      It died when the classic Nickelodeon cartoon series were not being shown anymore on their prime time segments. Shows like Doug, Rugrats, Ah Real Monsters. I still remember way back in 2003 and 2004 when people started talking about these shows that I had no idea about. I can safely say that the late 80s and early to mid 90s was pure Nickelodeon for me. It was around the mid-2000s that I knew that Nickelodeon had died for me and I was no longer the target audience (I was in my early 20s in the mid-2000s).

    Honestly the real problem with Nick the past 7 years or so is their over reliance on Spongebob.

    When you realize how big Viacom is and you also realize that Spongebob accounts for 5% of revenue (not of Nick, but of Viacom).
    You understand why they have no incentive to stop producing more episodes even if it means a quantity over quality.
    The reason why Nick feels different today is because their content used to cater to all ages where even my older brother could watch drake and josh, icarly or spongebob and be engaged, but now their tv content is solely catered to children and that "charm" it had in it's effort to appeal to an audience of all ages is substituted with content that's more digestable and easier to understand for children.
    Children are profitable, and nothing spells this out more when a kids toy channel on youtube is making the most money.

    • @Anderino
      @Anderino 4 роки тому +15

      Mason Bee I would agree with that. I remember I stopped watching Nickelodeon around 8th/9th grade (14/15 years old). I would have quit earlier but I had a little sister who liked the reality shows and I watched iCarly because I had a giant crush on Miranda Cosgrove. Watching Nickelodeon got replaced with watching youtube, unlimited access to video games and posting on forums.
      I look at my five little cousins now, who are all boys between 8 and 15 years old, and not a single one besides the 8 year old even watches an hour of TV. They watch youtube, post on social media, play video games instead. And it's not like when I did it at their age, where I had to go to a different room and get on the family computer if no-one else was using it. They can do all of it on their phones, the family computer, or their school-issued laptop in addition to the main TV. There are just too many things competing for their attention now to sit and watch TV uninterrupted.
      Another thing to consider is the all ages appeal. I used to be able to watch shows with my little sister because they made them have jokes and appealing aspects for middle school aged me too. We could both watch Fairly Odd Parents or Drake and Josh and laugh at it. Sometimes my parents would come over and watch an episode and they generally liked it too. My dad loved Drake and Josh and Hey Arnold. With Nickelodeon's current focus, there are so many fewer shows that have that age transcending appeal. I've tried watching some current shows with my youngest cousin and didn't like it. Same with my dad when we were with him this Thanksgiving.
      It's a shame, because Nickelodeon brought siblings, and sometimes parents, in my family together to watch their shows when I was growing up. Now it can't capture that magic anymore. Whether it's market changes, platform competition or their production decisions, it's a little sad to see something I loved as a kid turn into something mediocre.

    • @MegaQuahog
      @MegaQuahog 4 роки тому +7

      @@Anderino I feel similarly. Growing up in the early-mid 2000s my go to channel was Cartoon Network and I watched almost everything they had to offer as well. Shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n Eddy, Teen Titans, Samurai Jack and others were classic masterpieces that both me and my parents could enjoy. However, by 2007-2008 all of those shows that I grew up on were all but ending and being replaced by new shows I wasn't really interested in, and I had just discovered the internet and places like UA-cam around that time, and was more interested in video games and other shit, so I pretty much stopped watching TV all together. Sure, CN has had some good shows since then (Adventure Time, Young Justice, ect) but nothing that felt nostalgic to me. And looking at the channel now after all these years there's really nothing that captures the same all-ages appeal that they used to have, it's just trying to appeal to kids too young to use the internet yet, in a desperate attempt to keep cable TV alive. It's going the same direction Nickelodeon is going.

    There really was a magic to the original Nickelodeon that just can't be explained unless you were there. I wasn't born yet when Nickelodeon was Pinwheel, but I do remember watching You Can't Do That On Television. I also was a big fan of Nick at Night and Nick Jr. What I really loved about Nickelodeon was that it grew with you. It knew when you were going to be home and what you would want to see because it knew we'd be at school while babies were at home. It was amazing.

      Actually even a lot of the "newer" stuff appealed to adults as well. I actually watched the network up until I was about... 22? 23? I forget... Anyway, around then shows like iCarly were coming to an end, and the newer stuff just didn't appeal to me. Going back to watch early seasons of iCarly is kinda hard for me, but the later seasons of the show was filled with things that would go over kid's heads. Maybe their newer shows are the same way, but I have no idea. I have no interest in them

At the same time I was moving to a whole new house/city new school etc. during the second half of 2004 and I remember just having a really tough time adjusting to everything it was scary felt like the whole world changed. Drake & Josh and Ned's Declassified were prolly the last good shows (Danny Phantom looked good, Avatar never watched but seems to be huge to the newer crowd).

    I've heard that the network definitely died after 2006. Around 2007, they've started spamming SpongeBob too much and The Fairly OddParents began to decline after Season 8. However, they did had some memorable ones around the time, like El Tirge, Mighty B!, Back at the Barnyard, Penguins and T.U.F.F. Puppy (and not gonna lie but... I actually enjoyed Fanboy and Chum Chum).

      One of the lead directors for a lot of Nickelodeon shows throughout the 2000's was a pedophile, his name was Dan, and during the beginning of e we episode of Soongebob Squarepants, which aired on Nickelodeon, starts out with "Are you ready, Kids?"
      "Aye aye, Captain!". In one of the episodes, Spongebob and Patrick get stuck in Sandy's house while it's snowing, so they kill time with a snowball fight since it was snowing in Sandy's House that day. Spongebob and Patrick start to fight with each other as to who gets to play as Dirty Dan, which can be viewed as an Easter egg to Dan's pedophilia. Does it make more sense, now? I was saying that "Are you ready kids?"
      "Aye aye, Captain!" can also be a reference to Dan's pedophilia if you have a dirty mind.

    "They have an over-reliance on Spongebob, but they've created a lot of great new shows since 1999."
    1999 was farther away than you think. Most of the shows that were listed in defense were from before 2006. Since 2006 Nickelodeon's strategy relies almost solely on Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents, and only lets Nick Jr. get new shows that last for more than half a season. Otherwise it all gets kicked to Nicktoons Network or killed outright. iCarly was the one breakout success, and they've given that weirdo hack Dan Schneider and his production company all the chances and money that should've gone to other shows.

      Nick became the NickToons juggernaut in the 90's and continued upward with shows like the Schneider-verse (All That, Kenan and Kel, Drake and Josh, ect), Spongebob, CatDog, Fairly OddParents, and Danny Phantom. Then after those shows went off air, it declined in popularity but hasn't dropped to SpikeTV or G4 levels of viewership, stagnating in limbo. It's a zombie network, not quite living but not quite dead either, feeding like a leech or lamprey off of Spongebob and the rights to their shows from the glory days.

      It's not just Nickelodeon. Look at MTV's current schedule, and MTV Classic is the least watched channel that people might have heard of. Cable's heyday has come and gone. This reminds me of shopping malls through the mid to late 90s. You might have been able to instinctively know something was changing at the time, but it was all happening while you were focused on other things. It may not be as much as they are asleep at the wheel as much as investing into new material is too expensive and risky in this uncertain transition era.
      I believe the fast downfall of cable is tied more to the recession, but practical and stable quality streaming definitely accelerated what was an already fragile expense. Society's views and jokes about cable companies from the era were not good. Slow technological progression, fast paced price increases and excruciating customer disservice allowed people to just give up when money became tight. 4K televisions have been the norm and not the exception for a long while, and yet no cable company has a line up of popular 4K channels yet.
      I can barely watch anything on cable today. CNBC and Bloomberg are good enough, but I absolutely love Fox Business. Cable started out being commercial free, and I believe many streaming services will add a budget friendly ad-supported plan as a way to compete with all the others.
      The times are changing, and the kids of today will have their own pop cultural remembrance on a platform from the future in a couple of decades. I can predict with somewhat reasonable accuracy generalisations for what will happen over the next couple of years to television, but I have no idea what kids are into now or what will happen over the course of the next presidential administration to television. I don't believe television will ever be as lucrative as it was in the mid-80s to late-90s, and it is going to hit and hurt creative writers and studious the most. The concept of programming for a 24 hour timeline is dead.

    I’ve actually gone back to watch some of the older cartoons on Nick and CN, and from what I’ve seen the quality has definitely faltered more than me just getting older. There’s still some new shows that are well animated, well written, and try to have a heart at times, but probably the biggest issue I have is their programming which for Nick is 70% Spongebob and for CN is 70% Teen Titans Go. The great ideas they show for at most a season and let them die in the background where there’s less viewership (essentially giving them the Chalk Zone/Teenage Robot treatment) and just rerunning a single show for most of their lineup. I don’t have much of a problem paying for cable again, but it’s stuff like this as to why I don’t see a reason why I would pay for something I can pick up for free with a hand-me-down antenna that gets more variety.
    Just like the music industry, there’s still good stuff being made today by talented people that audiences are asking for, the problem is that it’s being buried under all the regurgitated crap that makes it harder to find. Some have said in recent years that that kind of management is done by design to keep costs low by supplying the bare minimum, but it ruins the product as a whole regardless and hurts the franchise. Whether or not that’s the case for Nick, I do know that reruns of Spongebob for most of the programming schedule is an easy way to induce fatigue of the brand.

    • @Hamburgers4Haiti
      @Hamburgers4Haiti 3 роки тому +12

      It amazes me that Spongebob has done that since it hasn't been good since the movie when the creator retired. The first half of Season 4 was alright, I think they were still using some of the old writing points they had sidelined, but it was noticeable when it changed. I like to point specifically at "The Best Day Ever" episode as the truest start of the downfall. First three seasons are the only truly amazing Spongebob that created the shows initial popularity. Yet somehow, regurgitating mediocrity for 500 seasons or so since instead of letting the show end when it should have has proved profitable enough it seems. It's a damn shame since that seems to be one of the top reasons for Nick's creative decline, but at least we can always go back and rewatch the golden age of these networks.

    nick at nite happened to be a great idea. as a kid i watched many of those shows: dick van dyke, bewitched, i dream of jeannie, get smart, mork and mindy just to name a few. later on in life i realized why i loved them even tho they were such old shows: they were all wholesome for the most part so they also appealed to young kids. the premises were also silly/goofy. good stuff!

    It took me a couple of seconds of staring at the day at the very end to really click in my head that I am older than the person behind this channel not by much but still a wild to me not sure why. I guess I'm probably shocked that someone in my general age group on the lower side has the knowledge and the interests to look into this type of content and produce videos for multiple years so good on you

      @Harry Engel I know. I like Saberspark. He also made videos about Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network.

    The truth is we didn’t outgrow Nickelodeon. Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s their cartoons were made for all ages. Now they’ve got a new team that doesn’t have the same heart.
