The block was originally a "oldies channel" showcasing classic television {{sitcom}}s such as ''Series/ILoveLucy'', ''Series/IDreamOfJeannie'' and ''{{SCTV}}''. During TheNineties in particular, this made it something of an interesting curiosity for media or history students (including, perhaps, media-students-to-be who watched Nick shows earlier in the day and stuck around before bedtime) because it was the only national programming block still regularly airing these shows in America, many of which were forty years old or more at that point, thus making it a good window back into the programming of TheFifties for anyone who wanted to learn about the big shows of that era.
