But her top priority is always her friends, which is why she is the unspoken leader of her little gang. She's the glue that holds them all together.

Peppa Pig is a lovable but slightly bossy little pig. She is four years old and lives with Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and her little brother George.

Olive the Ostrich

Olive is an ostrich who has an amazing imagination.

Wherever Olive's imagination takes her, there's always things to do, friends to make and adventures to be had.

Guess How Much I Love You

Based on the best selling children’s book, fans of the heart warming tale can now follow the adventures of Little Nutbrown Hare and all his friends in a series of beautifully animated adventures.

Nickelodeon’s bringing some Justice to Big Time Rush.

EW has learned that Victoria Justice, former star of Victorious, will appear as herself on an installment of Nickelodeon’s boy band sitcom this spring.

Nickelodeon Star Carlos Pena, Jr. Unveils New Video Featuring The Cast And Crew Of "Big Time Rush" Dancing The Harlem Shake, BTR Style!

What do you get if you cross the Nickelodeon Stars and crew of Nick's hit musical comedy series "Big Time Rush", a green screen studio, and the Internets latest video craze (meme)? The Harlem Shake, "Big Time Rush" style!

To celebrate the all-new fourth season of BTR, Carlos Pena, Jr., who plays Carlos Garcia in the popular Nick show, recently unveiled a very special brand new online streaming video on his official YouTube channel, CarlosPenaTV, which features the cast and crew of the series fourth season taking a little break from being very hard at work making brand new episodes dancing "The Harlem Shake" to some out of this world background graphics behind-the-scenes, which you can watch below!

Big Time HARLEM SHAKE (cast and crew of Big Time Rush)

I do not own rights to this song. just some friendly fun on the set of BTR!
Nickelodeon USA will reportedly start to premiere and show episodes from "Big Time Rush" season 4 during Spring 2013.

"The Harlem Shake" is one of the World Wide Webs' newest Internet memes that went viral on YouTube in February 2013. Each meme is in the form of a video that began being replicated according to a similar concept by many people. The art form of the meme was established in a video uploaded on February 2 by The Sunny Coast Skate, five teenagers from Queensland, Australia. The teenagers' video, in its turn, was a follow-up to a video by a YouTube comedy vlogger (video blogger) featuring a part where several costumed people danced to the song "Harlem Shake" by Baauer.

Most "Harlem Shake" videos last around 30-something seconds and feature an excerpt from the song "Harlem Shake" by electronic musician Baauer. Usually, a video begins with one person (often helmeted) dancing to the song alone for 15 seconds, surrounded by other people not paying attention or unaware of the dancing individual. When the bass drops, the video switches to the entire crowd doing a crazy dance for the next 15 seconds. The dancing style should not be confused with the original Harlem Shake dance. In the second half of the video, people often wear crazy outfits or costumes while wielding strange props. The success of the craze is thought to be attributed to the anticipation of the breakout moment and each videos short length.

In February 2013, Dan Schneider unveiled a brand new online streaming video on his official YouTube channel, DanWarp, featuring Jennette McCurdy (Sam Puckett), Ariana Grande (Cat Valentine) and Cameron Ocasio (Dice), and a bunch of their new cast-mates dancing "The Harlem Shake" to celebrate his new Nickelodeon sitcom, "Sam & Cat".

Last year, to celebrate the launch of their brand new CGI-animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series, Nickelodeon released a special video featuring the Heroes in a Half Shell doing their own version of 2012's internet craze "Gangnam Style", a song made famous by the South Korean rapper PSY.
