Nickelodeon Rewind
Nickelodeon Rewind is a spin-off brand of Nickelodeon consisting of DVDs, digital downloads, television blocks, T-shirts, and other merchandise having to do with programs formerly aired on the channel. Beginning in June 2010, Nickelodeon Rewind was featured as a part of Comcast On Demand programming, with a lineup that features Nicktoons that aired in the 1990s and 2000s. Select episodes of "The Angry Beavers", "Hey Arnold!", "Rugrats", "The Fairly OddParents" and "Doug", are available. History. Nickelodeon Rewind was originally a collection of DVDs and merchandise that featured "classic" Nickelodeon television shows such as "Clarissa Explains It  All", "The Adventures of Pete and Pete", and "You Can't Do That on Television". After being launched in 2005, Nick Rewind entered the realm of television airings with the "Nick Rewind" programming block featured on Nickelodeon during Spring 2006. Nick Rewind was essentially put on hold, with the exception of some Amazon DVD releases, until June 2010 when a Nickelodeon Rewind feature appeared on Comcast through On Demand, featuring episodes of "The Angry Beavers", "Hey Arnold!", "Doug", "The Ren and Stimpy Show", and "Rugrats". In the UK, Nicktoons was, as of July 2011, airing "The Amanda Show" as part  of the Nicktoons Rewind feature. In 2011, Nickelodeon Rewind went mainstream with the release of DVDs through Shout! Factory and The '90s Are All That (now NickRewind) block of TeenNick. Nickelodeon Rewind began as a collection of DVDs of older Nickelodeon television shows. The first two DVDs in this collection were released on May 17, 2005: "Clarissa Explains It All" and "The Adventures of Pete and Pete". These DVDs sold so well that Nickelodeon then released Season 2 of "Pete and Pete" in November 2005. The third season of Pete and Pete, as well as Volume One of "You Ca n't Do That on Television", were set for release in Spring 2006, but after several postponements, the releases never occurred and are still seen as being "on hiatus." Many suspect this to be due to Nickelodeon's parent company, Viacom, splitting with CBS, causing the resignation of Nickelodeon's president, Herb Scannell. Other reports have suggested that the clearances for "You Can't Do That on Television" were too complicated for a DVD release, since it not only involves the numerous cast members who appeared on the show, but also involves the show's owner, CJOH-TV in Ottawa, Ontario  and, in turn, that station's current owner, the CTV Network division of CTVglobemedia. In 2008, Nickelodeon struck a deal with Amazon.com to sell exclusive DVD sets which included various shows under the Nickelodeon name, including "Doug", "Rugrats", "Rocko's Modern Life", and "Hey Arnold!". These DVDs were widely criticized for being nothing more than DVD-R's that were burned to order, leading to a prohibitive cost, pricing many out of purchasing them. However, the prices for many of these DVDs were eventually reduced in 2014. In 2011, Nickelodeon reached a deal with Shout! Factory to release digitally remastered  versions of classic Nickelodeon shows on traditional DVD, including Nickelodeon sitcoms and animated series. These shows have included "Hey Dude", "Rocko's Modern Life", "The Angry Beavers", "CatDog", "Hey Arnold!", "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters", "The Wild Thornberrys" and "Danny Phantom" as of now. Merchandise. Nickelodeon Rewind is also a brand of merchandise and clothing relating to older Nickelodeon shows, and was sold exclusively at Hot Topic stores. This collection included items from such shows as "Salute Your Shorts", "Double Dare", "Hey Dude", "Rocko's Modern Life", "Hey Arnold!", "Rugrats", "The Fairly OddParents", "SpongeBob SquarePants", "The Adventures of Pete and Pete", "Clarissa  Explains It All", "Invader Zim", and "You Can't Do That on Television". They're still being sold as of 2010. Through Zazzle, Nickelodeon launched a webstore in 2011 that sells classic Nickelodeon merchandise, accessible through the Nickelodeon website. 2006 television block.
