Some of my favorite Nick at Nite Shows

[someoneiused2kno]

Hey guys,

One of my absolute favorite channels of all time (before it turned to **** when it added The George Lopez Show in 2007, then recently canceled by ABC) is Nick at Nite.

With all this in mind, here are some of my favorite Nick at Nite programs.

1. Home Improvement: On December 5, 2003, 4 days before my 19th birthday, I called Nick at Nite headquarters suggesting that they add Home Improvement to its regular lineup, despite it being off the air only 4 years at the time; 8 months later, on August 13, 2004, Classic TV Hits (http://classictvhits.com) was the 1st to report that Nick at Nite had acquired the shared cable rights with TBS to air Home Improvement reruns starting in Fall 2007; on September 3, 2007, Tim Allen hosted an all-night, week-long salute to Home Improvement in celebration of its addition to the Nick at Nite lineup; after the marathon, Nick at Nite began airing the series regularly week-nights at 9 p.m. ET/PT with 2 episodes a night; NAN continued airing it until early 2012. Home Improvement was produced by Wind Dancer Productions, Inc. in association with Walt Disney Television.

2. Growing Pains: My 2nd favorite show ever acquired by Nick at Nite, Growing Pains first began airing on Nick at Nite on June 21, 2005 as part of the networks 20th NANiversary Celebration. The series made a teen idol out of 15-year-old Kirk Cameron (born on October 12, 1969 in Los Angeles, California, USA), who was cast in Fall 1984, just before turning 15, as Mike Seaver. Among other cast members included Tracey Gold (born Tracey Fisher on May 16, 1969 in New York City, New York, USA) as Carol Seaver, the eldest teen daughter; Jeremy Miller (born on October 21, 1975 in West Covina, California, USA) as Ben Seaver, the youngest teen son of Dr. Jason Seaver (Alan Thicke, who was born on March 1, 1947 in Kirkland Lake, Canada) and his journalist wife, Maggie (Joanna Kerns, who was born Joanna De Varona on February 12, 1953 in San Francisco, California, USA); and Leonardo DiCaprio (born on November 11, 1974 in Los Angeles, California, USA) as Luke Brower, a homeless 15-year-old boy taken in by the Seaver family after being introduced as a pupil at the inner-city high school where Mike (Kirk) taught for credit. YES, for the record, I KNOW many biographies FALSELY list Kirks year of birth as 1970 and Jeremys list of birth as 1976, respectively, but in reality, as posted earlier, per the E! True Hollywood Story, Kirk WAS born on October 12, 1969 AND Jeremy was born on October 21, 1975, and on a related note, per the same source, Kirks sister Candace WAS born on April 6, 1975 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Here is how the info I just gave is accurate. #1: In previous generations, if you were born between January 1 AND December 31 of a given calendar year, you would have graduated high school with those born in the year you were, with the youngest graduation age being 16 in California; however, after the Kennedy assassination, when LBJ took office, LBJ signed into law, effective the Fall 1965 American Public School curriculum, that if you were born AFTER September 1 of a given calendar year, you would cut off into the next grade, with private schools having their own agenda. Case in point: a friend of mine from my hometown who is exactly Kirk Camerons age, having been born 2 days before Christmas 1969, graduated high school at age 16, but ONLY because the school he attended was a private work-at-your-own pace Christian school; after Dubya took office, the cut-off date was changed nationwide from September 1 to December 2, with outgoing Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger changing the cut-off date in California to September 1 before leaving office after his marriage to Maria Shriver ended in divorce.

3. Americas Funniest Home Videos: In 2008, this hit TV game show surpassed Whats My Line? as the longest-running prime-time game show in Network TV History. The year is 1988. 64-year-old George H.W. Bush is elected U.S. President; Bill Cosby has the #1 rated show on TV with The Cosby Show; and a rookie TV producer named Vin Di Bona (whose Saturday-morning game show Animal Crack-Ups is on its way off the air) is on vacation with his wife, Gina, in Japan. During the vacation, Vin catches a glimpse of a variety show called Fun with Kato and Ken (a segment of which featured Japanese citizens sending in their funniest moments ever caught on tape) and thought to himself, THIS is my NEXT Game Show! As he had done 2 years earlier with Alan Thicke for Animal Crack-Ups, Vin hired Bob Saget to host the hour-long pilot for what by this time was rechristened Americas Funniest Home Videos. The pilot taped in early 1989 and was immediately picked up to series by the ABC Television Network. The hour-long pilot was telecast on November 26, 1989 on ABC; 7 weeks later, on January 14, 1990, Americas Funniest Home Videos began airing every Sunday night at 8 P.M. ET/PT in a format that has remained unchanged throughout its long run, with U.S. & Canadian citizens sending in their funniest moments ever caught on tape in the hopes of becoming a combined $15,000 richer: $10,000 1st, $3,000 2nd, and $2,000 3rd. In addition to the combined $5,000, the 2nd and 3rd place winners, in the 1st season only, won an RCA Camera and an RCA TV, respectively. In May 1997, after 8 seasons, Bob Saget left the series and was replaced the following January by Daisy Fuentes, but ratings soon began to slide, and as a direct result, at the end of its 10th season, ABC canceled Americas Funniest Home Videos, with the last original episode telecast on August 28, 1999. Less than 2 years later, on July 20, 2001, ABC decided to bring back Americas Funniest Home Videos as a regular series, this time with Tom Bergeron hosting, a job he maintains today. Americas Funniest Home Videos is an ABC Entertainment Production for Vin Di Bona Productions and distributed by Buena Vista Television.

I like Home Improvement and I hope they can air Home Improvement again on Nick at Nite in the 9pm or 10pm hour along with George Lopez and Full House.
