Why is Nick so Popular

dfrXtreme · 04-14-2007, 05:49 PM

I dont get why pretty much every kid in the US knows what Nick is. NOT THAT GREAT!

bmfer · 04-14-2007, 07:14 PM

it is good tv, and go to my cn vs. nick forum dfrXteme.

Because it appeals to the younger crowd, which you obviously aren't a part of. I must admit, it hasn't been all that good these past few years, but as long as it's getting millions of views, they'll stay on the air.

You might want to start calling it "Nickelodeon," by the way, because it almost confused me for a moment.

yea it hasnt been good for the past few years i tottally agree, nick when downhill after about 2002 in my opinion.

dfrXtreme · 04-14-2007, 07:42 PM

I mean I used to like it like in the 90s mostly, but after 2000, i stopped watching it

There is already a huge discussion on Nick vs Cartoon Network right here: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...t=51436&page=5.

Perhaps you should check that out.

dfrXtreme · 04-14-2007, 07:55 PM

Or it could be that you've out grown it?

When I was a kid, Nickelodeon was the only true kids network, so I used to watch it a lot. When I was 13, our cable company picked up Cartoon Network and that soon became my favorite network...but I out grew that too. Now I watch Adult Swim. I don't think that it's so much a matter of Nickelodeon being any worse that it was, the network just has to cater to a new audience.

MTV on the other hand has become a f*cked to death smoldering pile of sh*t.

This is true, there are many shows that we may grow out of. I may be one of the very few that liked the many shows that got cancelled, specifically Hey Arnold!, but after its cancellation, it turned me off. Sure, the series couldn't really host new episodes after the movie, but that didn't stop it from being a good show.

If I manage to find my away around Dish Network, I'll see if I can find some classic channel or something.

edit: I have to agree with you on MTV. I hear that they've screwed up G4 as well.

The only really good show on Nick is Avatar the last airbender. All the other shows suck.

No...its not...

They cut out the good shows. Catdog, Hey Arnold, Rugrats, Invader Zim, Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy. All of those shows had that double inuendo that you sorta laughed at.

Cartoon Network also went downhill when they got rid of Dexters Lab, it just sucked.

Therefore, we keep our focus on Comedy Central. Let's hope that doesn't get screwed up either.

You can find Catdog, Invader Zim, Rocko and Ren and Stimpy if you have Nicktoons.

gamewiz0 · 04-16-2007, 08:34 AM

Ah, Comedy Central has already been infiltrated by some bad shows...

Halfway-Home?
Sarah Silverman Show? Blech!

btw, I love that bouncing cleavage...

Chief0678 · 04-16-2007, 03:05 PM

Everybody who watches Nick watches the comedy of Drake and Josh, Ned's Declassified, or...... Spongebob.

Agreed on both subjects.

Drake and Josh is good but just seems weird, Ned's is rather cheesy, and......I guess Spongebob is decent. You can't help but love him.

AriesMalvis · 04-16-2007, 05:50 PM

i love spongebob <3

i miss doug...which started to suck after the movie came out
and hey arnold
and all the shows from when i was really young
and the game shows
like family double dare, gas, what would you do?

purebloodtexan · 04-16-2007, 05:51 PM

Some of the old shows can be found on Dish Network.

i agree that MTV has gone WAY downhill, but the new show "Scarred" is really cool in my opinion

AriesMalvis · 04-16-2007, 06:27 PM

scarred is an awesome show, i agree

i hate the shows that seem like all they want to do is break ppl up
or mess around with ppls heads
like exposed, parental advisory, and that one spring break show they had
