As streaming platforms quickly replace good old-fashioned TV watching, Nickelodeon has announced a plan to win back the millenials that outgrew it. The method? Nostalgia overdose.
According to Variety, Nickelodeon will launch a new block of programming this October called The Splat! that will feature shows “from the network’s heyday.” There’s no official information yet on exactly which series will be featured, though classics like Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, and Aaahh!!! Real Monsters are likely candidates.
Though Buzzfeed originally speculated the block would only feature cartoons, it’s also very likely that The Splat! will include live-action hits like The Secret World of Alex Mack, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and The Adventures of Pete & Pete. If you don’t remember those shows, you simply weren’t born in the ’90s.
In the meantime, you can link up to Splat’s social media outlets to stay informed, and prepare yourself by revisiting the classic Nickelodeon Magazine commercial you saw sixty times an afternoon during your childhood.
