![The History of Nickelodeon [UPDATED]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DKHtP5epmN8/mqdefault.jpg)
In my opinion, Nickelodeon started to fall off in the 2010s rather than the 2000s.
The video is definitely right. The network began to decline by the early to mid 00s.
I mean it was still decent in my opinion in the mid 00’s, but yeah but it also started to decline so yeah i still love the nostalgia tho
Late 2010s
Around that time I only watched Regular Show and Boomarang (before it got rebooted)
Between 2014-2016 nick was dying in my opinion
I always preferred Nicktoons over Nickelodeon's live action shows in the 90s. I did like "Cousin Skeeter" and "The Amanda Show", and I didn't mind "Kenan and Kel", but "Rugrats", "Hey Arnold", "Doug", "The Wild Thornberrys", etc were at the top of the list for me.
Same. I would watch the live shows sometimes but I was too young to really know what was going on. I have vivid memories of the dancing lobsters from The Amanda Show 😂
Yes,the 1990's-2000's were the prime of Nick.
Tbh, all live-action stuff were kinda bland compared to cartoons.
But I did love some like Elf, the Charlie Chaplin shorts, Fresh Prince and The Three Stooges.
@@kootunesscrewy I feel Nickelodeon could’ve been better if they released The Jungle Movie(Hey Arnold!’s grand finale) in December instead of airing it on the same day as Trolls:Holiday 5 years ago or put it on Netflix instead,it would’ve been more successful in ratings and they would’ve done more Nicktoon reboots and movies than giving up on them after the Jungle Movie’s disaster in tv ratings and dumping the Rocko and Zim movies on Netflix. Also,they should’ve give Harvey Beaks,Glitch Techs,and Welcome To The Wayne 3-5 seasons instead of 1-2. I still want Nick to recover from it’s never-ending obsession of screwing shows over and killing them off early on outside of SpongeBob and Loud House and turn Nicktoons back into a channel for both old and new Nicktoons reruns after NickRewind is dead,I still miss Angry Beavers,Jimmy Neutron,MLAATR,Danny Phantom,Catscratch(even if it’s creator is bad),El Tigre,and Mighty B! and Nick needs to make up for how they horribly treated them in the past with movies and reboots on Netflix and Paramount+ to give them a second chance or close their shows off and renew Glitch Techs for more seasons on Netflix or make Graphic Novels.
@@McCraeTheMediaLover I feel like now is a bad time to make new shows for these networks.
We need to just stick with indie or international if we want these shows to last longer.
In my opinion Nickelodeon didn't start going downhill until around 2010 I think 1990s-2008 were their golden years there were tons of good shows Nick had in the 2000s Invader Zim, Jimmy Nuetron, Fairly Odd Parents, Avatar The Last Airbender, Catscratch, My Life As A Teenage Robot, All Grown Up, El Tigre, Kappa Mikey, The X's, The Mighty B sadly a bunch of them were cancelled so soon and barely had a chance to shine.
I think around 2016 (probably because I grew up with early 2010’s nick)
@@JustEpic_Yt I think the early 2010s is when they started going downhill there were decent shows like Penguins Of Madagascar & T.U.F.F Puppy but on the downside SpongeBob & Fairly OddParents had gotten worse and other bad shows like Fanboy & Chum Chum & Planet Sheen were ruining the channel further but I can respect your opinion.
@@PeterGriffin11 I agree with the cartoons even though there were some good ones like tmnt, T.U.F.F Puppy, penguins of Madagascar, and Harvey beaks but has awful ones like fanboy and chum chum (which I hated when it came on) but I think the live action shows were still good but I think it went downhill in 2018 for live action and 2016 for cartoons
If I think about the early 2010’s was a bad time for animation on nick but nick just treats their animated shows horribly but live action was good and I’ll call 2013-2018 the next wave of live action shows after icarly, victorious, Sam & cat, and big time rush ended
You forgot Making Fiends
2009 was the true death of Nickelodeon's greatness, 2008 was the last good year of Nickelodeon.
08 was definitely part of the glory years! On just about all networks honesty
After avatar the last airbender ended it truly fell apart. Although there were highlights and amazing shows like I Carly victorious and 2012 TMNT but other than that Nickelodeon felt cheap and lazy.
@Jalen MLAATR ended in 2009, that was one of the final pieces of classic Nickelodeon.
@@djstarkidmashups8536Nick messed up in all those 2Ks.
No the end of Nickelodeon as we knew it was in 2004-2005 because that's when they canceled a lot of their cartoons like CatDog, Rocket power, Hey Arnold, Rugrats, etc
Like most late 90s to early 2000s kids, I don't think Nickelodeon started going downhill until 2009 or so, when shows like Jimmy Neutron were replaced with Fanboy & Chum Chum. (Well to be fair, JN was cancelled in 2006, and actually ended before it had the chance to become truly awful like Fairly Oddparents later seasons, Planet Sheen not withstanding.)
The mid 2000s were actually some of my fondest memories with Nickelodeon, and I was one of the cool kids who had Nicktoons Network, so those classic 90s shows never truly went away.
Jimmy Neutron was ahead of its time for sure!
@@intellectualdigest6003 and invades Nickelodeon better than Zim.
We all liked the old Nickelodeon shows from the 90’s and 2000’s and 2010’s. If Nickelodeon had not made them all canceled, Nickelodeon would’ve been a real blast
You know the saying. All good things must eventually come to an end.
@@intellectualdigest6003. I shall go back in time and save them and make them stay longer
@@jakemiketta3868 so you went back to the past, how did that work out for you? 😂
@@AmariMarvelous. Time travel is not ready yet but it will be soon 🔜
Geraldine LayBourne was truly a legend for Pathing the way of Nickelodeon’s legacy since the start of 90’s when it comes to Animated program especially when it comes to SNICK. Even though I never grew up in the 90’s I still remember experiencing Nickelodeon studios on television since I was just 4 yrs old.
Definitely a legend.
@@intellectualdigest6003 Fun Fact: did you know that Nickelodeon took over selwyn Elementary school at my home state in North Carolina after a 5th grader Robert brand had won the Nick takes over your school advertisement contest competition sponsored by Nick back in 1990. He even got to meet the dragon from eureeka’s castle
I think when Disney Channel and Cartoon Network started to become actual competition , Nick felt the heat and conformed
They had an epic run that’s for sure. If anything they motivated the competition up until that point
When I first heard that Nick would get around to making NFTs I was like. "Are you kidding me???!!! They are making NFT's???!!!"
Right like people were in shock
I think we all said this same thing when we heard about that.
Well it’s a good thing that Nickelodeon made a deal to make paramount +
Facts.
That’s because Nickelodeon and paramount plus is both owned by Viacom
@@jalen3666MTV and Comedy Central, too. (Unfortunately, you won't see much of South Park, aside from some movies.)
The back story of "Sailor Mouth" was extremely hilarious as Derek Drymon (the show runner for SpongeBob) told the writers a story of how as a kid he got into a lot of trouble for saying the F word in front of his mother. Which is extremely ironic considering the fact that Derek's mother has quite the sailor mouth herself.
My only gripe with Nickelodeon is that the company wouldn't let SpongeBob go!
R.I.P. Dr. Vivian Horner (1934-2022) who is Founder of Nickelodeon (Even tough Nickelodeon Fandom mever making tribute art to Dr. Horner and and keep tribute to Walt Disney who is Founder and Disney)
Also, R.I.P. Stephen Hillenburg (1961-2018) who is Creator of SpongeBob SquarePants
I think Nickelodeon started slipping off the moment they decided it was OK for their executives to sexually assault the child actors. I can’t know about that but still pretend it was such a great show. And I think it’s a little weird that even after this shit as well no we still make it seem like this is a great kids network that support kids. Instead of a bunch of adults who paid on his kids financially sexually and otherwise. It’s like we’re endorsing the rape by pretending like it didn’t happen despite the fact that it’s well known. And the fact that it was sent to people who are kids at the time just makes it extra creepy. That’s why child rapist get away with raping kids. Because it’s so unpleasant that we rather pretend like it doesn’t happen in order to allow it to continue. So that way we can keep going on with her pleasant memories. I think that makes us rapists too.
My Favorite Nick Shows Are SpongeBob (Seasons 1-4), Rocko’s Modern Life, All Grown Up!, Hey Arnold!, Fairy OddParents (Seasons 1-5 & Wishology), Avatar, Korra, Danny Phantom, Invader Zim, Jimmy Neutron, Teenage Robot, Rocket Power, El Tigre, Catscratch & ChalkZone.
RUDY'S GOT THE CHALK!!! That show was fire.
Try watching "A better schedule for Nickelodeon's main block" by Evan Rosman.
WOW. Very amazing production quality, I thought I was watching Yesterworld or a similar channel. Can't wait to see you skyrocket!
More to come!
90s and early 2000s nickelodeon was definitely the best era and i wish i could go back
You and a million other of us adult children 🥲
iCarly, Victories was good.
They even didn't care on how Stephen Hillenburg died and made knock off spinoffs that were terrible. Paul Tibbitt and many spongebob fans were so outraged that Nickelodeon treat their people like this.
Sadly, I quit watching Nickelodeon around 2005 or 2006 after some 19-20 years. By 2009 came in, everything came to a crashing halt when the beloved Nickelodeon logo replaced with a new one that is still in use as of this writing.
Yep some things will never be the same
well done :) that was a lovely trip down memory lane Clarissa explains it all and hey Arnold were my favorite shows in the 90s Kenan and Kel fantastic sitcom
I'm glad I could take you back! Always a good time going back into the time capsule.
My favorite shows were
TFOP, SBSP, TAOJNBG, Danny Phantom, ChalkZone, MLAATR and Invader Zim
I’m currently watching catdog
he said MLAATR!😅
@@zpswim9861 Yeah, the short version of ‘My Life As A Teenage Robot’
@@PizzA_TimE 😅
@@zpswim9861 There’s probably a better abbreviation, but this is the only one I know
@@PizzA_TimE not for thousands of years from now on!😅
Bruh, what do you MEAN this channel only has 300 subscribers??? The among of time and quality that went into just this video alone is mind blowing.
That means alot! I'm glad you enjoyed the watch. Stay tuned for more content.
I feel like Dan Schneider was the reason why Nickelodeon started failing because the shows were good but the fact that he sexualized kids was weird
Edit: I forgot to add this in but it was amazing that they came out that Dan did so much things to them
Btw I loved the video
Yea kind of shifted the entire feel of everything.
You are absolutely right in fact this month marks the 1 year death of Nickelodeon because that is Jeanette Mccurdy came out with her book followed by Alexa Nicole's protest against the network
@@primrosejones8406ya mean protesting against Dan Schneider
Pretty sure those orange VHS are really collectable now. I only ever watched Kenan and Kel and Rugrats on Nick.
I miss seeing lil Romeo announcing U-Pick Live 😭😭 I always love Alex Mack, the Amanda show, kenan and Kel, All that, Are you afraid of the dark, Cousin Skeeter, Drake and Josh, UnFabulous, Neds declassified, True Jackson VP and I Carly.
I remember in second and third grade when Doug and thorn berry’s use to come on in the morning time😭. My personal favorites will always be Hey Arnold, Rocket Power, As told by ginger, Invader Zim, Jimmy neutron, My life as Teenage robot, Danny Phantom and Avatar.
I haven't seen an orange VHS in FOREVER.
My life as a Teenage Robot is crying right now.
It started going down in the 2010s when they removed invader zim from reruns
I can agree with this
Very informative video. I appreciate it. I'm a 00's kid (born in 1996) so I completely missed out on Nick's golden age, but I'm thankful that I caught the silver age just in time. The early 00's was the best time for the nicktoons imo, cuz you still had 90's debuting nicktoons on like Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Rocket Power, CatDog, Wild Thornberrys, etc. on airing at the same time as the early seasons of 00's nicktoons like Spongebob Squarepants, Fairly Odd Parents, Invader Zim, My Life As A Teenage Robot, Jimmy Neutron, Chalk Zone, etc. So that early 00's era of nicktoons for me was the greatest being about 4 to 8 years old at the time, plus, I was still young enough to enjoy Nick Jr. in its face era of amazing shows like Little Bill, Little Bear, Franklin, Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Blue Clues, Dora the Explorer, etc.
I agree that 2004 up to the first half 2005 was the major shift. That was the beginning of the end for the debuting nicktoons and it hasn't been the same ever since. It's crazy how all those nicktoons from the 90's ended in 2004, combined with the classic era of Spongebob ending in 2004 as well. Hell, even Cartoon Network and Toon Disney made drastic changes in 2004 (that's a whole another conversation). But back to Nick... Danny Phantom from 2004 and Avatar from 2005 were the tail end of the good nicktoons coming out.
While you still had nicktoons from the earlier 00's on at the same time. Catscratch from 2005 was underrated, it really felt like the next Angry Beavers or CatDog... too bad it was short lived. Same with El Tigre from 2007 as well. But the vast majority of the nicktoons from late 2005 & onwards have either been cancelled too soon, huge failures or were just spinoffs of already existing properties. Loud House is the only iconic original nicktoon created after Avatar. That's why so many Paramount Plus shows are just remakes of already existing properties because so many of the nicktoons created in recent years have failed miserably.
As far as the sitcoms go, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, Ned's Declassified, iCarly, etc. were the highlights for me, when I was roughly 8 to 12 years old. I actually think the sitcoms from the mid to late 00's were an improvement from the late 90's to early 00's ones like Cousin Skeeter, Tiana, 2nd wave All That, Amanda Show, etc (which might be an unpopular opinion). I feel like only Kenan & Kel was the mount rushmore of that era. This was a time the nicktoons were going downhill (while there were still some good ones like Danny Phantom or Avatar) although the sitcoms were strong for me. Once Avatar ended in 2008 combined with the logo change in 2009, the network's been totally dead to me. iCarly and The Legend of Korra were all that was left for me past the logo change in 2009, while everything else has been trash ever since. But that's my perspective on Nickelodeon from me growing up in the 00's!
Bro you didn’t miss the golden age, all of those that you mentioned was PEAK nick era! It brings back crazy nostalgia honestly. Actually i LOVED cousin skeeter lol it was so different for it’s time. Long story short Nick in the 2000’s was undefeated, kids will never know what they missed
ICarly was my Time. Greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪👍🏻
So you're not even going to mention the Dan Schneider scandal
Yea i probably should have touched on it huh
Nickelodeon did not fail. It didn't reach Disney levels, hit that doesn't mean it failed. Nickelodeon did well and made a lot of money.
He got a point tho
It's funny how you don't talk about mention that Dan Schnider scandal
When you brought up the thing about post-terrorism social awareness, I got to thinking the problem is, we're TOO aware. Maybe for the medium altogether. We've made 'awareness' into the very measure of who isn't sexist-racist-terrorist and who is and it's taken so seriously it's where we don't feel we need to weigh any part of it. So pre-occupied with preventing the mistakes of the past. "Never his mind on _where he was_ ! Hmm! _What_ he was _doing_ !"
I miss Action League Now. That show was ridiculous and I love it.
I grew up in the 2000’s. All I watched was Zoey101, Drake and Josh, ICarly, Big Time Rush, and Victorious. It might have declined for you but they were great to me.
Yea those weren't too bad, but definitely couldn't keep up with any of the older shows.
Go watch the Hulu Nick documentary. In there they state that the 90s are looked at as the Golden age of Nick. You know why the 00s aren't? Because that's when it began to decline. That's not just his opinion but the overall consensus.
The Family Channel still airs "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"(as well as "Goosebumps") in Canada.
Mannnnnn as a kid i couldn’t watch either of those shows without every light in the house being on
Spongebob is also one of my favorite show from Nickelodeon and the Legend of Korra is last good Nickelodeon Show
while Loud House is my least favorite Nickelodeon Show
SpongeBob carried Nick on its back for a while. Either you absolutely loved it, or absolutely hated it. No I’m between
As a Millennial,(Born in '87) I watched Nickelodeon religiously from the early 90s 'til somewhere in the mid 2010s. Another problem is the network has severely lacked variety for YEARS. Something it had plenty of in the 90s and 2000s. Although TV is slowly dying, it's sad this once great network is shell of what it once was.
It is very sad to see.
I just read Fandom and there is only less than 30 remaining shows on nick
Rip old friend
RIP
saying the dead squirrel is Sandy is diabolical 😂😂
😂😂😂 welcome to the show my brutha
🎵On de low hop Nick, On de low hop Nick Nick, On rikki tikki tow low no #1 Nickelodeon!"🎵. YTV was the only channel I had when I was a kid that played Nickelodeon. My favorite NickToons were Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats, Rocko's modern life, the angry beavers, Catscratch, Guts, Danny Phantom, Spongebob & Doug (honorable mention to the 2012 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series).
🔥🔥🔥
I've never seen or heard of Pinwheel before.
1977 pretty old.
that double dare is the 2018 version not the 1987 version
Nick was made in april fools? Now I know why it's so S-H-I-T!
Failed? Isn't it still going after like almost 50 years?
Save Nickelodeon forever
I haven’t watched Nick on a regular basis since iCarly ended.
Yea, one of those things that just wont be the same unfortunately.
I grew up on Nickelodeon from about the 80s to the early '90s. After the mid-'90s, I got too old to watch it and thought the '90s were a mess and I prefer the '80s rather than the '90s then, again, I'm in my mid-40s.
Are you REALLY ever too old to watch Nick bro? lol sometimes i enjoy the nostalgia
Truth be told I used to watch Hey Arnold one of the Nickelodeon channels last year until they stopped running it.
Man, Hey Arnold is timeless!
It's surprising that very few clips of Nickelodeon's early shows exist online
Very true, would have expected more content on it
It failed due to cooperate greed
Seems like that’s almost always the case after you reach a certain point.
I came back to the Nickelodeon Fandom recently due to the direction of Indie animation (god I fucking hate content farms) because of Rock Paper Scissors and the new FOP reboot
Rock Paper Scissors brought me back to Nickelodeon, but it didn’t last long unfortunately.
@@forrestannis909 I basically gotten back to the Mainstream Cartoon Fanbase because I hated Internet Brainrot
The reson it fell apart is because the network lost taste with talent political correctness and the advantages of social meadia. Disney and Cartoon Newton went through the same
I even remember the live action shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark, The secret life of Alex Mack, Figure It Out, All That, The Amanda Show, Kenan and Kel, U Pick Live 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I miss seeing lil Romeo announcing U-Pick Live 😭😭 I always love Alex Mack, the Amanda show, kenan and Kel, All that, Are you afraid of the dark, Cousin Skeeter, Drake and Josh, UnFabulous, Neds declassified, True Jackson VP and I Carly.
Are You Afraid of the Dark used to creep me out.
I wish I grew up in the 90s just to experience these shows. 2000s we’re good, especially the sitcoms, but the shows did not have the same charm.
The 90s were a time! Grab a big ass bowl of cereal and watch old nick cartoons lol you’ll feel young again
You should watch "A better schedule for Nickelodeon's main block" by Evan Rosman.
You can see that in the thumbnail, SpongeBob is crying because it’s all his fault that Nickelodeon failed when he first came.
LOL poor SpongeBob
A few things really did it in mostly massive blocks of that freaking yellow sponge, shuttering its studio in Orlando and with that killing off a massive amount of merchandise, and trying to follow the Disney formula with sitcoms and branching off its biggest stars into musicians. It just rang hallow after a while.
Yea, I’d have to agree here
I did watch a live taping of Double Dare 2000 I think it was, being the 7 year old me going on 8 that was quite the experience. My sister and I did get slimed from the slime fountain right outside the studio, that was rather funny.
You got slimed??? that was literally every kids dream
they treated fairly oddparents like shit and canceled the show 5 times, shame on them thats why Butch Hartman left their asses.
I actually enjoyed Fairly Oddparents too
The rebrands of the big 3 kids channels from 2009-10 is what made them drop off. I think Nickelodeon never tanked, but our childhood did. Some people could make the same video on how The Thundermans, Sam & Cat, and Henry Danger was peak Nick or iCarly, Victorious, The Troop was peak Nick the same how you could say the same on All That, Ren & Stimpy, and Clarissa Explains It All. It’s just based on what we grew up on.
Yea everyone’s “peak” is different for sure. But i will say that OUR peak cartoons in the early/mid 2000’s is what most viewers revert back to when thinking prime Nickelodeon.
Noobees? That's actually a telenovela from the 2010s and it never aired in English speaking countries.
You actually meant Noozles, the 80s anime.
This guy speaks the truth louder than anyone I've ever known. You are quite the enthusiast when it comes to the history of Nickelodeon. So many things has been covered that I remember as a kid growing up but I didn't stop watching Nick till I was in the middle of or was about to graduate high school in between 2006 to 2009. I never went to the hotel or studios of Nickelodeon but I think it was for the best because me and my family had a lot going on in our lives so we weren't able to go on vacation like that. But going down memory lane with you on this feels like we got to travel back through time without a time machine.
Thanks Brock! I try my best to trigger that nostalgia & give an in depth rundown. I’m glad you enjoyed the content man, it’s people like you that i do it for! Means a lot
@@intellectualdigest6003 You're welcome. I'm glad you did.
I wish the whole series of pinwheel would get uploaded all 260 episodes
@@schemer1991 That would be nice. I never really grew up with pinwheel because it was before my time. But it would be nice to see them uploaded.
The old Nickelodeon logo to me was nostalgic. I miss it very much. I don't like the new logo. The only reason why I love nickelodeon is really because of SpongeBob.
SpongeBob was definitely a Nick staple. Still is actually
SPLAT LOGO IS BACK
25:54 Loud House did a whole epsiode about cursing and it was censored the whole episode.
And now with quiet on set.
Nickelodeon is OVER,over.
Salute your shorts. Pete and Pete.
The kid show I love to see again is aaaaaa real monster
This was a good one! I liked the monster that held both of his eyeballs in his hands.
What did beat Nickelodeon was Disney.
Might have to drop a Disney video next
One thing that got left out of this video is in the 20th century, Nick would air lots of classic kid friendly shows during the day like Dennis The Menace, Lassie, Patty Duke Show, and The Brady Bunch. Nick would air 30 minutes of a show and then move on to something else. The shows never got stale. In the 21st century, the classic shows were gone and Nick would air 2-3 hour blocks of the same show. When Nick-At- Nite began, they would air shows from 8PM-1AM, then reair the same shows from 1AM-6AM. In the late 2000s, Nick-At-Nite was airing shows that were not kid friendly or classic. There were many kid friendly shows in the 80s that seemed to have been skipped over. The programs got worse over time.
Most definitely
You Can't Do That on Television was the origin of the green slime, but it wasn't a game show. It was comedy sketch series from Canada.
I used to wonder what the slime tasted like as a kid.
1981 was also when Nickelodeon picked up the show, it went just a _couple_ years farther back elsewhere though.
1 word. SpongeBob.
Lol SpongeBob kept them afloat for a while though
@@intellectualdigest6003 It kind of was their curse though. The network knowing that it could just air SpongeBob nonstop and still get ratings has caused them to keep making awful content.
No Cousin Skeeter, My Brother And Me, Tiena or however you say it, The Brothers Garcia?

90s and 2000s were the golden age the 2010s fell off completely cause of shows ending like I Carly and victorious and Nickelodeon animation has gotten lazier because of SpongeBob being there biggest money maker. Nickelodeon made super great cartoons when growing up. Cartoon Network is my #1 childhood but also Nickelodeon too both my #1.
Facts! Never even thought about SB making the whole network complacent being that it was so huge
@@intellectualdigest6003 Fun fact did you the creator of SpongeBob Steven Hillenburg wanted to end the show after the first film but obviously Nickelodeon refuse to let go of there biggest cash maker so of course more SpongeBob. The first 3 seasons of SpongeBob were amazing but after the first film the rest of the seasons fell off. And there’s the SpongeBob universe that Hillenburg did not wanted for sure.
SpongeBob went to complete poop after the SpongeBob movie in 2004. After that, the animation style changed and the episodes were just weird
is season 1, season 2, and season 3 better?
i think the season 6-7 episodes are weird
the season 10, 11, 12 and 13 episodes are even weirder

I used to want to be on that show so bad.
Me, i dont know why it lasted so short
Sooo...did Nick at Nite START the 50s nostalgia era of the mid-late 80s or was it in RESPONSE to 50s nostalgia? Interestingly, the first Back to the Future movie went back to 1955 for that reason...AND correctly predicted in the second movie that by 2015, 80s nostalgia would be just as if not more popular.
my favorite old show is Seinfeld
Good old Nick @ Night
as an Australian 90s and early 00s kid Nickelodeon was cable only like in the states, so i only saw what Nick sold to ABC things like Rugrats Wild Thornberries Alex Mack and even as a teenager Fairly OddParents were very enjoyable..........then everything changed when the live action shows attacked our commercial networks in 2006-10
Yea man growing up Nick was the best escape as a kid! Nowadays i don’t think they have anything like it
@@intellectualdigest6003 Kierain must've enjoyed Yakkity Yak there.
I too used to visit my grandmother & stay up as late as possible watching Nick At Nite.
Never had any Nickelodeon merchandise or toys from any cartoons I watched in the 80s or 90s.
I definitely remember the popularity of puppets in the 80s. I was still fond of Eureeka's Castle in Jr. High.
Recently rewatched all of Hey Arnold including both movies. Still holds up as an adult.
Nick in my eyes holds the title for that real nostalgia! I could go back and binge hey Arnold and smile the entire time
I predicted that Paramount would bring back the rights to SuperMan from Warner Bros. Discovery.
Well while it isn't accurate, it may became true now that Warner Bros having talks to Paramount about merging together.
There could be one thing, we're saved!
I hope that Superman would save Nickelodeon from it's downfall.
But it would be a little too late.
As within a few years, Nickelodeon as a network would closed down and Superman would go into the public domain.
So in this case, this might be the last chance for Superman to save Nickelodeon.
Because I still have faith in the channel and my answer has been pled.
Let’s see if it can save the day!
is this an Ai ran channel?
Nope, not even! But my original voice guy when i first started the channel almost a year ago just couldn’t give me the upbeat tone that i needed. Hope you still enjoyed the content tho!
The ratings for the kids choice awards 2023 was 3.1 million viewers with the nickelodeon network ratings and the cable tv ratings and the splat logo is back in new version
Nick had the best kids based commercial’s also.
Yea i think the commercials in general back then were way cooler
I’ve started watching Nickelodeon in 2002 just before Jimmy Neutron first premiered. To me I’ll say that Nick started to go downhill in 2009 once the rebrand happened and at that point I’ve started to watch Nickelodeon less. I’ve stopped watching the channel completely once Legend of Korra ended in 2014.
Yea it’s never been the same man
Nicklodeon should've obey the creator's suggestion to not make Spin off 3D Spongebob and continue the series, previous seasons were better when mr. Hellenburd were still alive, current seasons are so disgusting, and scary.😔
Yea, it truly sucks when original creators pass away and the show goes down the drain.
So it’s what is going bad in the 2004
Dead Squairrel = Sandy NOOOOOOOO!
Nooooooo 😂
You can't do that on television wasn't a gameshow.
No, I think it started to fall in the 90s
No way
We all know it's not the popularity of SpongeBob's fault.
Facts!
I feel like he was teaching a lesson
I told you😀😀😀
Nickelodeon in Florida was sad that they when they abandoned the studio.
Yea that Nick studio was literally the epitome of a fun childhood!
I don't even watch Nick anymore. I hardly see any of the cartoons on there, all I see are those crappy sitcoms that are incredibly unfunny and unappealing to me.
And I'm so pissed that some of my favorite cartoons have been canceled and have just plain DISAPPEARED from the channel. I remember a show called 'Dorg Van Dango' or something like that, I really liked the show and its art style. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, it completely disappeared. Same thing happened with Ollie's Backpack. I was so happy to see these new cartoons on a channel infested by unfunny sitcoms but soon disappeared without warning.
Oh and my favorite retro cartoons are Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron, SpongeBob (earlier seasons) and Fairly Oddparents (earlier seasons)
I think we all hated watching our favorite cartoons go poof. Jimmy Neutron doesn't get enough credit!
you also said the same thing twice
Im a millennial (born '86). I cherish that i got experience Nick through it's golden years. The 90s was truly a great
time to be a kid.😢
Truly an amazing time
I wonder how much time nick has until their collapse? Maybe 2 or 3 years more
I think they can keep it going for quite some time honestly. They still have running shows and I’m sure a new demographic of kids that probably love nick the same way we once loved it. We had nick in its prime, and just have to accept the fact how much the creativity/quality has declined since we were tuned in.
watch "A better schedule for Nickelodeon's main block" by Evan Rosman.
Stick Stickley is voiced by Moose A Moose
My favorite nicktoons is ren and stimpy
Ren & Stimpy definitely was a good one!
I'm expecting this channel to blow up in a year, just like another video essayist UA-camr "Just an Observation " 😁😂😁😂😂😁😂
Yeah I Started to tune out Nickelodeon around the same time as that charted decline in 2004 just like I did the Disney Channel in 2002. I was introduced to Nick in 1996 as a kindergarten watching Nick Jr. enjoying Blue's Clues, Gullah Gullah Island,and Little Bear. As for Nicktoons Rugrats was my favorite, Ahh... Real Monsters, Kablaam (yes I rembember Action Leugue Now, Life with Loopy and Prometheus and Bob, ohh and Sniz and Fondue segments) Hey Arnold and of course Spongebob. Thank goodness Nick launch their sister channel Nicktoons TV which became Nicktoons Network in the mid 2000s and now just Nicktoons. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I miss seeing lil Romeo announcing U-Pick Live 😭😭 I always love Alex Mack, the Amanda show, kenan and Kel, All that, Are you afraid of the dark, Cousin Skeeter, Drake and Josh, UnFabulous, Neds declassified, True Jackson VP and I Carly.
"So long, Farewell, to you my friends" man Gullah Gullah Island was top tier.
