Old Nick Shows


I dont know who owns the rights to old nickolodean shows and cartoons. But I would love to see alot of them get dvd releases. Shows such as: Salute Your Shorts, Are You Afraid of The Dark, Hey Dude, and tunes such as: AHHH! Real Monsters, Count Duckula, Doug and ect. ect. I think that Nickolodean would benefit by releasing some of these shows and labeling them Nick Classics. Kind of how Hanna Barberra labels their cartoon box sets as the Hanna Barberra collection. Just curious how many people would be interested in box sets like these. Also feel free to list shows you would consider Nick Classics. I realize this is just wishful thinking and probably hopeful dreaming, but it would be great to see.

Was Danger Mouse ever shown on US television? that was great :-)

I miss Ren & Stimpy, would be great if a boxset came out. Looks very unlikely though

Aside from Ren & Stimpy, it's Nick's live action shows I'd most be interested in, not that I'd buy them all, but it'd be nice to see:
Salute Your Shorts
Are You Afraid of The Dark
Hey Dude
Secret World of Alex Mack
Kenan & Kel
Space Cases
Fifteen
Adventures of Pete & Pete
Roundhouse
Welcome Freshmen
Mystery Files of Shelby Woo
You Cant Do That On Television
My Brother and Me

I consider them all classics, I'd definitely buy a few of those.

Yes John, Dangermouse was aired here in the States in the 80s (on Nickelodeon as well). No sign of DVDs here for that series. Region 2 has a few "best-of" disks available, but AFAIK they are edited (titles and recaps removed from the older 5 minute episodes).

As I have stated a few times on this forum, I'll buy DVDs of most of the live-action UK imports that Nickelodeon aired. I have already imported some the original Tomorrow People DVDs and will probably pick up Children of the Stones from a UK online store in the near future. Still no sign of Into the Labyrinth anywhere yet. I'd prefer to buy these from a US company though (hint hint).
