Remember what they did to Pink and the Brains intro, passing it off like it was their show?

I say they will....this is Nick we are talking about, who wants NO mention of competing networks on thier own station. Besides, they did it once, they will most likely do it twice...

....but I will try to see an eppy and see if what I said is true.

I think they will. They are obsessed with self-promotion, but not nearly as bad as the d*sn*y channel.

So, who has actually seen A! on Nick? Did they mess with the opening? Did they cut the closing credits in half? If so, did they at least leave the water-tower ending bit intact? Are they showing the episodes in any order so far? Are the 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM airings the same episodes?

I'd have watched it myself, except that I didn't. Maybe I'll catch it tomorrow.

They aired two different episodes, but the opening...they saturated it with their logo AND they abridged it. They are just not getting it.

I was busy watching Dragonball, but I seen what they did to the opening. A quote to the Prince of all Sayians, Vegeta, what he said about the androids, "I will get my hand on those orange logos and I will break them with my bare hands!!!!":mad:

Ah, so it HAS been done. I suddered when I saw what they did with P&tB's ending....and I will probably shudder here as well. If they altered one of those lines where they sing a different lyric in the song to say something about Nick, I WILL be dissapointed....and they will probably do that as well...

....Histeria, C. Network may be the place for you after all!

Even though Nick deserves most of the blame, I sort of want to blame WB too, or at least whoever let Nick have the rights to show A! and P&TB. They knew that Nick would reck the opening, just like they did P&TB. They could have made a deal that says no alterations are allowed to the show, like what Bob Clampett's family did when CN made The Bob Clampett Show.

Here I am, NARF!
Well, I was distracted by enjoying the unoffical end of summer. Therefore, I didn't see A!'s airing on Nick.

So, it sounds like what I feared the most would occur -- maybe just a little more that I imagined. =X
At least hearing about what they did to the intro before seeing it will take a little of the shock off for me.




From the post Jack built...

Now, there's one entity that I don't see mentioned lately in regaurd to P&TB,A!,etc.: Speilburg.

Maybe I missed something, but IIRC, does not Steven have some part ownership or control in those shows? Wouldn't he have something to say in how they're treated? Is he too involved in SKG Dreamworks to notice? Perhaps I don't fully understand what role Speilburg has in these shows.


More confused than usual, poit.

So Nick did it........One moment please * Runs into another room, swearing can be heard, then leaves* Alright, this is reason I don't watch Nick anymore (Well, that and Teen Nick). What the hell happened to the network! I loved it when I was 7 and then it changed into this disgrace, we lost lots of great shows, because they wanted more Nicktoons.

We also got a crappy TRL rip-off, a bunch of crappy J-pop songs, it makes me want to...........argh! I can't think of anything they haven't done wrong now a days. What a shame........

BourgeoisBuffoon
09-04-2001, 08:47 AM
In Nick's defense, don't forget when we loved it we were just littled kids; we may not know as much then as we did now...
...but Teen Nick is a place to dump live-action shows and give Sunday night a (pathetic) facelift; and all these SONGS?! ARGH! It's turned into a kiddie MTV! And almost all these songs are sucky....barely watch Nick right now, and it is not for these...
But the Nicktoons are okay; especially Spongebob Squarepants and The Fairly Oddparents. At least the Nicktoon element has not been sabatoged yet...

robert
09-04-2001, 10:15 AM
I missed the show yesterday, I never watch TV at 5:30 because I'm on the Net, but it is also on at 7:30 AM, so tomorrow morning I'll have my one chance to see it at that time before I have to go to school. From what I've heard though, I won't like the first 40 or so seconds that I see. And we probably haven't even seen the eidts they'll pull off like the edits they did for PatB such as cutting out the Snowball for Windows line in Snowballl and cutting out the WB ref in the Bah Wilderness ep. Yep, Nick is starting to bug me.

Thad Komorowski
09-04-2001, 02:47 PM
OMG, they altered the Animaniacs opening?! What did they do, replace the WB logo with a Nick logo? When I find out who did this............ Also, I hope they don't plan on cutting out ALL references to the WB. The show would then be less than 15 minutes.

-Thad:D

Also, I wonder if they'll play the episode with Buddy......

Seeing as I (still) don't have cable and can't see this "A! on Nick" thing, I was wondering (if anyone's seen this by now) if someone could give me a detailed description of how the opening's been altered....did they have Wakko eating a pile of "Nickelodeon" food? Or have a "Nickelodeon" planet come crashing down on PatB? Or cut part of the opening out?

As for sticking the "Nick" logo over opening sequences: Guess it's a tradition for Nick to do this for WB-related shows....I recall the old "Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon" program (the original one that started in the late 80's that aired Bosko cartoons), where the opening consisted of some a cappella-singing of the "Looney Tunes" opening theme music, with various clips of the cartoons that aired on the show playing, all with "Nick"'s logo over various objects (a Daffy-Speedy cartoon where Speedy's sailing on a boat with a "Nick" sail, Bosko dancing in front of a "Nickelodeon" curtain on a stage, Wile E. getting hit by a Nick rock, and Sylvester (from "Claws for Alarm"?) in a car with Porky looking afraid as a "Nickelodeon" UFO hovers over him). No idea how many others here have seen this opening (instead of the latter one Nick used), but it seems to have served as precedent for Nick in its treatment of other WB shows, apparently...

Well, Nick hasn't cut the sibs saying "We're the Warner brothers!" yet, so maybe, maybe not. Okkay, for those who haven't seen it, The zoom to the tower has been replaced by the Nick logo in a cold opening (visually, @ least; they keep the zoom music). The screen is solid Nick orange. @ the climactic moment, the Warners appear to shatter the logo. To say the intro was cut is putting it mildly. It now consists --- in its entirety --- of the following:
It's time for Animaniacs
And we're zany to the max (to footage of "We've got pay or play contracts")
So just sit back & relax (to "We are zany to the max")
You'll laugh 'till you collapse (to "There's baloney in our slacks")
We're Animani-
Totally insane-y
Miss-Cellany (to "Shirley McLaine-y)
Animaniacs
Those are the facts

It ain't pretty. And some of the eps I won't know what they cut. But I have been taping all of those that have been airing on CN & I have copies of one or two dozen more from KWB. And the end credits of the afternoon showings are scrunched to make way for more inane chozzerai from the slimers. But in the morning showings, there's absolutely no interference with the end credits @ all. In that regard it's better than CN, because no one's talking over the music or anything. All in all, it could be much better, but it could also be much worse.

Please, try to understand my position. I'm a relative newcomer. I didn't start watching any of these shows until 1999; I almost missed the KWB airings of A! completely. For the time being, what we have on Nick, I can live with. Do we have a choice? But one day, it will change for the better. Until then, I'd like to know just what the Warners & co. themselves think of the Nick treatment. Maybe there could be something on the storyboard showing that, or maybe even them making the powers that be their special friends. That may not work, as they must have given the K beast that treatment sometime ago, but it would be worth watching. For the time being, we'll just have to do with our tapes & memories of here's the show's name-y, Pinky & the Brain-y, Dana Delany, Frasier Crane-y, Eisenhower Mamie, Citizen Kane-y, Andromeda Strain-y, Quiche Lorraine-y, Bangor Maine-y, Lake Champlain-y, Mr. Haney, Tarzan & Jane-y, meet Mark Twain-y, here's the Flame-y, come back Shane-y, where's Lon Chaney, Hunchback of Notre Dame-y, Penny Lane-y, bowling lane-y, chicken chow mein-y, no pain no gain-y, rain in Spain-y, cockamamie, how urbane-y, hydroplane-y, money down the drain-y, novocaine-y, Presidential campaign-y, high octane-y, public domain-y, qui ont des droles de manie, Ehh, Animani-ACS!

Uh-huh, I think we get the idea. :D

The hotel provides cable (for probably about $200 extra), so I watched A!

Unfortunately, that may have been the last time. Who wants to hear the complaints?

-Uh...is there a reason why they had to cut the lyrics like that? I mean, don't they have enough room?...Oh. Of course. We mustn't forget Slime Time. :mad:

-"Shirley McLaine-y" I could have *sworn* that she had said "Nickel-any". That's not true, riiiight?

-Hands up who actually heard the theme music at the end.

-Hands up who actually saw the credits in the space provided.

-Hands up who heard/saw the end tag. I knew what it was, but still...

I gotta give credit to Cartoon Network. Sure, they had their little annoying logo in the corner, but this is much worse. And the commercials for Cartoon Network's Animaniacs were funnier. Meanwhile, I've only seen one A! commercial on Nick. Okay. Running around to some strange music. Funny. Right.

Craig Marinaro

It ain't pretty.

Just saw it, and no, it ain't.

Nftnat's description is pretty accurate. The variable verse (animation originally used for "Shirley MacLaine-y," as he says) shows Dot looking into a crystal ball with the Nickelodeon logo, and she's not saying "Misc-Cellany"--she's saying "Nickel-aney." Aside from the fact that this eliminates one of the most creative running gags in the show (and also one of the series' *TRADEMARKS*), it makes absolutely no bleeding sense.

And yes, the song is chopped to nothing, an absolute desecration of Richard Stone's fabulous composition and orchestration, only months after his death. And beyond all that, they haven't merely stuck the "Nickelodeon" logo throughout the song as they did with P&tB--as Nftnat says, they stuck a full-screen "Nickelodeon" logo at the beginning, where the WB logo was in the original. They are clearly trying to pass this off as *THEIR* show.

My initial reaction was something akin to Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes, upon discovering the remains of the Statue of Liberty. As someone else noted, the real crime is that WB let them do this. I'll be writing some angry letters this weekend.

They urgently need those extra 40 seconds they trimmed off the intro, eh? And what about the cold opening segments? Does this mean they're going to be cut out?

They had TTA a couple of years ago, and I don't recall them sticking their obnoxious logo all over the intro. Looks bad for TTA. =X

And Nftnat, Looks like you got all the rhymes with 'name-y' listed. Job well done, NARF!

After reading this, Singin' Stray Cat's jaw falls to the floor in utter shock. There is silence for a solid hour. Finally she weakly utters something...

Egad. That sounds *REALLY* bad.

"Nickel-any"?!? Have the feeling it means they won't keep the variable verses from the different eps---just this custom-made-for-Nick one...

Though at least they're on the air I suppose....vs. being sliced-and-diced with other show's stuff for the Cat and Bunny Canadian "Loonie" "For Better or For Worse"-y Big Subsidized Health Care System Show...

[Cut to the A! gang, having gathered together at ACME Labs to watch this "treatment" of their series...all look decidedly shocked/dismayed/disgusted...]

YAKKO: Aaaaah....did I just see what I thought I saw?

BRAIN: (Flatly) Afraid so...

WAKKO: No pile of food for me to swallow?

DOT: (Flatly) "Nick-ellany"?! That isn't even a *REAL WORD*!

SLAPPY: (Flatly) And those feebs cut my part out for some razza-frazzin' "slime time" thingamajig ads!

PINKY: (Laughing) HAHAHA! Oh, great opening....but where's the rest of it? I mean, that can't be all of it, can it? (The others look at him disappointedly) Well, *can* it?! (The staring continues) But that's so *short*!

BRAIN: All the better...they'd probably just replace our part of the song with a "Nickelodeon"-themed planet Saturn or somesuch...(shudders). As if what they did to our opening on our *own* show wasn't bad enough...

YAKKO: Well, guess we know what we have to do now, guys....

PINKY: Um, get that Axel Foley fellow to yell at them until they air more "Mary Tyler Moore" reruns? POIT!

WAKKO: Go on a zany rampage at Nickelodeon's headquarters and force them to put on more "Mary Tyler Moore" reruns?

DOT: Accumulate on some pointless quest enough people to re-film "The Ten Commandments" as part of some wacky, hilarious, obscure-reference-laden new adventure while en route to Nickeldeon's headquarters to force them to air more "Mary Tyler Moore" reruns?

YAKKO: Aaaah, close...I was thinking more of just watching something else. (Whips out a "Mary Tyler Moore" videotape) That show sounds good, though...

WAKKO & DOT: *Oh*.... ok!

I'll maybe catch one episode, to really see the awful damage for myself. At least I can say that I saw it:rolleyes:

The pasting-the-ugly-orange-logo thing is fairly recent. They showed WB shows before without ruining the actual content. There was the Looney Tunes on Nickelodion opening, but at least that was their own creation and it didn't reck the actual cartoons. Who knows how it would be if they still had Looney Tunes. I'll bet they'd computer colorize the concentric circles orange and replace the WB sheild with their nasty orange logo.

I just can't get myself to watch that network anymore, it feels so fake, like I'm being shoved head first into a pile of orange dung. At least CN's watermark isn't everywhere, shape-shifting, and orange...

I really fear for TTA if it's going to be on that network (please say it isn't true).


JACK:(

BourgeoisBuffoon
09-05-2001, 06:46 AM
TTA was already on, but then it had never got the editing, if I remember correctly...but if it goes back on, it probably WILL get the "orange treatment". I'll still watch it when I can, though....this is one of the few chances I'll get to see A! again...but I'll try to be optimistic and say that they'll still keep SOME gag lyrics.
....that was a good sketch, Brainatra! :D Nothing could be closer to the truth.

09-05-2001, 09:19 AM
Saw the opening this morning before I saw any of the summaries of it, I wish I had though. I don't think I recall hearing Nick-allany during the opening, the punchline shot this morning was when Dot said Shirley Maclan-ey, I guess I wasn't paying attention. I likely won't have anymore time to though since A! airs during times when I'm busy for the next 9 months, and from the sound of things you'd pay to be in that position.

Thad Komorowski
09-05-2001, 01:49 PM
Hmm, maybe I WILL buy some of those A!, P&B, and TTA videos I see everywhere, when I score some cash.

Also, I think if WB gave them a package of LT&MM cartoons, I don't think they'd allow them to alter them, like actually REMOVE the WB logo from the openings. They probably would remove the opening and closing titles and remove most references to the WB like in "Porky in Wackyland" and "You Ought to Be in Pictures".

Go to amazon.com, type in "jay and silent bob", scroll down until you find the soundtrack and listen to the first part of "Idiots vs. the Internet".

Well, all of the Nick eps I've seen so far has had that. Ick.

For anyone who's interested to the actual definition of "nickel-any"...

Well, duh? Do ya have any nickels???

I actually have this strong feeling that they mean, "Give us all your nickels so we can continue smashing WB shows".

And I thought I was the only one here who recalled old Nick standards like You Can't Do That on Television (featuring a very unhygeinic short-order cook with--um--an interesting recipe for pancake batter) and Roundhouse ("This man needs a doctor!" "Star Trek] D*** it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a...um...never mind."). And of course, Salute Your Shorts, with Danny "Montana Max" Cooksey.
But what gets me is Nick at Nite, which is taking 90 percent of its shows from the eighties. Nothing against the decade, mind you, but I don't consider shows I watched as a teenager classics...yet! Talk to me in 20 years! I miss watching real vintage stuff like Get Smart, Dragnet, Donna Mills, and The Patty Duke Show! This youth-oriented teenybopper trend does nothing for me. I feel like I should be in the rocking chair eating mushy prunes....

Look on the bright side.

Sure they're beating the living poo out of the opening with logos and cuts. At least they're giving us a chance to see PATB and A!. I saw a full episode of PATB for the first time on that network! Now that A! is on at 5:30, I can watch it every day! Watch the network for the two great shows we can't get anywhere else. PATB and A! are like, THE greatest WB cartoons ever.

Yes! Nick Arcade! :D I remember all those - plus You Can't Do That on Television (barely) and Out Of Control, the first show I ever saw Dave Coulier in. The original Double Dare and the first episodes of Wild and Crazy Kids (before they changed the hosts) weren't half bad either. Man...I miss the days before Nick "grew up" ... now it's basically MTV Jr.... :(

BourgeoisBuffoon
09-07-2001, 07:48 PM
I agree with Nick being MTV Jr. It seems to me some shows are cut early to make room for whatever new video that's out on the charts right now; but VIACOM may be doing this to hook the kids up onto MTV when they get older.

Remember the kid you controlled in NICK ARCADE? He was so funny! And I LOVED You Can't Do That On Television...saw a rerun of it years ago; it was hilarious...but I barely remember it either. :(

As a kid, we had cable in the 80's, and I enjoyed watching "You Can't Do That On Television" (which was the source of the Nickelodeon slime association: for those on here too young to recall, whenever a character said "I don't know" on that show, they got slime dumped on 'em. And if they said "water", water got dumped instead. Said show also briefly featured Alanis Morissette at one point...). Also liked DangerMouse, "Rated K for Kids"(name of the show? it was movie reviews for kids, from the mid-80's), "Finder's Keepers" (a game show---look for hidden stuff somewhere in a room. Inspired me and my sister to play it "at home", which involved massive amounts of cleaning up in our rooms afterward, but was loads of fun...), and "Count Duckula" (noticed that the ditzy duck had an American accent vs. the Brit one of the others...). Also recall "Pinwheel" (the predecessor for "Nick Jr." in the early-to-mid 80's....it ran for hours in the daytime, killing lots of airtime in those cruder cable TV days [I recall the big fuss made when "Nick at Nite" was introduced, allowing them to stay on the air for 24 hours a day...before N@Nite, Nick would go off the air around 7-8 PM, and be taken over by some other channel IIRC). And of course, "Looney Tunes on Nickelodeon" (featuring lots of lame Daffy-Speedy cartoons and Buddy, who really *was* incredibly lame...though no lamer than Bosko was, I guess...).

There's not really any strict rule here about what type of language is acceptable and what isn't, and we're generally rather lenient if a person throws in a minor cuss or two on occasion...but your post had a *LOT* of what would be dubbed "offensive language," which has been removed by myself. Since you're a new user, we'll let it slide, but for future reference: This Board tends to gravitate more toward constructive / intelligent conversation and a somewhat family-friendly atmosphere. I know it can be difficult when you're angry about something, but please choose your words carefully in the future, and we'll all be much happier.

I also attempted to correct your link, although it still doesn't appear to lead anywhere.

If A! is on Nick now....will Wakko's Wish still be on Cartoon Theatre? Or will it, perchance, turn into a {shudder} "Nick Flick"? Or will they just not show it at all anymore?

Small question--what do Animaniacs and this whole attack have to do with each other?

I don't want to be paranoid too much, Animaniacs got nothing to do with the Pentgon Situation, I try to remain calm and post happy threads. I not try to crossover anything with this situation.


To put this in other way....I was talking to myself when I say I will be strong with this attack situation

Aaaaaaahhhhh. Y'know, it's good to talk to yourself. It promotes social skills.

So--continue talking to yourself! Heck, you don't even have to tell us when your talking to yourself, we'll just assume you were speaking to us! ;) :confused:
