The '''Nickelodeon Saturday programming block''', known as '''Gotta See Saturdays''' from 2012 to 2013, '''Nick's New Saturday Night''' from 2014, '''Nick's Saturday Night''' from 2015 to 2017 and '''A Night of Premieres''' from 2018 to 2021 was the [[block programming|program block]] branding of [[Nickelodeon]]'s [[Saturday morning cartoon|Saturday morning]] and Saturday evening programming on the flagship channel in the [[United States]]. The morning block (airing from 10:00&nbsp;a.m.-12:30 p.m ET/PT) mainly features new premieres of [[Nicktoons]] programming, with the evening block (from 7:30&nbsp;p.m.-10:00 p.m ET/PT) consisting of the network's original live-action sitcoms. The branding launched on September 22, 2012, with season premieres of the respective series in both dayparts.<ref>{{cite web|title= Nickelodeon Teases Gotta See Saturdays This Fall|url=http://www.hitzoneonline.com/1/post/2012/08/nickelodeon-teases-gotta-see-saturdays-this-fall.html|publisher=Hit Zone|access-date=September 2, 2012|date=August 19, 2012}}</ref> The evening version of ''Gotta See Saturdays'' was a direct successor to the former Saturday night [[SNICK]] (1992–2005) and [[TEENick]] (2001–2009) blocks.<ref>{{cite web|last=Reynolds|first=Mike|title=New Nick Block Aims for Tweens|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-71874376.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105162615/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-71874376.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 5, 2012|work=[[Cable World]]|publisher=HighBeam Research|access-date=February 25, 2011|date=February 19, 2001}}</ref>

On March 31, 2018, the branding for Nick's Saturday night premieres was known as '''''A Night of Premieres''''', with the premiere of the newest original series ''[[Star Falls]]'' and ''[[Knight Squad]]'' alongside season 4 of ''[[Henry Danger]]''. In late 2020, Nickelodeon stopped premiering new episodes of animated series on Saturday mornings, instead premiering them on Friday nights. The branding was discontinued on November 20, 2021, with Nick moving its' live-action comedy premieres to Thursday nights starting on January 6, 2022. In its previous brandings, one of the first acquired programming to air in this format was ''[[TeenNick Top 10]]'' from sister channel ''[[TeenNick]]''. On February 25, 2017, Nickelodeon began promoting the Saturday morning block as ''The Saturday Morning Hang Zone with Lincoln Loud'', themed to ''The Loud House''. The block was discontinued on March 23, 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilht0NUhvIQ |title=Nickelodeon USA: Hang Zone with Lincoln Loud - Promo 3}}</ref>
