What is wron with Nick today????


Seriously, every show on nick is complete crap. I used to watch the rugrats and they don't even show that anymore. Just that dumb all grown up series. Bring back the classic nick with shows like Roundhouse, Doug, Are you Afraid of the dark, Salute your shorts, and Welcome Freshman.

reply

YES! i totally agree...the only thing i watch on nick is spongebob..everything else is just crap! im 22 and when i was younger there were sooo many great shows on, like original snick shows, original nicktoons, salute your shorts, welcome freshman, GUTS! lol, heck i even watched what would you do?...sigh nick is so crap nowadays

reply

couldn't agree with you guys more!!! roundhouse was such a quality show, as well as salute your shorts and are you afraid of the dark. nick is such CRAP now--i'm sick of all the condescending, neo-hippie cartoons they air!

reply

I remember a few months ago (possibly over the summer) they were running salute your shorts for a while. I forgot how good that show was. I agree, most of the shows they have on now are crap. Most of them portray the "cool" kids only and beat on the "uncool" kids. Granted this probably appeals to the largest audience, but it continues the cycle.

For some reason I hated all of Marc Summers' shows (double dare, what would you do) but I watched them anyway because they were better than anything else that was on!

I still find it funny that I wasn't allowed to watch the show "Fifteen" because I was only 10 or something lol!

I was a freaky Roundhouse fan. I would wear certain clothes while watching it, and try to emulate the segue dances. I soooo wanted to be on that show! And Clarissa too! MJH rawks!

reply

i HATED marc summer's shows! i never lyked double dare, so how could i possibly lyk family double dare? and what would you do? lame! but i would sit there glued to my teevee just to be watching nickelodeon cause it rocked.

i vaguely remember 'fifteen' i remember enough to know it exsisted, but not enough to know what it was all about...it was too 'mature' for me

my brothers and i always watched roundhouse. we would act out skits and i (being the only gurl) would be some crazy back-up dancer, trying to be all hip-hop and cool....those were some of the best times of my life man....*^_~*

reply

Ya agree totaly I'm 18 so my memory of most of theses shows arnt the best but I do remeber getting yelled at every saturday for sneaking out to the front room to watch them. I dont watch nick anymore and I would love to see the original nick shows to come back.

reply

I miss all of the shows I used to watch when I was younger(I am 22now)!! I thrived on Roundhouse, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude. They don't even have any of the good cartoons on anymore (Doug & Rugrats) I wish that they would either put these shows back on or release them on DVD!! Maybe we need to write mass amounts of e-mail and snail mail to the Nick execs..

*cries* i know! cuz you know their current programming is soo cool for anyone under the age of 10..what about those older than that who would most likely watch it if they brought back classic nick shows, even better a channel just for those shows

reply

Is it just me or is SpongeBob not that funny. I miss MY Nick shows! We need to start a petition to get the Nick of Olde back or at least a classic Nick channel!

reply

thank-you for acknowledging that the show welcome freshman existed! i had such a young gay-boy crush on the geeky guy. was his name merv? comedy!

"Ninja kick the damn rabbit!"

Seriously Nick is so lame now!! I miss all those great shows everyone mentioned. I think they should have a classic Nickelodeon marathon. I would be GLUED to the TV. I'm 22 going on 23 and I literally grew up watching all those great shows. I think it's squeaky wheel time people...let's get those shows back on the air!!!

reply

exactly im 22 almost 23 and i spent HOURS watching tv...now i spend hours on the comp trying to find anything on rh lol

I'm right there with you guys. Same age and I'd give almost anything to watch a marathon of old school Nick(I also look up stuff on the web, all stuff from my childhood though, not just Nick stuff). We were quite a lucky generation when you look at the garbage that's fed to the kids these days.

Good to see the 1982ish generation reminisicing about the 'good old days'. I have a hard time finding other people my age who care about that kind of thing...and especially on IMDB where most posters reminiscing about the past are born around '89.

reply

Are we turning into our parents - reminiscing about the good ol' days of SNICK and other Nickelodeon favorites?! I am 23 and just made the mistake of switching from Direct TV to digital cable. While looking for something to watch, I came across GUTS and got all excited, thinking the other classics would be on, but of course they weren't.

reply

I was reminiscing the other day back to when Nick had quality TV shows and none of the nonsense it has now. I got a little bit sad. Lots of memories there. I know that the Nicktoon station has some of the old shows but I really miss Afraid of the Dark and Salute Your Shorts, Pete and Pete, Clarissa, Roundhouse...I grew up watching that stuff. I'm 20 years old now and I miss them like nothing else.

reply

*beep* NICK, I want my old cartoons back!

reply

I totally agree with everyone. I absolutely loved to watch Snick every saturday night. I am 26 now and I swear if they showed Are you afraid of the dark? and Roundhouse I would be glued to the tv set. Iloved Pete and Pete, and Doug, the old Rugrats.. and they tried to stay coolwith Rocko'smodernlife, but then they took all the hidden dirty jokes out and it turned crap. Now when i look back on half ofthese shows i get all that double meaning that I didnt understand was there when i was a kid , and it cracks me up!I think iwould actually have abetter time watching it now than back then.

I still have a personal grudge with All That! because it replaced Roundhouse. I had such a mad crush on Ivan Dudynsky, so when i found out the show was cancelled my little teenage heart was broken :*( ( cant you hear the echo of the violins? lol)

The only new show i can say kind of caught my attention cartoon wise was As Told by Ginger, but i think thats over too. They have that nicktoon channel but they dont show the old shows..and btw when Disney picked up Doug, they totally ruined the original concept thank you very much.

reply

They used to show the old shows on Nicktoons, but then they had to change it over to the Nicktoons Network (which is quite annoying now-with that irritating music and those stupid commercials (he has an unnatural obsession with the Fairly Oddparents). The channel has become a second Nickelodeon-they're supposedly going to air every New Nicktoon on it now. If they take Rocko off, I will be very upset! Thats the only reminder of old school nick on that channel! (Plus Ren and Stimpy). And I did tape all my favorite Doug episodes before they HAD to kick it (and Tiny Toons, Ginger, Animaniacs (I never really watched that show anyway) and other old shows) off the network and replace it with total crap (My dad is a rock star, Martin Mystery, Avatar, Teenage Robot. . .)

Just like Youtube. They delete all the good stuff, and leave all the innappropriate stuff on the website. WHAT THE HECK!

Awhile ago, I enjoyed watching a whole bunch of Here's Lucy episodes on that website, and they deleted it because of stupid copyright infringement. But they don't bother to delete the dirty, inappropriate videos? That is really messed up!

I so know what you mean! I was broken hearted over David Sidoni. I HATED All That! No hot guys, no awesome dance moves, no 'falling out of your seat laughing' moments. It was just lame!

reply

"and btw when Disney picked up Doug, they totally ruined the original concept thank you very much"

OMG i have been waiting like all my life for someone to agree with me on this!!!! I loved doug and disney murdered it!! it would be great to see all those old shows again from when kids programming was quality and not just part of some grand marketing scheme.

reply

These kids today have no idea how funny and amazing Nick used to be. Ah, how I long for the good old days. Maybe someday they will show these old shows on TVLand or something.

reply

With Nick giving up on Nick GaS as a channel they seriously need to put some effort into a "Classic Nick" channel...since the Nicktoons Channel plays a bunch of the new stuff that still sucks.
