Title: List of programs broadcast by Nickelodeon Content: Nickelodeon is an American television network that broadcasts children's programs. It began on December 1, 1977 using the name Pinwheel. The name was changed to Nickelodeon on April 1, 1979. The first program broadcast on Nickelodeon was Pinwheel. It was a preschool series created by Dr. Vivian Horner. Horner also created the idea for the channel itself. When it began, Nickelodeon was commercial-free. It mainly showed educational programs. By 1984, the channel began using commercials . They also started airing programs that were more for entertainment than education. In January 1988, the network began a block for preschoolers. It was called Nick Jr.. The block aired Pinwheel and other educational series. Around the same time, Nickelodeon began making its own animated programs. These were first aired in 1991 under the "Nicktoons" branding. ==Current programming== ===Original programming=== ====Animated ("Nicktoons")====  ===Former acquired programming=== ====Former acquired animated series==== *6teen (2005–06) *Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1999–2000) *The Adventures of The Little Prince (1985–89) *The Adventures of Tintin (1994–2023) *Alvin and the Chipmunks (1995–97) *Angela Anaconda (2004) *Animaniacs (2001–03) *Bananaman (1985–87) *Beetlejuice (1994–98) *Belle and Sebastian (1984–89) *Blaster's Universe (2000) *The Brady Kids (1998) *The Brothers Flub (1999–2000) *Bullwinkle's Moose-o-Rama (1992–96) *Butt-Ugly Martians (2001–03) *Count Duckula (1988–93) *Danger Mouse (1984–88; 1991–94) *Dennis the Menace (1991–2003) *Digimon Fusion (2013) *Doctor Snuggles (1988–90) *Garfield and Friends (1997–2000) *Gumby (1994–96) *Heathcliff (1988–93) *Inspector Gadget (1987–92; 1996–2000) *Kappa Mikey (2006–07) *Kuu Kuu Harajuku (2016–17) *Lego City Adventures (2019–20) *Lego Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar (2019–20) *Looney Tunes (1988–99) *Martin Mystery (2005) *Men in Black: The Series (2002–03) *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir (2015–16) *Jim Henson's Muppet Babies (1992–99) *My Dad the Rock Star (2005) *Mysticons (2017–18) *Nickelodeon's Most Wanted: Yogi Bear (1990–93) *The Mysterious Cities of Gold (1986–90) *Oggy and the Cockroaches (2015) *Ollie's Pack (2020–21) *Pelswick (2000–02) *Pinky and the Brain (2000–03) *Rabbids Invasion (2013–17) *Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitty (2019) *Regal Academy (2016–18) *Rocket Monkeys (2013) *Shuriken School (2006) *Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea (1986–91) *Speed Racer X (2002–03) *Star Trek: The Animated Series (1985–90) *Stickin' Around (2000) *Super Duper Sumos (2002–03) *Tiny Toon Adventures (1995–99; 2002–03) *Underdog (1992–94) *Wayside (2007–08) *Yakkity Yak (2003–04) *You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown (1998–2000) ====Former acquired live-action comedy series==== *America's Funniest Home Videos (2007) *Batman (2002) *The Brady Bunch (1998–2001) *Camp Runamuck (1990) Scroll to the right. *Dennis the Menace (1985–94) *The Donna Reed Show (1986) *Fred: The Show (2012) *Hangin' In (1985) *Hunter Street (2017–21) *Mister Ed (1986) *The Monkees (1986–88) *Mork & Mindy (1991) *My Three Sons (1986) *The Patty Duke Show (1989–90) *Rank the Prank (2016) *Sabrina the Teenage Witch (2003–07) *So Little Time (2015) *The Wonder Years (1997–99) ====Former acquired action series==== *American Ninja Warrior (2019) *Power Rangers Samurai (2011–12) *Power Rangers Megaforce (2013–14) *Power Rangers Dino Charge (2015–16) *Power Rangers Ninja Steel (2017–18) *Power Rangers Beast Morphers (2019–2020) *Power Rangers Dino Fury (2021) ====Former acquired drama series==== *The Adventures of Black Beauty (1982–87) *Adventures in Rainbow Country (1981–83) *Are You Afraid of the Dark?
