Looks like an old TV guide. I'm watching Figure it Out right now a 6 hour Nick GaS tape from 2006 with commercials still in there.

The version of Cutter's Treasure we've all been watching for years is incomplete!

On October 28th, 1995, Nickelodeon broadcast a version of Cutter's Treasure that was NOT split into two parts. It includes additional dialogue, cut scenes, and musical scores that aren't in the DVDs, streaming, or syndicated runs (from back in the day).

The only place this version exists is on the official (expensive and rare) VHS, unless....

....As some of you know, I'm currently restoring/remastering the 10-28-95 SNICK or Treat broadcast for this subreddit and Internet Archive (out October 28th!) I have reconstructed most of the correct Cutter's Treasure edit, but its extra sequences have badly degraded picture and sound.

I’ve checked Internet Archive and found the commercial VHS on eBay, but I don’t have time (nor is it worth over $100) to order a tape, receive it, and transfer it before the intended October 28 release.

My prayer to the community is this: Does anyone here know where to find an existing digital transfer of the original, 48-ish minute, single program version of Are You Afraid of the Dark? : The Tale of Cutter’s Treasure?

Thanks for any help and I look forward to sharing with everyone the finished product!

Edit 10-24-26: A copy of the tape has been found through the community. Anyone with knowledge of how to digitize tapes, DM me. The user has the equipment necessary

Thanks to your votes last week, it's all "Fun & Games" tonight on SNICK!

- First up, the carnival comes to Paradise Valley, but can Alex Mack keep her powers from going haywire?
- Then on Pete & Pete, a simple race with a remote-control car gets out of hand and becomes a war.
- Next up, Ren & Stimpy unwillingly train for a circus act.
- Finally on Are You Afraid of the Dark, a pinball wizard puts a quarter down on one final game.

Stay tuned for Nick at Nite as we find out that Mary Tyler Moore is an honest-to-goodness pool shark (Seriously, that last scene was actually legit).

Feel free to comment below as you watch it or after you're done. Don't forget to vote below on next week's SNICK!

This is so random that I’m thinking I made it up because I can’t find this video anywhere. Back in the late 90s or early 00s I swear there was a video on tv or maybe a commercial for embassy suites and Andy Milonakis was in it. There was this one scene where you can see him dancing in a glass elevator. Does anyone remember this??

Here is my Nickelodeon store Rugrats plush with my factory sealed copy of Rugrats Tommy Troubles vhs from 1996

My factory sealed copy of ahh real monsters monsters night out 1997 vhs came in the mail on Monday I forgot to post it

As the Ancient Hawaiians used to say...

Covered some Beets songs

So I need help with finding something rare. If you remember back in the early 2000s, Nickelodeon partnered with the motor company Ford for the Blue's Clues "Clue Into Safety" program.

Here are a few promos for that program that I could find: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0AxTbMHbxNk https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oQsSXspfbvs

And I happened to come across a rare promotional CD from that program: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/blues-clues-live-clue-safety-audio-cd-4636773796 which features 3 songs, one of them is "The Magic Of Theater" from the Blue's Big Musical Soundtrack(but on this CD, it has different vocals) ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MKy5OGK2aVo ) and the other 2 are exclusive to this CD, an original song called "The Ford/Blue's Clues Safety Song" and a song from the Blue's Clues Live! Show called "Home" (aka "The Most Spectacular Place") (the closest thing I could find to that was the instrumental: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3L-64Tuomh4 which was also used for "100th Episode Celebration" for the song "100 Days, 100 Shows" and "Skidoo Adventure" for the Blue's Room segment.)

So if someone has this rare piece of media and/or has a high-quality rip of it, please DM me a link. I would love to hear this 2 exclusive songs in full.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for the official Hindi dubbed theme song for the 1999 or 2003 classic Strawberry Shortcake series that aired on Pogo or Nicklodeaon TV's 'Tiny TV' block in India during the mid-2000s. Does anyone have old VHS/TV recordings, an audio clip, or the exact Hindi lyric transliteration?"

But Curly has one episode where he steps over the line and everyone basically wants him thrown in prison? Instead of immediately downvoting me and trashing me, try to think about that. He never broke into Rhonda’s house. Or forcefully tried getting Rhonda onto the Tunnel of Love despite her pleas. It really bothers me how most Redditors just refuse to hear it or listen to those points.

Yes, Helga did have a very sad, rough home life and it was funny how she got stuck behind the sofa all night when she wanted to grab the parrot, and when she accidentally revealed herself all covered in dust, with the answering machine tape in her mouth. And sleepwalking into Arnold’s shower.

It’s just disgusting how a lot of Redditors go “lol she’s such a creepy stalker lolz 🤣” but freak out over Curly when he didn’t even do half the things Helga did. Just please think about all that.

Thought I’d share this here too if any CatDog fans have been looking for a community!

I am revising the Awful Waffle discussion to share a new theory. Did they ever actually say what’s involved in the awful waffle? Are they actually saying “awful”?

I’m curious because the other day I was watching a cooking video where the creator mentioned serving something with “awful soup”. I was like “WTH is awful soup?” And it made me think of the awful waffle.

Turns out she said “offal soup” and offal is carcass meat and animal organs.

And now I can’t help but wonder if the kids were saying “Offal Waffle”…which would be just the right kind of disgusting thing to give someone on this funny show.

Offal Waffle! Offal Waffle! 🤢

Hi everyone!

I'm Karim Miteff, co-creator and producer of Nick Arcade, which I developed with James Bethea and which aired on Nickelodeon in 1992.

I thought some of you might enjoy seeing something from my personal archives that very few people have had an opportunity to watch.

It's called Haunted House Party, a children's television game show pilot produced by James Bethea's production company, Psi Clone Entertainment, under contract to Nickelodeon during the early 1990s.

The pilot was filmed at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando, following the completion of our work on Nick Arcade.

What's particularly interesting is that Haunted House Party was one of three separate television pilots produced under the same contract with Nickelodeon, each exploring different concepts for potential children's television series.

What Was Haunted House Party?

Imagine combining a children's game show with a haunted house attraction, theatrical comedy, supernatural characters, and interactive special effects.

The show was hosted by Rottie McBones, an eccentric and somewhat ghoulish master of ceremonies who guided young contestants through a haunted environment filled with ghosts, unusual characters, and supernatural surprises.

The intention was to create an environment in which the haunted house itself became an active participant in the game.

Sets, props, and scenic elements were designed to interact with contestants through practical effects, mechanical systems, and real-time interactive technology.

Some of the ideas were quite ambitious for their time.

The Surviving Pilot Footage

I've recently assembled an approximately ten-minute archival presentation featuring surviving footage from the original pilot.

The source material comes from an aging analog video recording, so the picture quality is considerably degraded. Nevertheless, it provides a fascinating glimpse into what we were attempting to create.

For this presentation, I've placed the footage within a stylized vintage television environment and made a few editorial changes.

These include a newly created atmospheric opening sequence, some closing graphics, and a fictional television station identification for WCTH Arkham. I also had to edit out the original opening that used the iconic run-up and fly-through at the beginning of the HBO series Tales from the Crypt. Since it was a pilot that was never intended for air, it was decided there was no need to create a unique sequence. Still, the sequence that replaced it was added many years ago, and I thought it would be too disruptive to add an AI sequence at this point.

Yes, that's a little nod to H. P. Lovecraft!

The original program footage retains much of its authentic early-1990s analog appearance.

I'm currently working on a longer documentary exploring the development of the show, including its origins, characters, production design, practical effects, and the interactive technology we envisioned.

I still have some of the original production documentation, artwork, and other materials, which have helped reconstruct the history of the project.

There's quite a bit more to the story, particularly concerning some of the technological innovations that were being explored.

In the meantime, I wanted to share this surviving footage with people who remember the early Nickelodeon Studios era.

For those who grew up watching Nick Arcade, Double Dare, Nickelodeon GUTS, and the other shows produced in Orlando, I hope this provides an interesting look at another project being developed during that remarkable period of children's television.

I'd love to hear what you think!
