Any more Paramount stuff?

[jamesdelboy]

To tell the truth I hated this testcard but when I seen it the cars were honking there horns insted of that bleeping noise

[steviegTVreturns]

I do remember seeing that version aswell, don't know if it was a weekday/weekend split. I recorded this on a weekend, as Nick used to come on air an hour later (7am) than weekdays.

[jamesdelboy]

Well it was usally at weekends I saw the version I told u about yes Nick used to be 6am-7pm Mon-Fri 7am-7pm Sat and Sun

[Johnsterdude94]

i was only very small when this was on. i only ever saw it once. but i knew i wasnt making this up!

[TheAnnihilator778]

Do you have this, but the other way around? Nick handing over (with that classic cows outro) into Paramount? I have been wanting to see that again for years!

[steviegTVreturns]

I may have it lying about somewhere, although I'm a little busy at the moment, all I can say is keep watching.

[TheAnnihilator778]

Old school nick was miles better than the current offering, they should have a channel dedicated to showing the old classics, would be cool! Anyway did this happen on analogue cable as well as thats how i was watching nick in the 90's :-)

[4QuestionMarkTvStuff]

They do have a channel showing old classics. It called "Nicktoonsters" and it's on Sky channel 630. It shows classics like Rugrats, Hey Arnold, CatDog and many more.

[rogerswift1983]

They still don't have everything on it and it's only nicktoons no old live action nick stuff

[myanthony1]

Does anyone remember The Paramount Channel?

[ROTSSisalive]

that is the first incarnation of the Paramount Comedy series, did you know in April paramount Comedy will be Comedy Central just like america

[eurovisionuk2008]

why was the testcard called chicken tonite

[steviegTVreturns]

At a guess because the testcard was a Chicken and it was only ever broadcast from 4am to 6am, 7am at weekends. AIUI Paramount officially called it Chicken Tonite on their Astra channel list page on their Teletext service.

[Thesurus02]

Paramount comedy is still alright but Nickelodeon has been bad since 2003 IMO. I remember the days of Kenan and Kel, Clarissa Knows it all, Are you afraid of the dark etc. The good old days.

[ROTSSisalive]

nickelodeon has actually gone downhill since 2005 even 2003 was a good year for nickelodeon

[welshbird1998]

its gone bad just like CITV and CBBC have, showing lots of badly produced stuff and employing over-hyped students to do the presenting.

[ROTSSisalive]

Have You got any more Nickelodeon/Paramount Comedy clips?
