In its early years Nick showed its programs simultaneously on both coasts; now programs are generally seen in this manner in New York and Chicago on one feed and in Denver and Los Angeles on another. CBS, on the other hand, would begin its primetime lineup simultaneously in NY and Chicago and one hour later in Denver (for example, I saw a Charlie & Company promo that read "8/7 Central & Mountain;" when it's 7 in Central, it's 6 in Mountain).

Lucky for us, Cablevision was beginning to get offered to our area in 90s, so we didn't need to venture too far to watch it. Nostalgia at its best!

that is actually the sound of the videotape/satellite equipment used to broadcast television footage to your home. essentially, most television stations (with the exception of live programming) run on a series of videotapes, each carrying a set of commercials, promos, or an episode of a program. I always heard the sounds too in the late 80s and into the early 90s when watching TV. Essentially, those tones indicated to the system what tape to play next....

stratego is a board game featuring a 10 × 10 square board and two players with 40 pieces each. Pieces represent individual officers and soldiers in an army. The objective of the game is to either find and capture the opponent's Flag, or capture so many of the opponent's pieces that he/she cannot make any further moves. Players cannot see the ranks of each other's pieces, so disinformation and discovery are important elements of the game.

Third Eye used to scare be bejeeeeezus outta me... I loved it!
What was always with that dail tone effect, I remember that now, and thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I miss Muppet magazine! I was crazy about it. I wish I'd saved all my issues. Unfortunately I was stupid and only saved two, which are both missing pages.
Yeah! I loved watching all of those shows!
I remember the Honey Smacks ad! The teacher (Beverly Archer) played "Gunny" Bricker on Major Dad!
@Marbles471 I was 13 in 1983...this is indeed very nostalgic for me! You do have good insight into early 1980's TV. Not to worry...this is why YT was invented!
Hi I got this on vhs I guessing it one that had been going around for years nows in the tape trading world. Even down to the channel change Before the Simon game . I love watching old shows with the commercials for that time period .

Do I remember Ivan Tellalie, Dr. Joyce Sisters, Uncle Hogram, Mr. Fuddle, and all sorts of weird comedy clips from around the world? Do I remember seeing the video for Fish Heads and the standup act of an unknown named Dana Carney? It's a possibility.
The other movie review show Nick had was called "Rated K" ("For Kids, By Kids") It was only on for a couple of years in the late 80's.
It's very fascinating that around this time Nickelodeon did pathetically in ratings outside Pinwheel and You Can't Do That on Television and was very close to death. It got lucky, because back then nobody knew it would make a hard rebound.
This was life was like before I was born.
I remember that sound too....
This video itself is a decade old now...
Song at 3:23 is High Combustion by Craig Palmer.
Does anyone know the music playing @ 3:32? ACC Basketball games during '83 played that same theme. BTW,this clip rocks on so many levels. Long live classic Nick!
Many cable channels have different feeds for different places, though I think E! Entertainment has only one. News channels are the same way too.
"It's almost over. they should have a Nick rock 80's Block and a Nick rewind channel on a Nick Rewind channel. 6:00 The Smurfs 6:30. DangerMouse 7:00 YCDTOT 7:30 Dusty's Treehouse 8:00 Going Great 8:30 Tomorroe's People 9:00 Mr. Wizard's World 9:30 Third Eye 10:00 Out of Control 10:30 Livewire 11:00 standby."
Do da do! That Simon commercial is ace. XD
Recorded in Chicago, IL.
Control tones used to tell equipment at a TV station or local cable system when a program begins or ends so they can put their own content (usually local commercials) in it's place. Kind of weird to find these tones in the *middle* of a program.
This taught me about time zones
Does anyone remember an early Nick show that basically showed comic books set to music and narration? I think it was called Video Comics.
That music that plays in the background during the Going Great segment, does anyone know the name/if it has one? I remember from my childhood only hearing it in two places, Nickelodeon and at COSI in Columbus, Ohio.
@crazykidsdad It was a digital code signal thing for commercial switches. The sound is also at the start of some old VHS tapes.
Wow, Nick has changed LOTS.
Wow...some interesting programs in the 80s. I would've liked to have seen that "lights, camera, action" one. But I didn't start watching Nickelodeon until the early 90s.
back when the remote could change the TV from 100 feet away and pointing in the wrong derection
wow Lennard nimoy, the original uncut star wars, petticoat fashion, dr who style sci fi shows, the old universal studios, good r&b and the muppets as depicted by jim henson and all that on a fta satellite network IM HOME
Did they really do a segment on Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, a movie which is VERY MUCH NOT FOR KIDS, on a Nickelodeon TV show?
I have an older sister who was born on Oct. 21 of that year; 1983.
I used to like those locker jocks on you cant do that on tv
The attitude that transformed Nickelodeon into what we have today.
I would pay somebody if they could come up with some clips from Dusty's Treehouse. That's the only old Nickelodeon show that I haven't seen a hint of on youtube.
I won that Blue Nickelodeon tshirt in that contest at the end of the video!
I was born in the mid 90s, but I Feel like I was alive around this Time & have seen these commercials! Weird..
You Can't Do That on Television. Wow!!!!
40 yrs ago 😢
The Third Eye...Livewire...The Tomorrow People...Standby...LIghts! Camera! Action! with Leonard (MR. SPOCK!!!) Nimoy. Wow. I remember all this from our VERY FIRST year of cable back in May 1983, when COX Cable New Orleans exploded onto the scene. How far we've come since then... :-)

"Viola" from Mama's Family in a Honey Smacks commercial? She was always funny. She always made the funniest faces.
@acer3573 I was 15 that year in March. I used to watch Nickelodeon because i really liked the Tomorrow People, the rock concerts at night, and You Cant do that on Television.That was the same year that i got into USA networks Night Flight on friday nights. I started watching Nickelodeon in 1982.
Based on the contest date, this was shown in December '83. I turned 10 that month.

In so many words, you're right! ;-)
you had to be one bored nerd to get Stratego.
I remember most of those shows and some of those commercials. Silver City I dont remember. Christopher Makepeace the host of "Going Great, but I saw on IMDB so was Keanu Reeves? Whoah. But I defintely miss "You cant do that on television" that marathon of a show "Pinwheel" even when they showed reruns of the 'Monkees'
stratego is a board game featuring a 10 × 10 square board and two players with 40 pieces each. Pieces represent individual officers and soldiers in an army. The objective of the game is to either find and capture the opponent's Flag, or capture so many of the opponent's pieces that he/she cannot make any further moves. Players cannot see the ranks of each other's pieces, so disinformation and discovery are important elements of the game.
