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.
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
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.
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.
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. :)

I kept saying I\'d give it a shot, but procrastinated on it a bit. I also promised myself not to be upset or surprised when the site shut down. When I saw it getting some press, I knew it was only a matter of time.
/Waits for someone to complain about the travesty of Viacom defending its own material

True enough, but I can think of at least six synaptic malfunctions that I wouldn\'t have committed had it been me.When you\'re doing something that you know to be of questionable legality? You bet it is.
Seems like they\'ve taken a different tact to keep the site functional. Whether that\'ll keep Viacom away, who knows...

It\'s a catch 22. Viacom can\'t monitize the library enough to make it worth their while to make it available to the public and they also don\'t want fans to have access to it for free. Maybe if a sub-distributor (like a Mill Creek) could make a deal.
