Nick in the Afternoon

Nick in the Afternoon was a programming block on Nickelodeon that was aired on weekday afternoons during the summer, hosted by Stick Stickly, a talking popsicle stick. During its first summer, the programming consisted of normal Nickelodeon shows that would have aired regardless, but come its second summer Nick in the Afternoon took a drastic turn, instead showing preselected NickToons with added segments such as "U Pick" (viewers pick what show and episode they want to see) and U Dip (viewers pick which substance Stick Stickly is dipped in) The segments, although pre-selected, were chosen by a big spinner which Stick Stickly would be tied to and acted as the arrow.

When giving viewers the address at which they could write him, Stick Stickly would sing a little (and easily memorizable) jingle: "Write to me/Stick Stickly/PO Box 963/New York City/New York State/10108."
