Thoughts of a DJ: The Splat review




Hello one & all it's The DJ coming right at you with a new review of a block which I'm sure you know & love that of the Splat

Now this lovely little block debuted a while back & originally it was called the 90s are All That since they'd showed episodes of it on the block & then later on would reinvent themselves as The Splat.  The shows are the classic Nick shows that we all had the pleasure of watching such as Doug, Rug rats , Hey Arnold, & Rocket Power to name a few.

In addition they also air music videos & some thoughts on the block in between commercial breaks mainly from festival goers which is pretty cool since there are people that grew up on the classics. So it looks something like this:

What does 90s nick mean to you:

I can highly relate because this was the channel that we all grew up on & when they were about good cartoons & shows that was when they were at their hey day so for them to do a block dedicated to the classics just gives you a feeling of 90s nostalgia it feels good to see what we had the pleasure of growing up on as kids.

But maybe that's not enough. I remember way back when there was a channel called Nick toons TV in which they did the same thing & aired of course had interviews with some of the voice actors & aired no commercials. But unfortunately changed dramatically but I digress.

So I'll say this about the Splat its cool that there's a block to give us adult audiences something to watch but as for a channel dedicated to the classics  that's something that I'd love to see on TV once again the same can be said for the following:

Disney XD

Cartoon Network

Discovery Family

Boomerang

While I'm a big fan of the classics balance out the old with the new & lets not forget the past instead of doing away with things altogether as for some rebooted shows while its better to leave some of them alone just think of it as a updated version of nostalgia from someone else's point of view with their own characters which we've seen some pretty decent remakes of. Just don't overdo it.

So  in closing my initial thoughts on The Splat would have to be only this this is the kind of block I could see really lasting & here's hoping that it does because there are a lot of people who enjoy the classics & it's a real treat to be watching these shows that we all grew up on. To whoever had the idea to do that God bless you & thanks so much for doing this.

Well I should get going but for now here's some tunes to get you going.
