Can you believe it's been almost 5 years now? It feels like just yesterday that I was making the nightly discussion threads for The 90s Are All That here and we'd almost max the thread out every night for a good year while I was still posting them.
How much longer do you think this 90s revivalism has left? I mean they are making new Hey Arnold and new Rocko. No sign of Rugrats yet beyond some rumors. Yet on other networks we've got Fuller House, Girl Meets World, etc.
Will this last? With the rebranding to The Splat they expanded to a full 8 hour night block starting at 10 instead of the original 4 hours at 12. Is this a sign of its popularity or is it just keeping up with the age of the audience? No longer in college the audience can't usually watch at midnight. That's why the timeless Hey Arnold is always on first run.
You've been living under a rock? The Hey Arnold Jungle Movie is in full production with Craig Bartlett for a Thanksgiving 2017 premier and a Rocko special was announced for sometime next year as well.

Remember when Hot Topic was full of '80s stuff?
Aiden Hughes
I really wish it did. I fucking hate the media pushing 80's shit down everyone's throats. What a fucking shit decade.
Hunter Collins
The animation was garbage limited animation anyway. The 80s brought some great properties, but they were executed terribly in the decade.
Robert Hughes
This generation is pretty steeped in nostalgia, it won't go away for a while. People see the 80s and 90s as a more innocent time than now, before 9/11 and endless terrorism, whether that's true or not. It's both nostalgia and escapism.
Hunter Jones
>a Rocko special was announced for sometime next year as well
Will it have the same staff? Dan Povenmire, Mark O'Hare, and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh were the storyborders that made Rocko for what it is. If the original staff does not return then it might as well be not be Rocko then.
Adrian Green
90's is superior though. The only people who care about the 80's are baby boomers and kike directors when their power and influence was at an all time high.
Jacob Cooper
That's very true. You can see it in media. There been a tonal shift post-9/11. Its one of the reasons why, I believe, that SpongeBob maintains its popularity. No matter how shitty or gross it's episodes have been in the intervening years between the two films, it's maintained it's innocence.
Eli Thompson
>Its one of the reasons
Hudson James
All we know is that Joe Murray is the executive producer.
Nathaniel Ross
>tfw the al that theme song is playing in my head That show was pretty fun for it time. until they replaced the older characters with shit ones.
John Mitchell
I didn't even know Nick was doing this, that's pretty cool I'll have to check it out.
Nicholas Moore
The reason for that is because this internet iphone gen z shit is terrible. The whole generation is glued to the internet and the influence of SJW and "progressive" shit is everywhere now. And what's really bad about this is not the whore fat women and nu-males killing society but the kids the grew up on this shit and thinks that this is the "normal" way of living. It makes me sick.
Michael Peterson
>al that
Dominic Rodriguez
That does not help as he also created Camp Lazlo and that shit was mediocre.
Leo Thomas
>>>>> Sup Forums
Totally forgot about that. Well, he was going through a really rough time in his life. Maybe that affected the quality.
Joshua James
One weird thing I did notice is that the logo for the Splat is slightly darker orange than the original Nick splat logo.
Cooper Lewis

Jackson Peterson
I think it was so they could air more shows and more commercials (are catered to college age and older). I bet they get decent ratings on these blocks, it's fun to watch when everyone else is asleep, replaced the fox portion of adult swim for me.
Vh1 classic just turned into MTV classic so I say another 2-5 years, OP. It's actually really nice to see remixes of old viacom bumps.

Anthony Davis
I typically watch Hey Arnold every night. There are only a handful of bad episodes. The rest is timeless. Fuck knows why Rocket Power is always on after. They really need to rotate more.
Christopher Hall

Hunter Martinez
Oh yeah, I can cherrypick too. And I like how you only brought up music.
Daniel Rodriguez
Its a block on TeenNick so unfortunately not everyone gets it. I wonder if one day they'll replace Nick@Nite with it or start including 90s Nick shows in Nick@Nite.
Brayden Flores
>tfw Pete & Pete is never rerun often or will ever get a full DVD release because of music licensing issues
Liam Jackson
Watching Hey Arnold at night is so comfy, it's become a habit for me too. Always end up watching Rocket Power for laughs, that show was too corny that I can't help but like it (again)
Gavin Lopez
cherrypick? every mainstream music scene is usually bad or average regardless of decade, and no i wouldn't know about cartoons because i only watch stuff akin to fantastic planet and akira
Isaac Sanders
and adult swim, i like adult swim sometimes
Ryan Brown
The 90s was the pinnacle of human cultural achievement. I'm not sure how young people survive in the current cultural wasteland they inhabit.
Carson Turner
If you're pretending to be this stupid, please stop.
If you genuinely believe what you're saying, please stop.
Its such a weird show. I remember watching it because I was into Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 so much at the time.
Camden Cooper
Too bad they keep on showing the same shit every single night.
Catdog, Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Rockey Power, Hey Arnold for so many years. Meanwhile their commercials keep showing off Hey Dude, Double Dare, Salute Your Shorts, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Aah Real Monsters....... never to appear outside of a single special night once a year maybe.
Chase Nguyen
Rotation was always their problem, they keep airing the same shows in one to two hour blocks every night and it burns people out.
Caleb Robinson
Anyone remember that one night they just aired the old Mighty Morphin Power Rangers episodes?
Angel Long
Yep. I could understand keeping anchor shows on every night like Hey Arnold and Rugrats. But at least rotate the rest of the block daily or even weekly. I haven't seen Doug (except for the anniversary weekend), Rocko, LOTHT, etc in ages. I know their schedule varies a bit on the weekend, but not enough.
Jaxon Wright
The show is still shitty now
Isaiah Myers
Spongebob is still shitty now
Brayden Kelly
Didn't Rocket Power start in 99? Why is that always on the 90's blocks? There has to be a more 90's centric show they could have on the block every night.
Isaac Lopez
Hopefully season 10, when Hillenberg is fully back on and Paul Tibbet is fully gone, will be a return to form. The second movie was Hillenberg and it was great.
Xavier Carter
It was 99, but it's firmly entrenched in the Xtreme sports phase during that time. Also the rebranding to The Splat allowed them to expand a bit. They showed All Grown Up (the series not just the pilot) at one point. As well, a lot of 90s shows extended into the first half decade of the 21st century.
Ayden Moore
Who didn't love this man's music?
Jason James
