NEW YORK, March 15 (UPI) -- The U.S. cable network Nickelodeon says it is planning a new nighttime programming block this fall on TeenNick called "The '90s Are All That!"

The block will feature a rotating selection of live-action and animated shows from Nickelodeon's 1990s library -- including "All That," "Clarissa Explains it All," "The Adventures of Pete & Pete," "Rugrats," "Rocket Power," "Salute Your Shorts," "The Amanda Show" and "Kenan & Kel."

"There is an entire generation of young people who literally grew up on these great 1990s' series, and many of them have been vocal about wanting to see and experience these shows again," Keith Dawkins, senior vice president and general manager of Nicktoons and TeenNick, said in a statement. "TeenNick caters to the older segment of the Nick audience, so it's the perfect place to reconnect these shows to their original fans and introduce them to younger viewers for the very first time."

"The '90s Are All That!" will air Monday through Sunday from midnight to 2 a.m. ET, starting in the fall, Nickelodeon said.
