This article is about the programming blocks aired on Nickelodeon.
Friday Night Nicktoons
- Main article: Friday Night Nicktoons
Friday Night Nicktoons (also known as Prime Time Nicktoons) was a programming block that aired from July 12, 2002 to December 17, 2004; its original time slot was 8-10 p.m. Eastern time, expanded to start at 7 p.m. toward the end of its run. The block was made to compete with Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays (later Cartoon Network's Fridays) block.
When Friday Night Nicktoons (FNN, for short) first aired on July 12, 2002, it took place in a CGI-animated building loosely based on the Nicktoons Animation Studio in Hollywood. The branding featured characters from different series interacting with each other in the studio. Inside the building included sets for different Nicktoons, along with a giant sentient binocular, the block's logo, and mechanical arms.
Characters from all the Nicktoons created up to the block's creation could be spotted in the intro sequence and the bumpers, but only the following shows were ever actually aired as part of the block:
- The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius (2002-04)
- ChalkZone (2002; 2003-04)
- The Fairly OddParents (2002-04)
- My Life as a Teenage Robot (2003-04)
- SpongeBob SquarePants (2002-03)
- Oh Yeah! Cartoons (2002-03)
- Invader Zim (2002)
Friday Night Slimetime
SNICK
- Main article: SNICK
SNICK (short for Saturday Night Nickelodeon) was a two-hour programming block geared toward tween audiences that ran from 1992 until 2005, when it was replaced by TEENick.
It debuted August 15, 1992 with the shows Clarissa Explains It All, Roundhouse, The Ren & Stimpy Show and Are You Afraid of the Dark? Ads and bumpers for SNICK featured the programming block's mascot, a big orange couch, in the middle of an empty nighttime street.
TEENick

TEENick was formerly on every night, but became the TEENick's Spin the Bottle programming block, in which each evening's celebrity was required to spin a bottle to choose a dare. The show eventually dropped "Spin the Bottle" from its name (but not the bottle itself). TEENick now airs both Sunday and Saturday nights, replacing SNICK.
NickRewind
- Main article: NickRewind
Nickelodeon Rewind was an hour long block on Nickelodeon that aired from 1:00 - 2:00 pm EDT every Sunday in the spring of 2006. It featured such shows as The Wild Thornberrys, The Angry Beavers, Rocko's Modern Life, Rocket Power, and The Ren & Stimpy Show. It also featured old Nickelodeon bumpers and station ads. Nickelodeon let viewers vote on their website for the shows they most wanted to see each Sunday. Some of these shows were also available on their online video service, TurboNick.
On March 18, 2019, the sister channel TeenNick's NickSplat rebranded to "NickRewind", indirectly reviving the brand. Also, it is targeting its focus on airing more Nickelodeon series outside the 90's, including more 80's and 00's programming.
