Nick's "Wendell & Vinnie" was originally planned to be broadcast in Nickelodeon USA's nighttime programming block, Nick at Nite (stylized as nick@nite), but was moved to be part of Nick USA just before the series premiered on Saturday 16th February 2013. As the show was originally made to be suited towards a older audience, it is thought that Nick UK & Eire may air a special 'Viewer Discretion Is Advised' notice sting just before each episode is shown, similar to the one Nick UK airs just before each episode of the Australian teen-oriented television drama series "Dance Academy" (screenshot image below):

Nick@Nite's all-new comedy series "Wendell & Vinnie" is a multi-camera scripted half-hour sitcom that follows 30-year-old Vinnie Bassett (Trainor) living the life of a carefree bachelor, when he suddenly becomes the legal guardian of his precocious, wise-beyond-his-years nephew, Wendell (Buddy Handleson, "Shake It Up") forming a hysterical odd-couple family dynamic. Nicole Sullivan ("Rita Rocks", "MadTV", "The King of Queens", "The Penguins of Madagascar") also stars as Vinnie's older unlucky-in-love sister, Wilma, with Haley Strode ("Gangster Squad") as Vinnie's newly divorced neighbor and love interest, Taryn.
