Listen up, 90s kids.
The spiritual home of nineties nostalgia – NICKELODEON – has all but confirmed that they’ll be launching a new channel streaming nothing but 90s Nickelodeon classics, a.k.a. ‘The Golden Era’.
At some point in the not to distant future, there will (almost definitely) be an entire channel dedicated to Hey Arnold!, Rocket Power, Rugrats, CatDog, The Ren & Stimpy Show, and the greatest show of all, The Wild Thornberrys, because if it wasn’t for that then we’d never have this:
Rumblings of Nickelodeon reviving old content have been on the burner for a while now, but an entire channel – that’s some rampant 90s nostalgia the likes of which we haven’t seen since they announced the Goosebumps movie.
Nickelodeon dropped a whopping stinker of a hint two days ago: a YouTube teaser entitled ‘The Splat Is Coming‘ that looks like it’s:
Watch it here / relive your childhood. Not available to 80s + 00s kids on account of wrong decade-induced memory deficiencies:
As far as hints go, there’s also the small matter of The Splat on Instagram. It launched two days ago, already has five posts, and is currently our best source of new information and nineties flava.
I mean, FFS, just in case you didn’t realise which demographic this new channel was aimed at, Nickelodeon went down to an actual 90s festival for gramming purposes:
But today, they’ve moved on from utterly unsubtle hints to basically just going oh fuck it, this show’s a cert, happy reminiscing, 90s kids.
“Ren’s on board… are you?”
Get your tazos / Pokemon cards / light-up sneakers / 90s token of choice ready, pals, because #TheSplatIsComing… sometime. At this point their website remains frustratingly ambiguous.
