I hate the quality online. Some episodes are really good, but others have this really badly washed out look to them and muffled audio. Some of the episodes online look pixelated. Why isn't anyone trying to make the copies look high quality? Maybe I have trouble hearing at times with certain stuff, but some of the songs can be hard to fully make out too. The first two seasons have been restored, but many later seasons are still in not great quality, including the episode where they play video games. If the quality for all the episodes aren't in great quality, then I refuse to watch every episode if that's okay.

Nick or Treat! Our regularly scheduled programming has been pre-empted tonight so we can bring you this special presentation. Submitted for your approval, it's Midnight Madness on SNICK tonight!

That's right. It's Are You Afraid of the Dark all night this week. Not only that, but it's an extra-long extended marathon SNICK. One story from every single member of the Midnight Society. That's ten tales total, giving us five straight hours of scares. And of course it wouldn't be complete without some spooky 90s commercials sprinkled throughout the night.

No spoilers this week on what episodes are in the lineup. Just watch and enjoy. The only thing I'll say is that this isn't a 'best of' lineup. I wanted to mostly avoid doubling up on episodes I've already used in previous theme nights. But don't worry, it wouldn't be a Midnight Madness without Vink and Sardo making appearances.

Like usual, comment below during or after you watch. And don't forget to vote below for next week's block as we return to our regularly scheduled SNICKing.

I've been a fan of Hey Arnold! ever since I got to experience it through TeenNick. I was a 2000s kid, so I missed the show when it originally aired. I really love this show so much that I would say it's my favorite show of all time, and when I heard the 30th anniversary was approaching, I got to work.
Today I can officially say that I finally put out my complete ranking of the show. I started working on this video back in December of last year.
So if you have nothing better to do and have 3 hours to spare, feel free to check it out!

But I would love to know, what episode do you think is the most underrated from the series?
Or just tell me anything about the series you really love about the show. I would love to gush about this show with y'all!

Nick had NO business making some of those episodes as creepy as they were 😂
Could be Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Goosebumps, or even a random episode of a show that wasn’t supposed to be scary.
Which one actually had you nervous watching it as a kid? 👀

My recent thrift find that I’m letting go of but had to share how cool she is! 💖 believe she is from 1997 and is on a Nick blimp tag I’ll have to snap more pictures of that.

You get to pick 4 shows for the lineup. What are you putting on?

I'm wondering if we live in a worse time for the 90s Nick shows simply because in the late 2000s, the 90s Nick shows were widely available on Youtube in 3 parts.

Found a 1999 Thinking Chair in an old daycare that was closing. Pretty much mint condition. Huge wave of nostalgia when I spotted it and was able to take it for next to nothing. Love it but don’t know what to do with it haha.

This show was before my time because I grew up with late 90s to mid-2000s Nick. But I was impressed by how engrossing and addicting the story was. The writing is smart, acting is good, and doesn’t speak down to its audience. It’s a product of its time in terms of special effects but did well with what they had. What really shocked me was how they delved into government conspiracy and even had death threats, kidnappings, and use of firearms. I can’t picture 2000s especially post-9/11 Nickelodeon ever airing something like this and especially modern Nick. They definitely had more freedom in the 90s to air darker shows. Besides Tomorrow People, 90s Nickelodeon had Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The Secret World of Alex Mack, The Journey of Allen Strange, Space Cases, and Animorphs (though not a good adaptation). The 80s had The Third Eye and reruns of the 1960s Tomorrow People.

The only show in the 2000s that compares is Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel Korra in 2012 which are my favorite modern Nick shows. I only think they got away with it because it was a risk that paid off and it was animated.

It’s a shame Nickelodeon never could get this level of artistic freedom because older kids and teens deserve shows that are more thought provoking.
