Nick's ratings drop! I BLAME THE THINGS I DON'T LIKE!

[SaphiroAzure]

The last Nickelodeon show I watched was The Fairy Oddparents, can someone tell me if that still going? On reruns? Or completely off the air?

They're actually still making new episodes.

They're actually still making new episodes.

I'm not surprised.

I used to like Fairly OddParents, but it totally jumped the shark with Channel Chasers (the best and pentultimate FOP ever made!), and I gradually stopped watching it. The series keeps trying to end (the third Jimmy Neutron crossover was supposed to be the end for both series), but it ends up being Nickelodeon's version of Family Guy. Ironic, since Butch Hartman and Seth McFarlane often collaborated on stuff together.

I stopped watching when the baby fairy appeared. I thought that was the show jumping the shark for sure.

Channel Chasers is the best to come out of Fairy Oddparents, but Abra-Catastrophe was pretty good too. Didn't like the first two Jimmy Neutron crossovers much and never saw the third one.

^To be fair Oddparents isn't so bad. It's just kinda there.

True (and those are a good selection of shows), but in the case of CN, when Brave and the Bold is finished, I assure you, ANOTHER Batman cartoon will take its place, which you very well know. It's lo longer a matter of just milking out one show (as is the case with Batman: TAS) for ten or so seasons, it's ending one show and replacing it with another. Repeatedly.

Too many Batman shows, only now, disposable. Never mind that new Green Lantern cartoon that's coming out, let's put on ANOTHER FUCKING BATMAN SHOW!!! But after a couple of seasons, it'll be over. So what does CN do right after that? Make yet ANOTHER FUCKING BATMAN SHOW!!! It's like nothing else DC-wise matters, not even Young Justice, let alone their last really popular non-Batman show, Teen Titans.

Same deal with Ben 10. CN doesn't want to let it go. Ever. So they milk it out with yet ANOTHER ridiculous series.[/quote]
They are making another Batman(one that looks like ****) but there making it. Although it's not for the reason you're saying. Unlike Avatar Brave and Bold was canceled. It has a small following but not enough to keep it afloat. Watch the last episode it kinda explains everything and is the best damn last episode of anything ever. Things like Ben 10 they keep rebranding with a new name and putting the same thing out without regrad to ratings. They just do it for attention. In Batman's case this cartoon didn't do so good so now there making a different one not because there afraid people will stop watching Brave and the Bold but because people did stop watching. No network makes a show just for 2 or 3 seasons with the intent of stopping after that. Either the people making it don't make it anymore, like Avatar and I think Teen Titans but I'm no so sure, or the ratings weren't good enough to keep going. Good or bad if the ratings are high they'll keep making it.

Batman, Batman, Batman, more Batman, even MORE Batman, and undoubtedly more Batman to come. This guy's popularity never burns out! Just like Spongebob!

Is this a bad thing?

BTW, because I couldn't get DirecTV in my new apartment, I don't have cable TV anymore, sadly. (But I have to wonder; is it really sad?) I'm able to watch any of the Nickelodeon shows on Netflix via my PS3. Unluckily, I can't watch My Little Pony or anything from Cartoon Network. Yeah, that's the downside of it all.

There's always...illegal means. :sly: That's how I keep up with YJ.
And yes it is sad. So sad.

And yes, let's not forget iCarly! Which will probably be over when Amanda Cosgrove grows up. (And the scary thing is, Amanda has done a LOT better than most other teen idol girl actresses from other major companies! They know who they are.)

Don't you mean Miranda Cosgrove? (Which by the way looks like Macross Frontier's Ranka Lee and her VA, Megumi Nakajima, which both Miranda and Megumi sound alike in song and speak.)

What's funny is it made him cooler not knowing her name.

Slightly off-topic, but I will always and forever consider "Channel Chasers" to be the TRUE finale to The Fairly Odd Parents instead of that bullshit copout they pulled with "Grow Up, Timmy Turner."

Generator Rex, Adventure Time, Regular Show. Brave and the Bold did not do so good especially compared to those shows.


Fairy Oddparents is the most run show on that channel. They marathon Avatar sometimes but it's only on an hour a day normally and they weren't glad it ended. That's like saying "Oh thank goodness all this money stopped coming in! I didn't know what to do with it!" The creators stopped for there own reasons and there was no reason for Nick to promote it anymore. Spongebob still makes episodes so they air it more. Plus lets be honest I love Avatar but since it doesn't have that many episodes it gets repetitive. I remember when they marathoned it all summer I was getting so sick of it I was wanted to kill all the air benders just to let off steam.

And lets be real we all know Spongebob can never have all the love Nick gives iCarly and Victorious. They air these way more than Spongebob.

I can't wait for Korra now. They should have never allocated the money to Shamalahadingdong's spawn and instead did an animated continuation on the high budget on screen or retold the series like Dragon Ball :The Path to Power. There's many angles they could have gone with an animated film series, especially about what if's and explore one of them in a compelling way. That way , it keeps the audience enticed and a taste of the series. "The Promise" comics would instead be a film or two or maybe the fourth film of the trilogy as advertisement for Korra.

I've seen AT and RS but not Generator Rex. GR's like Ben 10 if it wasn't gangraped by CN execs and allowed to have continued with the same crew.

Don't you mean Miranda Cosgrove?

Yes, thank you! Yeah, I goofed on that one. (I got her mixed up with Amanda Bynes for some reason.) :redface2:

What's funny is it made him cooler not knowing her name.

I'll take that as a compliment. :laugh:

That was the live action one right? That's not canon. Especially since it did so bad.

....Yeah pretty much.
The guys that did the original Ben 10 make it. It's pretty cool but every once in a while it has those filler episodes that are just blah...
