2010 Kids Choice Awards
 

Mileyyyyy Woo!

Wait. How did Dylan Sprouse win but not the other one? That's not nice at all.

Yes, finally someone else who likes Miley Cyrus who isn't me! YAY!

The only upsetting thing on that list is the book is Diary of a Wimpy Kid and yet best couple is Edward and Bella.

What are kids choice awards? Is it a show on Nickelodeon?

Yes...........

You guys actually watch the Kids Choice Awards? Why? Its so cliche. Those winners are so typical, not that theres much to choose from in the "Teen" world.

Sorry but I stopped watching Nick all together years ago. Not gonna go into that but the only thing good about the Kids Choice Awards are the side stuff like sliming. I used to watch it when Nick was still kinda good.

TRUTH!


:tgrumble:

Actually not truth. That whole attitude of "things were better in mah day" is cliche.

Nick has put out some genuinely funny shows since the so called "golden age" died out.

At some point I just felt that Nickelodeon had nothing left to teach me. Once they stopped showing re-runs of Clarissa, Salute Your Shorts and Hey Dude, I was gone. After that I got my TV education from Moesha.

Seriously? You cant tell me that current Nick is just as good or better than it was in the 90s or even early '00s. You just cant.

The majority of their line up is Spongebob, iCarly and a Game Show (BrainSurge, previously My Family has GUTS to be in this awful remake).

The rest is Nick Jr and Nick @ Nite and what seem to be random reruns scattered between Spongebobs.

Thats nothing compared to the variety they used to have. Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, Doug, Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Rockos Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, GUTS, Nick Arcade, Hidden Temple, Crazy Kids, Get the Picture, Double Dare, Figure It Out. Thats not even counting SNICK (Afraid of the Dark?, All That, Kenan and Kel).

Sure every once in awhile they bring in a new show. Then after about 5 episodes they take it to Nicktoons to die. Their current shows arnt even good. Anything live-action uses a Laugh Track (much like Disney).

Sorry but Nick sucks now. Its not about "Back in my day" or "golden age" its just the obvious truth.

It's not truth actually, It's an opinion.

I'll take iCarly anyday over that boring hunk of nothing that was Hey Dude. Have you watched an episode of Nick Arcade lately? It's NOT good. At all.

The only show I still enjoy a crazy amount from the live action side of things is Kenan and Kel.

EDIT: Also, you state that it's not about nostalgia but your reasons for Nick sucking now is because it's not as good as the old Nick.

Your comparing iCarly to 1 show I listed? :lol:

Nick Arcade isnt even on the air anymore so I dont know what your talking about there. They had reruns on Nick GaS but they got rid of that channel.

Even if the current shows were good it still cant compare to all the vareity they had in the 90s. Which is obvious from everything I listed.

You couldn't defend their daily schedule because there is nothing to defend it with. Sorry but even if you enjoy their current shows Nick still can not compare with its 90s-self.

You obviously think current Nick is great and/or better than it used to be (for whatever reason) so Im just gonna stop here. Everything that needed to be said was said.

It's called the internet. Might wanna look into that thing.

Icarly, Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents, Jimmy Neutron, Mighty Bee, Wayside, All Grown Up, Back At the Barnyard, Ned's Declassified, Drake and Josh, Avatar, Rugrats (still is playing). I can name random shows too. Most of those are pretty good too.

Well, that's on account that the kids they had on the show totally SUCKED at videogames.

Seriously, one of the challenges I remember was to get 30 rings in Sonic the Hedgehog. I think they died. And it was the FIRST LEVEL.

I don't think its cliche but thats just my opinion. One gripe I have is the difference in animation. I can't say that technology hasn't 'improved' it but its just not my preferance. Alot of old toons had shadows & stuff kinda like in comic books & it seems like thats slowly phasing out. Maybe I'm mistaken, I don't truly watch enough TV to be sure...

Another thing is it seems to me alot of voice actors nowadays kinda suck. Sometimes its just too painfully obvious that so&so is voicing this guy this guy & that guy & the other guy. I know its for kids, and they generally don't catch on but still... Pat Fraley for instance, he was a beast.

CGI- It's an aquired taste that I haven't picked up yet.

I'll agree that there are some funny shows on nick now though... As much as I hate to admit it- I've laughed out loud at iCarly many times though the laughtrack makes me want to do otherwise. Back to the barnyard isn't too bad... & I do like alot of the stuff that came out shortly after the 'golden age'- Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron, & especially The Fairly Oddparents (but... maybe these are considered old now).

At the end of the day, to me, there just seems to be alot less substance & variety. Kids these days have less & less of an attention span too so I'd think they might want to do broader things with different styles of animation & so fourth. Even so, kids now watch adult swim whereas in my day such a thing would not go down. Maybe abstract (sans offensive content- for the kids) is the only way to go. Cartoon Network seems to have that down now- Chowder for instance, that weird show with the kid and the pirate, & the new one (supersomething) with the weird meme-like characters are three good examples.

I was like so going to say the same thing about the older cartoons, but I just stayed quiet about that one.

Okay, this is where I'm going to have to call you out, big time. It was just as apparent back in the day as it is today - there are some that you haven't the foggiest that Actor A is actually characters X, Y, and Z, and some that are easy to tell. It was the same damn thing back in the 80's and 90's. Hell, approximately half of the voice actors working today are the same guys and gals you're championing.

First of all Im talking about Nick's primary channel. Not Nicktoons which is the one that shows Rugrats, Avatar and and some of their other cartoons.

I really liked All Grown Up but just because they still show re-runs doesn't mean it makes their line-up any better. Theyre re-runs. If they had kept it going then itd be diffrent.

I checked (and you can check too. I cant post the link because its through sorta a flash grid) TV Guide.com's Nick schedule and the majority of their daily line up is, as I said, Spongebob and iCarly.

Theres like 6 episodes of iCarly and 8 episodes of Spongebob...which if my math is correct, together, iCarly and Spongebob take up 7 hours of their daliy schedule.

The rest is, seems random might not be, single episodes of Fairly Oddparents, Madgascar Penguins and some other shows scattered between Carly and Bob over the course of the entire week (example, one day might be Oddparents, the next is Penguins and so on).

I checked my satellite TV Guide too and it matches the one from TVGuide.com. Not to metion Nick @ Nite starts ridiculously early now.

Most of the shows you mentioned are reruns of shows that don't get new eps anymore, like Rugrats, All Grown Up, Drake and Josh and Jimmy Neutron. I took a look at Nicks website to see what they air and where all those show they listed come from is beyond me. Must be Nicktoons and TeeNick.

I see Oddparents still gets new episodes. Didnt know. I liked that show. Anyway my point is, whether you like the few shows (primary) Nick airs or not since thats upto opinion and taste, their schedule in no way compares to their 90s or even early '00s line up.
