I wasn’t “allowed” to watch it, not because my parents had a problem with it but because we didn’t have cable TV. I miss some references other people make about SpongeBob or other Nickelodeon / cable TV stuff, but I’ve never felt like I missed out much. Especially now as an adult, I just get to ask people about something they’re nostalgic for from childhood and have interesting conversations.

I did see half an episode of Nickelodeon Guts once and would have watched the heck out of it if we’d had cable.
