2011: The 90s return to Nick
Embracing a bit of its own TV History, Nickelodeon’s sister channel, TeenNick, began rerunning a few of the programs that defined an era for the mothership network 20 years prior. The late-night programming bloc, dubbed “The ’90s Are All That,” featured nostalgia-stoking favorites such as Clarissa Explains It All, Doug, All That, and Kenan & Kel.
