I don't understand why the show doesn't have its own timeslot. As a kid, no matter what, I knew that if I tuned into Nick on a certain day and time, I was going to see said show every time, even if it was a rerun. I'm under the impression that Nick doesn't do this with this show.

Kids of today watch more youtube than anything on actual TV. Our generation is over, this is not the way kids of these days watch things.

Sorry guys, the youtube generation killed TV.

This should be irrelevant, though. All shows should still have a designated time slot regardless if some people watch the shows online for whatever the reason.

Yeah Hate that. I've assumed some shows not owning a spot anymore may partly come down to that there are just a lot more cartoon/kid shows now than there was back then. Though it doesn't excuse all the times that sponge gets a repeat in the Turtle's spot instead of the Turtles. The one thing that's on million times a day anyhow. How insulting... (I could sort of understand if another cartoon was airing a new one.)

Bad enough they got moved to 9am. What good is it to have them on at an hour that many are either still asleep or at church... They couldn't have given them a worse spot unless it was aired during the school (or work) day the rest of the year.

Didn't have to work this morning, like I often do, so I was able to catch it, but thanks to it being on at 9am I slept through the first 10 min. To add salt to the time shift, when I do have to work... even though my shifts are short these days, I'd still miss the repeat on another channel since that's at Noon now instead of 2pm when I might have been able to catch it after work now. *sigh* Thanks Nick.

Probably money. Just take season 4 as an example. By keeping it running from late-October 2015 to late-February 2017 with longer breaks, Nickelodeon could market the season with all its toys over almost two years, to the cost of just producing one season.
