Happy 35th Birthday , Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon  TV 

     On this day in 1979 ,  Nickelodeon launched as  children's channel on cable and satellite , you know the early  days of cable , as a children's channel that broadcast  about 12 hours a day.   The idea of a children's channel fit in  the world of cable where many single genre channels were being launched before and after Nickelodeon came to be. Before then  children , could really only get children's programming  in the Saturday/ Sunday Mornings .and if they were lucky they had some independent channels doing some in the afternoon and mornings on weekdays. Also, unlike  children's on over the air TV (PBS not with standing)  it didn't have commercials.    Anyway  , in it's early days it broadcast repeats of older shows   and acquired new shows   like "You can't do that on Television".
       

      The channel broadcast for about 13 hours by 1983 , so after 9PMET /6PT it went to bed  but it helped spawn something else  ARTS  channel would take the night-shift   this would  later merge with Entertainment Network  and become A&;E (back then it was a watchable channel before 2005-ish) .   It later dropped that an launched another  once great project   in 1985 ,  Nick at Nite , which still exists .  Eventually expanding into more  younger children  Nick Jr. , which exists today as it's own 20 hour - a day channel .

     That was the 80's , now  the 90's ( which I think comes after the 80's ) Nickelodeon  set up it's footing and was forming it self in the 80's  , it did have original programs in the 80's but the 90's is what many people remember.   One thing that 90's Nickelodeon   is well remembered for  is it's 90's cartoons  , or properly called  Nicktoons.   August 11 , 1991, was the date they launched their first 3 animated series :  Doug, The Rugrats and Ren and Stimpy.   They also had programs such as ,  "Clarissa Explains it All" , Are you Afraid of the Dark, and  All That.    Many people who grew up in that age say this was the golden age of Nickelodeon.    In the 2000's they continued to create more programs  that kids now continue to love and watch.  Nickelodeon  has continued to be recognized name and has expanded into extra channels ,Nicktoons, Teennick , Nick Jr, and Nick Mom.   Nick at nite still continues ,even though it stopped being the home of classic shows.  But it airs Full House ,that's classic now.
   
So happy Birthday to you Nickelodeon.
