Why isn't TMNT coming on at 11:00 AM and why are they airing a rerun?

Well, we have to. I don't know why Rabbids Invasion was on, but it was. Hopefully next week, Turtles will be on at the regular time.

HA.:lol: Well played. I thought the exact same thing. I live in constant fear, with both shows on the same network, they're destined to cross over again...

So good to have the TMNT & Rabbids together again.

Although, I'm ticked the Rabbids get their own show while poor Rayman still has to be content with staring in amazing good platforming games.

The Rabbids should be in an episode of Happy Tree Friends and we'll never have to worry about this happening again.

Had it ever occurred to Nick that "Rabbids" is mostly a bunch of dried-out jokes that have been used too much? Also, I don't get why Nickelodeon is calling it one of its "star" shows since every episode gets 1.7 million viewers every new episode -.-

Hopefully the Rabbids are gone by the time their Season 1 ends (which won't be long), but it should've ended on its first damn episode.

Most of Nick's cartoons don't last more than a season, heck, sometimes they don't even bother to air all the episodes *coughplanetsheencough* and when a show DOES do pretty good and last more than a season, they rarely show it in fear that it will overshadow the sponge *coughtuffpuppycough*. This obviously isn't the case with TMNT, however, since it's making them millions.

Yeah, I never got the point of the Rabbids show. Didn't look funny to me so hopefully it won't stick around. However, I have a feeling that it will.

I don't get why everyone here wants all the other shows on Nick cancelled. I actually like Rabbids Invasion. :trazz:

Because they feel its competition for TMNT. They want every other Nick show canceled so TMNT reigns supreme.

I don't really want Rabbid cancelled either. Nor do I want it to go on. I'm pretty much neutral on it as far as that goes. I've never played the original games they were in, so my experience with them is purely through TMNT.

And seeing as how their connection to TMNT is being in a video game where they absolutely did not belong, when there were so many other characters that would have been great to have there...yeah, I think you can see why I don't care for the little buggers. :P

It seriously doesn't. I saw the first four eps. I actually like the video game, but then I watched it and...........:o:ohwell::x:-? It has absolutely no point.

Not really. Let's take a look at their other shows, shall we?

SpongeBob - Must I say anything? It's been exaggerated to the point it just isn't funny. The characters have become so unlikable! The stories and comedy are absolutely retarded, heck, the only good thing about THIS is the animation.

Fairly OddParents - Pretty good. They never order new episodes for it though -.-

Rabbids - I've said it already. It's a bunch of dry physical comedy filled with jokes that have been used a million times.

Sanjay and Craig - An attempt at Ren and Stimpy. A bad attempt at Ren and Stimpy. It's mostly a gross-out show with most jokes very cringe-able (if that's even a word...). And like almost every show we've talked about (except for FOP), it's dry, dry, dry humor.

Penguins of Madagascar - Eh. It's kinda the same formula over and over. It just gets very stale fast. Literally, it's like the TV equivalent of "Planes", it's just the most average thing I've ever seen.

Kung Fu Panda - Yay. Great action scenes. Honestly, this one's a big letdown over its movie series. First off, I gotta say, the replacement voice actors they found for these characters are pretty believable. Other than that, the action scenes are pretty cool, but most stories aren't that great and the comedy normally falls flat on its face, but when it's good, it's GOOD. So, it's okay.

Legend of Korra - Must I say anything? Epicness. The only GREAT series I've talked about so far. Moving on.

Monsters vs Aliens - Like Penguins of Madagascar, it's VERY average. However, it's leading more towards the bad side. The comedy is facepalm worthy most of the time. The story is just... stupid. The action is very meh. Moving on.

I don't want to talk about their Live-Action shows. Let me just say it this way: they all SUCK. (I know there's T.U.F.F Puppy (awesome) and Robot and Monster (horrible) but they only make new episodes on Nicktoons).

Okay, do you now get my riff here? Nickelodeon only has two awesome shows: TMNT and Korra. It's not like we want all competition eliminated, we just want more of Nick's shows to be more appealing, because we know that Nickelodeon can do MUCH better. ;)

Uh, you left out Winx Club which is probably the only other show other than Korra and TMNT that I watch on Nick.

Sponge Bob- Needs to end.

Fairly Odd Parents- Needs to end.

Sanjay and Greg- Horrible show, needs to end now.

Monsters vs Aliens- not bad but wish it was at least half as good as the movie.

Rabbids- Horrible show, needs to end now.

The Legend of Korra- Awesome show.

Ku-Fu Panda- Very repetitive and not nearly as good as the movies.

Penguins of Madagascar- not bad.

No, it hasn't officially ended, though they did start a new season and haven't aired many new episodes yet. Maybe they will once Halloween ends since Nick has been focusing on that.

Sanjay and Craig? Can't stand that show. I have to listen to all that screaming for about 6 or so mins up until TMNT comes on. That's mostly what modern day cartoons consist of. Kids running around screaming about nothing and random Family Guyish humor. SpongeBob was funny back when I was in Highschool but not anymore. I'm not saying every toon has to be dark and gritty. I really really enjoy Phineas and Furb. I actually laugh at the jokes in that show. That's about the only funny toon I can sit and watch these days. Rather pathetic, I know. Wondering if my parents thought the same about Ren and Stimpy/Rocko's Modern Life when I was a kid. I think I could even watch those two shows these days. Not sure as I haven't seen those two in years.

10-29-2013, 03:56 PM
Of those shows listed, I've only really seen a few.

Spongebob - Never really cared for it, at all. I like quite a few of the voice actors in it, oddly enough though.
Fairly Oddparents - Great show, though I think it may be jumping the shark...not too sure about the fairy dog.
Sanjay and Craig - Not interested.
Monsters V.S. Aliens - Not really interested here either.
Rabbids - Bleeeehhhh.
Korra - Great so far, not quite what I wanted from it, but still loving every bit of it.
Kung-Fu Panda - Pretty good, not one I go out of my way to watch, but it's okay.
Penguins - Pretty good IMO. But then again, they were the stars of the movies for me anyway.

In regards to Monsters VS Aliens. Yeah its not as good as the movie. S for SpongeBob, it needs to go. I do agree with the one poster about the characters not being likable. Patrick really gets on my nerves. Sometimes I want to punch him. I don't think we have anything to worry about with TMNT. The cartoon is very popular.

Wanting a show canceled is just super selfish. You aren't watching the show, so it doesn't affect you at all.

I'm confused about the Rabbids though. Were the games really THAT popular that it warranted it having its own series? That's like making a series about Ratchet and Crank.

Can't believe people still act like Spongebob is 'holding back' other shows.

Believe me, Nick WISHES that every show they had was as big as Spongebob was and continues to be. They aren't concerned about a show "overshadowing the sponge".

Are you kidding? It's not selfish. In fact, I swear that some of these shows are making kids DUMBER. I'm serious. I'm convinced of that.

Now, mostly, it does affect me. I've seen the uprisings and downfalls of SpongeBob, FOP, and Penguins. Believe me, it's been painful. It's always painful to watch a show go from so good to so bad. If a TMNT show ever turned mind-numbing, horrible, or whatever, I'd want it off the air, too. It's called helping the generation, not being hypocritical.

Now, as for the other shows.... well, I've already described why they need to be gone. But, I'm reasonable. If Nick can build up enough good shows and find the right team, they would have a reason to wipe out S&C, Rabbids, and other mind-numbing shows.

I will say this, however. I think it would be a good business decision to keep SpongeBob on as long as it has great ratings.

The 90's and early 2000's were the best time for cartoons. Most stuff from 2008 onward, with few exceptions, have been crap.

Even most DC and Marvel cartoons have been going to hell lately, and they used to pump out actual quality iterations.

The only really good, recent cartoons I can think of are

TMNT (duh)
Spongebob (although it's been getting stupider)
Gravity Falls
Phineas and Ferb (very repetitive but still a fun show)
Mickey Mouse

No, I'm not kidding. You don't want your kids watching it? Don't let them watch it. T'hell with anyone else's. Watching a goddamn TV show isn't going to make them dumber. There's going to be thousands of other factors. Wanting to deprive someone of something that they enjoy is so selfish it hurts.

:nod: You nailed it right there.

However, this discussion is seeming moot at the moment considering when they air a new episode on Saturday, TMNT will be back in its original timeslot. Maybe TMNT will be in an 11:30 timeslot when it airs reruns and 11 when it airs new episodes? Idk.
