This has potential to a be..


a CLASSIC Nick show. Remember the good old days when television was at it's peak with shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Hey Arnold!, Rocket Power, etc. Nick lost its roots sometime ago, but this show looks like it has some serious potential to be a classic. It's just something about the story line and the characters that makes you think of old classic Nickelodeon.

Oh, I agree.

Looking at the promos, this show seems better than the stuff on Disney channel. This show, iCarly, and True Jackson seem to be Nick following back it's roots to it's golden age (1991-2002).

I miss all those old shows and agree that "the troop" could be great!

But I think you putting rocket power in there messed with ur credibility slightly. Hey Arnold I admit was a awesome show but I couldn't include it in the Nick classics.

However we can't never forget....
Are u afriad of the dark? (which u already said)
Salute ur shorts
What wud you do
Wild and crazy Kids
Clarissa explains it all
The secret world of alex mac

Of the live action shows.

I like this show, but I wish they'd have really great costumed creatures instead of not so good CGI sometimes, don't get me wrong it's good for a TV show, but you never even get to see the monsters for that long

I looked at the trailer for season 2, and it looks like this show has even more potential. Maybe now Nick will actually air it again and treat it better.
