The Nickelodeon you grew up with just isn’t the same anymore… Subscribe to our channel: http://goo.gl/ho3Hg6
When it comes to children’s programming, Nickelodeon has been a mainstay for many decades. With the debut of Nicktoons, the channel changed completely and introduced several modern classics including Ahh! Real Monsters, Rugrats, and Rocko’s Modern Life. Speaking of modern life, today’s modern Nickelodeon is missing a lot of the same things we grew up loving. But what changed?! Let’s look at some of the reasons Nick has started failing and losing viewers to so much competition.
One big reason is a lack of game shows. Back in the 1990’s, fans of Nick got to enjoy Guts, Family Double Dare, and What Would You Do?! Among other shows. Adventure Time is a huge hit for Cartoon Network, but the show was pitched to Nick multiple times and the network ultimately passed. One thing Nick invested a ton of money into was the web sensation known as Fred. Things did not quite work out as they planned and led to multiple disasters. SpongeBob Squarepants is one of Nick’s biggest successes, but the show aired so much it turned into a backlash for the network. With the rise of SpongeBob came a ton of failed shows including Planet Sheen. Today’s Nick sitcoms are extremely high concept relying on apps, superheroes, and cheap special effects. The creator of All That, iCarly, and Drake and Josh got the pink slip from Nick, completely changing the future of the network and the type of shows they pick up. Watch to see all the reasons Nick just isn’t what it used to be!
