Snick

SNICK (short for Saturday Night Nickelodeon) was a two-hour programming block on the American cable television network Nickelodeon, geared toward general audiences, that ran from 1992 until mid-2004, Saturdays starting at 8 p.m. EST. In 2004, SNICK was revamped as the Saturday night edition of TEENick.

The block debuted on Saturday, August 15, 1992, with a pair of Sunday favorites (the tween-oriented sitcom Clarissa Explains It All and the Nicktoons classic The Ren and Stimpy Show) and the network premieres of Roundhouse (a musical comedy variety series) and Are You Afraid of the Dark? (a kid-friendly horror anthology series in which a group of kids sat around a campfire and told scary stories ending the show with the end of the story then dumping water on the fire to cut to credits). [link] Ads and bumpers for SNICK featured the programming block's "mascot," dubbed "The Big Orange Couch," in several locales, including in front of The Midnight Society's campfire, Ren and Stimpy's house, and in various locations. It was retired in June 1999, when the iconic couch, stuffed with $25,000, was given away in a contest celebrating Nickelodeon's 20th anniversary.
