Doctor Snuggles (and Nick Jr) - Nick Knacks Episode #067
We kick of 1988 with a look at Nick Jr, what it meant for the channel, as well as explore one of its earliest programs. Doctor Snuggles is an eccentric inventor who is friends to everybody, and in a world where every single thing is alive and can talk, that's saying something.

We close out 1987 with a look at Finders Keepers, Nickelodeon's attempt to make lightning strike twice with a children's game show. Why didn't it seem to work? Why did the host change between the cable version and syndicated version? And where did the show find the most success?

Inspector Gadget - Nick Knacks Episode #065
Nickelodeon used to be very careful about what animated shows they added to their schedule. It had to be cartoons you couldn't get anywhere else, and you could only add two every year. But then, in 1987, along came Inspector Gadget, and everything changed. We explore what the show meant for Nick, its origins as a last-minute replacement to a Lupin the Third spinoff, and how it put DIC on the map.
