Nick Knacks for those who don't know, is a YouTube documentary series by PopArena that does a show by show history on Nickelodeon.

Several ways that I like to see this going. Obviously, I would want to see one done on MTV, since MTV besides being a sister channel to Nickelodeon, is pretty much now the poster child for a TV channel that strayed way too far from its original intent. Disney Channel, which is Nickelodeon's biggest competitor (well, besides Cartoon Network of course) is another one that is natural for getting the "Nick Knacks" treatment.

ESPN, if for nothing else, changing the way people watched sports. Years ago, I read a book on the origins of the network, and it was fascinating. I might have to download the Kindle version. That and The Big Show by Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann.

Outside of that and MTV, I don't know if too many cable channels are so iconic as to get a documentary. Maybe CNN for a similar reason as CNN, but replace sports with news.

Game Show Network, the channel became a shell of its former self during the last 5 years in favor of Buzzr’s success
