The '90s Are All That 
Premiered July 25, 2011 Channel TeenNick Origin United States Format 1990s block Runtime Weeknights 12am–4am ET (July 25, 2011 – October 6, 2011)
Nightly 10pm–2am ET (October 7, 2011 – October 23, 2011)
Nightly 12am–4am ET (October 24, 2011 – Present)The '90s Are All That is a programming block that airs on TeenNick. The block shows requested Nickelodeon shows from the 1990s, airing in a two-hour block running every night from midnight to 2 a.m., with an encore from 2 to 4 a.m.[1][2] The block derives its name and logo from All That, a popular sketch comedy series that ran on Nickelodeon from 1994 to 2005.
The creation of the block, which debuted the night of July 25, 2011 (early July 26), was inspired by a large amount of interest in classic Nickelodeon series by users of social media outlets such as Facebook.[3] From October 7 through October 23, the block aired in an earlier time slot, from 10 p.m. to midnight.[4] Response to the debut was very positive; hash tags pertaining to the block became trending topics on Twitter[5] and the Nielsen Ratings for TeenNick on the debut night increased to between eight and 60 times the ratings TeenNick received in previous weeks, beating numerous higher-profile basic cable programs in the same time slot.[6]
Some of the animated programming that is scheduled to be included in the block in the future was, at the time of the block's launch, already airing in overnight marathons on sister network Nicktoons, a practice that began in summer 2010. The Nicktoons marathons continued alongside The '90s Are All That through August 2011, but have since been removed from the schedule.

U-Pick with Stick
Upick with Stick Stickly
On October 7, 2011, Stick Stickly, who hosted the Nick in the Afternoon block during the mid-90's, returned to host the block on Friday night. The Friday night block revives "U-Pick" from the afternoon block, allowing viewers to vote online to decide which shows they want to see. Stickly often pops out at certain times when a program is airing.
For the first several weeks of U-Pick, the ballot included programs that were not in the regular lineup. Programs aired during the early weeks of U-Pick with Stick that have not yet been included in the regular lineup include:
- Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
- The Angry Beavers
- Family Double Dare
- Legends of the Hidden Temple
- Rocket Power
- Rugrats
- The Secret World of Alex Mack
- Salute Your Shorts
- Space Cases
- The Wild Thornberrys
The previously lost film Cry Baby Lane, which was aired once on Nickelodeon in 2000, aired on The 90s Are All That on October 31, 2011. While the network stated it was a "write-in candidate," the U-Pick process offers no options for write-ins.
In addition to the U-Pick lineups, The '90s Are All That also scheduled mini-marathons for Thanksgiving week. Programs scheduled for the marathons included Salute Your Shorts, Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, All That and Kenan and Kel.
