ny923 appears to be getting his or her memories mixed up a bit. First, "Hi Honey, I'm Home" never appeared on Nickelodeon, to the best of my knowledge. I'm reasonably certain it was a broadcast network show, although which network it was escapes me (probably ABC or Fox).
Second, "You Can't Do That On Television," while it gained most of its popularity on Nickelodeon (and helped establish that network as a viable channel, and gave Nick its trademark Green Slime) was actually developed and produced in Canada, independently of Nickelodeon.
Third, "Today's Special" was another Canadian show that was broadcast on TVOntario, a public broadcasting network. As far as I know, it never appeared on Nick.
The same goes for "Belle and Sebastian," which also aired on TVO. "Belle and Sebastian," however, appeared to be an anime cartoon, and therefore very likely produced in Japan.
I don't recall "Don't Just Sit There" (a spinoff of YCDTOTV, perhaps) or "Pinwheel," so I can't deny that they actually appeared on Nick. =)
That said, "Hi Honey, I'm Home" was a pretty entertaining show with a very unique premise. Guest shots by old TV stars added to the appeal... somewhat. =)
