New GAS Schedule...

And if you want to go back even further, don't forget "Pinwheel", which Nick produced themselves (not counting the animated shorts within), not only when Nick went national in 1979, but back in the days when it was a local channel in Columbus OH, in 1977.

And according to the great page I was directed to from the above links, the name Nickelodeon came because the original station ID consisted of a man turning the crank on an old nickelodeon machine.

I believe she was on a half dozen or so shows, all in 1986. Unfortunately, "YCDToTV" will probably never air in the states again (except for the occasional U-Pick situation) because the production company would have to pay ALL of the 100+ kids. Something they're not prepared to do. If you think that's baloney, check here. There's an article about somewhere. [/quote]

How very disturbing that I'm listening to her unplugged album as I read this.  Indeed.

Actually, this is the line:
"Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?"

ObGameshows: The "Music" episode from 86, featuring Alanis, was aired not too long ago on Nick. According to the voiceover at the end, it was "A Name That Tune production."

 Announcer: I could name that tune in one note...way, way off key!

[sigh] Another series lost to the realities of economics.

Speed Racer is on GAS? I thought it was on SPEED. Perhaps the GAS episodes are from the 1990's version? SPEED runs the original "Mach Go Go Go" series from the 60's that many of us geezers in the group grew up on.

 Back in November, one of the NASCAR cars ran a Speed Racer paint scheme....but I thought the series busted in March and went to GAS. IIRC, both show the original.

[inturnaround]

Well, I know that Nick proper has played the 90s Speed Racer most recently, so that's most likely what GAS is playing.

[rugrats1]

I think you're right about GAS showing the late-1990s version, which is actually called "Speed Racer X", not to be confused with a short-lived American-made revival that was seen in 1993, which is not seen on GAS (though Group W, since absorbed by Viacom, distributed that version).

[sshuffield70]

God, there was another Speed Racer?  And I saw this other short lived one, and boy did it ever suck.  I was wondering what these writers were on when they wrote this dribble.
