It wasn't 'huge' in the UK. They showed it one summer on Nickelodeon! Wow!

er no they showed it for ages, and it is good you idiot

[–] chris_myers90 18 years ago

No half-wit, they showed it one summer and then repeated it since. What I am trying to get at, if you engage you brain sweetums is that it aired in Nickelodeon which kind of defeats any notion of it being 'huge in the UK'. Moron.

It wasnt huge in the UK but it was huge on nick. I remeber there was like a head to head thingy between programmes like Sabrina, Kenan & kel, Hey arnold e.t.c. and tucker won it. Me and my mates still watch re-runs on nick and think there still great

Head to heads were always faked. I discovered this when once Sky forgot to cover up the programme synopsis on Skyguide, and actually showed the "winning" programme and episode details. The next day, it was back to normal (and yes, every episode meant to be shown was indeed shown.

yeah the head to head and create your own's are fake if you have sky the interactive tv guide showed that on nickelodeon plus 1 that had the show that would win it already scheduled throughout the day. Plus one of my friends did some work experience on a TV station and the programmes have to be ready to air like a hour early or something so they can't really have it ready in the ad breaks they usually give just so they can check everything I suppose.

I remember it being on for ages, those same 12/13 episodes for months. It had to be on for a few months and there was a point where I could repeat the majority of lines on certain episodes
