After the 1990 cancellation of You Can't Do That on Television and the 1994 cancellation of Roundhouse, Nickelodeon needed another sketch comedy series to balance out their SNICK lineup. They hired Brian Robbins, Mike Tollin, and Dan Schneider and a bunch of people from Better Off Dead and [H]ead of the Class to create such a show. They hired seven teenagers with enormous talent and called the show All That. Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell proved so popular that they spun off into their own show. Josh Server, to this very day, holds the record for staying on this show the longest. He was ... the only original cast member to stay on for all six seasons of the show's original run.

Nickelodeon began producing its own cartoons, or "Nicktoons", on August 11, 1991, beginning with Doug, Rugrats, and The Ren and Stimpy Show. These three shows were generally popular, but The Ren and Stimpy Show was canceled in 1996 after creator John Kricfalusi was dismissed[1] and the show later moved to MTV. Later, shows like Rocko's Modern Life (1993), Aaahh!!! Real Monsters (1994), Hey Arnold! (1996), The Angry Beavers (1997), and SpongeBob SquarePants (1999) were created and ended up being extremely popular. On May 1, 1999, Nickelodeon introduced their most popular original show to date, SpongeBob SquarePants.

The main problem with "Nickelodeon" is that the depth and breathe of early film history is too complicated for a small comedic treatment. As a film historian Bogdanovich was dealing with a subject near and dear to his heart. He appears to have borrowed heavily from Fellini's "Variety Lights" and "White Sheik" to construct his company of players but could not integrate the intimate and light-hearted flavor of those films with the huge historical subject he was documenting. "Nickelodeon" is still entertaining and informative but the whole is less that the sum of its parts.
