It’s 2015 and Surge soda is back, people still buy Nirvana records, notable Twitter accounts “imagen” what would happen if “Seinfeld” were still on TV, and now, Nickelodeon is bringing back all your favorite ’90s cartoons in a new programming block called “The Splat.” As Buzzfeed reports, an Australian Nickelodeon representative revealed that, “The Splat is a new day part (10 p.m. – 6 a.m.) that is launching next month in the U.S.”

’90s kids, rejoice! You will never escape your childhood and nostalgia overcomes your every waking move and your future late-night TV habits.
To add fuel to the already blazing social media fire, a Twitter profile called @TheSplat has been posting cryptic but promising updates like “Can you feel it? #TheSplatIsComing” with video clips of classic Nickelodeon shows like “Rugrats,” “Angry Beavers” “Rocket Power,” “CatDog,” “Rocko’s Modern Life,” “The Wild Thornberrys,” “Hey Arnold” and others. Watch that here and relive your childhood.
Incredibly, this move is separate from another Nickelodeon-sponsored attempt to capitalize on all your fond memories of watching cartoons. In a recent Variety interview, Russell Hicks, the network president of content and development, said that the company would reboot many of the classic programs listed above, saying, “We are looking at our library to bring back ideas, shows that were loved, in a fresh new way.”
The ’90s not your thing? Don’t worry, we’re just a few years away from 2000s nostalgia. #BringBackTheOC
