Come back late 1980s Nick, come back! I'd rather watch Special Delivery than whatever visual slurry Nick has scheduled for 1 PM central on any modern Saturday.

Hey, that boy from Big Henry & The Polkadot Kid is Tanner from the Bad News Bears!

@blackphoenix77 Sad, I watched this show all the time.

the monkees used to air on Nickelodeon? Wat? I barely got to watch cable tv in '87 cos it was only in two rooms of the house for some dumb ass reason, so i never saw this.

as a kid i absolutely loved when Nick would put some odd foreign cartoons on...didn't matter if the story itself was boring...just the look and sound alone kept me glued

@CandyBarCrunch Hmmm...another movie with Ned Beatty in the wilderness. Careful Ned, you remember what happened last time? (Deliverance!)

Ned Beatty is good at playing assholes.

Special Delivery was, for many, an introduction or sorts to Japanese animation. Some of the live action films, 'The Electric Grandmother' in particular, were charming for the era.

The Marshmellow Alpha Bits, Taste Like the Lucky Charms cereal.

The one and ONLY thing that sucked about early Nickelodeon were the weekends - It was usually National Geographic or those god-awful "Special Delivery" movies.
