In October of last year, the audio variants and the avaiability sections were cut down because they were considered page bloat as part of the efforts to clean up the page. While I kept some of the information this person added, the audio variants and availabilty sections have been cut down again to remove both page bloat and redundant information.

'''Nickelodeon Studios''' was a television studio in [[Universal Studios Florida]] that also served as an attraction in the park, allowing kids to attend tapings of [[Nickelodeon]]'s game shows. The first program taped there, ''Super Sloppy Double Dare'', was taped in Spring 1989, with the attraction fully opening on June 7, 1990. The attraction, while initially very popular, began to decline in the 2000s as Nick began slowly shifting their live-action output to closed-set sitcoms and moving filming to Nickelodeon on Sunset in Hollywood as well as of lack of talent in the Orlando area. The final show taped there, ''Nickelodeon SPLAT!'', finished taping on August 17, 2004, with the attraction permanently shutting down on April 30, 2005 and was replaced by Blue Man Group, but closed years later.

***On ''Clarissa Explains It All'', the logo transitions from the [[Thunder Pictures]] logo. Also, the shot of the Slime Geyser is cut entirely.
****A version without the transition was spotted on 2011-2015 broadcasts of seasons 2-5 of ''All That'' on TeenNick's The 90's Are All That block, plastering over the 1994 version of the 5th logo on season 2 and the 1994 and 1996 [[Nickelodeon Productions]] logos on seasons 2-5.
