According to Click TV (http://www.clicktv.com/), a 2-hour marathon of Rugrats episodes will be seen during Snick on Saturday,
10/2/99, 8PM ET to 10PM ET. Programming details are not available because: (1) Click TV usually doesn't give programming
details for "Rugrats", and (2) as of 9/24, my usual source, TV Quest (http://www.tvquest.com/) hasn't updated their TV
listings since last week (listings for 10/1 to 10/7 should've been available from them by now).

This marathon would likely feature 2 hours of all-new Rugrats episodes, most likely to have already been seen in Canada on YTV
(still requesting info; see my previous posts for details).

As for this week's (Saturday, 9/25, 8PM ET) new episode, which features "No Place Like Home", that episode is in doubt, as Tv
Guide has a repeat, "Ghost Story" / "Chuckie's Complaint", scheduled instead. Do any regular Nick viewers know if they are
showing any promos for the new "Rugrats" episode for this Saturday? Due to my daily schedule, I don't watch Nick during the
week, and I don't want to waste any video tape on and episode I already have.

'lax. This is only like 2 hours, plus it's new episodes. Rocko is out of
production and it'll stay that way.

follows:

8PM ET: No Place Like Home / 2nd Story TBA
(whether or not this is new or a repeat depends on whether Nick shows this episode this week (9/25/99))

8:30PM ET: Pedal Pusher / Music (repeat)

9PM ET: To Be Announced
(may be a new episode or may be a rerun -- I'll check with TV Quest when they do update, or the 10/2 TV Guide when it hits
the stands this Monday, whichever comes first)

9:30PM ET: Zoo Story / I Do (repeat)

Sounds like you,ve been wacthing too many Whatever Girls skethes on All That.

Big deal. A great Nicktoon like Rocko got new episodes but it did,nt get a
marathon. I bet that if the origanal Spumco Ren and Stimpy episodes came back
it would blow those stinkin babies off the chart!

which is in a way, a good thing. I'd hate to have seen Rocko hyped up to
Rugrats/CatDog proportions. It would have taken away from the classicness of
Rocko.

Rocko wasn't really a kid show. Now please stop whining 'bout R&S everyone. The
show wasn't really THAT good, IMO.

Took the words right out of my mouth. This cartoon, like
countless others, ended when it should have. It was just
basically the sleeper Nicktoon.

According to the Tribune Media Services listings, it's:
Share and Share Alike / Tommy For Mayor

Don Del Grande, del_g...@netvista.net
But as Nickelodeon has been having its problems with new episode listings
(listings for "The Wild Thornberrys" and "Hey Arnold!" have been wrong on a
number of occasions recently), I'd take any new listings information with a
grain of salt)

By the way, was Rugrats' "No Place Like Home" episode seen on Nick last night (Saturday, 9/25), or was "Ghost Story" /
"Chuckie's Complaint" seen instead? I was away at work and didn't bother taping it, as it was scheduled again (maybe) for next
Saturday (10/2).

Steve, have you ever tried Excite? Go to tv.excite.com. You can
customize your favorites (even remind yourself of certain episodes).
Also, their schedules tell you when a show is new or not. However,
there is no mail delivery. I don't think it goes past a week in
coverage.

If R&S were to return to Nick, they would get attention, but note this
one thing. Not that many episodes were made, and after a while (like
most "shock-toons", South Park B&B, etc) would lose steam, people will
stop watching and ratings would drop faster than an asteroid. Remember
South Park? They had like nearly 5's and 6's when they first burst out
in the 9-7 and now where are they in the top 15? People lost interest
and the 15 minutes are allmost up.

But, Rugrats for the matter, even though its ratings are not as high
back in the pre-pro-wrestling days STILL maintains high ratings-even in
repeats! If you were a Rugrats fan, you would understand...
