TeenNick was clearly banking on nostalgia when it announced its heavily-promoted late night block of '90s reruns, and it looks like it's paying off.

The Monday night, 12:00-to-2:00 a.m. ET  launch of "The 90s Are All That" brought in 555,000 viewers, boosting the time-slot's ratings from the previous year by over 100%.

It's inaugural line-up of "Kenan & Kel," "All That," "Doug" and "Clarissa Explains It All" was an exceptional success among adults 18-34. It brought in 229,000 viewers, an increase of 500%.

As the block continues to run on the network, which it looks likely to do for some time now, other '90s series joining the mix will be "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" and "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

Zap2it would like to put in a special request for "Salute Your Shorts" to start airing as soon as possible.

I'm proud to say that I grew up on these shows. I'm scared of where today's children will end up watching all of the garbage that comprises TV now. Brainless crap.

i hope they come back with they cant do that on television and all that im all excited to watch this

Rocko's Modern Life and Legends of the Hidden Temple!

Man, I feel old, because when I grew up with Nick I was watching DANGER MOUSE AND INSPECTOR GADGET. Still to this day, not many cartoons rival the humor Danger Mouse had in the mid 80's.

@Andy: Actually, Rocko's Modern Life airs on Nicktoons in late night. You gotta check the day for it but they have a 4-episode block of the show at 3:00am.

Hmm, I wish I got TeenNick on my service.

I wish I had time to watch that block of show

I absolutely agree with "Salute Your Shorts" a classic favorite of mine!! I'm am so happy to see "my" shows back on the air!! =)
