H20 was very popular with the target demographic even in the US. I’ve talked to multiple women in my age range that loved that show and are still nostalgic for it.
Yes!! I’ll be 28 in June and I loved that show when it came out and still rewatch it from time to time. It has such a unique and fun vibe imo. Plus I love the fact that it’s Australian, I always found that refreshing.
Exactly, i can tell this guy did not have sisters or was friends with a lot of girls growing up bc Zoey 101, h20, and unfabulous were the bestt to me growing up, i was obsessed and still have fondness for them !!
fr people literally started the whole over-pronounced Australian accent because of the nostalgia of this show lmfao. I wasn't even a girly girl back then and loved this show
As a teen girl in the US in the mid 2000s, I only just learned of the popularity of this show like last year. Never saw a single episode and no one I knew watched it or even mentioned it. Y'all really came up out of the woodwork out of nowhere recently 😂 No hate, I just think the popularity must have varied widely in different areas Unfabulous ftw though
Yep, and I would like to imagine that this was particularly true from around 2011 - 2021 with their "90s Are All That" block (and I'm sure I'm not the only kid who grew up watching that block almost every night).
Honestly had no idea about this show's popularity until like a year ago, and I was a teenage girl in the mid 2000s in the US. It's wild to *me* that it has such a huge and vocal fan base that didn't seem to exist where I lived. Like I never had a single person mention it to me during the duration of the show (or after we graduated, now that I think of it, we've never talked about it), and a few years ago I saw a video talk about it, and I thought, "Oh yeah, I think I've heard of that show... 🤔" And then there was a rabid fan base in the comments and I was like 👁️👄👁️
Surprised he doesn’t know who Nick Cannon is, went from one of the youngest Nick actors and writers, to having an illustrious music career, to being the sole person responsible for keeping the worlds population at an all time high.
My life as a teenage robot really does deserve more love, im glad that nickalodeon is featuring jenny more in games and youtooze giving the show an actual merch line instead of just a few t-shirts, dvd collections promotional posters and even a sketch archive book, this show needed more love then ever if nickalodeon didnt mistreat the show alot...
Nowadays teens as a group are being discarded completely. 13 and 14 are "just kids", 18 and 19 "basically adults", 15 to 17 are the respect of the former and the expectations of the latter. What's made for Actual Teens nowadays, not just either Real Youngs or Tax Payers? Seven year span, just straight up ignored...
One thing that comes to mind for me is, do older kids (around 12) even watch kids media anymore? It feels like they jump straight to the internet, a space with all kinds of content, skipping all the entertainment that is tailored to their age.
TeenNick didn't even exist here in the UK, we had 3 channels airing at the same time. Nick Jr (under 6), Nick Toons (cartoons only), and Nickelodeon (mostly live action)
@@gergelygalvacsy2251 I don't think it's that kids wouldn't care but there just aren't many quality shows aimed specifically at pre-teens and teens so there is less demand for it
The way you talked about "Tiana" is interesting because it was essentially a more urban/latino version of "Victorious" which was very... Schneider coded. And the show ended just before Schneider's influence really took over Nickelodeon.
Eh. I would’ve prefer it if they just kept drake the way he was in s1 and s2 and Josh the way he was in s3 and s4. what they did to drake plays into the annoying trope that Nick does when they stereotypically dumb down a character as the seasons go on.
@@ajaiythe show got better when Drake got dumber tbh. The best episodes of that show are mainly from Seasons 2-4 and if the kept the way Drake was those season with Josh’s character development, you’d have two straight men and it would make the show boring.
@@flashfunk0373 he didn’t have to get dumber for Josh to have character development. that makes no sense. it’s one thing to be a sensical character and be goofy and dumb sometimes which is what he was but it’s another to completely have him be “the dumb one” as if that’s his whole personality trait. then it becomes unfunny bc now it’s trying too hard to make him just “dumb.’
I've never seen it, haven't watched tv for more than 10 years. For me there's nothing interesting on TV these days and the good shows you can watch are on streaming.
I watched ICarly, Drake and Josh, and Victorious a lot as a little kid, but only because it's what my older cousins watched when they visited. I felt so mature watching shows that weren't animated.
Ehh I was obsessed with the cartoons as a preteen, I actually hated the live action shows until iCarly debuted. Then shows like that, Drake and Josh, and Victorious all of a sudden became my favorite. I guess it comes with age, huh?
i remember watching teennick solely for degrassi, the "90s are all that" block at night, and the teennick top ten music videos in the early 2010s! i honestly miss it quite a bit
Now you've properly hit me in my childhood. Seriously, my fondest memories of television were being a little kid and thinking I was cool as hell watching sitcoms like Icarly, Victorious & Especially Big Time Rush on Teen Nick circa 2010
Oh my god, literally someone other than me that remembers 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd. I had no idea that was a Nickelodeon production! "Please excuse the Russian subtitles, these are the only copies of the show I could find online." That's not Russian, that's Greek.
@@rcmero we had satellite then cable, but I do remember various Nick/Fox Kids/CN/Disney shows reruns on the kids morning blocks on our freeview channels like CBBC, CITV, Channel 5 "milkshake" Could be the same wherever you are from
Yeah, I think it was a local channel, I think it was before there was one specifically aimed at teens. Must be why I didn't know this was a Nickelodeon production.
Dude, no one ever talks about "Shelby Woo." I had a love-hate with that show. One, it was nice to see a show starring an Asian lead aimed at mystery solving for an older audience, similar to "GhostWriter...," but on the other hand... it was so hard to get through at times, lol. But also, "Snick" is the legacy, "TeenNick" was the follow-up that gained its own channel that was headed by Nick Cannon for a while. It merged with "Noggin" and was most known for airing a bunch of shows like "Degrassi" aimed specifically at teenagers.
It would have taken 2 seconds to learn that Nick Cannon was not only a member of All That, one of Nickelodeon's flagship shows, but he also had his own show named after him on Nickelodeon
What's even worse is that he thought Nickelodeon was named after him. Even I knew that, but I am a little older than Waffle and I watched All That even before Nick came on the show.
i was with you til h2o, i LOVED that show and have rewatched as a teen and adult multiple times and still love it, i know a ton of people who still have nostalgia for it :/ its at least on the level of the other better teennick shows
I really liked the Brothers Garcia, it's a shame it has been forgotten. Rewatching it here on YT and I think for me the show holds up really well as it's not over the top and has lessons every end of an episode. Also I would say that the show has heart. I started rewatching as I read that it was actually revived around 2022 or 2023 but was eventually cancelled. While I loved the original run when I was young I get why the revival did not do well as I said I feel like this is one of those forgotten nick shows.
I know this is from your prospective but it’s hilarious how all the “white shows” get whole play by play commentary and the minority shows are like, “yeah it aired,aaannndd alright moving on” AMAANDDAAA SHOOWWWW!!!!!! YEEESSS
No, those shows just weren’t that iconic. I don’t think it has anything to do with race. That’s So Raven, for example, is arguably Disneys biggest hit after Hannah Montana. Because it was really good. People like to bring up True Jackson VP or Tiana and pretend like those shows were as iconic as iCarly or Victorious. I need y’all to be serious
Nick cannon is pretty popular for having a music career in the past that is joked about a lot on his current popular show Wild N Out on VH1 I think and he was also in a lot of popular movies like Drumline, Love Don’t Cost A Thing, Roll Bounce, etc
I was only like 6 or 7 when watching teenick, but I still specifically remember there were a bunch of acne treatment cream commercials and commercials for ringtones that played during that block. It made me feel so hip
AHAHA oh my god I remember those. I would always have TeenNick playing in middle school when I was sick (which was a lot) and I still remember those ringtones. Education Connection also played a lot.
The All That reboot got way more than 8 episodes and it actually never officially got cancelled. The COVID-19 pandemic caused production to be suspended after the show was renewed for another season and production sadly just never resumed. This could be because Kenan & Kel (executive producers of the reboot) were busy with Good Burger 2 and the cast of kids have also been busy with other projects. Hopefully it comes back but we'll see
Moody's Point was actually going to be another Show, and was on Amanda Show to see how audiences reacted, and wasnt going to end in a cliffhanger. But Amanda Show ended, and decided not to do the show (Sorry for so many comments, making these comments as i'm watching this video for the first time)
Suprised you didn’t mention this, but being a 2000’s kid myself, It gave me the opportunity to grow up with Hey Arnold!, Rugrats and the other classic Nicktoons. They’d usually rerun really late, but It’s pretty cool to of genuinely grew up with them instead of finding them later in life! Also, any one remember the creepy Anti-Smoking commercials that’d always air on this channel??
I had the same experience as you, and yes, I remember those anti smoking commercials by Truth Orange being played during pretty much every commercial break (that, and also some commercials for Maybelline and Proactiv).
I actually enjoyed it while it was airing and then there were never any new episodes (it even got me wondering about the original all that where I would watch clips on RU-vid and try to catch reruns on teennick lol)
Oh, and as far as who Nick Cannon is, he was the host of an improv comedy show on MTV called "Wild n' Out" in the '00s, which was like a hip-hop "Who's Line is It Anyway?" Okay, so there used to be a channel called "MTV" which stood for "Music television," and they would play music videos, just like the kind you see here on RU-vid, but, like on TV.
Nick cannon used to be a side character in alot of 90s nick shows then he became a full time actor in movies and since the 2000s he is the host of wild n out💀
Fun fact, the original "All That" Introduced us to a young Gabriel Iglesias. That's right, Fluffy himself got started on Nickelodeon. He mentions it in one of his Comedy shows.
I fell in love with that podcast because of their dynamic and personalities (especially Devon 😍) but I’ve honestly only ever seen a few episodes of Ned’s lol. Maybe I should give it a try now.
I can tell you're young because the excitement for the meh Drake and Josh but not really familiar with the iconic Taina, Alex Mack, etc. Especially because Victorious is a copy of Taina and Taina did not get the justice and treatment that was deserved because it was an "urban" show. Plus the disrespect to Are You Afraid Of The Dark. You know you could watch both AYAOTD and Goosebumps, right?🥴
Another reason why "Taina" was screwed by Nickelodeon is that the network thought this show didn't reach its target demographic of uptight prim and proper suburban white boys.
@MichaelLovely-mr6oh Actually, the main reason why the show was screwed was because of behind the scenes issues. Vidal & her management team clashed with Nick execs regarding the child labor laws & her record deal. The execs tried to abuse the child labor laws with Christina Vidal & they didn't like her signing with another company, so they canceled her show.
I can't believe you dragged H2o like that. This was my show growing up😂. I watch it every summer lol. My sister and I got the lockets they wore in the show too, it's in my closet somewhere 💀💀. The amount of times we went outside during a full moon thinking something magical was gonna take place. YT was full of fan series and "real mermaid spells", what a time to be alive 💛😭😭
@@skinni_the_P00hBear Awesome! My personal favorite character on "H2O" is Rikki because she was straightforward and feisty in addition to being the total opposite of Cleo (who was extremely sweet and naïve) and Emma (who was an overly neurotic perfectionist.)
Bro how old are you? Your chronology is off in some areas and your description of nick at nite is way off. Stop putting an opinion on shows you weren’t there for, change in time a lot of stuff you don’t get. The shows looked great for the time, for kids. You’re going back and watching them with 4k brain.
Amanda canceled her podcast after one episode because she couldn't get the people she wanted on. Other than that, I saw XJ9 from My Life as a Teenage Robot. Such an awesome show. It can come back and perhaps a reboot with a more serious take on the story.
This vid was very nostalgic. I grew up in the 2000s, and remember Teenick as a standalone channel. I did not know or remember watching the Teenick or Snick programming block. Out of all the shows mentioned, Drake & Josh and iCarly were staple shows growing up. Drake & Josh still holds up over two decades later. I will always love the Drake & Josh, and never really cared much about Drake Bell and Josh Peck as actors. Lastly, I watched Just Jordan. And one thing the show deserves credit for, is by having three unique leads. Lil JJ as the star and him having a latino and asian as his best buds. Which I think you did not see much of back then in Children's Television.
It's a shame that Alex Mack is so hard to find. It was one of my favorites. Most of the drama of the show revolved around the fact that a CIA-like government agency was always after Alex, because they knew she got covered in the chemical, had some kind of powers because of it, and were stalking her.
Also i immediately remembered the Caitlin's Way theme song tho...didnt like the show much...but the theme song just stuck in my mind from just seeing you mention it. And omfg...i loved Cousin Skeeter omg
OMG YES! At least you remember 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd! To this day I always say peoples dogs are just people cursed to do good deeds and no one gets the reference.
Degrassi was not made by nick or on teen nick until much later. It was airing on CTV in Canada and airing on also in the USA under The N umbrella… which stands for Noggin. Also, a separate channel from Nick.
@@pleaseshutup7053 he covered H20 becasue it was apart of teennick block on Nickelodeon. Where Degrassi was only on TeenNick when it became its own channel.
@@pleaseshutup7053 the difference was that the first season of H2O was aired on the regular Nickelodeon channel before being moved to the Teenick channel for the other two seasons, despite it not being a Nickelodeon original. Degrassi was aired on Noggin, that turned to the Teenick channel, and had its forever home there. This video was mainly dedicated to the Teenick segment on the original Nick before it got its own channel. But I can see why these shows confused others for this video
I don’t mean to sound rude but have you ever heard of the term “mockumentary”? Because that’s what the Naked Brothers band is. It’s not a sitcom but a tv show set up as documentary with events that are still made up but it’s presented as real. That’s why the Naked Brother’s band comes across as more authentic and “real” because for mockumentaries there’s not a complete script. Some of the scenes are the boy’s real reaction to the situations Nickelodeon set up for them. That’s how mockumentaries are typically filmed, adding in real scenes to get a more raw outcome.
Alex Mack was one of my favourite shows as a kid! There was an episode where they were fencing that stuck with me long enough for me to take it up as a teenager and spend 8 years fencing.
Ayo The Secret World of Alex Mack was fire. She had to hide her powers from her parents and townsfolk. The only people who knew she had powers were her older sister Annie and best friend Ray. She could shoot electricity from her fingertips, telekinesis, and could turn into a puddle.
If I'm not mistaken, I thought she had a couple of friends who knew, and her sister didn't find out until like the last season, then came the TV movie when they finally found out about her, the bad guys and her parents, and it was revealed her parents did have an antidote, and the last scene kept it vague on whether she took it or not, and as a side note, they parodied Alex Mack on All That, instead of powers, she finds a saxophone and decides to start playing it, really badly, they called it Alex Sax
What’s weird is that I remember a lot of shows starting with Drake and Josh in that wacky Dan sphere airing a lot more on Nick than Teen Nick, but shows like Ned’s Declassified, Naked Brothers Band, and True Jackson VP airing more on Teen Nick. Which is weird, cause at the time of ICarly, I couldn’t seen them being Nick originals instead of Teen Nick originals. However, at the same time that’s what gave Nick a bit of an edge over Disney Channel in terms of sitcoms and drama esc shows, even though Disney was way more popular.
@aaron_aj_knight_95 True Jackson had 3 seasons but it rarely aired on the network. Nick let Schneider's shows & SpongeBob dominate the network by that time period.
I have NEVER been able to get certain Naked Brothers Band songs out of my head. I'm 28 and they'll still pop up every now and then and I haven't watched the show since I was a kid!
For real, the way you introduce each show is so funny 😂😂😂 "The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo? More like the Mystery Files of Shelby WHO???" "Caitlin's Way... Now who the hell is Caitlin and why do I care which way she's going"
Well, THIS is a trip down memory lane! I was born in '93, so I was at the PERFECT age for Snick and then Teennick. Seeing a retrospective on this stuff really hits me in the nostalgia in a way not a lot of stuff does. Great vid dude
TeenNick didn't exist here in the UK, we had 3 channels airing at the same time. Nick Jr (under 6), Nick Toons (cartoons only), and Nickelodeon (mostly live action)
Did "Be Kind, Rewind" rip-off "The Amanda Show"? Jack Black film with same premise: guys make cheesy at-home parodies of rental VHS movies after they all get erased (magnets) and pass them off as "foriegn renditions."
Ned’s Declassified had 4 - 12 year old me in a chokehold. I religiously watched any new episode / rerun. I even put it on as background noise while doing something else when all 3 seasons were on Netflix. I have pretty bad memory but I can recall any episode of that show.
Nick cannon is probably the most famous person on here lol commentators talk real crazy when a black celebrity that they personally are unaware of is onscreen his early Nick presence wasn’t as intense but he became the face of Nick at a point with blockbuster movies under his belt and vh1 fame his show on vh1 has more seasons than any Nick show ever 😭 like he’s a famous comedic actor great host lotsa charisma and with minimal research he’s very famous among black ppl but even then he hosted AMERICAS got talent t hale the ppl on this list are doing podcasts abt the shows they did decades ago lol I don’t even care for him but this is like the 3rd Nickelodeon vid I’ve watched chronicling their shows where there are massive black stars that are givin very minimal effort but the other stars u get all the trivia and gravitas of their success even if it was short lived or only emblematic of the time 😭
From 1991 to 1994 to be precise. This show helped Melissa Joan Hart launch her career and without "Clarissa Explains it all" we wouldn't have "Sabrina the Teenage Witch."
@@MermaidGal90 Cool! Its available on youtube now but I own an original VHS for the nostalgia! Have you seen "The Thirteenth Year"? I remember seeing that advertised on Disney channel and I couldn't wait for it to come out! I kept bugging my parents about it, I didnt understand tv movies vs real movies back then. Do you have any recommendations obscure mermaid movies?
No offence to you but it seems like a lot of times you didn't like a show it wasn't because it was bad, but because it was more geared towards girls than general audiences, Unfaboulous, H2o, zoey 101. All were great. I apologize that you weren't a teenage girl?
Is there a problem that a boy wouldn't find a show geared towards girls to be interesting? You're making it seem like he has some sort of vandetta against anything other than boy shows
the issue is he's critiquing the shows themselves, especially h20 i found, in an overarching way and not leaving the room that maybe it just wasn't his taste. to quote him "If you grew up with this show and liked it, im sorry, for you. you had a bad childhood."@@Tcyc-le3pi
@@Tcyc-le3piTell me about it. I enjoyed watching "H2O: Just Add Water" as well as "Zoey 101" for the cinematography as well as the theme songs. I enjoyed watching "Unfabulous" because it allowed Emma Roberts to prove that she was so much more than the niece of Julia Roberts and the songs that her character Addie Singer performed were like something that Taylor Swift would have performed.
@@ConnerTheWaffleConner Man,you completely missed talking about “Roundhouse” on SNICK,it was a sketch comedy show that used very little props as opposed to ALL THAT,and you missed that there was a full-length Are You Afraid of the Dark movie “Tale of the Silver Sight” that brought back some of the OG cast You also NEED to look MORE into ICarly than you did here,cuz you didn’t even mention how it was so successful that it got a soft reboot a couple years ago picking up years later from the OG show
