in a little over a year, it will mark 20 years since the premiere of Nick At Nite.

Who thinks it would be cool if Nick takes a week out of it's Cosby marathon and devotes a week to the last 20 years of N@N?


imagine it like this (well, just a few suggestions for shows from these eras, I don't remember a lot of the early 90's stuff):

Sunday (1985-1987)

I think it would be a great idea but I don't think N@N cares anymore.

An excellent idea, I think. Be nice if Nick at Nite actually gave this some thought!

A wonderful idea, BuffySlayer79!

:cool:

That's a wonderful idea! I'm been a loyal viewer of Nick at Nite since 1985. I have absolutely love how Nick at Nite has changed. It would be great to see a week or two set aside for past 20 years on Nick at Nite.

Their current line-up as of May 2004

That is a good idea, but there is no way N@N will actually do anything like that.

when Nickelodeon turned 20 in 1999, they brought back all their classic shows, ala You Can't Do That On Television, etc.. for a one-time only affair, so I wonder they could the same with N@N

I love the idea. It would be great if they could care enough to do it.

N@N plans to celebrate its 20th anniversary by airing a special marathon called "How we went from being a great network to being the Cosby/Roseanne channel" :D

That's a GREAT idea, Buffy. I remember the summer before I got TVLand (summer 2001), they aired a 48-hour marathon for their own 5th anniversary. There was soooooo much good stuff on it. I was crying because I didn't have TVLand! I hope they do something similar for their 10th anniversary in 2006.

I just hope Nick doesn't do the expected "to celebrate our 20th anniversary, let's air a week-long marathon of Raven-Symone episodes of The Cosby Show, since that's the best series we have ever shown", lol.

Didn't N@N overplay I Love Lucy and The Mary Tyler Moore Show for a time too? I'm sure Cosby isn't the only they've given the special treatment too. Anyway, Cosby got boring after its first run on the channel.
