If you have young daughters in the house and are desperate as I was to shut them up then you could do far worse than invest in Sky, or one of the many cable packages that are on offer and get them to watch Nickelodeon.
What is the attraction I don’t know but it never fails to shut the up. Peace descends, of course I can’t get to watch the football but everything has its price and it’s worth it if it shuts them up. The three of them aged 6, 11, and 21 are mesmerized from the moment it is switched on until I dare switch it off.

The programs are dominated by two shows, Sabrina the Teenage Witch starring the ever young and beautiful Melissa Joan Hart. This program is repeated so many times that even I know the scripts and that’s without even watching. The girls tell me though that there are now some new episodes.

Rugrats is a favourite with the youngest who sits as quite as a mouse watching the exploits of her heroes Tommy, Chucky, Dill Lill and Phil, Angelica and others. This is another program, which has made the leap to the silver screen, and after watching a couple of episodes I have to say that the scripts are rather good.
Also worthy of mention are Kenan and Kel and Sister Sister, which was at one time perhaps the top rated show. Another, Are You Afraid of the Dark would have frightened the life out of me at six years of age but not kids nowadays they lap it up.
There is also a third channel Nick Junior which features such evergreens as Thomas the Tank Engine, The Wombles, Ivor the Engine, Sesame Street and Bob the Builder so between the three channels there is always something for the little and not so little darlings to watch.
Rest assured that you can leave the kids watching these shows safe in the knowledge that there is absolutely nothing here that they should not be watching, but if you are tempted to get a satellite or cable package then please do check first that you get all three channels as some may not be available in the package that you get.
Advantages: very watchable, fun competitions, lots of different TV programmes Disadvantages: none
Nickelodeon is a kids’ channel, which is presented by two ladies and a man, who all look in their twenties. Monya (moo-nia) and Ulanda (you-land-uh) are both sisters. Monya has short, dark brown hair and Ulanda has shoulder-length ginger hair.
NICKELODEON PROGRAMMES
SISTER SISTER – a programme about two sixteen year old black identical twins. They were separated at birth, brought up by two different people, met at the shopping mall ... ...Kevin’s (the twins’ Dad) university. Nickelodeon doesn’t really show Two Of A Kind much anymore, but I think they should.
RENFORD REJECTS is a sort of comedy that tells stories about a disgraceful football team, who didn’t make it into the school one. Their rivals, the Renford Razors, are very tough in and out of a match. They pick fights with everyone, especially Bruno De Gradi. Bruno’s real name is Barry Grady, but ...

Advantages: great kids' TV from 6am to 7pm, mixture of programmes, mostly British, some great 1970s TV too! Disadvantages: Several Paddingtons or Wombles one after the other can be tiresome!!
...where Nick Jnr - the Nickelodeon channel for the younger kids - really comes into its own. When kids are ill, they often just want to lie down on the settee, maybe wrapped in a blanket and cuddling their favourite toy, while watching television. For parents, there are a few things to consider while selecting suitable television viewing - it has to be age appropriate and suitable. The last thing you want is them to watch a frightening programme or ... ...My older children prefer watching Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network, but some of the programmes are definitely aimed at older kids, so a five year old would get bored or not understand the show. Some cartoons can be rather violent or feature big scary robots or monsters - not always what a poorly child wants to see.
So Nick Jnr is the answer - continuous television from 6am until 7pm, which fits in perfectly with my daughter's waking hours. The programmes ...

...day.
A few facts~ Nickelodeon changes to the 'paramount' channel at 7pm each weekday and the same at weekends. ( I THINK!!!) The channel is for children although there are programs that young teenagers watch as well. The programs vary from cartoons to comedy shows.
WEEKDAYS BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL~ Programs that show during a weekday before and after school are usually programs like 'Angela Annaconda' 'Hey Arnold' and 'Rugrats'. These suit children ... ...day long-everyday!
THE PRESENTERS~ Nickelodeon has many presenters such as 'Moonia' 'Yiolanda' and 'Matt' as well as many others! They are all really great and keep you entertained. Nickelodeon also gets children into the studio to present and record which looks like really good fun!
COMPETITIONS~ Nickelodeon have many competitions for anyone to compete in, some are really fun and the best bit is if you send them in its FREEPOST and if you ring ...

Advantages: some amusing shows, keeps kids quiet Disadvantages: frequent repeats, not much variety
Nickelodeon is a kids channel available on pay tv. As with the majority of cable channels the programming isn't that varied and there are repeats frequently.
For this kids this is great because it keeps them quiet but there always seems to be only a handful of programmes that come on everyday. The channels major prize is Rugrats and without fail it dominates most of the morning schedule. Occasionally there are new episodes and this is the place ... ...is like this.
KEENAN AND KEL
---------------
These two guys are pretty funny, they are two frineds who constantly get themselves into the most stupid situations. Again it's aimed at kids but the duo are good comedy performers who can't help but raise a smile on the face of an adult.
SABRINA THE TEENAGE WITCH
--------------------------
This is kind of the kids Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The title really sums up what the show is about. It's a ...

I'm not a kid, so I don't know if my opinion on Nickolodeon counts.
But why wasn't there this sort of entertainment when I was?
I watch this channel now, its fun, and brilliant.
They have a great mix of programs, they have Nick junior another separate channel on sky digital and Nick replay, which basically means if you missed your favourite programme is replayed an hour later.
Sometimes the presenters are a bit annoying, and some of the fill ... ...On sky digital it plays up to 10pm at night, with programmes for the older child, and big kid like me.
The best programmes on it are Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sister Sister, Are you afraid of the Dark (scares me sometimes), Alex mack, Moesha, Saved by the Bell and many more.
Earlier in the day they have younger viewer programmes, and a mix of cartoons most modern, like spongebob squarepants, cow and chicken, ed, edd and eddy, rugrats etc.
They ...

Advantages: Will appeal to adults as well as children, great characters, very funny Disadvantages: None
their own way. For all that we feel sorry for Spongebob when others don?t share his enthusiasm, we can totally sympathise with Squidward who just wants to be left alone, rather than being hassled by an over-enthusiastic sponge, however well-meaning.
Spongebob is regularly shown on the Nickelodeon channel, available on Sky, with at least three episodes being shown each day. Spongebob is a huge star in the US, and when I visited Universal Studios last year there was all manner of Spongebob merchandise available. He is slowly becoming more popular in the UK, and there are a number of DVDs, a computer game, several books, greeting cards, soft toys and various other merchandise becoming available. I was the proud recipient of a miaowing Gary at Christmas and I recently bought my other half ?The Spongebob Squarepants Survival Guide? which is ...
Advantages: Fun - Educational - kids love it Disadvantages: hard to switch it off
before as It used to be available years ago whilst I was still at school, although I was too old to watch it at the time, but used to be well into Nickelodeon, awww remember kenan and kel and sister sister just a few of my favs :O)
I was just in dire need of a change.
Seeing as my daughter was just getting into Dora the Explorer, I was extremely pleased to find that on the first occasion I turned onto this channel it was showing at the time. What luck EH!!
Ooooh look Chloe who's that I said, trying to get her really involved so we didn't have to flick it back to cbeebies.
Now generally if I had turned it over without permission (yeah I know and i am meant to be the parent) we would have had a screaming fit, although in this case she was perfectly fine :O)
YES! Mummy was back in control :O) and lee couldn't be bothered either way ...
Advantages: Characters - Feel Good Factor - Stories Disadvantages: Length - too short.

Check out the official www.spongebob.com. Or if you are looking for something different, try www.churchofspongebob.org (even weirder than it sounds).
The only thing I don't like about this is that it's too short. I think its great to watch because it's a real feel-good show and I'm always smiling when I see it. This program has recently started on ITV's SMTV Live. It can also be seen on Nickelodeon.
BYE!! Hope this wasn't too bad for a first opinion! Glad to be here!! ...
