Nothing quite captures the zeitgeist of the 90s like this magazine. The ads are my favorite part, but the content is really good, too.
Ad for Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida, “Nickelodeon World Headquarters”
In other ways, it was ahead of its time. Look at the ad below in the style of a meme.
Ad for Cable TV with Nickelodeon
I have exercised restraint in not tearing out any of the prank activities to use them, but no judgement if you buy it and decide to use the seat saving card.
“Seat Saved!” Tear Out Card
Another great part of this magazine is a short Q&A with Gerry Laybourne, President of Nickelodeon at that time. So much of Nickelodeon’s “golden age” can be attributed to her work and creativity, especially the idea for Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando.

…but not a VHS tape of the show Bonanza, you’ll have to look elsewhere for that.
Listed some VHS tapes today. Tapes are a little bulky and I get why Blockbuster went out of business but in terms of amount of nostalgia they provide relative to the space they occupy, these are a great deal!

Included in the gallery below are images from the 1989 Universal Studios Florida park guide. When you open the fold out behind the cover, there is a wide view of the park and you can see the Nickelodeon Studios building before the Slime geyser was installed!
There is also a double spread featuring Nickelodeon with images from Double Dare and You Can’t Do That on Television.
I’m keeping my copy, but there are a couple on eBay now:

Not strictly Nickelodeon, but isn’t it interesting that even before television people amused themselves with dares?
The example of this game in the feature image isn’t for sale. I found it at Waldo Flea Market a little over ten years ago without any of the holes punched and had fun opening them and reading all the “stunts.”
Some of them are hard to read in the image, but here are the stunts in the pictured game:
Do a hog calling act.
Give a chorus girl’s lunch when she pays; when her date pays.
Select 3 others and give an exhibition of amateur night.
Pick a victim and show how you would make your first proposal.
Say “black bugs blood” fast five times.
Imitate an announcer at a prize fight.
Act as if it were 100 in the shade.
Imitate a husband trying to explain a blonde hair on his coat.
Put your head on floor or in corner and recite a nursery rhyme.
Place 3 fingers between teeth & say “Where are my parents.”
Tell what Washington might have said crossing the Delaware
Pretend it’s the morning after the night before.
With partner, show how you’d apply for a marriage license.
Like a radio announcer, conduct an early morning gymn class.
Stare at someone for a minute without blinking or laughing.
Place 3 fingers between teeth & say “Where are my parents.” (repeat)
Imitate a man with the hic-coughs trying to order a meal.
Sketch someone present and let the others guess who it is.
Imitate a woman buying a hat.
Imitate a peanut and popcorn vendor at a circus.
Tell about a night you spent in a tourist camp.
Put a clothes pin on your nose and sing a popular song.
Sing “Home Sweet Home” while holding your nose.
Name and touch 6 bones in your body.
Sit in center of room and let everyone make a sketch of you.
Put your head through a newspaper and imitate opera singer.
Make a plea for more seeds in seedless oranges.
Pick partner, each eat cracker, see who can whistle first.
Show how book agent acts when a door is slammed in his face.
Pantomime a ride or a roller coaster.
Give radio commercial on some imaginary product.
Carry on a conversation with the goldfish in the bowl.
I would have loved to purchase this item, but it was just too expensive. It is a guide for employees to create content, but in a tautological or meta sort of way it is the type of creative object it teaches the reader to make.
The gentle irreverence, Memphis Style geometric shapes and unmistakable orange all shine through in the pictures that appear in the listing.

In my mind, this hat and the logo on it pre-date the “golden age,” of Nickelodeon by a few years but it is interesting to see an artifact of the logo before it evolved.

This item sold recently for $152.50, which for the logo as art and the letter as history and all the uniqueness of it, was I think a great deal! People are paying more for the Cynthia doll from the Fall 2018 Nick Box. Weird, right?
