Just some recommendations to get the conversation going,

I loved Legends of the Hidden Temple. Something about the cut-away view of the whole temple so you could see into every room from the side like it was a videogame level was, and is still, so appealing to me visually.

Hidden Temple still gives me more visceral anxiety than any other game show I've ever seen. Just universally brilliant.

That said, All That also deserves a lot of respect for launching Kenan Thompson's career.

Kenan and Kel. Salute your shorts. Alex Mack. Are you afraid of the dark. All that. But most importantly, Pete and Pete.

These shows are all incredible. They didn't speak down to their audience. They didn't lean on laugh tracks. They were just great

There are so many classic episodes of Pete and Pete; I watched all these shows and the only one I return to is Pete and Pete. So, so good!

I won't stand for this Roundhouse erasure.

Also, Melissa Joan Hart is a big Republican, so I don't want Clarissa explaining anything more to me. Girl, bye.

Kenan and Kel was my favorite as a kid.

I also really liked Slime Time Live, wish I went to a live taping when it was still going on.

Loved pretty much every show listed so far. One that hasn't been mentioned yet is Nickelodeon GUTS. Was kinda like the Nick version of American Gladiators. They'd compete against each other on obstacle courses and stuff and then at the end would race up a giant mountain.

Had a crush on the Aussie ref / scorekeeper lady too.

I expected stuff like The Amanda Show, Drake and Josh, Ned's Declassified, Zoey 101, coming into this thread.

Y'all are old. Go eat some oatmeal.

Tho I did really like watching hidden temple whenever I caught it early in the morning/I was at someone's house who had Nick GAS

All those shows together couldn't touch Pete and Pete.

Are you Afraid of the Dark was the only one I would watch every weekend. The others were ok, but wasn't "can't miss" tv to me when I was in grade school.

Ned's Declassified better than all the shows in the OP me thinks. I think we should have that conversation.

Kenan and Kel is the correct answer.

Special shout-outs to All That, Drake and Josh, Pete and Pete, and Cousin Skeeter.

My favorites were always Salute Your Shorts and Kenan and Kel.




I still can't believe how long this scene goes on for. Kenan and Kel both had great comedic timing.

I definitely preferred their game show stuff over their live-action comedy/drama stuff except for Are You Afraid Of The Dark. I could never get into stuff like Hey Dude or Salute Your Shorts, I found them kinda boring as a kid and would only watch them if there was nothing else on.

Can we mention more modern Nick shows? If so, it would either be Drake & Josh or iCarly.

It's a coin toss between Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and The Amanda Show. Honorable mentions go to Salute Your Shorts and Legends of the Hidden Temple.
C'mon now....

There's only ONE show that matters when it comes to Nickelodeon live action.

Drake Bell moving to Mexico, changing his name and singing/tweeting exclusively in Spanish after being called out for abuse and assault has made this completely unwatchable for me.

Out of those listed it's easily Clarissa then Salute followed closely by Hey Dude. Otherwise Are you Afraid of the Dark is second.

Pete and Pete. Go watch The Nightcrawlers or the Field of Pete episode and tell me otherwise.
