Future of Nick Rewind

While Nickelodeon had announced plans to release "You Can't Do That on Television" and Season 3 of "The Adventures of Pete and Pete", Nickelodeon's parent company, Viacom, was in the process of splitting with CBS. Also, Nickelodeon's president, Herb Scannell, had stepped down. It is believed that this may be the reason why these titles and any others relating to Nick Rewind have been pulled.cite web | author=David Lambert | year=2006 | title=Maybe You Can't Do That on DVD...at least not yet| work=TVShowsOnDVD.com| url=http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=5011| accessdate=December 16 | accessyear=2006] It has also been reported that the clearances for "You Can't Do That on Television" were too complicated for a DVD release as of yet, since it not only involves the numerous cast members who appeared on the show, but also involves the show's owner, CJOH-TV in Ottawa, Ontario. cite web | author=David Lambert | year=2006 | title=Maybe You Can't Do That on DVD...at least not yet| work=TVShowsOnDVD.com| url=http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/newsitem.cfm?NewsID=5011| accessdate=December 16 | accessyear=2006] The TV block has stopped airing on Sundays. So far, the future of Rewind is unclear.
