    Your feelings about the awful Nick channel

    Well, I think it's awful. Do you think they air anything good?

    Hopefully, maybe they will air Zim, or Ren and Stimpy. Heck, maybe they will play some classic MTV animated serries on late night.

    Hmm... Nick? Well.. lets just say that I consider them an analog to the toilet paper sitting in my bathroom right now.
    My origins have been clouded in mystery... some say that I was once a man, known as Hamato Yoshi. Another tale states that I was once merely a humble pet rat of a man named Hamato Yoshi. For the record allow me to state that both are true... and yet, neither is true. Such is the way of Ninjitsu.

    Nick has made some very stupid decisions, but they still air some good shows. Spongebob, Invader Zim, The Fairly Oddparents are on Nick. Serious stuff can be seen with Hey Arnold. So they've done SOME good stuff...

    Nick would be a lot better IMO if they could at least take out SlimeTime Live and stop showing all the Klasky-Csuspo junk....but what would I know, having watched that network for all my life?

    I hate to say it, but while Nick has turned into a little MTV, it probably won't get any other MTV series other than Ren and Stimpy. Besides, Nick at Night still exists...

    Prehaps watered-down corn syrup and food coloring. It's harmless, and if some gets in your mouth, it doesn't taste *too* bad.

    I think Nick and Nite is intended to put people to sleep.

    I could probably name many shows that are better than Spongebob, but that's only my opinion.

    The Nick Toons channel will be great for those that have satellite, but for cable users let me put it this way:

    A. You will have to pay extra for the channel
    or
    B. You won't even be able to pay extra for the channel, because your cable monopoly won't care to carry it.

    Of course, satellite TV is a monopoly as well; Primestar went out of business, and DirecTV, Blockbuster, USSB, and Dish Network merged.

    If the new channel becomes an outlet for the "lost" eps of Angry Beavers and Zim, as well as the classic Ren and Stimpy episodes (you know, before John K. got canned for, well, being John K.) then I won't mind it one bit.

    Nick at Nite

    Honestly, they don't air anything made before the eighties. nNothing against that age of prosperity, but I don't consider a show "classic" if it was made in my own lifetime! That move, as well as the emphasis on bubblegum pop, is a conspiracy to make me feel old....

    At least there's TV Land, where Get Smart and Hogan's Heroes, real classics, air. Now if only they'd bring back Mr. Ed....

    I think the slime has a gelatin base, myself...corn syrup by itself isn't quite that thick....

    Interesting how the classic shows that first aired on Nick at Night used to be from about 30 years ago, then. Now it's crept down to about 15 years. BTW, Cheers, mainly considered an 80's show, lasted until '93.

    As to the Nick Toons Channel, does anyone else think (fear) they might move P&TB, A!, and yet to be seen again TTA to there? Poit.

    Re: Your feelings about the awful Nick channel

    In my opinion They might as well put on "Watching Paint Dry: LIVE!" instead of all the krud they put on that channel. The only things that are remotely watchable on Nick are SpongeBob, The Fairly Oddparents, The Angry Beavers, Invader Zim, and the occasional Ren & Stimpy cartoon. That's why my motto is "Nick+PAX+UPN=a cure for insomnia".

    If's it's just going to be all Nicktoons, then the network has disaster written all over it. Nobody will watch a network with just network-created projects (CN will, no doubt, be paying attention to Nicktoon TV).

    But, if they actually acquired shows from their olden days, like the old Saban shows (Maya, Grimm's Fairy Tales, Spartacus), Inspector Gadget, and the Cosgrove-Hall shows (Dangermouse and Count Duckula), went deep into Paramount's classics vaults digging out the old theatricals and the Terrytoons shows, and aired the Hanna-Barbera-produced Paramount sitcom spinoffs, then Nicktoons TV could actually be watchable.

    Then again, this is a network that neutered Ren and Stimpy and killed Invader ZIM. Nick isn't quite known for their smarts.
    What does the X stand for? It's definitely not Extreme. Extreme starts with E.

    no... good died out when they dumped "You can't say that on television".

    Now it's just lame teenie bopper stuff (but hey--- it's FOR teenie boppers) so why should I complain?


    the world's got enough of that teen junk anyway, lol
