good that vicky gag is still there tho[/QUOTE]
That's because it's the VAs, Nick was too cheap to even hire anyone.
Nick used to feel like a serious competitor back in the day, now they're a joke, and the 'Life Support Network' is a pretty fitting name.
I checked, and y'know what's the oldest cartoon show currently being made by Cartoon Network? [I]Adventure Time.[/I] And that's only 5 years old. Nickelodeon's oldest show, as I'm sure you're aware, is Spongebob, clocking in at 17 years old. And the newer stuff they put out is just a load of hot garbage nobody cares about.
But they pretty much put themselves in this situation, y'know? Like imagine if Fairly Oddparents and Spongebob were cancelled tomorrow. The network would fucking die. Because nobody gives half a shit about 'Sanjay and Craig'.
Gonna be edgy and say Fairly Odd Parents was never really that good to begin with. Always felt like they went with quantity over quality with jokes, kind of like a proto-Johnny Test.
You gotta wonder how Avatar managed to avoid being milked.

the formula for every single fairly odd parents episode was to take a stupid little joke and repeat it at least 3 times throughout the episode
Another shame about this show is how much Cosmo has changed since the first season. He went from a slightly incompetent well meaning cool dude to just... a dumbass who destroys everything in his path through sheer stupidity. His VA changed how he does the voice as well which is weird.
This whole show is just fucked :v:

All Grown Up was a steaming pile of shit
[QUOTE=Zuimzado;49628919]You gotta wonder how Avatar managed to avoid being milked.[/QUOTE]
It got good critical reviews, but didn't really have the numbers in comparison. Didn't help that Nick did little to no advertising about Korra.
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;49628938]All Grown Up was a steaming pile of shit[/QUOTE]
I remember liking one episode involving getting lost in a mine and ghosts or something.
Rest was a pain to watch.
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;49628938]All Grown Up was a steaming pile of shit[/QUOTE]
How bad was it? I didn't really think it was bad back then. I thought it was okay at best :v:
[QUOTE=usaokay;49629020]That was a travesty.
The series was pretty good, but it lacked the charm of Aang's adventure.[/QUOTE]
Its a good series but it has 'we were only supposed to six epsiodes' written all over it as the writing and plot were not nearly to the polish, charm and emotional impact that the original Avatar did.
At least the Simpsons changed their intro in the newer seasons. Only now Nick or whoever decides to change it. I don't think Vicky's even in the show anymore. She and the idiotic parents were the driving force for Timmy being miserable and needing Godparents. Now he's just making himself miserable. Glad I decided to stop watching after Channel Chasers, the true finale.

To think that this is the same guy who does all of the Arnold impersonations, Timmy's Dad, Gordy from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, and Knockout the "Camp Gay Robot" from Transformers: Prime. Dude got a bit of range when he does act his best.
Best in-joke I can remember besides all the Weasel sketches:
Cookie: So, do you think the new Lisa's hot?
Gordy: Um...I can't answer that, due to the fact that I'm [I]forty[/I].

Dunno man, Korra is good but It doesn't have a set plot like the original did.
Fairly Odd Parents is still better then the live action shows Nick keeps making for some reason.
It's like they only keep Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents alive to remind us that they made good content at one point. Not trying to sound like "a 90s kid" But Nick really is just a shell at this point.

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49629904]Dunno man, Korra is good but It doesn't have a set plot like the original did.[/QUOTE]
This is such a huge flaw with Korra. I know it was originally intended to be a couple of episodes, but when they got the go ahead to make it more than a few episodes you'd think they'd rewrite some things considering the huge following they already had. I'm pretty sure the original series was only greenlit for like 13 episodes but it still had a huge overarching plot that was completed amazingly at the end, despite their constant uncertainty of whether they'd be renewed for another season.

So since we are on the topic of Nicktoons. That Nicktoons movie that is being made got a director

Sorry about the sources. Not sure what is a good one or not. But there are plenty of other websites reporting on the same thing.
So don't expect Spongebob or Fairly Odd Parents to go anywhere anytime soon if Nick decides to renew a bunch of their old shows because of this.

Yeah, the sharks already eaten up this show.
Man imagine if 14-17 years ago you were told that the Disney Channel would one day have infinitely much better cartoons than Nick.
This new intro screams "we've run out of ideas" like no tomorrow. And why has everybody else been phased out?
[QUOTE=RenegadeCop;49628850]I thought nick was all about generic laugh-track sitcoms, they still have cartoons?[/QUOTE]
They had to tone it down with the sitcoms because Dan Schneider was becoming a huge money sink.
Speaking of Dan Schneider,(and i'm sorry for saying this, but it's true) Dan Schneider is the Adam Sandler of sitcoms.
You gotta wonder what the hell is going on in Nick's HQ.
CN and Disney have been getting relatively great shows recently, meanwhile Nick just... wtf happened to Nickelodeon?
Nickelodeon use to have so many great and unique shows back then, but now they're left with new mediocre/bad shows and they're still milking old shows like FOP and Spongebob.
Like holy shit how did this channel go so low?

Their biggest ideas now are bringing back Hey Arnold! and As Told By Ginger.
Because As Told By Ginger is totally one of the more recognizable cartoons of Nick's past.
