Nickelodeon Rewind is a spin-off brand of of Nickelodeon consisting of digital download service collections composed of old Nicktoons. Beginning in June 2010, Nickelodeon Rewind is being featured as a part of Comcast On Demand programming, with a lineup that features mostly Nickelodeon cartoons that aired in the 1990s. It shows The Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, and Doug, showing until October 1, 2010.

Nickelodeon Rewind was originally a collection of DVDs and merchandise of older Nickelodeon shows such as Clarissa Explains It All, The Adventures of Pete and Pete, and You Can't Do That on Television. The collection was launched in 2005, but is was on hold for an indefinite period of time until 2008. There was also a "Nick Rewind" block of programming on Sundays during the Summer of 2006.

The block has since stopped airing on Nickelodeon and with the phasing out of all former classic programming on Nickelodeon's web video on demand service, all future plans for archived programming are unknown. In June 2010 however, a Nickelodeon Rewind feature appeared on Comcast through OnDemand, featuring episodes of The Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold!, Doug, and Rugrats. Nickelodeon Rewind is a collection of DVDs of older Nickelodeon television shows.

The first two DVDs in this collection were released on May 17, 2005: Clarissa Explains It All and The Adventures of Pete and Pete. These DVDs sold so well that Nickelodeon then released Season 2 of Pete and Pete in November 2005. The third season of Pete and Pete, as well as Volume One of "You Can't Do That on Television", were set for release in the spring of 2006, but after several postponements, the releases are currently on hiatus.

While Nickelodeon had announced plans to release You Can't Do That on Television and Season 3 of The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Nickelodeon's parent company, Viacom, was in the process of splitting with CBS. Also, Nickelodeon's president, Herb Scannell, had stepped down. It is believed that this may be the reason why these titles and any others relating to Nickelodeon Rewind have been pulled.

It has also been reported that the clearances for You Can't Do That on Television were too complicated for a DVD release as of yet, since it not only involves the numerous cast members who appeared on the show, but also involves the show's owner, CJOH-TV in Ottawa, Ontario, and in turn that station's current owner, the CTV Network division of CTVglobemedia.
