Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon (Nick for short) is a cable TV network primarily for children, owned by the MTV Networks division of Viacom, founded in 1979. The first Nickelodeon channel was American, but there are now several channels in different countries such as Japan, Australia, and UK.

Nickelodeon has produced and aired many animated series under the "Nicktoons" brand, including Hey Arnold!, The Ren and Stimpy Show, Rugrats, and Rocko's Modern Life. Other shows produced in more recent years include SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly Odd Parents, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and many others.

Nickelodeon also became known for its iconic green slime, originally used on the Canadian sketch-comedy show You Can't Do That on Television. It was then adopted by the station as a primary feature of many of its shows, especially Slime Time Live, U-Pick Live, and Friday Night Slimetime.
