Green Slime Ice Cream
Yes,
you read the headline correctly, Nickelodeon has now introduced a new edible
version of their iconic green slime. BUT before anyone else throws another
shout-out to the ‘90’s kids in leu of their supposed victory of the green slime
ice-cream let’s take a look back shall we?
Before
the ‘90’s ever came along, and indeed before Nickelodeon came along a little
show called “You Can’t Do That On Television,” had already used up gallons of
green slime so if ANYONE could call the green slime ice cream a win it is defiantly
the ‘80’s kids, the first generation Nickelodeoners! Congratulations guys!
Below
is a collection of the news articles I’ve collected telling us all about this new
edible slime!
Nickelodeon’s Green Slime Is Now Available in
Ice Cream Form
BY MICHELE DEBCZAK MAY 1, 2019
Before DIY slime videos were popular with kids on YouTube, Nickelodeon made green goop cool by pouring it on game show contestants, celebrities, and many other unlucky victims. Now, People reports that the children's entertainment brand has made an edible, slightly-less-messy version of their famous green slime available to buy.
Nickelodeon slime ice cream bars and cups rolled out in Walmart stores (which already sell a ton of other products inspired by that signature green slime) on April 29. The bars combine slime-green lemon-lime and orange ices in Nickelodeon's signature shades. The ice cream cups are made from vanilla ice cream with green frosting swirls. A 12-pack of slime bars retails for $2.97, and a 12-pack of the cups costs $4.97.
The actual green slime made famous on shows
like Double Dare may look gross, but it is edible. Marc Summers revealed that
the standard recipe used “vanilla pudding, applesauce, oatmeal, [and] green
food coloring." Earlier versions included less appetizing ingredients,
like baby shampoo and green latex paint.

Nickelodeon
Slime Ice Cream: Do You 'Double Dare' To Try The Green Treats?
Tuesday, April 30, 2019 10:28PM
Calling all '90s kids and their parents! The
iconic Nickelodeon green slime has inspired a new ice cream and frozen treat.
The Nickelodeon Slime ice cream cups are made
of vanilla low-fat ice cream with green frosting swirls.
There are also green slime inspired popsicles.
The bars are orange and lemon lime flavored.
The tasty treats hit Walmart's freezers on
Monday.

Nickelodeon Slime Now Available In Ice-Cream Form
By Gwen Ihnat | Monday 12:20pmFiled to: ICE
CREAM
Every kid who’s ever wanted to get slimed at
the Nickelodeon’s Kids Choice Awards may now be able to get the 23rd or 24th
best thing: Slime Ice Cream. People reports that starting today, Nickelodeon
Slime ice cream cups and frozen bars will be available exclusively at Walmart.
The cups are made with “low-fat vanilla ice cream and green icing swirls” and
cost about $5 for 12, while the pops are a combination of “creamy lemon lime
and orange ices” and cost about $3 for a dozen.
It’s not a bad marketing ploy, appealing to millennial parents and their young kids in one fell scoop—er, swoop. Previous slime food attempts include “Slime Sauce” ketchup, and Jell-o’s edible slime, which combined the kids’ craft trend with actual food.
People points out that a former Nickelodeon
host once revealed “the sticky slime is actually made up of vanilla pudding,
apple sauce, green food coloring and a little oatmeal.” So these ice cream bars
and pops appear to be mimicking their namesake in name and appearance only.
That probably won’t make much difference at all to the kids (and their parents)
who want to snatch them up for nostalgia’s sake.

Walmart Is Launching Nickelodeon Slime-Inspired Ice Cream
Attention '90s kids!
by MEGAN SCHALTEGGER | APR 26, 2019
Getting "slimed" by Nickelodeon has always been an honor. All our favorite stars have been drenched in the lime green goo—Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, the entire *NSYNC crew. Now you (yes, YOU!) can get in on the tradition because Walmart is launching Nickelodeon Slime Ice Cream.
The collaboration, which will hit freezer
aisles nationwide on Monday, includes low-fat vanilla ice cream cups swirled
with green frosting as well as orange lemon-lime frozen bars. You can pick up
12 cups of the throwback-inspired iced cream for $4.67 or purchase 12 pops for
$2.97. Though we haven't had the pleasure of trying them just yet, I'm pretty
sure they'll taste better than the real thing.
In 2017, Nickelodeon game show host Marc
Summers finally spilled the tea on the network's infamous green slime and how
it's made. While technically it is edible, we're not exactly dying to eat the
vanilla pudding, oatmeal, applesauce, and green food coloring concoction.
If you're looking for something a bit more
authentic, JELL-O's "Monster Slime" has the same green hue as the TV
version, but that tastes great. No weird applesauce/vanilla pudding combo here.
According to the brand, it "stretches if you pull it slowly, but snaps if
you pull it apart fast. It's firm if you squeeze it, but it can also pour and
drip like a liquid!" Ummm, it drips like liquid? That sounds exactly like
Nickelodeon slime to me.

"slimed," or hit with a steady stream of thick, green goo.
Now, Nickelodeon is transforming
its signature green slime into a series of sweet treats that will turn up the
nostalgia for '90s kids everywhere.
Starting Monday, April 29, Walmart

Classic Nick Friday – Standby. . .Lights! Camera! Action!
Leonard Nimoy hosts a show on the Nickelodeon cable
channel that takes a behind-the-scenes look at major movies.
CineMagic
Issue #22 by Starlog Press
Publication Date – 1983
“Standby. . .Lights! Camera! Action!” is a series of 12 one-hour
shows on the Nickelodeon cable channel that takes viewers behind the scenes of
major motion pictures and examines how movies are made. The show should
especially interest CINEMAGIC readers because a variety of special effects are
explored by host Leonard Nimoy and his guests. Past guests have included a
mechanical effects technician, a professional stuntwoman and others whose profession
is some fascinating aspect of film- making. Nimoy invariably has his guests demonstrate
the tricks of their trade.
Recently, CINEMAGIC Publisher Kerry O'Quinn appeared
on "Standby. . .Lights! Camera! Action!" to talk about the
CINEMAGIC/SVA Short Film Search. C1NEMAG1C Editor-in-Chief David Hutchison also
appeared on the show and demonstrated a few simple special effects that
CINEMAG1C readers should be familiar with, among them: miniature rocket
exhaust, miniature explosions, making a raygun from house- hold items, and
creating a cobweb effect. Damon Santostefano, a 1980 CINEMAGIC/SVA winner
appeared on a segment aired in August and talked about his winning film Roublex
O.M.F. and his aspirations of directing feature films. Joey Ahlbum, a 1982
winner of the CINEMAGIC/SVA Short Film Search, has also appeared on the show to
talk about his film, Bandits, and his career in the animation field.
Produced exclusively for Nickelodeon, "The
First Channel for Kids," each hour examines three films; the principals involved
are interviewed; the stunts and special effects are demonstrated; and every
detail, right down to makeup and costumes, is explained in such a way that fantasies
are preserved, curiosity is heightened and awe of the silver screen is intensified.
"Standby. . .Lights! Camera! Action!" fulfills
the need created by the proliferation of films aimed at young audiences. The fantastic qualities of these films has created
a desire in many young people to learn how movies are made. That desire is in
the heart of every C1NEMAGIC reader, and "Standby. . .Lights! Camera! Action!"
provides a rare opportunity to sample the methods behind the magic of
today's blockbusters.
Films featured in the series include: E.T.; Star
Wars; The Empire Strikes Back; Revenge of the Jedi; Annie; Superman III; Black
Stallion II; Wonder Woman; and Raiders of the Lost Ark sequel. CM

Classic Nick Thursday – Bunny in The Suitcase
Those of you who remember watching Pinwheel
will probably remember the charming Hungarian animated children's series “Bunny in The Suitcase”
or “A kockásfülű nyúl,”
which, in English translates to "The Rabbit with Checkered Ears".
This 26-episode
animated classic was first produced in 1978 in the studios of PannóniaFilm and was created
by the acclaimed children's literature writer and graphic artist Veronika Marék
and animator Zsolt Richly.
The series originally ran every Saturday in
the children's programming section of the Hungarian television channel, Magyar
Televízió. Episodes were generally about one minute long and consisted of
simple stories in which the rabbit with checkered ears helped one or more of
the series' other main characters. Other characters included four children, a dark-haired
girl named Kriszta, a red-haired boy named Menyus, a blond toddler boy named Kistöfi
and a big bully named Mozdony.
Since the episodes didn’t have spoken dialogue
there was no need for dubbing and made the storylines very comprehensible and adaptable
in various countries. This helped later with the series being syndicated, first
in the countries around Hungary, and then in nearly ninety other countries
around the world. It also became somewhat sought after in the U.S., where it is
often described as the "bunny in a suitcase" and recalled from its
frequent broadcasts on the Pinwheel cable program which appeared on the
original Nickelodeon channel.
At the time of the original series,
merchandising was an unknown term in Hungary, but with the return of the series
the rabbit can now be found on school accessories, pillows as well as in the
form of plush toys.
The series saw the release of two DVD sets of the series in Hungary, 2002 and 2003, each holding 13 of the 26 episodes.

Classic Nick Thursday – Mr. Wizard’s World
Long before most of
us were born Don Herbert, aka Mr. Wizard, made science a national
pastime with his show “Watch Mr. Wizard” which originally aired on NBC from March
3, 1951–1965. This concept of the show was simple but effective, Mr. Wizard would
demonstrate the science behind ordinary things. The show drew millions of viewers
and was constantly praised with high ratings and awards throughout its history.
By 1956, it had prompted the establishment of more than five thousand Mr.
Wizard science clubs, with an estimated membership greater than one hundred thousand.
Much like it’s modern
counterpart, “Mr. Wizard’s World” which aired on Nickelodeon from October 3,
1983 – August 25, 2000, every Saturday morning a neighbor boy or girl (played
by child actors) would visit Mr. Wizard where he always had a laboratory
experiment going that taught something about science.
1983-1990: Mr. Wizard's World
Fast forward to October
3, 1983 when the, still fledgling, Nickelodeon launched “Mr. Wizard’s World” which
aired three times a week with Don Herbert reprising his role as Mr. Wizard. The
new format included this segment “Ask Mr. Wizard” where Mr. Wizard answered
questions sent in by viewers of all ages. This revival was produced in Canada
(this time in Calgary) and produced 78 episodes from 1983 onwards and continued
in reruns until (around) August 25, 2000.
While airing on
Nickelodeon “Mr. Wizard's World” was the channel's
#3 rated show in 1983 behind Livewire and You Can't Do That on Television. While
it aired on Nickelodeon the series was sponsored by the National Science
Foundation. Some episodes of “Mr. Wizard's World” were reaired in 2005-2006 on The
Science Channel, where it still frequently airs.
Don Herbert died
June 12, 2007, of multiple myeloma, four weeks before what would have been his
90th birthday, at his home in Bell Canyon, California.
Selected episodes
of Mr. Wizard's World are available on DVD from Mr. Wizard Studios Inc. in
10-Single Volumes featuring 4-Episodes on each disk, Gift Box-Sets is also
available. Five seasons of the show, 75 episodes, of the 78 total were released
on Amazon instant streaming.
Thirty-two
episodes of “Watch Mr. Wizard” were selected by Don Herbert and released on
eight DVDs. They can be found at http://www.mrwizardstudios.com

Old School Lane Casual Chats Episode 97: Interview with Peggy Sue Clay
We all have different dates as to when Nickelodeon’s 40th anniversary is. For some it’s December 1st, the day when the Pinwheel Network first aired. For me, personally, I go with 1979, the year the Pinwheel Network was relaunched as “Nickelodeon.” But regardless as to when we celebrate Nickelodeon has turned the big four-0 and I’d like to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Patricia at Old School Lane for interviewing me for her youtube channel. It was truly an honor.

Classic Nick Wednesday – Hocus Focus
For those of us
who loved Pinwheel Hocus Focus was right up our alley.
known for his
puppeteering on Pinwheel Brad Williams stared as Kryspen, an apprentice wizard,
who, along with his shape-shifting pet Oulak, magically traveled through time
to our world from the Middle Ages.
Upon arriving in
the 20th century Kryspen procures a job in a public library where he works in
the film department where he would watch short videos to learn about our world.
His friends
included the absent-minded Professor Rhombus played by Jim Jinkens, who was also
a puppeteer on Pinwheel (he played Minus), and a young woman named Daisy,
actress unknown. It should also be noted that Mr. George James
(Jake from Pinwheel) wrote the theme song for Hocus Focus.
Distributed by
Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment in 1980 Hocus Focus found its home when it
aired on Nickelodeon for only one season, but for those of us who remember it,
it was a wonderful season. 😊

Special Delivery – Micky Dolenz Interview
The
Monkees originally aired from 1966 to 1968 and became a real band when
their hits singles like "Last Train to Clarksville", "Pleasant
Valley Sunday", "Daydream Believer", and "I'm a Believer".
They have sold more than 75 million records worldwide and had international hits
and at their peak in 1967, the band outsold the Beatles and the Rolling
Stones combined.
1986
saw the Monkees’ 20th anniversary and once again they found themselves
in the limelight singing their longtime fan favorites but adding new hits like,
“That Was Then This Is Now,” with Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork. By that time,
Davy Jones had joined them once again as they released “Heart and Soul.”

Special Delivery – Wild Rides
Nickelodeon Takes A Roller-Coaster Ride
Ellensburg Daily Record – March 19, 1982
By Debra Morgenstern Katz
Passive viewing is on the way out at Nickelodeon, which wants kids to get involved with television. Their new program “Wild Rides” (March 28) searches for the greatest roller-coaster ride in America – and you are there.
Matt Dillon hosts the half-hour show, which uses a new camera mount to make viewers feel as if they’re in the seat of the ride; the combination of rock music and the noise of the ride itself combine to provide the closest actual experience.
The pilots for “Kids’ Writes,” another show designed to get children actively involved with TV, make encore appearances on March 24 and 26. A troupe of five performers act out the letters, poems, riddles, dreams, songs and compositions that children have sent in, without changing the words or characters. It’s the closest kids can come to writing their own TV show.

The Peanut Butter Solution
**Please note, in order to watch this film you must register at that site.**
Plot – from Wikipedia
Michael
Baskin is an average 11-year-old boy. His father, Billy Baskin, is a struggling
artist and temporary sole caregiver of the children while his wife attends to
the needs of her recently deceased father in Australia. Upon hearing the news
that an abandoned mansion has recently burned down, Michael and his friend
Connie decide to explore the remains. Outside the mansion, Connie dares Michael
to take a look inside, leading to a frightening encounter with the ghosts of
its homeless inhabitants who had died in the fire. Michael does not know this
yet, but his fearsome run in with the ghosts has given him a mysterious illness
simply known as "The Fright". Michael wakes up the next morning to
find out that "The Fright" has made him lose all of his hair. After a
failed attempt with a wig the ghosts visit Michael in his sleep and give him
the recipe of a magical formula for hair growth, the main ingredient of which
is peanut butter. Michael's first attempt to make the formula is thwarted when
his father and sister think he is making something to ingest and dispose of it.

The

but when I found this I couldn’t let it go to waste. Personally I hadn’t seen
this since I was a little kid and when I found it I couldn’t help but to post
it here. And besides, if I can post my own version of Nick Rocks Videos to Go
then I can post my own version of Special Delivery and it should be alright
too. So enjoy this wonderful Christmas Classic from my childhood.

Special Delivery - A Cricket in Times Square
For
a while now I’ve wanted to do something special for my Yahoo group, A New
Beginning For Classic Nickelodeon, this blog and my Facebook pages and groups –
all of which are dedicated to Classic 80’s Nickelodeon.
At
first I wasn’t sure what to do. I’ve already been posting 80’s videos for
Classic Nick Rocks for a few Saturdays now but I had stopped posting my Classic
Nick Wednesday articles mostly due to the lack of time I had with my writing
course
. My posting has been few and far
between and I am very sorry for that; sometimes I just don’t know what to post
and I get very little feedback so I don’t even know if y’all like any of this.
But still I wanted to do something for y’all to let you know that I’m still
here, I still love you and I miss you and this is what I came up with.

Not
too long ago I looked up the titles to all of the Special Delivery shows that I
had the titles for on YouTube not knowing what I’d find. To my surprise and
delight I was able to find about twenty four shows by title. I also discovered
that a few of them had not aired on Nickelodeon Special Delivery but were, in
fact, ABC Afterschool Specials. I watched the programs and decided that they
were suitable for this blog and I will be posting them for our Special Delivery
and they will be labeled as such.
And
so, with that, the Classic Nickelodeon Fan Blog, in association with A New
Beginning For Classic Nickelodeon Yahoo group, would like to present to you our
version of the Nickelodeon classic Special Delivery! I will try to post these
every second and fourth Sunday of the month with a possible Monday if I don’t
post on Sunday and will be shown in alphabetical order. I hope that you enjoy
this treat and that it brings back as many fond memories for you as it has for
me. J

The Monkees
Wednesday, December 25, 2013
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Even though today is
Christmas and I was going to take the day off, as I was going to suggest all
the Moderators do, I decided that I indeed would be able to find something
Classic Nick to post today so here it is.
Most of you know The Monkees
from watching their TV series in the 1970’s when it aired in reruns. Fast
forward to February 23, 1986 when, a then five-year-old, MTV broadcast A
Monkees TV show marathon called "Pleasant Valley Sunday" for the
group’s 20th anniversary.
The group that was once brushed
off by critics during their heyday as manufactured and lacking talent announced
a "20th Anniversary Tour". Tour
dates grew from smaller to larger venues and became one of the biggest live
acts of 1986 and 1987 with Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork playing North America.
All four Monkees would later reunite as Davy Jones, and eventually Michael
Nesmith, rejoining the group spreading Monkee shines everywhere they went.
With a new surge of Monkeemania
well on its way Nickelodeon began to run their old series daily and a whole new
generation of kids welcomed the Monkees into their hearts as The Monkees’
original albums began selling again and a smaller version of Monkeemania began
to spread.
The 20th
anniversary of the Monkees in 1986 was not only a revival for them but their rediscovered
fame generated the first official Monkees single since 1971. "That Was
Then, This Is Now" was listed as No. 20 position in Billboard Magazine which
featured only Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork. As the due gained new fans Davy
Jones later joined the Monkees for “Heart & Soul” later that year.
As was customary with sitcoms
of it’s time The Monkees also filmed a Christmas special in which they helped a
greedy boy find the true meaning of Christmas. The end of the epiode featured
the quartet gathered around a microphone singing a traditional Spanish
Christmas son called “Ríu Ríu Chíu.”
