Nickelodeon is now synonymous with cartoons and TV shows aimed at kids and teens, but what exactly does Nickelodeon mean? Although now there are many TV channels with content for younger audiences, Nickelodeon remains a favorite not only among kids but also with adults who grew up watching the classic Nicktoons and shows like All That and The Amanda Show. Nickelodeon, owned by Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment, was launched in 1979 and was the first cable channel for children.

In 1986, along with sister networks MTV and VH1, Nickelodeon was sold to Viacom, its home to this day. Most Nickelodeon content today is available on a variety of networks owned by the company and aimed at different age groups. It's also available on the streamer Paramount+. Paramount+ is the exclusive home for almost all of Nickelodeon's content, allowing fans young and older to rewatch their favorite programs. Even fans who have been watching Nickelodeon content for decades,...

Eli Noyes, the Oscar-nominated animator who revolutionized stop-motion filmmaking with his innovative use of clay and sand, has died. He was 81.

Noyes died Saturday of complications from prostate cancer at his home in San Francisco, Toy Story producer Ralph Guggenheim told The Hollywood Reporter. The two formed Alligator Planet in 2003 to create film, print and media works.

As an undergraduate student at Harvard University, Noyes received his Oscar nomination for his 8-minute animated film Clay or the Origin of Species (1965), which established clay stop animation as a genre and would influence the work of Wallace and Gromit creators Peter Lord and David Sproxton.

For two other short films, he employed sand animation for Sandman (1973) and pixelated stop motion for Peanut Butter and Jelly (1976).

Noyes later shaped the look and spirit of children’s programming in the early days of cable TV, especially for Nickelodeon. The rebranded network’s first show,...

When NBC premiered "The Cosby Show" on September 20, 1984, the network effectively claimed ownership of Thursday night primetime television for several decades. This was the unofficial beginning of Must-See TV (the moniker wouldn't be coined until 1993), and the series' ratings prominence throughout the mid- to late-'80s anchored NBC's lineup, allowing them to switch out sitcoms in the 8:30 and 9:30 slots as needed.

The other Thursday half-hour slot deemed untouchable by the network was the 9 p.m. post dominated by "Cheers." Created by James Burrows, Glen Charles, and Les Charles, the show built around a neighborhood Boston bar where everybody knows your name bounced around during its first two seasons before permanently bellying up to 9 p.m. for the rest of its 11-season run. It was the lightly ribald counterpart to the family-friendly antics of "The Cosby Show," and it never had a bad season.

These two series changed television history forever,...

K-pop group Seventeen appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live to showcase their recent single, “Ready to Love.” The song appears on their new EP, Your Choice, which dropped earlier this month.

In the clip, the group’s 13 members gave a carefully choreographed rendition of the smooth-talking pop song, performing from a soundstage surrounded by microphones.

In May, Seventeen performed for Rolling Stone‘s In My Room series. Each member of the 13-member band showcased their vocal talents in Seventeen’s three separate units, with the five-member Vocal Unit singing an updated version of their 2017 song “Pinwheel.

Seventeen were the latest group to perform for Rolling Stone‘s In My Room video series, with each member of the 13-member band showcasing their vocal talents in Seventeen’s three separate units.

The five-member Vocal Unit — consisting of Woozi, Jeonghan, Joshua, Dk, and Seungkwan — went first, singing an updated version of their 2017 song “Pinwheel,” a ballad inspired by a dream that’s about “longing for someone you can’t meet anymore.” The five singers traded vocal harmonies and solos over a backing piano track before switching things over to the Hip-Hop Unit,...

The I Spy series ran for 82 episodes and three seasons on NBC, from 1965 until 1968. The show revolves around international tennis player Kelly Robinson (Robert Culp) and his trainer, Alexander Scott (Bill Cosby), as they travel to exotic locales enjoying the good life. However, they are secretly spies for the Pentagon and use their covers to gain access to exclusive functions, woo beautiful women, and stop international villains.

I Spy was revolutionary in its day for being the first series to feature an African-American actor in a lead role. Cosby won Emmys for all the three years of the series, beating out Culp each time. Other actors featured in the series include

In the last episode of the show, "Pinwheel," Robinson and Scott must work with a flighty agent named Melanie (Arlene Golonka) to retrieve Soviet documents in Acapulco.
