TMNT is the best thing to happen to Nickelodeon since 90's SNICK

[sykosis]

It's been a long time since I've seen something to come from Nickelodeon that reminds me of how awesome that network's programming is since awesome shows like All That, are you afraid of the dark?, Kenan and kel, etc have gone off the air. Although this is an all new show I get a sense of nostalgia from it, a kind of excitement from a nick show that I thought was long gone since becoming an adult.

I, like most 80's born 90's kids hold a special place in their hearts for the "ninja turtles" and I'm proud of how this series is turning out as if it were really an extension of me.

[Dirty Blond]

Yup. Bring back Ren & Stimpy, too.

[The Stryker]

Lies.

Spongebob, Drake & Josh, iCarly. Get off the nostalgia kick.

[DonatelloNinja82]

While I agree somewhat with your statement, as I loved SNICK, there have been a lot of great shows on Nick recently. Drake and Josh, Avatar the Last Airbender is just amazing....Korra....to name a few :) I like Danny Phantom, too, it's cute.

[sykosis]

Lies.

Spongebob, Drake & Josh, iCarly. Get off the nostalgia kick.

As a 26 year old man I can say the latter two never appealed to me. Spongebob airing originally in 1999 while I was still in 8th grade I will agree was good but would probably not have appealed to me otherwise as the newer episodes cannot hold my attention.

This thread is a nod to nostalgia, so hopping off it would be counter productive, bromundo

[The Stryker]

But to say that Ninja Turtles is the best thing to happen to Nick since the 90s is ridiculous especially when you just brush off other shows. Also, now Spongebob doesn't count because later episodes suck? Buh?

Avatar was and is a huge hit. Victorious is doing some great things.

[sykosis]

Yes. To me, yes.

[The Stryker]

Then you should add that your statement instead of making a broad sweeping one that isn't true at all.

Also you're keeping yourself away from some good sh*t.

If there no orange soda, "submitted for the approval of the midnight society", or big orange couch then it's not Nickelodeon

Only to nostalgic nut clutchers that can't accept that things move onnnnnn.

[HerpDerp]

It's amazing how many people aren't aware that the producer of All That and K&K also created a lot of Nick's modern shows like D&J, iCarly and Victorious.

[Dirty Blond]

Bring back Salute Your Shorts!

[ZariusTwo]

Most of those shows listed, Kennan and Kel in particular, are tame as all s*it and do not hold up at all in comparison to something like Legend of Korra.

It's amazing how many people aren't aware that the producer of All That and K&K also created a lot of Nick's modern shows like D&J, iCarly and Victorious.That. And he's still rollin' with upcoming spin-offs.

But yeah, I was all into that stuff. I was all onboard through The Amanda Show, and I started growing out of it during Drake & Josh. But it's still what it is. I don't think Dan Schneider got worse, we just grew up.

Now you're talking.

[Ninjawolf]

I agree... TMNT, A:TLA and LoK are the best shows for Nick... I hate the ****ing tween shows they've ruined Nick... but yeah I think LoK and TMNT will bring back the 90's Nick (and I hope those tween spin-offs flop...)

They've ruined Nick by pretty much keeping it afloat when Spongebob's popularity died down?

How about watching iCarly or Victorious before dismissing them as dumb 'tween' shows. They're no different from Kenan and Kel or Clarissa explains it all.

I've seen a few episodes and hated them... tween shows are usually by definiton ****... pretty much anything aimed at tweens is **** (hello Justin Beaber) nowadays because tween girls don't have any taste (again Justin Beaber)

Wow. So you're one of THOSE people. Newsflash, the SNICK lineup was Tween before that was even a term! I still say that iCarly is a better show then half of the original nick stuff.(People think of Hey Dude fondly? Are you serious?)

Also it's Bieber and 'As long as you love me' is an awesome song. Word.

Nostalgia is such an awful thing. Prevents people from giving new things a chance. Case in point, this thread.

-shrug- maybe so but I was a little kid in the 90's if the same shows were on now I'd probaly dislike them like I do the curent tween shows... but a lot of the tween shows are just so samey and vanilla... same for Disney the shows are popular yes but they are also rubbish...

[Powder]

iCarly is hilarious, take your heads out of your inner childs asses. Your tastes changed, not that of kids.

[Jester]

iCarly isnt too bad, my kids enjoy watching it, plus its totally cool that Tim Russ is a character on it (for u Star Trek fans out there)...but I dont care for Victorious...the kid with the puppet freaks me out. lol

[zodiac brave]

seems to be a question of demographics.

the crap thats on the air today is made to appeal to the same age group that the crap from back then was made for. im sure people who grew up watching the crap from the early 80's hated the snick type stuff from the 90's.

That said, *ahem* if you're older than like 20, 21and without kids and you're defending all these tween shows (notice i gave a 9 year leeway...) and saying they're great, well written entertainment, then...:lol:

:P

to each their own i guess... i mean, im 29 tomorrow and i spend a lot of time on a tmnt forum...

[Cure]

TMNT is going for a younger demographic than your despised "tween shows", people. Think twice where you are before calling someone out for liking ICarly or Victorious.

[sykosis]

Well I have watched these tween shows by accident and that are not anything worth writing home about. You're correct my tastes have changed but watching old episode of kenan and kel online is far more refreshing than icarly or drake and Josh. those shows are unfunny. And yes I am aware that they have the same creator but it doesnt make these new shows good. The Amanda show sucked.


And bring back salute your shorts for sure

[The Stryker]

Yo. For real?

Salute your shorts SUCKED. That show was boring as sh*t outside of the awful waffle shenanigans.

Also, how the hell do you watch a show by accident? Methinks someone is full of iiiitt.

and as for nick tmnt not being a tween show..maybe you don't know what a tween show is and thats why you're defending them so ardently.

I feel the same. Great post!

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Really? I like Victorious quite a bit, though I do think the kid with the puppet can be creepy at times. I don't watch it all the time, but I catch it when I can or when I remember it's on. iCarly isn't my cup of tea, but if people like it as well as Spongebob, then so be it. There's nothing wrong with that. To each their own.

[pannoni1]

I remember being so excited Saturday evening before SNICK to the point that when I saw the clock at 6 PM Eastern, I knew it was coming, plus there were some great shows along the way. But the live action shows today on Nick tend to be based more off of stars than the '90s shows did. I prefer classic Nick reruns along with non-Nick sitcoms, but its great to see my #1 network growing up to be looking upward!

You're retarded. Any Saturday morning cartoon aims for a younger crowd than a teen sitcom. You're making yourself look dumb by calling older people for liking those shows when posting on a TMNT forum. I guess you didn't take my advice to think twice.

[Jester]

Salute Your Shorts stared Venus De Milo, that's enough for Turtle fans to dislike it.


.............................................



Um....I've just been handed a note that the actress Venus De Milo is in no way related to the female 5th turtle of the same name. Carry on.

Guy. You do.

You're sitting here acting like someone is wrong for liking a show that's primarily aimed at 13-16 year olds when you're praising the new TMNT which is primarily aimed at 10 year olds. Don't act like it's not a show for kids either because it is.

Get off of your high horse. You're riding it backwards anyway.

Who it is aimed at does not negate the fact that it is a better product than any of the live action shows you are trying to defend

[The Stryker]

That's not a fact at all. That's pretty much the definition of subjective.

Also his whole argument is "You shouldn't like the show if you're over X years of age" had nothing to do with OPINIONS on the qualities of said shows.

[sykosis]

Science can prove that it's a fact. And age has nothing to do with it

[HerpDerp]

They did an scientific study that showed TMNT is better than Nick's live-action shows?
Cool.

[FoxZerro]

iCarly is amazing... I thought it was bull and then I realized I was watching it with my sister and that it was actually good. I'll demonstrate it this way I once had five guys all over the age of twenty in my living room and we sat and watched the iDate a Bad Boy episode of iCarly by choice.

I loved Snick but I am big enough to admit that iCarly, Big Time Rush, Victorious, and whatever Fourth Show (Bucket and Skinner/How to Rock?) that show on Saturday Nights are this generations Snick and I look forward to them waging the same war with each other in 2022 when they think iCarly was way better than "Three Toms" Nickelodeon's hit new show about three teenagers named Tom getting into various hijinks as they try to get their band off the ground whilst braving the perils of High School

[Telekinesis]

Completely agree with this being the best thing to happen since '90s Snick. It's nice to look forward with anticipation for a Turtles series once again. I tuned in to watch the 2003 run here and there, but I'm really loving this new show. I just think it's a perfect blend of laughs and depth. Very excited.

Had to run out and grab the new Playmates figures when I noticed them, along with the Shellraiser. So stoked that not only is the show looking great, but the toy line is fantastic to boot.

It's a little late to play that card. Nice try.

[CyberCubed]

Truthfully unless you have a younger sister, there is no real reason to watch tween sitcoms with underage girls.

There are already enough "real" teen sitcoms airing on WB and Fox if you want to sit through them.

Or better yet watch, "New Girl" or "Two Broke girls" if you want comedies with female leads.

[zodiac brave]

nah, it's not. go look at my original post. either way, it doesnt matter because

It's not about watching a show with girls as the leads. I watch shows that I find entertaining. That's about it. Also....you keep on mentioning this underage thing. They're all like 30 nowadays and even then who gives a sh*t?

Again, you can apply this logic to the TMNT show. Unless you have a little brother there's really no reason to watch stupid action cartoons made to sell toys.

The girls on Victorious and icarly are all in their early 20's in real life, what are you talking about?

I suggest you watch "New Girl" on Fox with Zoey Deschannel. Its more age relevant for a 25 year old.

And I suggest you stop obsessing over children's cartoons since you're all about age relevancy.

Also that show sucks. Happy Endings is where it be.

[sykosis]

Zooey Deschanel is gorgeous and enough reason why new girl is a much better show than victorious, and that brown co star is reason why its a better show than icarly

So opinion is now science....

Seems legit.

Brown..... Co-star.

Wow.

[Jester]

Yeah...I wasn't gonna touch that one. I don't watch iCarley so I have no clue what he means and if it should be taken...well..."that way."

I never knew you were a scientist, Powder.

I'm not a racist I just don't know her race.
You can assume I'm white I suppose, but I'm not

[Jester]

Again, you can post her...you know...name.

[CyberCubed]

Why would you call her a "brown" person? I assume you mean you think she's Indian or mixed?

[sykosis]

I don't remember her name.. Hannah something. Being a shade of brown myself I don't find it offensive. Political correctness does more damage. Blatant racism I don't agree with.
I am not prejudice against anyone

And I don't know what race she is

[Jester]

I don't remember her name.. Hannah something.

Thanks to the wonders of the internet, which you are using to view this forum, I find that she is Hannah Simone.

Took, like, 5 seconds, man.

[Slade]

Most of this board is basically for nostalgia, but as far as nostalgia goes, seems some people love it while others hate it. Either way seems fine. I'm will say I'm in agreement with the older shows being better than the new ones and I have watched iCarly and the Drake and Josh. Just couldn't get into them. Can't really knock anybody that watches them as I used to love watching Hannah Montanna and Wizards of Waverly Place.

And on a side note, TMNT has actually gotten Nic back ony tv viewing schedule.

[BubblyShell22]

I mostly watch Nick for Kung Fu Panda, Winx Club, TMNT, and Victorious when I can catch it. I like that they have shows I can enjoy. And for the ones I don't enjoy, there's a nice little thing called the remote.

And dissing others for liking what they like is not cool.

[METALHEAD]

Only to nostalgic nut clutchers that can't accept that things move onnnnnn.

yea, but thats your nick. my nick was from the 80s and 90s, when spongebob camearound, nick stopped being nick.

[The Stryker]

Right. In the 90s it was a channel with live action shows aimed at teens with some cartoons thrown in.

Nowadays......it's exactly the same.

Sure you may not like the shows but you can't say Nick has changed themselves THAT much.

Opinion time, The first 3 seasons of Spongebob are better than any other Nicktoon's entire runs. There's a reason it became as big as it did during that time.

You'd better have science to back that up, sir.



SCIENCE!!!!

[sykosis]

for the record, I have not said that anybody's opinion is stupid.

Also I can see the people who get heated and offended easily tried to sway the topic against me because of a poor choice of words. I am slightly offended because though I never insulted anyone I was quickly called racist because I didn't choose a PC way of going about something.

this post was not made in all seriousness, and obviously it is an opinion. Science clearly cannot prove my opinion to be the correct one, but calm the **** down.

I am not on my soapbox telling people to stop nostalgiaing or if you are going to like a show from one demographic you have to enjoy shows from another. All i said was that TMNT is the best show to happen to Nickelodeon, Zooey Deschanel is hot and so is her co-star Hannah Simone.

You're not the only one, dude. This is why the fandom is in such a sad state. We're all too quick to get on each other's case over such trivial details. I do my best to make peace with people, but sometimes it feels like I'm better off keeping my trap shut than attempt to kiss and make up!

TMNT is like pot, its natural, gets you in a trippy good mood, and its just far out man. :tlol:

As opposed to TMNT which is built on being a toy pushing money making machine that kids'll hopefully beg to have once they've gotten a taste. The shows are peas in a pod man.

But I get it. It's another one of those typical "I don't like it so everyone who does is wrong" things.

Also on the Brown Girl thing. Could've just said her co-star. You get all huffy about being PC but is common sense not in your wheelhouse either? C'mon dawg.
