NEW YORK, Aug. 25 -- Nickelodeon is collaborating with
CreateSpace, part of the Amazon.com, Inc. group of companies, to make a
premier selection of Nickelodeon's most beloved and sought-after hits
available on DVD -- some shows for the first time ever. Starting today,
fan-favorite shows like Drake & Josh, Hey, Arnold! and Danny Phantom -- among
many others -- can now be purchased on DVD via CreateSpace DVD on Demand,
where discs are manufactured as soon as customers order them on Amazon.com.
The initiative will give Amazon.com the largest selection of Nickelodeon DVD
titles available on the Web.
"This agreement makes Amazon.com home to the largest selection of
Nickelodeon DVDs anywhere, including some of our classic titles like Hey,
Arnold! to recent hits such as Drake & Josh," said Nancy Rachman, Vice
President, Nickelodeon Home Entertainment. "These are some of the
most-requested shows from both current and long-time Nick fans, and we're very
excited about making these titles available on Amazon.com."
The Nickelodeon titles now available through CreateSpace DVD On Demand
include selected seasons of Drake & Josh (Best of Seasons One through Four),
Unfabulous (Seasons One and Two), Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide
(Seasons One and Two), Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius (Best of Seasons One through

shows from the Nick Rewind collection also will be available, including
classic favorites like Hey, Arnold! (Seasons One and Two), Doug (Seasons One
and Two) and Rocko's Modern Life (Best of Volumes One and Two). Also available
for the first time on DVD will be the hit show South of Nowhere (Seasons One
and Two) from The N. All of these titles are multi-disc sets.
The collaboration provides Nickelodeon with the opportunity to offer fans
a broader selection of shows on DVD than ever before. All Nickelodeon titles
