Nick Standards and Practices

Dirty Blond · 10-10-2011, 12:25 PM

What is Nick like today? I haven't watched it in years, but I do remember when John K., the creator of Ren & Stimpy, was forced out. After that, the series was not that good.

Something tells me this series will be less action-oriented and more funny.

And if that's the case, it'd better be really funny!

If u look on the Official Nick thread the people who were invited saw some pretty cool stuff, and from what they were told everyone would be "surprised" at how serious the storyline was going to be.

Its hard to say we jst have 2 wait and see

Nick has been airing action cartoons like Wolverine and the Xmen, Avatar, and Dragonball Kai.

I don't think you have anything to worry about in terms of
action.

Yeah but xmen and dragonball z kai are only on teen nick and avatar doesnt even appear on nick any more it seems like....

*Bauer536* · 10-10-2011, 03:18 PM

I'm not going to be that bothered. Think of this, Dirty Blonde: OT meets 2k3. There's going to be that classic humor mixed in with unbelievable action. I wasn't at the event, but after what I heard, I'm confident this is what it will sound like.

Currently, I feel Nickelodeon's programming/management to be hit-and-miss. I find that 10 Spongebob episodes daily is too much, and that Nick at Nite is suffering from a similar "marathon fatigue" problem with just a few shows, though they have added more shows lately from the "millenial era" of around 10 years ago. At least it appears that Nick is planning to increase production for the next couple years which means more variety and I feel that Nickelodeon may be starting to improve a bit from the blahs of the past decade. Family Brainsurge is it's first real gameshow in many years, there is already a Ninja-themed show called "Super Ninja", and also that some of the younger staff of Nick grew up during its golden age, and that will draw inspiration and create a new generation of "Nick-friendly" program. I'd even say that Nick is probably at it's best in terms of programming in about a decade, and such improvement would boost ratings, and that can be great news for TMNT: G3 success.

I agree. I just think the Supah Ninjas are going to be kaput once the TMNT kicks their butt on the ratings.

Also, enough with the marathon of Spongebob already! Play a marathon of The Penguins for pete's sake!

cryan · 10-10-2011, 03:41 PM

I agree,the Penguins are more entertaining then Spongebob.I am suprised we haven't seen much in terms of new images from the new TMNT series.

Sorry...carry on.

Dirty Blond · 10-10-2011, 07:56 PM

I guess I shouldn't be too worried since early promos showed Don and Raph wielding bladed weapons, though I want them to stick to the Bo and Sai.

Grappling hook, anyone?

*Donnie* · 10-10-2011, 10:30 PM

Nick has surprised me in the recent past by airing a lot of older audience (sexually suggestive, adult situations) shows on Nick at Nite (Friends, That 70s Show). It's a promising sign, regardless of whether or not TMNT will be on at night.

Avatar airs on Nicktoons and regular Nick airs Power Rangers.

*Powder* · 10-11-2011, 02:16 AM

Nick today isn't so bad. A lot of people that have their nostalgiagoggles on too tight seem to think it's total crap, but it's really kinda alright.
Some shows aren't so hot, but it's not like everything they aired in the 90's was made of gold either. I'm sure the turtles will be dope.

TobTurn · 10-11-2011, 09:29 AM

Well, Avatar was pretty serious and that's coming back in 2012 with new episodes(!!!!), just like TMNT. So they can do serious stuff if they want, I only hope the writers want that. I too hope there will absolutely no slapstick humor or pathetic characters in terms of sillyness. A character can be silly, but not OT-silly please.

Yeah agree with u I cant stand how much Slapstick the OT had at times..... I dont mind slapstick from time to time..... But I cannot wait for the new avatar series!!!!!!Its gonna be awesome, I dont know how its gonna live up to the first series

Stingray69 · 10-11-2011, 08:30 PM

Guys nick airs degrassi that shows pretty adult. It's got killings and all kind of crap going on. In one episode some teen stabs and kills another teen. So I'm pretty sure nick will be ok with a little violence and that it won't be to kiddy.

That's TEEN nick, for TEENS. This is a kids show, I doubt they're looking to push the envelope.
