Is Nickelodeon dying?
>Nickelodeon
You mean the Spongebob Network?
>>81223077
It died a long time ago anon.
>>81223077
this is seriously sad
>>81223146
Let me put it like this, is it getting close of being shut down?
>>81223077
you can't kill whats already dead OP
episodes of kung fu panda are still being made?
>>81223146
OH NO
NOT ME
I NEVER LOST CONTROL
>>81223206
Has it already become a demon?
When did it get so bad, like seriously? How did the network that produced ATLA get so low?
>>81223077
There's a hour of different shows in there. Hell, I'm pretty sure that's legitimately less Spongebob than what they were running with a few years ago.
Anybody have that Son of the Bronx screenshot of Nick's fifty highest rated shows for a week where something like forty-seven of them were Spongebob episodes?
>>81223225
>>81223077
>all that Spongebob
Fucking hell, what happened to all their cartoons?
This is why we have to support you animated shows on Nickelodeon. Otherwise Nickelodeon only in SpongeBob and more those live-action comedy shows.
It's looked that way for the past... I don't know, 8 years? At least 5. It's on Sponge Bob™ brand life support.
>>81223445
They drove them away. Seriously. Look at what they did to Legend of Korra
>>81223268
ATLA was that reason.
But really, it died when they fired John K, if they did fire him we could of got the Ghibli of the west but instead it is rotting.
Is this real...?
>>81223583
Yes.
>>81223602
And it wasn't like a special marathon day or anything?
I mean is there ANY context that I'm missing here?
>>81223549
>firing someone who intentionally delayed production of episodes
If that isn't a good reason, you would make a fucking terrible executive
>>81223608
It's just what they do now. Hell you can go to their website right now and see for yourself
A lot of the people I know who don't watch cartoons much love Spongebob and like that it's nearly always on to watch.
>>81223618
>Delayed production
That only happened once with Stimpy's Invention because of a joke.
Late episodes did not become a thing until the Games episodes, Spumco episodes were almost always on time.
>>81223638
Their website is shit. Can't scroll the schedule for whatever reason.
That doesn't look that bad to me.
>>81223690
Well nick jr. has always been around. Here's the stuff after that
It's probably worst on weekends
>>81223225
It's really sad looking at this because Nickelodeon has some cartoons I'm genuinely interested but I'll never watch the channel. I don't see the appeal in sitting through 3 hour blocks of Spongebob reruns and if I were to watch them online I'd rather spend that time with shows I'm already invested in.
>>81223077
God dam, teen titans go better step up there game
>>81223181
Probably not. It has lots of live action pedo sitcoms, as well as some new cartoons coming up
>>81223690
Their website is definitely better than CN and Disney, but yeah, no scroll is stupid
Its got nothing good anymore.
Seriously nothing worth watching on nickelodeon
>>81224128
Not even TMNT?
>>81223077
wheres Ladybug?
>>81223077
Is this real?
>>81224178
on hiatus. Nick literally has no new animated series episode scheduled for April
>>81224203
Doesn't seem like it is http://www.nick.com/shows/tvschedule/
>>81224166
new tmnt is pretty bad
>>81223181
As a cable network, definitely. But more because its parent company and cable television itself are on their way out.
It will probably linger as a brand, become some sort of streaming service.
>>81224237
that's nick jr you dum
>>81224265
What is bad about it?
>>81223549
>comparing John K to Ghilbi
>>81223445
That is all their cartoons.
>>81223680
>That only happened once with Stimpy's Invention because of a joke.
Delaying a single episode because of some joke seems indicative of behavior I would not want in an employee.
>>81224494
To be fare John K is on par to Rod Scribner when Hayao Miyazaki is the Chuck Jones of the east.
>>81224579
Bryke did much worse.
>>81224166
I don't know? Are they even airing TMNT because it's not on that schedule.
>>81224377
no it's not
>>81224415
it's literally capeshit level of badness
>>81224415
they ramped up the characters personalities to a ppoint where theyre just tropes. Its void of soul too
>>81223690
>>81224237
I'm fairly sure it used to be worse earlier. We had a couple of threads like this long ago and I went to look at that schedule page, and they had an insane amount of Spongebob lined up in there whenever I took a look. They seem to have changed their scheduling since then.
>>81224862
Pretty sure that's the case. Spongebob 24/7 may yet return
>>81224674
>>81224755
So even this is better?
>>81224985
i was actually going to make a point about fast foward. To an extent it was alright, although i only remember it from a younger age. Power rating is still 80's > 00's > ff > live action > 3d movies > new one
>>81223181
We need to beat the final boss first, Dan "the man with the plan to get kids in his van" Schneider.
>>81224265
But the new TMNT is great. Or at least it was.
>>81223077
This calls for an edit where each Spongebob face down the list is slightly altered from the one before it.
>>81225036
>Or at least it was.
WHat happened to it?
Just letting you know those reruns of spongebob get better ratings than your favorite show
>>81225073
Season 3-4 happened. Shipping / love triangle bs, boring farm episodes, time travel bs, parallel dimensions bs, earth destruction bs etc.
>>81225036
judging it on three points
1) the animation
2/10, clearly done it a style to save budget
2) relation to source
5/10 the characters feel dull in comparison but i think that's mainly from the art style. It doesn't stay true enough or differentiate itself enough to be memorable or significant.
3) actual plot
i thought it was thinly veiled, a lot lighter but also a lot more extreme in terms of sexuality and passive violence (like Donatello almost killing raph or whatever it was without repercussion)
Of course my view isnt definite, I just personally dislike. I didn't expect much and it delivered little.
>>81223077
Reminder this is old. They've mostly reverted to their live action bullshit, I think Nicktoons has spongebob reruns even less too.
Don't blame spongebob entirely anymore, this is outdated.
They do have days where they marathon it but it isn't like TTG right now.
>>81223827
I hate the title of that shit Alvin show. You can tell they based the title on how I don't even know his name yells Alvin's name when he is mad at him, but they stretched the wrong letters. It should be AAAALVIN!!!
It is a horrible show regardless.
>>81223225
pajeet and snek is still airing?
>>81223077
Cartoon Network used to be like this, only with Scooby Doo instead of Spongebob. It'll chug along and change.
>>81226354
>It should be AAAALVIN!!!
That's the opposite emphasis. The stretch comes at the end, not at the beginning. It'd probably work better as ALVIIIIN!
>>81224996
>2k12 is worse than Next Mutation
Fuck you
>>81226461
Cartoon Network is still like this, oonly with Teen Titans Go
>>81226765
And it use to be Johnny Test.
>>81223077
It's a fucking animated skeleton at this point.
>>81226975
How spooky

You guys probably know this already, but Nick shot themselves in the head back in early 2006 - 10 whole years ago -, when Cyma zarghami became president.
Soon enough, she cancelled all the 90s-early 2000s shows, treated shows like Jenny the waifu, Chalkzone, and Avatar badly, replacing them with Flash, CGI, soft porn tweencoms, and endless post-movie Spongebob. Also, the network seemed to lose the "chill", comfy feeling it had when shows like Hey arnold were on.
Farewell, old Nick
I'm still disappointed I've never found a Youtube vid of someone playing the Spongebob theme song while scrolling through the number of times it's on per day. I'll bet it's been at least as many times as they sing the name for a while.
>>81223445
What cartoons?
Christ I don't even think they do syndicated reruns of ATLA or LOK anymore.
>>81223077
People use this and TTGo as examples, but they forget, kids networks are based on kids, so for school hours they often post filler.
So really nick is just spngebib heavy not spongebob ruled
>>81223077
>outdated picture
This is also like the third Anti-Nickelodeon thread I've seen today.
I guess the CN shills are stepping up their efforts due to Loud House gaining steam here?
>>81225132
sexuality?
>>81232060
>company wars for fucking cartoons
You can fuck right off
If anything people that defend nickelodeon are the true shills. It went from having some of the best cartoons on tv to having nothing but hot fucking garbage
Name a show that they have made in the last 3 or 4 years that wasnt hot garbage
>>81229846
STOP
>>81232208
People like Harvey Beaks and I caught it's premiere one night after having a fucking nightmare and turning on the TV.
It was surprisingly decent, but /co/ has kinda fucked it up as le comfy cartoon! like We Bare Bears, which in turn is decent on it's own, just nothing to get excited about (well, I was for a couple episodes to an extent but I was bored too)
So HB is pretty decent, it's just not as good/popular as the other cartoons talked about on here.
Does it look like it's still alive?
>>81232338
Oh god, you had to remind me of that place.
I went there once when I was little kid. We all went on this tour where they showed us how they came up with the games for the show and we got to taste slime.
The green slime tasted like chocolate pudding. I got two spoonfuls. It was magic.
Now it's just...that building. Great.
>>81232208
>company wars are only okay when they are against Nickeloden!
>>81232421
I only ever saw the magical place a couple times on TV.
Nick used to be the coolest company in the world from a kid's perspective, shame they had to throw it away.
>>81232060
This isn't /v/ where every company and fanbase is very close to each other in the shittieness they are. Nickelodeon is considered by pretty much any animation fan to be currently leagues worse than Cartoon Network or Disney.
>>81232535
It's like the game industry, where the big companies are ready and willing to burn away all of their years of trust, quality content and consumer good will just to make a quick buck.
>>81232535
I was ondouble dareas a kid.we lost.
>>81232859
details bitch
prove it
>>81232859
What physical challenges did you do?
>>81223077
I wonder if all these anti Nick threads started because people liking Harvey Beaks, getting back into Fairly OddParents and being excited for Loud House was too much for the CNfags
If by "dying" you mean "making a fucking shitload of money with minimal effort" then yes.
>>81234247
> making money
It's being dropped from cable packages like othet Viacom networks
Last I checked Spongebob is now making abysmal ratings even as the highest rated show on the network. TTG is beating it.
>>81234599
Wow, I honestly had no idea. That's somewhat scary.
>>81234599
Nah, I dont beleive this, I remember seeing the number 1 shows lined up for 2015 for CN and Nick and CN's highest was 2 mil while Nick's was over 3 mil
Nick is 2nd best network.
>>81237888
CN is 1st
>>81223827
>>81224862
Yeah I'm thinking weekends are likely the worst. Weekdays tend to play a bigger demographic game that the weekends.
Hell Cartoon Network is worse on the weekends as well as it tends to play only Gumball, SU, and TTG on Saturday until the evening, the do reruns of the episodes they played on Saturday on Sunday. lol
>>81232859
Yea right, and im the CEO of Ubisoft
>>81226409
>pajeet and snek
HOLY SHIT IM DYING
>>81234202
No shit. They aren't even full of relevant or accurate information.
The network bashing threads like these ought to be banned just as vigoriously as the console wars on /v/. It just fosters people judging shows based on what channel they air rather than watching them and forming any sort of coherent opinion.
>>81240289

God, I've been doing a marketing internship at a this semester and I can literally hear the meetings that lead to this shit in my head.
>Let's not try to reinvent the wheel here people, if spongebob gets them in the door we need to have plenty of it
>I mean we ran that FoP KfP test last week and nobody really bit so I guess throw some spongebob in there.
>Let's schedule a test for TMNT next week and see how they respond, but let's make sure there's plenty of spongebob around it, gets the assess in the seats.
