See what I mean? And having it at the end of the course makes it even more unfair. Pretty much the only way that anyone ever beat that monster is if they didn't already have a bunch of goop all over their hands and feet from earlier obstacles. When your entire game looks broken and rigged to even an elementary-schooler, that's kinda sad.

anyone else think that contestants were persuaded to not answer the questions and go for the physical challenges? I was 7 years old when this show started airing and even I knew the answers to most of the questions but yet these older kids sometimes paired *with adults* were completely baffled?

and it left my mind that the show hit syndication (mostly FOX affiliates). It was on something like four times an evening

90s Nickelodeon made my childhood. So many fond memories I have of watching Nickelodeon practically everyday of my youth. I always especially looked forward to the weekends, when they aired their game shows and also Snick. Are You Afraid Of The Dark is easily my favorite old-school Nick show.

I remember wanting to watch Nick News but it played ridiculously early in the morning.

I think I said this before, but the mom on that show (Karen Fraction) went to my high school. She died several years back from cancer though.

EDIT: Weird thing I just noticed: All the boy actors on My Brother & Me have generational suffixes.

I remember he was in a McDonalds commercial around the time My Brother and Me was on and it confused the fuck out of me.

I hope I provided a small bump in the 2nd edition of the article, as I made a Facebook post about SNICK and linked it with quite a few likes.

Netflix and Nick struck a deal! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/13/business/media/netflix-nickelodeon-spongebob-squarepants.html

"Netflix and Nickelodeon announced a deal on Wednesday for Nickelodeon to create and produce original animated feature films and television series based on Nickelodeon’s library of characters. Shows based on completely new characters are also part of the agreement.

The people said the overall deal was worth more than $200 million to Nickelodeon."

If it leads to new movies based around 90s properties like the recent Hey Arnold movie, I'm up for all of this.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them reboot their beloved 90s game shows too like Nick Arcade and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

If old, fat Mike O'Malley returns for a GUTS special then fuck yeah.

Won't watch but I'm excited they're being exposed to a new generation and the fact that the original voice cast is back (minus Chuckie as the actress who voiced him passed away).

The Ringer's 30th Anniversary of SNICK article is unexpectedly moving.

To me, at least (cue "What's New?" reacts)
