I couldn't agree more. I got teary reading that. I miss older nick more then anything. I mean those old shows were the BEST. I HATE nick from playing Spongebob 10 times a day, HELLO PLAY THE OLDER SHOWS. There should be a channel devoted to playing only OLD nick shows. It really pisses me off how even on Nicktoons they play Spongebob, HELLO SPONGEBOB IS ON REGULAR NICK 24/7. I will seriously protest outside of Nick Studios if other people.

The problem is that today's youth like the very different styled shows they present on TV today. They wouldn't relate to the type of situations and comedy that was present in early to mid 90's Nick. I agree, though, that they should make another Nick channel focused on older shows, besides Nicktoons and GAS.

I was born long before '93, way back in the mid '80s. My sister was born in 1991, so I got to enjoy a second generation of Nickelodeon. I remember shows like "You Can't Do that on Television", "Double Dare","What would you Do?","Figure it Out" Legends of the Hidden Temple, and "Video Arcade". You can see most of these now on Nick GAS. But I still miss the original NickToons, like "Doug", "Aah! Real Monsters", "Rocko's Modern Life", "Ren & Stimpy",(never a real fan of Rugrats). I liked some of the later NickToons like "Hey Arnold!", I would consider that the last, that was made in the old style that had episodes, with recurring characters that had a lesson. I never liked the "Wild Thornberrys" or "The Angry Beavers". I can't agree more with you though on the sheer stupidity of the new shows on Nick. SpongeBob isn't that bad but it is overplayed. I never liked the ABC version of Doug either,everone's head looked funny.

Oh my God, I miss that show too. Some of the older shows, like Doug and Angry Beavers and I think Hey Arnold, you can find on DVD. I'm looking for Kablam with no success, is it available anywhere?
But the music swerved, it sank into deep,

What's sad about it all is that slowly their fanbase is gonna drop, and Paramount, who once brought us classics like Airplane! and some of the more favored Modern movies like Team America, will be nothing more than a company that was popular, now it will deliver nothing good.
I like the older shows. On a message board for Are you Afraid of the dark?, I simply made the idea of not showing the old shows, but releasing them on DVD, and then start the show over again, Remade, with a whole new audience, since the kids of today only Watch Rugrats or Spongebob, and Zoey 101, among other shows with talentless actors, and introduce them to a show that's "NEW" to them, but classic to us, and reenact the older episodes with Remade Graphics, and stuff. Don't change a line, leave the stories the same, keep the same ideas, but alter them so they don't seem so outdated, and if that picks up, make more episodes and add on to the franchise. Imagine seeing all the modern actors of today appearing in an episode of AYAOTD? with remade graphics, but it's the same old story from when they were growing up? I'd love to see perhaps a Maniacial Fred Willard play a character that so and so played years ago.
As for the older shows, all we can do is weep, Because Nickelodeon most of the time does not care for viewers, or they wouldn't turn up so much Schlock for people. They just want profits. If Spongebob were to disappear from the Nick channel, Nick would be bankrupt. And As for FOP, that's only funny because of some of the jokes. I don't think younger kids get the jokes as well as the older crowd does. Do you know any kids who can tell that Cosmo found the Holy Grail from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in a pile of sand, and laugh about it, knowing where the reference came from? No. I found that reference to be hilarious.
But, yeah. If SB goes off the air, Nick can it's profits goodbye.

You know, Paramount should take some Advice from Ted Turner and the Cartoon Network and get some shows that are actually good. CN despite having Warner Bros, they should take the idea of getting shows that are animated and fun rather than live action, like they are now.

Hey guys I love(d) these shows so much. If you want to download a few of the best, go to Myspleen.com sign up(it's free) and get some. This is not spam if you're thinking that, just a concerned Nick fan.

(Sigh)
I really hated "Avatar" with a huge passion a couple months ago, until I actually sat down and WATCHED it. Yes, the anime-esque style of animation in "Avatar" suits it, but I wish they would have done a more traditional style, so less people would immediately put it down from what they saw.
All that being said; "Avatar" is a wonderful show that caught me by surprise. It may not be par of other GREAT shows that Nick use to produce, but it's something. The storytelling is what really brought me in, and I really care for these characters. It's a great show with above-par storytelling, please do yourself a favor and watch a couple of the episodes.
I still miss Pre-Dil Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, Hey! Aronld, Kablam of course and As Told By Ginger but they play ALL of those shows around 3-7 AM (eastern US)On the Nicktoons Network chanel. They don't play the 30 minute regular show of "Kablam!" but at least they play the shorts
cheers!
