The creation of the block was inspired by a large amount of interest in classic Nickelodeon series by users of social media outlets such as Facebook. Response to the debut was very positive; hash tags pertaining to the block became trending topics on Twitter and the Nielsen Ratings for TeenNick on the debut night increased to between eight and 60 times the ratings TeenNick received in previous weeks, beating numerous higher-profile basic cable programs in the same time slot. It was originally announced that the block would premiere in the fall.
