I don\'t know if most of the members here know about this site already, but I\'ve been hooked for weeks--it\'s incredible. It\'s a 24-hour stream of dozens upon dozens of 90s and early 2000s Nickelodeon shows (including most, if not all, of the Nick game shows from that time period).

The schedule is randomly plucked from the site owner\'s database containing thousands of episodes, but it tends to skew towards the more popular shows. Give it a try (and donate) if you\'re into that sort of thing.

Enjoy while it\'s still a thing, I say.

It\'s been a thing for a very long time (at least a few years at this point) so I guess Nickelodeon just doesn\'t care

I\'m torn. Selfish me, who wants to watch what I want when I want on the device of my choosing with minimal interference by outside agencies, says \"hey, cool, I should also tell my sister about this.\" Realist me knows that while these sorts of streaming channels are neat, they\'re not a long term solution to the paradigm. Enjoy your burrito, but don\'t be sad when/if this disappears.

There was a Mexican place on my way home from QuizBusters that made the best steak burrito. I\'d pick one up after virtually every taping session, to the point that the guys knew exactly how I liked it. That store has since closed. I am sad.

Meanwhile, this older guy will just have to make do with the two half-episodes of \"What will they think of next!\" that have popped up on YouTube.

I hope this stays up through the weekend of the 22nd because it will make a weekend of bedridden recuperation move a little bit faster, so there\'s that too.

Also awesome: ad breaks are filled with authentic 80s- and 90s-era commercials.

Viacom will be sure to say something about this. They already took YouTube to court.

Due to an increase in traffic, brought on by the website being mentioned in The Huffington Post and A.V. Club among others, the owner of the site has decided to shut it down to avoid the inevitable Viacom strike that\'d be coming because of the site\'s increasing popularity.

That\'s sad.

Tried to tell you.

Called it. Hope you enjoyed the burrito.

I suppose the lesson here is to toil in obscurity and shun publicity.

When you\'re doing something that you know to be of questionable legality? You bet it is.

I went to the site once, and was surprised it was so well-liked, being that it was a stream vs. an on-demand platform. Given how many people balk when I show them how frills-free my cell phone is, I thought all the whippersnappers around here would be complaining. Guess they wanted a true retro experience of not being able to choose.
