Gotta See Saturdays is a kid/teen-oriented television programming block that will air on Nickelodeon in an attempt to boost ratings of the once dominant kids network. The block will launch in Fall 2012[1]. Gotta See Saturdays will air new episodes of nickelodeon shows Saturdays from 11a.m.-12:30p.m. ET/PT and, at 8p.m.-10p.m. A promo for the block aired in August 2012.[2]
The block include new episodes of shows such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Power Rangers Samurai, the final episodes of iCarly and VICTORiOUS, Big Time Rush, How to Rock and You Gotta See This.
It is nickelodeon's first attempt of branding their new episodes on Saturdays since TEENick. The only difference is Gotta See Saturdays will only air on Saturdays only, unlike TEENick airing on both Saturdays and Sundays. TEENick was a teen-oriented television programming block that aired on Nickelodeon. The block launched on July 8, 2000[3] and lasted until February 2, 2009. TEENick aired on Sunday nights from 6-9 p.m. ET/PT and, beginning in 2004, began to also air on Saturday nights from 8-10 p.m. ET/PT (replacing the popular SNICK block that started in 1992). It was originally hosted by Nick Cannon, and then by Jason Everhart (aka "J. Boogie"). The block included shows such as Romeo!, Just Jordan, iCarly, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Drake & Josh, All That, H2O, The Amanda Show, Zoey 101, Mr. Meaty and All Grown Up!. On August 3, 2009, TEENick was dropped from The N again.
