Well he a sneak peak of the new Rocko movie from the San Diego Comic Con and Seattle (Emerald City) Comic Con.

The references in this clip are amazing and it has so many references to the past on the show.  I am thrilled to hear all the characters with the same voices too and it looks the same!  Great start and great intro for the fans of the past as well as the modern.

Definitely going to make fun of modern society and compare it to the 90s life.

^ I hadn't seen or heard of this clip!  I am now 120% more excited then before to see it!  Oh my gosh!  This is going to be awesome!  So many terrific 90's Nick memories!!!

It is a continuation I guess of the last Rocko episode?  Maybe?  I don't remember them being in space. EVER.

I vaguely recall a flash-future episode with Filburt's kids all grown up, a race of talking bananas, and an old, surly, wrinkled Ed Bighead... in space.  It's also
noted that one of them takes after "Uncle" Heffer (from him sitting on the eggs before they hatched...okay....)

[Silverwing]

Now that you mention that, I am starting to remember that too.

This network is so awful now. I turned it on at varying times and all it is is dumb live actions shows. The rest is Spongebob reruns. The network that became famous off animation has nearly no animation anymore and what they do have mostly stinks! What happened to this network? It has become like the Disney Channel and its very lame. Its trying too hard to be hip and cool.

Butch Hartman announced yesterday he is leaving Nickelodeon!  He made shows like the Fairly Odd Parents, Danny Phantom, TUFF Puppy and others. 

[FoxTail]

I grew up with his cartoons.  I wish Hartman well.

Nickelodeon announced they will have two new animated shows.

One is called "PONY." Pony has received a 20-episode order, and is the first animated comedy greenlit for the US from Nickelodeon International. The 2D series follows Annie’s everyday life as a 9-year-old, from working at her parent’s city farm (located on their apartment balcony) to homework, school friends and, most importantly, her friendship with an excitable, unpredictable, lovable talking Pony. Pony is Annie’s biggest cheerleader and best friend, although sometimes his optimism and enthusiasm lands the pair in unusual situations.

The other is a companion series to the Loud House called, "Los Casagrandes."  Working titled Los Casagrandes, a new companion series to the hit comedy The Loud House is now in development. The new show will follow Lincoln Loud’s friend Ronnie Anne and Bobby Santiago as they adjust to their new life in the city, where they now live with their big, loving and chaotic multi-generational family, the Casagrandes. In the series, Ronnie Anne will make new friends, build stronger bonds with her relatives and explore the endless possibilities city life has to offer. Bobby will help Grandpa Hector run the family’s corner store, and becomes familiar with the neighborhood’s quirky characters. The Casagrande family was first introduced in the special, “The Loudest Mission: Relative Chaos.”  Talk about Loud House overkill?

A remake of Blue's Clues is in the works.

'Relative Chaos" was what they in the biz call a "backdoor pilot".

Nick also has a new Ninja Turtles series in the works... Rob Paulsen, who lent his voice to the 1988 series as Raphael and to the most recent iteration as Donatello, will be behind the mike this time as the show's voice director. And get this... April O'Neil will get a race lift and be re-imagined as a spunky African-American girl.

I'm not sure yet what to make of this.

Nickelodeon is becoming too PC and too predictable in their actions.  They are what Disney Channel was in the 2000s.  Super bumble-gummy and artificial. 

"Los Casagrandes" sounds like nothing but a lame re-hash and ratings grab.  They have an agenda to push with this show too, just like the Loud House.

The new Ninja Turtles seems dumb.  They aren't even that popular anymore, despite the movies.  But since Nick has the license, I guess they feel they must.  Action kids shows don't get good ratings.  Fact.  I know people hate hearing that, but it's true.

Pony seems like it's been done before, just without a pony.  Possibly an attempt to grab people who like My Little Pony.

This looks promising.  A  new animated short/possible series from Nickelodeon.  Created by Celestino Marina.

[Wolfwood]

I like the animation they did there.  Very fluid and smooth.

[MasterXtreme]

I will have to give this a look-see.

[Wolfwood]

The girls design is interesting.  She has many hints of South American too.

[Wolfwood]

The new Rocko's Modern Life movie will be called, "Static Cling." apparently.
