  • MTM was sooo HOT back then!

  • I used to love these!

  • I stopped watching around 1994, after they ditched the patty duke show, THEN in 95 they dumped Donna Reed. I knew it was going straight the hell after that.

  • I now know why every time I hear the song 'Tom's Diner' by Suzanne Vega I think of Bewitched. I must have seen that promo when I was little and subconsciously remembered it.

  • When I was little, I'd wake up at like 4 a.m. and watch TV in the living room. I'd always turn it to Nick at Nite, and I remember Dobie Gillis, Patty Duke, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and others being on. Then Nick Jr. would start with Mr. Wizard's World. Love those memories.

  • @tuckey7 Whoa, you just described my childhood memories exactly...

  • @lwallace3 aw, yay! i'm glad we share the same memories :).

  • nite*

  • Over 20,000 hits here, that should tell them something, But lets face it, they will never go back to the old nick at nick, or the beginning days of tvland. Its gone forever, be happy there are kind people on you tube and memories.

  • and im watching this in 2011.....

  • WHAT HAPPEND???

  • Cable TV has just gotten lazy! There used to be different shows on all the time....now every station just throws 4 hrs of the same show at a time and calls that programming....hello law and order.

  • Fuck all the producers these days. Messing everything on TV up...

  • I remember that Dream of Jeanie music video commercial! I'm 20

  • @dsNightly Ditto.

  • TV Execs, here's what you do:

    1) Take Nick@Nite's current lineup (George Lopez, Everybody Hates Chris, etc), and move them to TV Land.

    2) Bring back all of these classics to Nick@Nite

    3) Bring back these promos.

  • I remember watching Nick at nite when i was a kid i wish we had it now

  • TV sucks these days!! Even SOME shows that are actually good, are not even played in correct order.

  • I've still got my Block Party Summer (in VertiVision!) schedule/brochure and magnet to stick on the fridge. Also won the Mary Merit Badge. It's still here, too. Nick at Nite was my friend. Man, I was one lonely 15 year old. LOL

  • Just swell. Does anyone remember seeing the original "Camp Nickelodeon" sign-on for Nick-at-Nite? I think (haven't seen this in-what-25 years?) it featured Dennis-the-Menace and Donna Reedin a bus while reveille played on a trumpet... would love to see this again on YouTube. Any help would make my day:)

  • @thisjustinthisjustin LOL that is so crazy! Not only do I know exactly what you are talking about, I was searching youtube for it. Wish I could help you out but I've only seen it once. So if its any consolation to you, you;re not crazy. Yes it did exist :)

  • IM ABOUT TO CRY. THIS WAS MY CHILDHOOD

  • "...she folds her arms

    and blinks her eyes

    it's kind of like Bewitched"

    Classic ... I used to watch as much for the great promos as for the shows themselves. Perfect balance of irreverence and reverence. Loved Dixie the Nick and Nite Pixie and the "Tell Me, Mama" Patty Duke promo. The promos still hold up as well as the shows do.

    I understand why they've updated their lineup to more recent shows for demographics ... but I never understood why N@N didn't do a separate "Classic N@N" channel.

  • It's so funny. Seemingly everybody wants the N@N we had 20 years ago or TVLand we had 15 years ago yet no channel seems to understand.  We have 200 channels with nothing on any of them. What a joke television has become. I only keep it for sports.

  • i agree with everyone Nick At Night is not the same as it use to be.....i have been a fan all the way back since it first came out....Dennis the Mennace, Bewitched, etc.....i miss the old nick at night........

    who do we write to try to get it back? surely nobody likes what they do now....reality shows, and rossanne for 11 hours? gimme a freakin break!

  • Hey Nick at Nite! We don't want George Lopez, The Nanny, Malcolm or any of that modern GARBAGE!!!

    Give us back I Love Lucy, Dobie Gillis, The Monkees, Donna Reed, Patty Duke, Dick Van Dyke and the Addams Family!! Even the Nick at Nite commercials used to be good!

    Even TV Land has gone down the drain. What happened???

  • Hey Nick at Nite! We don't want George Lopez, The Nanny, Malcolm or any of that modern GARBAGE!!!

    Give us back I Love Lucy, Dobie Gillis, The Monkees, Donna Reed, Patty Duke, Dick Van Dyke and the Addams Family!!

  • Who really cares anymore. They have butchered the shows so bad over the years its not that big of a deal they dont show them anymore. They take 3-5 minutes out of 22minute episodes. Bewitched is back on and they take out whole scenes plus the end credits. DVDS are the way to go for these shows.

  • While it is indeed sad to see how much Nick at Nite and TV Land has fallen, the good news is that the evolving technology (DVD, internet, etc) has made it possible to still watch these classic tv shows. I Dream of Jeannie? Bewitched? The Dick Van Dyke Show? The Andy Griffith Show? I Love Lucy? The Munsters? No longer seen on Nick or TV Land. BUT thanks to DVD, Netflix streaming, and internet sites like youtube, I can see them anytime I want.

  • I want to see the shows of YESTERYEAR NOT YESTERDAY! 90% of what they're showing are on DVD and some still play on other networks. I just want a network of the classic shows, a network where you can escape from the reality TV of it all and go back to a time where shows had simple story line, no sex, no drugs, nor violence, and the problem was sovled in 30 minutes.

  • Looking at that bumper that says "Very Very" nowadays...let's just say, after 2001...no...no way in the world would that be "psychedelic".

  • ha ha lucy behind the wheel =]

  • Disney Channel,Nick at Nite,Tv land ... they all changed so much from the way they used to be.I hate reality shows!! It has killed television!!!

  • N@N an TV land suck these days they shoud rot in jhell for putting crap like reality shows and that dumb dentist show on the air.

  • Comment removed

  • Nick at nite should definetly bring these classics back because as far as i know tv land is not good anymore, they should just call it tv land with some modern original shows in the 21st century channel. I mean nick at night has plenty of airing time, but instead waste it having marathons of just the shows released this decade (better yet last) like everybody hates chris which i really hate actually.

  • Everybody hates Everbody Hates Chris. Bring back the old Nick at Nite.

  • I didn't "get" this at the time, but the second promo is actually sort of a "MST3k" parody/homage. Neato!

  • Correction...Bill St. JAMES.

  • The overall announcer for "Nick At Nite" was Bill St. John.

  • I miss this Nick at Nite so much! It used to be my favorite channel. Now I can't even remember the last time I watched it. Sadly TV Land has gone the same way. Neither are worth watching anymore. Thanks for these great promos! Brings back a lot of happy memories.

  • I used to think when the announcer said "Be-Wednesdays", that was a mistake.

  • Can't Nick-at-Nite go back to this line up? I loved this and watched EVERY night. Including Block Party Summer!

  • Elliottlover88, that goes for every 'other' channel that we watched in the 1980s and 1990s. Television went downhill because of the 'Reality TV' craze. I barely watch it anymore, because it no longer caters to my audience and generation.

  • the thing is holloywood doesn't know it but there slowly dying. There are no longer any more original ideas and when that happens it has to re-invent itself. I think we will see at least three maybe even two more years of reality TV before something new hits big

  • OMG I remember that I deam of Jeannie Promo with that da da da da da da da da song. lol.. I miss the older ones from like 87 and 88 to 90 those are my era... And I am only 29 years old, I loved watching those when I was a kid.

  • When I first got cable in my area in MD I would watch Nickelodeon and then it would switch to Nick at Nite i remember the old line up some:

    Make room for Daddy 8:00

    Donna Reed came on at 9:00 and I think Mr. Ed came on at 8:30 those were good times. When Cartoon network first aired I started watching that then that dropped off. I don't even watch TV as much anymore only the movie channel's

  • yeah I know what you mean even nothing is the same anymore, TV really sucks now. at first cartoon network was good cause they were playing good cartoons now they are playing crap.

  • Aw, I miss Very Very Sundays and Nick at Nite's Christmas Party. Nick at Nite was so much more fun and imaginative in the 90s. I used to watch with my mom every night as a kid.

  • This was back when Nick At Nite was Nick AT Nite. I loved it back then.

  • I didn't know Three's Company aired on NaN back then. I thought it was just something they picked up for the 2000s.

  • i agree... i loved my dick van dyke.... the lucy show too

  • why....! why...! why can't they bring these back i really loved this channle all until the slime logo and crappy show.

  • I agree, the shows on nick At nite were awesome, Now they have crappy shows on it, shows no one even watched when they were on regular tv. come on now, bring back the classics. we should boycot.lol.

  • Holy crap! I use to know all the words to that "Tom's Diner" parody! XD

    Thank you so much for posting this...Nick at Nite was such a huge part of my life back in the day. Block Party Summer was the best!

    Overload...nostalgia overload!

  • I AGREE!!! I miss those days!

  • Nick at Nite is nothing more than a lone individual trying to find out where he is at in the world. Until about 10 years ago, they had a great variety of shows that was suitable for all ages.

    Now, they just air the same shows over and over, with no fancy promos or commercials to go with them.

    A shame.

  • Holy hell, they had Alfred Hitchcock.

  • I Lol'd at the Tom's Diner parody.

  • Wow what happened? I loved watching I Love lucy on nick@nite when I was little. Now all they show is the George Lopez and Family Matters. And get this next month Malcom in the Middle. In the fall Everybody Hates Chris. Wow! don't watch it and they'll take it off immediately like they did A Different World. But I would take that over any of the BS they show now.

  • I loved Block Party Summer

  • i remember when they showed the brady bunch and gilligan's island :(

  • Aww, Thanks so much for posting these, They're such great quality - It reminds me of the times when I would watch Nick at Nite when I was a very small child, I'm glad to have been raised by such comedic gold and I know the difference between real comedy and TV and the crap that's out today. Thanks for helping us all reconnect with our original N@N. :)

  • block party summer kicked butt. "i dream of jeanie" thursdays defined my childhood when school was out. this was in the mid 90s. gah i'm old. RIP nick at nite...

  • The beat way to describe what Today's Television programming has become is to Quote the the Theme from HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS -

    The three things that best describe you are and I quote:

    STINK!

    STANK!!

    STUNK!!!

  • Can any1 explain to me why the network decided to change its format? This is when Nick At NIte was populare. I loved watching these old shows. Some of them were not re-runs to me. I always looked forward to Nick At Nite. Those were the days!!

  • i think they just put there focus into tv land and make nick at nite lovers like us have to watch 9 hours of lopez and 20 of fresh prince and make us cry lol

  • aww thank you nick at nite

  • I watch this and I certainly feel a wave of nostalgia. It hurts to know that most of these shows don't see any airtime anymore, and no one bothers to put up these simple but effective promos.

    I'm not talking about the eras these shows were first broadcast, but the era of when Nick at Nite used to be good about putting these classic shows back on for all audiences to see. They even had retromercials, some of them black-and-white.

    TV has certainly gone downhill...

  • Every channel sucks now, except for about four of them. I started watching Nick-At-Nite in October 1987 when they aired almost all black and white shows, classic television at it's best.

  • The good old days of tv. I'm only 16 years old, but I remember when Nick @ Nite used to play good shows and promos. Same with the Nickelodeon back then.

  • Gah!!! I missed Summer Block Party from Nick At Nite!!!!

  • What the heck happened to this channel? even the Children's programs had high quality....

  • i have will millers nick at nite psychology book!

  • This takes me back! WHY can't Nike at Nite or anything else show stuff like this, I swear we are getting more and more premitive and actually reverting BACKWARD! EVERYTHING is going out of existence but reality shows, cell phones and bottled waters.

  • I know its been said many times ... But God I miss this stuff ....

  • im so sad and suicidal watching my childhood memories...man i wihs i could back...=(

  • BRING BACK THE CLASSICS!!!!

  • i remember i used to be the only teen that watched Nick at Nite. i stopped watching when i was around 17, because it started to get sucky...

  • Thanks for posting this. Yes TV Land and Nick at Nite should both bring back the classics!!! George Lopez and Third Rock from the Sun are not classics!!!!

  • As funny as 3rd rock is, I agree it's not a classic.

  • thanks tabstarkin love the vids do you have more carol burnett family skits to upload ?

  • I feel so sad watching these, remembering how great Nick at Nite, and even TV Land, *USED* to be. Hello, execs? This is your new target demographic speaking (I'm 21). BRING BACK THE *REAL* CLASSICS!!

  • @arfies

    So true. TV Land has lost it's way and I don't consider The Nanny classic TV.

  • Thank you for the memories of when Nick at Nite and TVLand were great. I don't even watch these channels anymore due to the change in programming. I wish they would bring back all of the CLASSIC shows.

  • The good old days...no remote and two channels to choose from.. This brings back a lot of memories, thanks for posting!

  • ah--when Nick at Night was good--

    and now TV Land SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
