Nickelodean Sucks!

How can children watch that shit?

Why do they use the vomit brown/yellow/green color so many damn times?!

Why do their cartoon ‘people’ look nothing like real people?

Have their story lines no integrity? have their ideas run dry into sappy stereotypical stories with no concern for the real world

Newsflash, execs: Kids (I hate the word kid. It sounds so vulgar and demeaning) do not have the power to do what ever they want. If an adult wants them to stay in school or do chres, well, they have do. Don’t fill young minds with meaningless drivel about some natural righ to not do homework. True, homework sucks from day one to college, but you hdo it anyway. that is how ou learn.

I like Anime, and nothing is wrong with fantasy, or eve a kids vs. adults platform, but for God’s sakes could you make the children more likeable and less idiotic? Seriousl, Every show my nephews/neices/little cousins make me watch just sickens me nowadays. They are not even funny nymore!

This was a bad rant. i can never make a satisfactory rant in English. IT just needs to be said. why can’t they make a single good sho for that channel? It is a childrens network, i know, but really! find something at least creatively stimulating to a child’s imagination. Eh. I need to lie down.

I don’t like Nickelodeon very much (why in MY day, Nick ruled!.. :smiley: ). But some of their cartoons are pretty cool, mainly SpongeBob SquarePants and The Wild Thornberrys.

Don’t forget Rugrats and As Told By Ginger.

Something ironic here, but I just … can’t … put … my … finger … on … it …

My big problem with Nickelodeon is N’Sync Backstreet Boys Destiny’s Child Britney Spears Pink Mandy Moore Aaron Carter Baja Men being shoved in the kids’ faces from 2:00 on. When my oldest gets home from school and gets his 1/2 hour of cartoons before homework, it’s Cartoon Network all the way, baybee.

So tough and stringy.

And those tight pants, please all they do is cut off blood to the legs and you get small meatless thighs.

I was going to say something, but after reading this line…

I realized that there’s not going to be a common frame of reference for a discussion.

i mourn “Sonic SatAm”.

ah, now that was a great cartoon. it was as good as any japanese anime, but it was home grown USA cartoon (based on a character from a japanese game, to be certain, but still…).
oh it had such a sad, sad death. so ignoble. damn network execs and the whole “violence” thing of the mid ninetys.

we need to get speaker for the dead in here.

come, speaker! speak for these long gone but not yet forgotten cartoons!

Are you sure?

I vaguely remember someone in a fan subbing group I worked for bitching about a sonic tv show that was godawful he was translating.

But then again, I worked on Digiman…
WRETCH

Why do the shittiest anime make it big in america.

Gundum, LORD of Mecha anime. WTF only two of the series, and the short ones at that and only 1 episode each day!?! They have 30 years of kick ass anime to show in this series.

DragonBall, funnier than shit with all of the profanity, sex and other assorted stuff not in the english version.
DBZ…they were cranking out the anime faster than the guy could write the manga (comics) HALF OF DBZ HAS MADE UP SHITTY PLOTS Goku in hell fighting in a tournament for his soul?! WTF!!!

DBGT shoots self with backback nuke
What I coudln’t believe is that they showed Cowboy Bebop w/o censoring it. And they actually almost translated it right.

Sonic Saturday Morning. it’s a pure, american, homegrown cartoon. sonic was voiced by jaleel white, otherwise known as ‘urkel’.

here’s the IMDB entry on it.

Sonic SatAM (sonic saturday morning) IMDB entry.

and a fansite!

Fan Site.

sonic… ehh, the one that fanboys hate is called “sonic underground”.

cowboy bebop… i agree SO MUCH!

gundam… eh. i never took to it, so i can’t say much.

dragonball… wasn’t FUNimation never a dubbing company until Gen’s uncle got the DBZ contract for them? wasn’t it like, a textiles company or somesuch?

My problem with Nickelodian is that they are owned and run by the same Media Lords who run MTV. As such, Nickelodian has the same agenda as MTV.
However, I do like Squarebob Spongepants.

and hes always spoken highly of you!

…by the fact that they air Invader Zim (fridays at 9). Zim even almost makes up for the shuddering, unholy terror that is Rugrats.

who is awaiting her very own Zim shirt’s arrival in the mail :slight_smile:

I still feel partially responsible for this abomination forced upon the kind gentle viewers of america…

Jeus sI’m stdunk. Hrrm, jesus I’m druink… dunk… drunk ther weerreeee FUCK …

Jesus I’m drunk, there we go…

SI could edxpliain more but as you can probably noticessrtet coordinations is going to poot.w

invader zim… ok, that DOES let a lot of problems off the hook, just for existing.

and CRorex…

jesus, man! don’t you know that being totally blasted should never be associated with cartoons?

[sub]unless it’s scooby-doo, of course[/sub]

one word for you:

BASTARD!!!

(The dark god of destruction)

Quite possibly the single most grat… hrrm can’t spell it

gratutitus… ous?
whatever

anime in history.

All of the main place/charaters have 80’s band names, the post is fantastic… (suck out he milky white venom and repeat)

Its a cartoon and screams to get drunk with it.

^^

Exactly! Whatever happened to “Rocko’s Modern Life” and “Salute Your Shorts” anyways!?

After Nickelodean stopped showing The Adventures of Pete and Pete and they don’t even show the reruns anymore, I knew they were going downhill.

Spongebob Squarepants is the one diamond in the pile of crap that is Nickelodean.

Although I was never a big Rocko fan I liked Salute Your Shorts. (and, in the same vein, Hey Dude). And what happened to Clarissa and Alex Mack? And Are You Afraid of the Dark? (worth watching just for when they throw that stuff on the fire!)

I’m always watching Nick when I babysit and the quality has just gone down. All these crappy new shows that say, “Look! We’re multicultural!” Like the stupid one about the Hispanic family. Or the one where they don’t know their cousin is a puppet. Honestly.

Is Doug on Nick? If so, that is one cool toon, IMHO. Meaningul, moral, the whole gamut!
