The channel became known for its iconic green slime, originally used on the Canadian sketch-comedy show You Can't Do That on Television. It was then adopted by the station as a primary feature of many of its shows, a few gone off the channel. Many adults know the service best for its Nick at Nite offerings of classic TV sitcoms in the prime-time and overnight hours. Many of Nickelodeon's animated television series, or "Nicktoons," have gained a reputation for dark humor, surrealism, and unique commentary. Some examples of this include Ren and Stimpy, AAAHH!!! Real Monsters,and Invader ZIM. Nickelodeon began producing original animated shows known as Nicktoons in 1991. The three original Nicktoons Doug, Rugrats, and The Ren and Stimpy Show debuted that year. During the mid 90's the network made a shift to more animation shows and fewer live-actions shows (such as Double Dare 2000) that were "taped before a live studio audience at Universal Studios in Orlando Florida." As late as 2004, shows were still being taped in front of an audience at Nickelodeon Studios. The network vacated Universal Studios Florida in 2005. There are many sites on the internet dedicated to "classic Nick" as it was before the vast majority of the programming was animated cartoons. In May 1999, Nickelodeon introduced their most popular original show to date, SpongeBob SquarePants. The animated show would be embraced by both young and old alike worldwide, sell billions of dollars in merchandise, and become a pop culture icon. Nicktoons with similar appeal such as The Fairly OddParents would soon follow. Invader Zim was officially cancelled 2 years after its premiere, but has gained an extensive following. The Fairly OddParents (originally aired on Oh Yeah! Cartoons), however, has become one of the channel's most popular shows. The Original Nickelodeon logo. Nick at Nite In July 1985, the Nick at Nite programming block began airing on Nickelodeon from prime time to early morning; originally the channel went dark after 8pm Eastern, although many cable operators substituted other channels at night, such as A&E or C-SPAN. The early lineups featured such black and white classics as The Donna Reed Show, My Three Sons, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour and Route 66, as well as Mad Movies with the LA Connection and Nickelodeon's Turkey Television on weekends. More recent programming included various sitcoms from the '70s, '80s and '90s such as The Cosby Show, Roseanne, A Different World, and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Nick at Night has also produced original programming such as Fatherhood (an animated show based on the book by Bill Cosby) and Hi-Jinks (a Punk'd-like series where parents play practical jokes on their children). This block is known as Nick Comedy on Nick Germany. In the mid-to-late-1990s, shows like I Love Lucy, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and shows that are now on TV Land were aired on Nick at Nite. Generally speaking, Nick at Nite's programming has moved forward with the times, while still broadcasting shows at least ten to twenty years old. Nick-at-Nite was conceived and developed as the first 'oldies' television network by long time MTV Networks consultants Fred/Alan Inc. (Fred Seibert and Alan Goodman), who, in late 1984, had been responsible for boosting Nickelodeon from the lowest basic cable network in America to its number one status in six months. Other Nickelodeon channels In 1996, Nick at Nite spun off the channel TV Land, which currently airs a variety of older shows, primarily sitcoms from 1951 to 1992. Nickelodeon has spun off other cable networks: Nick Too (Nick on a three hour delay -- its west coast feed repackaged for east coast viewers, although now the plain west coast feed is used), Nick Games and Sports (Nick GAS), NickToons Network, and Noggin/The-N (originally a joint venture with the Children's Television Workshop). It also operates language- or culture-specific Nickelodeon channels for various markets in different parts of the world, and has licensed translated versions of some of its cartoons and other content to TV and cable stations such as Kinderkanal and Super RTL of Germany, YTV of Canada, Canal J of France, Alpha Kids of Greece and CNBC-e of Turkey.
