This network is a shell of it's former self.

It's because they are not producing quality animation like they used too and are focusing on junk live action shows.

Let me name off to you the garbage they are current showing on their network.  Only Spongebob is recognizable.  Everything else is garbage and live action. 

SpongeBob SquarePants

Henry Danger -live action
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -meh
Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn -live action
School of Rock - live action
See Dad Run -live action
Sanjay and Craig - do I need to say anything about how bad this is?
Breadwinners - Equally horrible.
Voltron Force - no.
Pig Goat Banana Cricket -heck no.
Rabbids Invasion - garbage.

They also have the under appreciated "Harvey Beaks," which is actually pretty decent.  It takes the viewer to a simpler time where things are still innocent and no need for screaming just for the sake of screaming.

They also have, "The Loud House."  Haven't watched it. 

For the first time in a long time, Nickelodeon's live action shows outnumber their animated shows.  Making the same mistake that CN did years ago. 
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-08-03 12:25:32
I'm going to look at the ratings real quick here with ye all.

Animated

Spongebob Squarepants - 1.9 million to 3 million.  (Based on season 9)

Fairly Odd Parents - 1.2 million to 2.2 million.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 1.4 million to 1.6 million.

Harvey Beaks - 1.1 million to 1.6 million.

Pig Goat Banana Cricket - Less then a million to 1.3 million.  (This will get cancelled)

The Loud House - 1.7 million to 2.2 million.


Live Action

Henry Danger - 1.3 million to 2 million.

Nick, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn - 1.5 million to 2 million.

The Thundermans - 1.5 million to 2.4 million.

Make it Pop - 1 million to 1.3 million.

Game Shakers - 1.3 million to 1.6 million.

School of Rock - 1.1 million to 1.4 million.

The Other Kingdom - Less then a million (will be cancelled most likely, made by DHX Media).

Legendary Dudas - Less then a million (will most likely be cancelled).

Based off this, the live action shows draw in decent numbers, and are probably cheaper and quicker to make then animation.  More risk in animation if it fails.  But the animation gets better ratings.  CN has made their change successfully to new shows, while Nickelodeon hasn't and seems to still be trying to wring people in with old classics that will only work for so long.  They seem to be in a worse positions then Cartoon Network moving forward.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is actually a good show.
It's a good balance between way to dark and heavy and way too lighthearted and silly. I like it.

I haven't watched Nick in awhile simply because nothing seems that good. I will give it a try.  Master mentioned Harvey Beaks and LP, TMNT.  I will give those a watch.

So what is going to happen with Nick... they are starting to become an all live action channel.  They don't have any long lasting shows moving forward that are animated.  They have atrocities like Breadwinners, Sanjay and Craig, and the end of the road of Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents.  They also have Harvey Beaks, which, lets face it, is a decent show but with no real drive to it.  It's charming, but not in any way related to Nick's other scream out loud horridly.  Harvey Beaks deserves to be on a more peaceful channel, or maybe downgrade it slightly for younger audience morning shows.

In the early 2000s, we would have had this discussion about Cartoon Network.... but now it is Nickelodeon.  How the mighty hath fallen.


Which leads me to these exciting, yet frightening announcements by Nickelodeon.

ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE WILL BE REBOOTED (http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/rocko-modern-life-nicktoon-rebooted-article-1.2748492).  Original creator Joe Murray, from San Jose, returns.

HEY ARNOLD WILL BE HAVING A REBOOT (http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/powerpuff-girls-hey-arnold-more-90s-cartoons-returning-to-tv-1.12215174).  Much of the original cast and creator, Seattle's Craig Barlett.

I am super excited, but nervous these could be failures if not done right.  Both these creators are superb and I believe in their talent.  Lets hope Nick doesn't hold them back. 
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion

It's a good thing about Hey Arnold. Now we will finally learn about what happened to his parents. It was supposed to be revealed in the second movie. But since the first one did so bad they never made the second one... Such a shame really.

I never really watched Rocko's Modern Life, it kind of weirded me out. I only remember like 1 episode.

The nineties are coming back in full force. Looks like they're trying to appeal to the "nostalgia millennials" ("nonials", as I dub them) who are discovering these shows online, or hearing about them from their older Gen-X relatives and becoming curious. 

I'm wondering if Warners will get on the ball and try to reboot any of its old nineties shows, or create new ones in the vein of Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs. Although without Joe Alaskey on board  (d. February 3, 2016), it wouldn't be the same.     :(

I think they should let those shows die.  There is no future for them.  They were good, let them end.  I don't think they can respire their magic.  there hasn't been a successful WB cartoon since Xiaolin Showdown.

Thats great news.  I loved both shows and Hey Arnold was actually a deep show.  I would love to find closure for him.  I wonder if he will be older now?

Tom Ruegger doesn't agree (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/4ehhxz/iama_tom_ruegger_creator_of_animaniacs_ama/)... he says he'd be interested in doing a reboot, if Warer Bros. were on board.

How would it be different in 2017-18? Imagine Yakko, Wakko, and Dot annoying "D. Knight Shamalamadingdong", insisting that a twist ending really isn't a twist if you do it in every film... Slappy Squirrel earning residuals after all her old cartoons turn up on "YouBoob" and "Mulu"... Chicken Boo as a Kardashian... The Brain using "Twaddler (https://mobile.twitter.com/session/new)" to hypnotize millennials in one of his world domination schemes... ... Katie Ka-Boom placed on the no-fly list in a post-9-11 world...Mindy's mom spending all day on DeFacebook while Buttons watches the kid....

If nothing else, I could get behind a reboot of the comic. (https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=98161)

See, i just can't get behind a redo of those Warner Bro's shows.  They've tried so many times, and all have failed miserably.  I don't think the clientele is what it used to be, and they are still thinking in the past.  To bring them to modern day standards, you will get people be-moaning like they did with the Looney Tunes Show, or the last two Scooby Doo remakes. 
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion

To be fair, the most recent Scooby doo redo isn't that bad. It's actually pretty okay. Except the faces.
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-09-07 17:22:51
The shows can be fine, great even.  They just aren't attracting viewers.  I liked the last two Scooby Doo renditions, but I didn't like the Looney Tunes show and find Wabbit boring.  I don't think visual gag and destruction humor attracts kids like it once did. 

Also that new Tom and Jerry show is so... so forgettable. 
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-11-18 13:05:15
So does Nickelodeon have anything down the pipeline?  I can't seem to find anything.  They have a bunch of horrid new live action shows coming.
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-11-18 13:15:22
Answered my own questions.

So a Hey Arnold tv movie is coming in 2017 as is the Rocko's Modern Life special.

As for new Nicktoons... they have garbage coming.

"Welcome to the Wayne" Video clip (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRb1AOxMBK8)  It started as a web series and is now going to be a tv series.  Horrible animation.

"Pinky Malinkyy" is a new show coming from the UK.  The UK is known for their atrocious track record of cartoons, and the ones that make it to the US usually tank big time.  The synopsis sounds even worse, "It chronicles the adventures of Pinky Malinky, an ordinary high school student who has inexplicably transformed into an anthropomorphic hot dog, and his efforts to climb up the social ladder with his two human friends, Babs Buttman  and JJ Jameson."  As well, it has bad character design and poor animation.  (They are trying to copy Gumball to some degree, and failing miserably)

"Bunsen is a Beast" is a new series by Butch Hartman, you know the guy.  So you know what to expect in terms of animation and writing.  "The show centers on a monster named Bunsen, who becomes the first monster in his human school. With his human friend Mikey Monroe, they both navigate their way through school life."  Sounds just like the show above?  Can we move away from kids and schools? 

Lastly, "Glitch Techs" has a lame synopsis.  "The show will center on two kids who battle video-game monsters that have found their way in the real world."  Even scarier... he show is created by Eric Robles, known for for creating the Nickelodeon series, "Fanboy & Chum Chum."  Who thought it was good to give this guy another show?

So I have little hope for Nickelodeon's animation future.  I hope Cartoon Network blows them away, because Nick looks like they are headed the wrong way.  So few new shows... and they sounds bad to start right away.  The fall of our recent animation renaissance seems to be occurring at an alarming rate.

Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-11-18 21:15:46
Reading through those, I can already tell you which will fail.

For Hey Arnold, hopefully it is the original guy doing it, I forgot his name.  Craig Barlett I think?  Like the pear.  They can't make the series be all actiony and fast talking.  It needs to be paced like how it used to be.  Don't make it something it isn't.  I really want to see what they will do with it, and how they will market it.  It will be shown to a whole new generation who sadly never got to experience the greatness that is, "Hey Arnold."

I was a messed up kid, because I loved Rocko, but I loved Arnold too.  So I really hope they treat it with respect and do it right. 

The other shows don't sound all that interesting or new.... so that worries me. 
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-11-20 18:13:19
That UK show won't last.  Pretty much all the shows aquired from other countries fail miserably.  They usually fail in their home country too.  There are very few exceptions. 
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Wolfwood on 2016-11-21 01:34:40
I really don't think there is anything I watch on Nickelodeon anymore.  The channel overall is just a shadow of it's former self, and no current show on then network will have a lasting impact.  They are all these "fad" shows that will be popular a short time then disappear.  Examples are like TUFF Puppy, has it's quick "drive by" following then they move on to the next thing real quick. 

Nickelodeon has nothing that will last right now.
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion

Ran into some statistics that may interest some of you. 

Harvey Beaks has been cancelled from Nicktoons, despite still getting over a million views per episode.  It just wasn't the right fit of a more thoughtful cartoon in their lineup it seems.

Sort of an average viewership for these Nick shows.

ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks: 1,469,000
Kuu Kuu Harajuku: 649,000 <--Never heard of this....
Pig Goat Banana Cricket: 98,000
Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V: 188,000
Spongebob: 2,200,000
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 1,100,000
The Loud House: 1,729,000
PAW Patrol: 1,427,000

They have a top-notch voice cast:  Tom Kenny, Bill Fagerbakke, Roger Bumpass,  and Clancy Brown, and Mr. Lawrence, the man who gave us Rocko, as Plankton.

Although the new one with them removing their brains and flying them around on toy robot drones was pretty weird and creepy. Oh, well, I can think of worse places to stick a helicopter blade....

Nickelodeon is the network of Spongebob, but that has to be fading soon.  Unfortunately, they play Spongebob so much, they don't allow other shows airtime to succeed.  I feel Harvey Beaks is a prime example of that.  It was creative to say the least.

But now we got Nickelodeon ready to premier more FLASH animated cartoons, I'm certain of it!  This next gen will be majority FLASH.  Wait and see.

Some news came out that, "The Loud House," has been renewed for a season 3 (http://renewcanceltv.com/shows/the-loud-house/), even before season 2 finished.  So it seems like they will get it past their 52 episode mark really fast and done, then cancel it so they can just show reruns.  Nick has been producing a lot of shows very fast lately, but most have been so bad, they don't get to 52 episodes to franchise them.

Think of all the short-lived Nick shows in the past decade no one remembers.  Harvey Beaks, Catscratch, The X's, El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, Back at the Barnyard, Tak and the Power of Juju, The Mighty B!, T.U.F.F. Puppy, Planet Sheen, Monsters vs. Aliens, and others.  Most were pretty forgettable and all short lived on Nick.  Run real fast, despite good or not, then dumped.  It is an alarming trend for what used to be the ultimate channel in cartoons. 
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-11 00:47:58
I hate when cartoons do that. Just give them an extra season without seeing if the show even deserves an extra season. That's what I can appreciate about MLP, they don't confirm new seasons until late into the one they're currently doing or even until that one is done with and they wait to see the reception. I just think it's stupid when cartoons do this.

I honestly feel bad for kids of this generation. They're just getting stupid, ugly, hideous flash crap.
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-12-11 01:42:14
I expect FLASH to be the majority too.  Even what we know now, Nick has very few new animated shows, and what we do know, is they are all FLASH or CGI.

To give a show 3 seasons when the 2nd season hasn't even aired is jumping the gun.

Cartoon Network was doing the exact opposite of this a several years back, much to the anger of people, they only bought 6 or 3 episodes of shows, and kept buying shows it like that.  It meant a show could end at anytime. 
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-12-11 01:47:20
Mm, yeah. What Cartoon Network did wasn't good either, but this bullcrap that Nick is doing (that I'm sure CN is doing now too) is just stupid. It's like potentially setting yourself up for failure.
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2016-12-11 01:53:12
Especially if a show fails to draw in the numbers it was early on, of the show starts to suck. You never buy a bunch of stuff expecting it all to succeed.  I am sure there is a stipulation though that if the show is failing, they will cut the contract. 

Cartoon Network is actually being chill lately, letting shows be decided by the creators how long they last (unless ratings are dismal).  CN is really trusting their creators at the moment.  But that will disappear if ratings drop overall on the network.

Some stuff is starting to be revealed about the upcoming Hey Arnold movie on Nickelodeon.  Character's are starting to be revealed, and seem to retain their original designs with minor changes in clothing and some shape.  Some have appeared to have aged slightly.

Time for the latest numbers by season and up to date on Nickelodeon.  What are the top rated animated shows?

Spongebob Squarepant on season 9/10 is currently drawing in 2.5 million on average.
The Loud House just entered season 2 and is capturing on average 1.8 million viewers.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in season 4 is currently pulling in 1.3 million on average.
Harvey Beaks has been cancelled but will finish showing the remaining episodes made.  Season to is drawing in about 1.2 million viewers.

That is it.  Those are the only shows Nickelodeon is making that are animated at this time.  Times sure have changed, they have practically nothing.  A new show called, "Bunsen Is a Beast" will premier in February 2017.

It has to be something pretty awful.  Perhaps they're being tortured in a foreign prison or something.  I looked at the cast list for this movie, and Alfred Molina
(Dr. Octopus from the second Spider-Man movie) is on board as the main antagonist, "La Sombra". Boy, there's a sinister-sounding name if I ever heard one.

Sadly, none of that will be true.

End of the movie, Grandma and Grandpa take off masks and Arnold realize they were her parents all along....

Well, to continue the Spider-Man parallel,  Peter Parker's parents disappeared for years, and thought dead, and he was raised by an elderly relative... he was led to believe they survived an ordeal in a foreign country and went in search of the truth, only to learn it was all a ploy (his "parents" were actually sophisticated robots built as part of an evil scheme).

Ultimate Spider-Man took it to the next level-- his dad returned after ten years, having faked his death and simply laid low all this time... but it wasn't really his dad, but a hyper-aged clone of Peter created and implanted with fake memories by Dr. Octopus... who also created several other clones, including a very cute girl version of Peter.   (It's best not to think about why.)

The upcoming Rocko's Modern Live special will be traditionally hand animated like the original cartoon.  So no FLASH or ToonBoom, thank goodness!  This is according to the show creator and animator, Joe Murray. (http://joemurraystudio.com/3403/november-26-2016/)  They will also be hand painting the backgrounds like the old days.  No computers!

A sneak peak was also shown at a animators convention, but we can't see it. (http://nickalive.blogspot.com/2017/06/nickelodeon-presents-sneak-peek-of.html)

Little bit of new info regarding the upcoming Rocky's Modern Life television movie.  It will be coming in 2018 and is "very meta."  Source (http://www.slashfilm.com/rockos-modern-life-movie-2018/).

Just like the Hey Arnold movie coming, Rocko is made by Joe Murray and the rest of his original cast of bandits. 

"As for where we find these wacky characters this time, Nickelodeon revealed that the movie sees all of our characters returning to Earth after somehow being lost in space since 1996, which is when the original series ended. Upon their return, Rocko is having a hard time dealing with modern life in the 21st century while his friends Heffer and Filburt have no problem fitting in, embracing every aspect of technology, social media, food trucks, and more.

In a very meta and somewhat dark twist, Rocko begins to think that his nostalgia for the past can save him from the tortures of the modern world. So we’re getting a nostalgic animated TV series revival where the lead character gets nostalgic for the time that the TV show took place. This sounds like it’s actually going to be awesome."

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.

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.
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion

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.

There's a lot out there though that is video evidence too of what Dan did.  He had a foot fetish and it continually become a larger and larger presence on his tv shows.  He would hang out in the teen's locker rooms with the girls.  Some claim he would fuel his foot fetish wants with them in his office.  He wasn't a good man.  From Amanda Bynes to Amanda Cosgrove and Jeanette McCurdy... he did some strange things.  He recently tackled Jeanette while filming it and dragged her by the foot around the room.

So.  Here we are, two (Dan and Chris) big time Nickelodeon names being fired in a short span of time.

And this is a current video on John K and the recent allegations.

Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: Wolfwood on 2018-03-31 10:03:36
So I may have come off as harsh.  What saddens me is that this guy, John K. was a integral part at starting the 90s cartoon revival with actual hand animated stuff!  It wasn't this cheap Hanna-Barbara crap.  His was frame by frame drawn.  So it sucks to see someone who actually is good and knows some of what they are talking about, be such a bigoted jerk.  It stinks these allegations are out there.

As for Dan Schneider, what a sickening pig if the allegations are true as well.  He used his "position of power" to take advantage of kids.  I don't know whats worse... him doing all this, or Nickelodeon knowing for all these years and not doing anything about it as their pockets got lined in cash. 
Title: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: NostradamusTheSeer on 2018-03-31 12:15:44
Schneider's big breakout vehicle was Head of the Class, which starred Howard Hesseman and (later) Billy Connelly as a teacher/mentor to a rowdy, diverse group of gifted high-school students.  I'm old enough to remember that show; that's scary.  For those who aren't, he was the fat guy (cue clips from Rocko's Modern Life (http://rmlgifs.tumblr.com/post/110165706840/dont-get-the-fat-guy) here).  I wonder if any of Schneider's co-stars knew about his proclivities even then?

As long as he was able to produce a coherent product and his work remained in demand, his superiors were willing to overlook any allegations of grabass in the workplace. However, repeated missed deadlines and continuing to butt heads with the network over content made him toxic, and he was let go midway to season two.  Fans will agree that the Ren & Stimpy cartoons made after Kricfalusi's departure were uneven in quality at best, and some utterly unwatchable.  However, shortly after these allegations came to light, John K. played the mental illness card, admitting to "self-medicating" with alcohol for years to deal with his issues.  I'm not sure how I should take that.  Is it a cheap cop-out by John K. to justify his poor behavior, or a condemnation of an uncaring, broken system who should have tried to get him the help he needed?

Looking back, maybe we should have all have seen the signs  (https://www.google.com/search?q=sody+pop+spumco&rlz=1CAHPZQ_enUS782Uhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep6__f-i6jw&list=PLTC5PFzUSkTXT96PCQVaQmuW7ui0uFjNP&index=11S783&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiZk9aWoJfaAhUCHqwKHSo-D9AQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=694#imgrc=DJv_ajN7b4WuDM:) years ago, telegraphed within his work itself.

Of course the doctor would be a "pig."  Fits that cartoon and him.  His content was always questionable.  Look at some of the tangents he made Red say on cartoons.  I can only imagine the female voice actor having to say the lines in the pilot posted above.  John K. wrote this whole mess.  Just watching it, it is fully made to feed his fantasies. 

Back in the 2010's, John K. took peoples money through a crowdfunding project.  He got the money he wanted, but he never produced the cartoon he promised.

Oh, no doubt the man is a genius.   Kricfalusi s cartoons has been a huge influence on my work, just as Bob Clampett was for John K. himself (though his family didn't quite dig what he did to Beany and Cecil) (https://youtu.be/n0t4mviCdhA?t=336)). His biggest problem is that he can be wholly undiciplined. A lot of reviews of the Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, on which John K. had carte blanche, seem to be negative, and even those who like it point to its poor execution, unfocused and oft meandering gags, and excessive script padding as its flaws.  I think the biggest problem is not having longtime collaborator Bob Camp, whose tight writing served to reign in Kricfalusi's sprawling vision, on board.  Sadly, the fallout between the two giants and subsequent feud is one of legend.

"I'm always confused when people say how much they miss Invader Zim because the show never stopped running in my head, and then I remember everyone else isn't in my head".
  --Jhonen Vasquez, creator

First Hey, Arnold!, then Rocko's Modern Life ... now another old Nickelodeon favorite is slated for a  comeback. Jhonen Vasquez's Invader Zim, featuring a gung-ho but wildly erratic alien invader and the large-headed young conspiracy theorist looking to expose his fiendish machinations, returns to the airwaves in his own made-for-TV movie. Like Ren & Stimpy a decade previous, the show-- made by a young artist known for such bizarre underground comics as Squee and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac--may have been simply too hip for the room in 2001, hence he series lasted barely two seasons in its initial run.  However, vindicated by history and given its newfound popularity, the show has since become a cult classic.  The newly-announced movie-- on which few details have been released-- might even be a trial balloon for a series revival.  Even if it doesn't come to much, there's still the IZ comic-book series (http://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Invader-Zim), which has even used one of the scrapped episode ideas from the parent show (is. #8).

Back in the 2010's, John K. took peoples money through a crowdfunding project.  He got the money he wanted, but he never produced the cartoon he promised.

"Cans Without Labels" was partly completed, and some of the animation has made it online.
However, I fear it's languished close to eight years, unfinished, like a lot of John K.'s projects-- The Ren and Stimpy episode "Life Sucks", "He-Hog", "Weekend Pussy Hunt", and "The G.D. George Liquor Show".  Pity.  It had a sound concept and a lot of promise. 

On that note, The Ripping Friends had potential too, but between Kricfalusi's dissatisfaction with the show's handling and the unfortunate timing of two particular episodes being delayed due to 9-11 (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Trivia/TheRippingFriends), it was never fully realized.  The show only saw 13 episodes.

John Kricfalusi's allegations are REAL.  Two people have come out and stated he sexually groomed them and wanted sexual favors done.

ComicCon had the release of the new INVADER ZIM television movie trailer.  Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus.


It wasn't that good of a trailer in my mind.

I found this out by accident when talking about the animations studios Klasky Csupo in another topic ... but Rugrats is being revived by the same studio and Nickelodeon!  Wow!  SOURCE (https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/rugrats-tv-relaunch-movie-1202874434/?sf193778952=1)

I don't know what to think about this.  The show had it's run, and by the end it started to decline.  But it was Nick's most popular show before Spongebob and was a cultural hit.  Seems like since no one can come up with original ideas, reboots is all the craze.  Are we in the gilded age of television now? :-\

------------------------

"Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures announced today a relaunch of the kids’ entertainment franchise “Rugrats.” A new animated-series revival featuring the characters from the ’90s cartoon has received with a 26-episode order from Nickelodeon.

The show’s original creators Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain will return to the TV series as executive producers. Nickelodeon’s “Rugrats” will be produced in Burbank, Calif., with production already underway. Additional news of the TV series, airdate and casting will be announced in the coming months.

“Rugrats is hands-down one of the most celebrated cartoons in TV history, and we are thrilled for a whole new audience to meet these iconic characters in brand-new adventures,” said Sarah Levy, COO of Viacom Media Networks and interim president of Nickelodeon. “What was true in 1991 when the original show premiered is still true today: kids are fascinated with the world of babies. We can’t wait for today’s kids to meet Tommy, Chuckie and pals."

The “Rugrats” movie will be written by David Goodman and is set to be released on Nov. 13, 2020 by Paramount Players, the division of Paramount Pictures that develops and produces co-branded feature films with Viacom’s leading media networks.

So they're "all growed down" again?  And with the passing of Chuckie's voice actress, will Candi Milo once again step into the role, or will they go in a new direction with a different cast?

Come to think of it, both (https://rugrats.wikia.com/wiki/Lou_Pickles#Looks) actors who have voiced Grampa Lou Pickles have also passed on.

If reboots are going to be the big new craze, I think a more obscure property might be in order. I think with better animation and the right cast a new Cool McCool (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmWLLuYRo28) series could work. But as Cool himself might say,  "That'll never happen again."

Nickelodeon has one of the biggest rip off shows I can see to date.  And it isn't evening mimicking a good show!!! What gives?

RAINBOW BUTTERFLY UNICORN KITTY (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Butterfly_Unicorn_Kitty) is a new cartoon on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons.  Guess who they are trying to copy?  Yep, Unikitty on Cartoon Network.  Can this get any more cringe worthy?


Let me take it even deeper here.

Felicity is the main star.  She's a cat... unicorn cat!  She has magical powers and runs a kingdom.  Seem familiar?  Oh, it's exactly the same as Unikitty.

Next, she has a male dog friend/bro thing. He's blue... he's a dog, he's chill.  His name is Miguel (ya know, for diversity or something).  Huh, sounds exactly like another show...

They have a book smart friend named Athena.  She's a scientist and is super smart and has a monotone voice.  Oh weird, she sounds exactly like a mix of two characters from another show... WEIRD.

This is blatant ripoff material worthy of law suit if you ask me.  There is some MLP ripping off here too. Plus the characters are downright ugly.

‘Rugrats’ Relaunch Set With Nickelodeon Series, Paramount Movie

Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures announced today a relaunch of the kids’ entertainment franchise “Rugrats.” A new animated-series revival featuring the characters from the ’90s cartoon has received with a 26-episode order from Nickelodeon; and Paramount Players, the new film division launched to develop projects based on properties from Viacom cable channels, has given a greenlight to a live-action film featuring CGI characters. Both the TV series and the movie will include new adventures with beloved characters Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Susie and Angelica, and will also introduce a new world of characters.

The show’s original creators Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain will return to the TV series as executive producers. Nickelodeon’s “Rugrats” will be produced in Burbank, Calif., with production already underway. Additional news of the TV series, airdate and casting will be announced in the coming months.

The “Rugrats” movie will be written by David Goodman and is set to be released on Nov. 13, 2020 by Paramount Players, the division of Paramount Pictures that develops and produces co-branded feature films with Viacom’s leading media networks.

“Rugrats” joins the recently announced return of “Blue’s Clues” as the latest classic original series Nickelodeon is bringing back for today’s generation of kids and families. Nickelodeon produced and aired an all-new “Hey Arnold!” special in 2017, and has announced the return of two more beloved titles as forthcoming specials: “Rocko’s Modern Life” and “Invader Zim.”

Clearly Nickelodeon doesn't care or doesn't have confidence in these anymore.  Something changed between then being greenlit and finalized.  They only released the Hey Arnold Jungle Movie... and now are shuffling their other two away.  Makes no sense, they'd be huge rating smashes from fans.

Nickelodeon Pre-Sells Rocko and Invader Zim to Netflix


Article: Link (https://www.animationmagazine.net/streaming/netflix-snaps-up-nicks-rocko-zim-movies/)

On Saturday, Viacom President & CEO Bob Bakish announced during the company’s Q2 Earnings conference call that its Nickelodeon studio has presold upcoming TV movies Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling and Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus to streaming service Netflix. The specials bring back fan-favorite Nickelodeon toons in all new adventures as part of Viacom’s push to capitalize on classic brands across its entertainment outlets.

Set after the events of Joe Murray’s hit 1993-96 series, Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling brings Australian wallaby Rocko and his pals Heffer and Filburt back to Earth after being lost in space since ’96. While Heffer and Filburt embrace all the modern-day technology, social media experiences and endless food truck diversity they find on their return, Rocko has trouble accepting the 21st century and believes his nostalgia for the past can protect him from the tortures of modern life.

Written and exec produced by Murray, the one-hour movie brings back original voice stars Carlos Alazraqui (The Fairly OddParents) as Rocko, Spunky and Leon; Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants) as Heffer Wolfe, Chuck and Really Really Big Man; Mr. Lawrence (SpongeBob SquarePants) as Filburt Turtle and Maitre D’; Charlie Adler (Blaze and the Monster Machines) as Ed Bighead, Bev Bighead, Mr. Dupette, Grandpa Wolfe and Mrs. Fathead; Linda Wallem (Nurse Jackie, executive producer) as Aunt Gretchen and Dr. Hutchinson; Jill Talley (SpongeBob SquarePants) as Nosey; and Joe Murray as Ralph. Newcomers Steve Little (Adventure Time) and Cosmo Segurson (also directing with Murray) join the cast as Cowboy and Pillow Salesman, respectively.

Based on the sci-fi comedy created by cult comics icon Jhonen Vazquez, Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus, finds stranded wannabe Irken invader Zim losing confidence in his own amazingness when he realizes the Almighty Tallest, leaders of his conquering race, have zero intention on coming to Earth. This crack in Zim’s incredible self esteem is just the opening that Dib — junior conspiracy crackpot and the alien’s human archnemesis — has been waiting for. Meanwhile, Zim’s poorly programmed robot sidekick GIR rides a tiny donkey.

Reprising their roles from the award-winning 2001-02 series are voice stars Richard Horvitz (Angry Beavers) as Zim, Rikki Simons (Mighty Magiswords) as GIR, Andy Berman (The Wonder Years) as Dib Membrane, Melissa Fahn (OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes) as Gaz Membrane, Wally Wingert (Sonic Boom) as Almighty Tallest Red, Kevin McDonald (The Kids in the Hall) as Almighty Tallest Purple, Rodger Bumpass (SpongeBob SquarePants as Professor Membrane, Olivia d’Abo (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) as Tak — Zim’s Irken rival — and Paul Greenberg (Yo-kai Watch) as Zim and Dib’s classmate, Poonchy.

Static Cling and Enter the Florpus is being produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank. Premiere dates have yet to be confirmed for either TV movie.

Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling Review.

So the film released and has gotten nothing but praise from critics.

After more than 20 years, Rocko's Modern Life has returned for a delightful 45 minutes, less to entertain its longtime fans - though it succeeds at that, too - and more to deliver a timely message about what our reverence for nostalgia is doing to art and society. Entertainment naturally reflects the time it was created in, but if we want that art to be new again, it can't just reflect the past, it has to evolve into something that resonates in the present. Grappling with that notion in a revival of a beloved '90s cartoon is nothing short of radical, even if things are resolved a little too quickly in the end. This show didn't need to come back, but it did so in the most thoughtfully self-aware manner possible without losing an ounce of its wild, weird charm. Here, Rocko's life isn't just modern, it's focused on the future. - Read Article (https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/08/11/rockos-modern-life-static-cling-review-netflix-movie-special)

Oh no.  This sounds like a horrible idea.  You never take a side character and make a series out of them.  Especially one you can only tolerate for small spurts.

I hadn't hear or read that yet, but boy by golly, that sounds atrocious.  Something Mr. Hillenburg would probably never have allowed, but since he is gone, Nick will wring this series out till there is nothing left unfortunately. 

It was similar how Nick made a jimmy Neutron spinoff with Sheen... and boy... wasn't that a disaster.  In small doses he can be fine, but when he is the main star... wow. Bad.

You can see the writing on the wall.  It's going to be absolutely terrible and fade off within a season or two.  They will be hung-ho, order a ton of episodes right away then quickly pull back.

Nickelodeon Orders Season 2 of 'It's Pony'

Article (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/nickelodeon-orders-season-2-pony-1302397)

ViacomCBS' Nickelodeon has ordered a 20-episode second season of animated hit series It’s Pony.

The show follows the comedic adventures of Annie and her best friend, who just so happens to be an enthusiastic, impulsive, and carefree pony. Season 2 will premiere in the U.S. in early 2021, shortly followed by a rollout across Nickelodeon’s international markets.

It's Pony is currently one of the top three animated series with kids 2-11 across all TV, only behind Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants and The Loud House, according to the network. The premiere of the series in January was Nickelodeon’s highest-rated animation launch with kids 2-11 since 2018. Created by Ant Blades, the show is inspired by a short from Nickelodeon's 2015 International Animated Shorts Program.

"The overwhelming reaction to the first season of It's Pony has been phenomenal, and fans have been champing at the bit for a second season," said Nina Hahn, senior vp of development and production at Nickelodeon. "We are thrilled to green light season 2 of a show where no matter what happens, everything’s always better when Annie and Pony are together."

In season two, Annie and Pony take their city by storm. "Whether they are crashing a comic convention or battling a swarm of revenge-seeking flies, Annie and Pony’s adventures test the limits of their friendship like never before," according to a plot description....

I highly doubt they would hire a child-predator and true-to-life jerk such as him to lead the new series, especially in the day and age of #MeToo.  He's a sexual predator and hasn't had his time yet for his actions.  He blames everyone else for his problems, has a superiority complex, and is really a horrible man.

I'd like to see the uncut, unedited episodes, but between the networks' qualms about certain content and Kricfalusi being known for editing things he didn't like out of episodes (usu. from latter-day episodes where he had reduced to no creative control), that may not be possible. I'm not even sure where the master tapes are or who who controls the rights these days.

I know very little, but i would assume Nickelodeon owns the rights (or the parent company) of the original Nick R&S show.  But then when they did that Adult Party thing, wasn't that with Comedy Central?  Maybe they own the rights to those episodes.

But who owns the rights to the characters and merchandising?

That was Spike TV, which is now defunct (don't even know what it's called now).  I figure, much like its fellow adult animated comedies Gary the Rat and Stripperella, they've been happily swept under the rug and forgotten by fans.  Kricfalusi didn't help matters, admittedly, with his pervtastic DVD commentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mItPlbTo1Xk) alongside Katie Rice (now working as a director on Hulu's Animaniacs reboot, which perhaps not coincidentally features a baddie with a design very reminiscent of Kricfalusi's work (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/animaniacs/images/b/b2/Anmx_stillfromrevival_04.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20201107050343)).

Spike TV became the Paramount Network.  Pretty big shift from a "guys network" to what it is now. 

The channel is owned by ViacomCBS.

So the same people who own Nickelodeon.  So it's all in Nickelodeon's hands... or Viacoms.
Title: My two cents
Post by: NostradamusTheSeer on 2020-12-27 15:28:02
I have to say: I think it's a mistake.  John K. casts a pretty long shadow over the industry, and his stink is indelibly on these characters.  They've tried to do the show without Kricfalusi, and the quality suffered... of course, it suffered when he got total, unchecked creative reign without guys like Bob Camp to reign in his hedonism and his indulgent bloat, as well. I see a reboot quickly turning into an abortive fiasco.

(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/f/a2e03e8a-33a8-47e2-a3e5-0c592d110fba/dcd92d9-231057f8-6df0-4df0-94d1-e2b78e04de95.jpg/v1/fill/w_1024,h_420,q_75,strp/tbdc_john_k___inspired_sketches_by_haggismccrablice_dcd92d9-fullview.jpg?token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJzdWIiOiJ1cm46YXBwOiIsImlzcyI6InVybjphcHA6Iiwib2JqIjpbW3siaGVpZ2h0IjoiPD00MjAiLCJwYXRoIjoiXC9mXC9hMmUwM2U4YS0zM2E4LTQ3ZTItYTNlNS0wYzU5MmQxMTBmYmFcL2RjZDkyZDktMjMxMDU3ZjgtNmRmMC00ZGYwLTk0ZDEtZTJiNzhlMDRkZTk1LmpwZyIsIndpZHRoIjoiPD0xMDI0In1dXSwiYXVkIjpbInVybjpzZXJ2aWNlOmltYWdlLm9wZXJhdGlvbnMiXX0.yOgTq0Inj2GsWFSXCHmS2eQCvsDHkU0rbkpG-qF-Ud4)

If you wanted to create whole new characters, in the vein of Ren and Stimpy, sure, I could get behind that. However, be prepared to get compared unfavorably to the glut of Spumco knockoffs that have been showing up for more than 20 years, like the short-lived misfire  Schnookums and Meat, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5E2xf1HVfUs&list=PLTC5PFzUSkTXU6h16jbXknE2H8dgwOr_G&index=3) or even latter-day SpongeBob. (https://thumbs.gfycat.com/NastyAbleHeifer-max-1mb.gif) Of course, Kricfalusi won't see a nickel on the reboot, and I expect he's got some pretty choice thoughts on that.

It's telling, though, that even one of his victims pretty much said, "Hey, it was the nineties. Everyone was doing it. A lot of execs had a young piece of ass on the side"-- the same defense I've been using since that #MeToo mess broke. The difference was, these men knew how to treat their gals, with a modicum of decorum. That's what got John K. in trouble, not the banging.  Have as many barely-legal side-pieces as you want, but be an adult about it. Show some class. I bet even the other guys in John's social circle thought his behavior was immature and skeezy.  Treat her like a lady, not a prize thoroughbred. Don't pass around naked pics of them at parties and leer over them to your buddies. Do well by 'em. Buy 'em a house. Marry them when they're of age (or at least promise to).  Respect them, damn it.
Title: Re: Nickelodeon Discussion
Post by: RainySunshine on 2020-12-27 16:56:04
I agree, people need to be respected.  But there should never be any underage gal on the side... or anyone.  That is flat out wrong.  Not to mention the number of affairs going on.  If they treated them with respect, they wouldn't have an underage woman on the side.

I've defended John K. in the past using the "separate the art from the artist" and "he paved the way for you" arguments, but, really, this is beyond the pale.  Kricfalusi contacted one of his former proteges with an idea for R&S:APC (https://twitter.com/TopographicFish/status/980849307652894721)  he seemed to envision as some sort of syrupy, nostalgic love letter to their time together, but which comes off even more depraved that "Ren Seeks Help (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/RenandStimpyAPC1x02RenSeeksHelp)" (self-abuse? nightmare imagery? calling her, essentially, "trailer trash"?

Post by: NostradamusTheSeer on 2021-01-03 13:39:07
All the same, does anyone agree with Robin Byrd's petition to get the reboot cancelled (https://www.change.org/p/viacom-viacom-don-t-reboot-ren-stimpy-it-will-cause-trauma-and-endanger-fans-and-crew)?  A lot of people, from storyboard artists to voice actors, will find themselves screwed out of a well-paying gig--many of which had nothing to do with John K.'s shenanigans 25-30 years ago (not unlike when Harvey Weinstein was caught: when he went to jail, his company was dissolved, dozens of films were shelved, and many promising actors' careers unfairly suffered in the backlash).

 Byrd fears a reboot would be Kricfalusi's foot in the door to begin his campaign of perverse sexual terror anew with a new generation of starry-eyed young girls... but, c'mon. Are her worries really grounded in reality? I think young people are a bit smarter than that. As are their parents, I wager. I realize her experiences were pretty awful, and I do sincerely hate to blame the victim here, but someone should really question the wisdom of Byrd's mother and father, letting a man well into this thirties "mentor" a girl half his age and even move in with him. They were classic enablers who all but sold her into prostitution with a pencil in her hand.

 Today, with the presence of social media and numerous documentaries, blogs, web videos on Kricfalusi and his ilk available, folks are well-warned--a lot more than they were then, certainly. In the age of #MeToo, young artists, parents, and guardians know what to look for, should some new wunderkind rise to prominence in the industry and, citing Kricfalusi as his inspiration but determined to do what he did but do 'im one better, begin looking to groom new talent....

During the game they will also be showing a sneak peek (https://screenrant.com/spongebob-kamp-koral-preview-nfl-sunday-nickelodeon/) of the new Spongebob spinoff - Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years.  From what we've seen, the CGI looks truly awful.  As if it came from the early 2000s.

Article (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/11/sports/football/nfl-nickelodeon-bears-saints.html)

Grown-Ups Loved the N.F.L. on Nickelodeon. But What About Children?

The cable channel aired a slime-filled version of the Bears-Saints wild-card game on Sunday, to the delight of many adults. But the goal was to convert children into football fans.

When Michael Thomas scored the first touchdown of Sunday’s wild-card game between the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints, fans watching the game on CBS saw a close angle of him spiking the football. Fans watching on Nickelodeon, the children’s channel, saw something much more exciting: digital slime cannons spewing Nickelodeon’s signature green goo all over the end zone.

“There we go with the slime cannons. Ayyy, that is epic!” said Gabrielle Nevaeh Green, a 15-year-old Nickelodeon star and one of the game’s commentators.

It takes more work than you might expect to get the slime cannons right. “Getting the slime consistency in the cameras, to the Nick team, was a big thing,” said Shawn Robbins, the coordinating producer for the game. “I was on a lot of emails where it was ‘tweak this a little more.’”

Nickelodeon has long featured various sports and athletes on its television shows — and has also had a robust presence at the Super Bowl in recent years — but broadcasting a full N.F.L. playoff game is a first. It went all out on something it thought the children and teenagers, who are its core audience, would enjoy.

The score display and digital information superimposed on the field were done so in bright orange, lime green and purple. A giant image of the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants appeared on the nets behind the field-goal posts. Players were given googly eyes and hamburger hats. The Saints quarterbacks Drew Brees and Taysom Hill were compared to an even more famous duo: SpongeBob and his best friend, Patrick Star.

The differences were not limited to digital ephemera. Rules that adult football fans are assumed to understand were instead explained. An analyst, former N.F.L. wide receiver Nate Burleson, made frequent use of (sometimes tortured) analogies, at one point explaining that driving down the field was like studying, and that snaps in the red zone were the test. Noah Eagle, the play-by-play announcer, said excitedly at one point that New Orleans receiver Deonte Harris was “hotter than a Peruvian puff pepper.”

That is a reference to an episode of the Nickelodeon show “Drake and Josh” from 2005, when Eagle, who is 24, was just 8.

Green, who was attending her first N.F.L. game, wasn’t asked to understand football like Burleson, who played in the league for 11 years. But Robbins still wanted to get her a one-page cheat sheet for each team. Instead, a production assistant accidentally included her on the same distribution list for the game notes that went to Tony Romo.

“Her mom sent me an email that said, ‘Um, hey Shawn, what do we need to know from this 800-page packet?’” Robbins said.

Until recently, it was hard to imagine Nickelodeon showing an entire N.F.L. game. “We are not encouraging anybody to play or not play. We are there as fans, and we are celebrating as fans,” Cyma Zarghami, then Nickelodeon’s president, told The New York Times nearly three years ago in response to questions about associating a channel for children with a violent sport that can cause head trauma.

“The actual sport doesn’t ever actually get to Nickelodeon,” she said.

But the sports media landscape has changed since then. Nickelodeon has a new president, Brian Robbins. It is also part of a new corporate structure, which brings with it different imperatives. In 2019, Viacom — which owned cable channels like Nickelodeon, MTV and Comedy Central — remerged with CBS, which pays the N.F.L. a billion dollars annually to show its games.

“This is sort of a dream come true for kids to get their version, sports their way, on the network they like to watch it on,” Brian Robbins said in an interview. “What changed is Viacom and CBS merged and made it a lot easier to make it happen.”

He was unequivocal about how he viewed the broadcast. “Nickelodeon’s broadcast of the wild card game was one of the greatest moments in the history of Nickelodeon,” he said.

All of the N.F.L.’s television contracts expire in 2021 and 2022. CBS may still be thought of as the Tiffany Network at league headquarters, but in some ways it has a weaker hand to play than its rivals. ViacomCBS is much smaller than competitors like the Walt Disney Company (ABC and ESPN), Comcast (NBC) and AT&T (DirecTV and Warner Media), and it has more than twice as much debt on its balance sheet as the similarly sized Fox Corp.

Putting Sunday’s game on Nickelodeon in addition to CBS was one way to potentially impress the league ahead of negotiations. Viewership for the N.F.L. would increase, along with the opportunity to capture a new generation of football fans.

“This came out of conversations with the CBS Sports team and the N.F.L. when there was going to be another wild card game,” Brian Robbins said. “They were negotiating to get the rights and somebody suggested a broadcast simulcast on Nick. I think the N.F.L. really was enthused by that opportunity, which kind of sealed the deal for us, for CBS to get the rights to broadcast an extra wild card game.”

ESPN, albeit without a children’s channel, has pursued a similar strategy, bringing its “MegaCast” production — typically used for the college football national championship game — to its Sunday wild-card game. The Baltimore Ravens’ victory over the Tennessee Titans was shown on six different ESPN channels: ABC and ESPN (traditional), Freeform (fun), ESPN2 (coaches’ room), ESPN+ (analytics-focused) and a Spanish-language broadcast on ESPN Deportes.

Television networks have long used big football games to advertise their other offerings, and Nickelodeon’s wild-card game was no different. There were commercials for other Nickelodeon shows and a section in players’ bios that included their favorite Nickelodeon show. Members of the reboot of the teen sketch show “All That” did impressions throughout the game; in an awkward moment, an impression of the rapper Cardi B segued into a referee calling a personal conduct foul and a microphone in the nearly empty stadium picking up a player yelling an expletive.

Shawn Robbins, who normally works on sports studio shows for CBS, was assigned the playoff game back in August. Most of the cameras and video feeds were borrowed from the CBS broadcast, but a test game in December showed that the Nickelodeon broadcast needed to control at least a few of its own cameras. On a typical broadcast, the cameraman will zoom in on whoever scores the touchdown. But Nickelodeon needed touchdown shots to stay wide, in order to fully showcase the slime cannons.

Oh, and the hamburger hats. “There are certain kinds of shots we needed. We needed a little extra headroom to put a hamburger on their head,” Shawn Robbins said.

The broadcast seemed like a hit, at least according to the reaction of mostly older millennial and middle-aged sportswriters. “To have the game stripped of all its self-importance and hubris was an absolute delight,” wrote Sports Illustrated.

But the excitement of sportswriters who have seen hundreds of N.F.L. games is not the same thing as success. They are not the target audience — children are.

Most important for Nickelodeon is how many of them watched, data that will be available Tuesday, though Brian Robbins said the early numbers are good, and that the N.F.L. was “thrilled.” Most important for the N.F.L. is whether this alternative broadcast helps turn more children into the kinds of football fans who will ask their parents to take them to games or to buy jerseys, and who eventually pay for their own tickets to games when they become adults.

That’ll take a lot longer to figure out.

Nickelodeon’s game draws 2 million viewers

Sunday’s CBS airing between the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears attracted roughly 30 million viewers, and its kids’ version on Nickelodeon drew approximately 2 million, becoming the Nickelodeon’s “most-watched program among total viewers in nearly four years,” the network said.

I am pretty sure they made this episode full aware the pandemic was going on...

“Kwarantined Crab" Pulled From Nickelodeon . . . as well as other 'potentially problematic episodes of Spongebob (https://nypost.com/2021/03/30/spongebob-squarepants-episode-pulled-due-to-sensitivities/).

Nickelodeon isn’t taking any chances with this nautical nonsense.

The network announced on Tuesday that they decided to pull an upcoming episode of “SpongeBob SquarePants,” now in its 12th season, due to a “virus storyline” that may upset viewers traumatized by the pandemic.

“The ‘Kwarantined Crab’ centers on a virus storyline, so we have decided to not air it due to sensitivities surrounding the global, real-world pandemic,” Nickelodeon said.  During the unaired episode, a Bikini Bottom health inspector identifies a case of the “Clam Flu” at the Krusty Krab diner and decides to quarantine customers inside the restaurant.

The move to self-censor comes just days after a Slate reporter revealed that 11 minutes of footage had disappeared from a “classic” episode of the animated series during its third season, called “Mid-Life Crustacean.” Viewers suspect the omission has to do with a scene in which SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs and Patrick plan a “panty raid” through the underwear drawer of, incidentally, Mr. Krabs’ mother.

Nostalgic fans have griped about its absence on social media amidst excitement over the entire “Spongebob” catalog being added to the Paramount+ streaming app. Amazon Prime, where the show also streams, has since followed suit, according to Slate.

Nickelodeon said it pulled the episode years ago after deeming it inappropriate for children.

“‘Mid-Life Crustacean’ has been out of rotation since 2018, following a standards review in which we determined some story elements were not kid-appropriate,” a rep said.

And one of the new characters will be a "pansexual"... which is a fancy way of saying "some filthy skank who will (bleep) anything that moves, much like that dirty, gross cat your neighbor has". Streaming it on a channel with looser restrictions will definitely allow for more adult jokes than Nickelodeon will permit.

It's just as well Gibby won't be involved, because that shirt-lifting thing will be a lot less cute now that he's 24. In fact, much of the iCarly crew's junior high-school behavior would now carry serious jail time since they're adults (still cringing about the kid who fell down the elevator shaft and their eerily casual reaction to it). Who knows, we might even see whatever happened to Carly's perennial nemesis Neville Papperman and the creepy girl with the duck mask ("Quack! Quaaaaaaaaaack!")

I just hope they don't explain Sam's absence by saying she's in jail for some ham-related "third strike". 

Speaking of reprisals, not all the original Rugrats cast will be back: Christine Cavenaugh (Chuckie) and Joe Alaskey (Grandpa Pickles) are gone, of course.  Nancy Cartwright stepped in for the latter in 2002, but with her so busy on The Simpsons, she may be unavailable.

Post by: RainySunshine on 2021-06-04 13:19:58

'Drake and Josh' star charged with crimes against a child

Article (https://komonews.com/news/entertainment/drake-and-josh-star-charged-with-crimes-against-a-child)

Jared Drake Bell, known for his role as Drake in the hit Nickelodeon television show "Drake and Josh" was charged Friday with crimes against a child.

According to arrest reports obtained by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the 34-year-old musician is charged with attempted endangerment of children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. He pleaded not guilty on Thursday and was released on a $2,500 bond, according to court records.

Bell was also ordered to submit a DNA sample in the case.

Cuyahoga County Court records show the alleged crime took place on Dec. 1, 2017.

According to Fox 8 in Cleveland, Bell allegedly engaged in an inappropriate chat with a minor that “at times, was sexual in nature.”

The alleged incident reportedly happened on Dec. 1, 2017, the same day Bell was scheduled to perform at Cleveland club The Odeon. However, Bell was not indicted until last month, and he is due back in court on June 23.

Bell’s mugshot taken at Cuyahoga County Jail is dated Thursday, June 3, just before 3 p.m. He was asked to submit DNA, a standard practice in Ohio.

In 2015, Bell was arrested for a DUI with a bail set at $20,000. In that case, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor and spent four days in jail.

This is what I could find about Drake Bell's incident here.  He also now goes by the name Drake Campana, and has launched a music career.

"According to prosecutors, the charges stem from an incident at a concert in Cleveland on Dec. 1, 2017. Mr. Bell, who also goes by Drake Campana, had tweeted that he had a show scheduled at the Odeon Concert Club there on that date.

Prosecutors said that Mr. Bell engaged in a conversation with a 15-year-old girl that was at times sexual in nature. An investigation by the Cleveland Police Department also revealed that Mr. Bell had sent the girl inappropriate social media messages in the months before the show, the prosecutors said.

According to prosecutors, Mr. Bell “violated his duty of care” at the concert and, “in doing so, created a risk of harm to the victim.” A spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, Tyler Sinclair, did not say why Mr. Bell had only just now been indicted.

In a brief statement on Friday, Ian N. Friedman, a lawyer representing Mr. Bell, declined to address specific questions. “All facts will be revealed in the courtroom,” he said.

The felony child endangerment charge carries a sentence of up to 18 months in prison, with a minimum sentence of six months, and up to a $5,000 fine. The second charge, a misdemeanor, is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

I haven't thought of that show in a very long time.  It does bring back memories though.  I had no idea Baker did the voice of the temple and I wonder what happened to the original host?

I found this info too.  It doesn't appear to be too good. :(

Article / FOX NEWS (https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/entertainment-celebrity/drake-bells-ex-girlfriend-breaks-silence-on-his-arrest-after-accusing-him-of-abuse-in-2020/ar-AAKNEJ7?ocid=uxbndlbing)

Drake Bell's ex-girlfriend breaks silence on his arrest after accusing him of abuse in 2020

Drake Bell’s ex-girlfriend spoke out after the actor and musician was arrested and charged with crimes against children.

Bell, 34, was arrested in Cleveland and has been charged with attempted endangering children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles, online records viewed by Fox News confirm. His ex, Melissa Lingafelt, previously accused the actor of physical and verbal abuse as well as having a preference for underage girls in 2020.

Bell denied the allegations in a statement to Variety at the time.

After news broke that Bell had been arrested on charges related to children, Lingafelt took to Tiktok for a bit of an "I told you so."

"gonn’ act like I didn’t tell you guys. Too bad him having a kid to clean up his image aint work," she captioned a video of herself smirking over Google search results showing the myriad of headlines regarding Bell’s recent arrest.

Fox 8 in Cleveland has learned that Bell allegedly engaged in an inappropriate chat with a victim that "at times, was sexual in nature.

"All facts will be revealed in a courtroom," Bell’s attorney Ian Friedman said Friday, declining to comment further.

It's unclear when the child star was arrested but a mug shot obtained by Fox News shows Bell was taken to the Cuyahoga County Jail and was released on a $2,500 bond on Thursday. Fox 8 reports he has agreed to have no contact with the alleged victim upon his release.

In August, Lingafelt, a singer and actress, posted a lengthy video on TikTok under her stage name Jimi Ono, detailing the alleged assault during their relationship from August 2006 to February 2009. Bell said he "never abused my ex-girlfriend or did so many of the other things Melissa falsely claimed on her TikTok video."

The "Drake & Josh" alum continued: "As our relationship ended — more than a decade ago — we, unfortunately, both called each other terrible names, as often happens when couples are breaking up. But that is it."

In 2015, he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in California.

Legends of the Hidden Temple?  Meh, I was more of a Nick Arcade (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Arcade) man myself.

Okay--not rape, not sexual assault, just the vague "crimes against children" and a "preference" for younger women.  They have Bell's texts, apparently, as evidence. See, his only crime is, as far as I can see, he's stupid.  In my day it was all done by telephone. None of your "social media". No paper trail. We need to go back to that.  "A conversation with a 15-year-old girl that was at times sexual in nature". Pfft. I did far worse when I was young.  You wanna hear some of the things I used to say to this pretty young thing I was seeing over the phone back in college..?

THE COLLECTIVE VOICES OF THE PSF FORUM RAISED IN A SCREAM:
 NooooooOOOOOOOOooooooo-o!!

...All right, then.    :)

 Sorry, but it really doesn't sound like they have a lot against Bell... and, last I checked, domestic abuse doesn't fall under the purview of #MeToo.  They tried this already with Jim Cummings  (https://psfforum.com/index.php?topic=3582.msg448192#msg448192).  This movement is virulent enough on its own--no one needs it being used by an angry ex as a cudgel to attack their livelihood just because they're a lousy partner at home.  This "Melissa Lingafelt" sounds like a smug little bitch and a pure-d ball-breaker.

Yeesh, Miranda Cosgrove's cute little Barbie-doll face has not aged well.  I dunno, it's like her skin has got a weird stretched plasticky quality to it.  Co-star Jerry Trainor, on the other hand, doesn't look a day older.

Hey, here's a funny little Histeria!/LotHT mashup I found, featuring historical power couple Attila and The Hun!

Middlemost Post is pretty good.  Catchy theme song.
Most everything else seems to be nineties series reboots or holdovers.

There's still that talk of a Ren and Stimpy revival (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ren_%26_Stimpy_Show#Comedy_Central_reboot)-- without John K. --but since Covid hit, it's pretty much up in the air.    :-\

The Loud House is getting the same live-action treatment as The Fairly Odd Parents, and is being rechristened The Really Loud House.   ???


I don't get it. Why take a show from an animated medium and remake it in the far more limiting venue of live-action? It makes no g.d. sense.     >:(

...Then again, maybe this is the perfect opportunity to finally pitch that Schitt's Creek/TLH crossover idea I've been kicking around for a while now: The Schitt House.    ;)

In one episode (https://theloudhouse.fandom.com/wiki/The_Blemish_Dilemish) Lisa mentions her sneeze sounds like a turkey call, but we don't get to hear it.   P>>

Disney owns "Disney's Doug."  Nick owns the original Doug.

Jumbo Pictures is separate from them all, but I doubt they still exist.  So the creator would probably have to go back to Disney for this to continue.  Billy West didn't voice in the Disney version because he wanted too much money. Since then, West has said he'd be willing to voice Doug again.

 I do enjoy the nightly Adult Swim "Checkered Past" lineup. They showed a couple of Cow and Chicken/I.M.Weasel episodes over the holidays. I'm hoping they become a regular part of the block with my other nineties favorites. Why, even the later, lesser Chris Savino-helmed Dexter's Laboratory eps beat the crap out anything new Nickelodeon and Disney are offering up.

 I see Assy McGee remains conspicuously absent from the AS streaming feed, however. It's like they're ashamed of it or something. Is it some dumbass--no pun intended--Black Lives Matter protest thing because the show features police officers?

Yes it is.  I think if you do that in the States, as much as I'd like it, it would lose a lot of the novelty.  It wouldn't be a ratings hit either as it is now being limited.  It's something unique, special. As a channel it would lose that.
