90s Nick, the troop, and brainsurge.

BrainSurge is an up and coming game show set to premiere on nick next week. This show will be the first game show in many many years, that isn't a remake of another Nickelodeon game show. The guy who has been playing U Pick Boy for the last several years, will be hosting, and without his costume.

The Troop is a new show that recently premiered that is about 3 people who fight monsters. Its got a vibe that is reminiscent of 90s Nickelodeon. For starters, its color is darker than that of True Jackson VP and iCarly and Drake and Josh and Ned's Declassified. The show isn't just simply "giddiness" as many of the Nickelodeon shows are. Also, the actors look their age, and none of them have no prior fames of any sort. They have yet to be corrupted with the "Turn your Nick or Disney Star into Singers" scam.

These 2 shows are crucial. They are crucial as they are the first 2 Nick shows in practically a decade to be in the spirit of Classic 80s and 90s Nick.

Nick was getting started in the 80s, and reached its height in the 90s. Maybe that is because many of the shows coming out were sucessful or had major impact. Also, because they were the "firsts" of the group.

Nick of the 80s and 90s is often remembered as a channel that played many game shows, cartoons and live actions. It had a little bit of everything. It was the channel of slime.

These 2 shows may not be successful though...why? Because the young of today are not knowledgeable of what is a good show. They have been told that Hannah Montana is good, yet they did not get exposed to real talent and quality to know that Hannah Montana and anything like it (such as iCarly) is actually horrible..

Some feel 90s Nick fans need to grow up. But that is a hard thing to ask. 90s Nick fans are the first of its kind...to be apart of a growing channel that had its golden age and reached its height in the 90s...how do fans who are one of the firsts to really be apart of a kids' channel supposed to outgrow it, especially when other channels such as MTV has lost itself and isn't worth watching?

The Entertainment industry today sucks. Music, movies, shows, channels, everything is horrible. They must have run out of ideas....how else do explain such horridness??

Nickelodeon has changed so much since my childhood. I am only 20, yet I feel like i am 40...

I am biased against the Nick of today because I grew up in a different generation...but I also realize I grew up in Nickelodeon's best and most successful generation. I am a Rugrats girl...

In the 90s, it was in to be a Nick fan, it was cool, it had alot meaning. Visit web pages people post of "You know your a 90s kid" and you will realize just how cool the 90s were to be a kid...maybe that is because video games were becoming popular then, so people still rode bikes and played outside, unlike today where the video games are in full force, who needs outdoors...and remember the 90s was dial up internet and not DSL, so one wasn't on the computer for long...

there is definately a different vibe in Nickelodeon. There is no longer a prestige that comes with it.

Maybe I can't help but see Nick differently because I grew up in the 90s...but as I said before...people my age growing out of Nick is not going to be simple....90s Nick was powerful enough to keep its fans years after the fact...
