Taina was an American sitcom that aired on Nickelodeon and distributed by Nelvana Limited outside the USA. It was the last live-action comedy show filmed at Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, FL before the company left and it became abandoned with everything inside the building but later moved to the Nickelodeon on Sunset in Hollywood, for its second season. The show aired from January 14, 2001 to May 11, 2002. The show has since went on to become a cult classic despite the show never airing again in almost two decades. It has yet to ever air on television again on either TeenNick or it's late-night programming block, NickRewind after almost two decades. Despite this, the entire series is viewable on YouTube.
