SNICK
From Nickelodeon
SNICK (short for Saturday Night Nickelodeon) was a two-hour programming block on the American cable television network Nickelodeon, geared toward tween audiences, that ran from 1992 until the mid-2000s, when it was replaced by TEENick. It aired from 8 to 10 p.m. Eastern time Saturdays. The block debuted August 15, 1992, with the shows Clarissa Explains It All, Roundhouse, The Ren & Stimpy Show and Are You Afraid of the Dark? [1] Ads and bumpers for SNICK featured the programming block's "mascot," a big orange couch, in the middle of an empty nighttime street. The big orange couch wasn't the mascot for SNICK's entirety. In June 1999, the big orange couch was given away in a sweepstake. The couch was stuffed with thousands of dollars for the sweepstake.
