Am I getting old?

Yes.

But, you have to remeber that the Nickelodeon of my time was not like it is today. Nick had bascially no original programming. The network seemed to be geared toward more "grown up kids." This didn't stop me from watching it since I can remember though.

The shows I liked most were "You can't do that on Television," "Out of Control," "Inspector Gadget," and "Danger Mouse" to a lesser extent. I think all of those shows, except DM (UK?), are Canadian. Plus, You Can't Do That on Television was just one fart joke after another. That show had great impact on my sense of humor. There is nothing funnier than bodily functions. I bet Sponge Bob doesn't fart.
