What happened?

>>92471627
Spongebob killed the channel

2006. Due to the Viacom/CBS split in late 2005, a management shakeup occurred at Nick. Cyma Zarghami became president, the network became shit and spammed only one show(Spongebob) constantly while every other show is mistreated or pruned.

>>92471694
>Cyma Zarghami

funny, CN just put a "can't pronounce" in charge of programming and it's TTG 24/7

>>92471627
Everything went down hill when Spongebob ended.

>>92471754
Silly anon, it hasn't ended, haha.

>>92471754
this.

>>92471856
Wait what the fuck? I swear it ended right after the Movie.

>>92471754
t b h the newest season is the best one since everything after the movie.

Spongebob, like the simpsons and sesame street, will never end, why do networks keep their shows running for fucking decades?

>>92471743
>TTG 24/7
Yes.

Are you seriously asking that?

>>92472010
Oh, forgot that its becuase networks still profit off their long running shows

2004-2005 was when it all hit rock bottom. The cancellation of "Rugrats," "Hey Arnold", "CatDog", and "Rocket Power" and the appearance of bland replacement shows like Catscratch and The Xs was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Nickelodeon died in 2006 when they started showing unberable shit like Shuriken School and Mr Meaty and also those god awful holly hobbie and friends movies.

True, but for some reason Nick stretched out airings of their episodes throughout 2001-2004/5, instead of justing burning them in one go.

Pic related is a head scratcher.

>>92471694
Why did everything seemingly change in 2005? CN got a management shakeup around that time too, as did Disney (though at least we got a KP season 4 out of the latter).

>>92472792
Because 2005 was a seminal year.

That's like asking why did everything change in 2016 (Trump elected, memes started to have an influence on real life, lots of celebrities died at an unusual rate, the left-wing which had been the status quo for the past 10 years was taken down a peg, etc.). Or 1967 (hippie culture introduced to the mainstream through Human Be-In and Woodstock festivals).

>>92471694
Sounds like Cartoon Network. They even refused to show the finale to Code Lyoko because one of the executives simply wasn't a fan.

>>92472841
When is the next seminal year? The networks need to be purged of their filth.

What did they mean by this?

>>92472753
I thought that movie was meant to be the finale since nothing had came after it for years.

Did they really sit on those last few episodes for that long or did they randomly decide to revive it for five episodes and then cancel it again? Either way doesn't make sense.

>>92472612
Nickelodeon has always been the edgy one, i don't think any CN show has been as gross as Ren and Stimpy or getting away with so many stuff like Zim

>>92473194
They sat on the last few episodes for that long. Production had already finished around 2000 but Nick left the episodes sitting in the can for years until they randomly decided to air them.

>>92473230
Flapjack and Chowder are the ones that brought back the meme of children's cartoons being gross out disgusting like Ren & Stimpy which had ended in 1995.

They acquired Loud House which has become one of the highest rated cartoons while CN and Disney's best cartoons plunged below 1 million viewers.

Oh wait I guess that doesn't fit the doomsayer narrative you're trying to establish here.

>>92472612
>Invader zim

>>92473463
Eh, Flapjack has some fucked up stuff, mostly on the last season, but i don't remember Chowder being gross

>>92471627
Spongebob spam and Dan Schneider shows

I always wondered about the ratings in TeenNick's Splat hour whenever they aired all their popular 90s cartoons

>>92473467
Does one show really redeem them?

>>92473635
Didn't Chowder have a pet fart cloud?

Which is weird since it's on for, what, an hour a day?
The rest of the time it's Spongebob, Nick Jr, and shitty sitcoms.
And let's not forget those Full House and George Lopez reruns at night.

It's a step up but no, one good cartoon does not redeem several years of shit. They'd have to do what CN did and greenlit several experimental and different cartoons after years of shit

also loudfags are incredibly annoying and petty

>>92475003
>Adult swim has Jack
Adult swim is CN, anon.

>>92475018
And Adult Swim is considered it's own thing, as it's content is so widely different from CN's that it get's it own set of ratings, buddy

>>92474979
>Nick Jr

Why bother keeping the block when you have an entire channel dedicated to the same shit

>>92475043
>considered
Adult Swim is part of CN, that's a fact. It's like saying Nick at Nite isn't Nickelodeon.

>>92475062
No fucking idea, it's really weird, but at least they're smart enough to show Spongebob early in the morning before the older kids go to school.

>>92471988
Those noses fucking disgust me

>>92475076
That doesn't stop it from having its own set of ratings. CN hardly if ever buts in on AS since it seems like no subsidiary in Time Warner ever interacts with one another unless they're told to.

It's more like they share a channel then one owning the other


>>92475087
It just really makes my almonds active when I think of all the music channels Viacom own, like how much money are they really saving here when the internet and shit like Youtube exists

>>92475220
>That doesn't stop it from having its own set of ratings.
what does that matter? Do the people who give ratings decide these things? If they felt like giving Nick at Nite (whose programming is also very different from the usual nick stuff) its own ratings would it magically detach itself from Nickelodeon? No, the point is AS is part of CN and that's an undeniable fact.

>>92475220
Adult Swim is what you call a programming block, just like Toonami, who was made by the same company. A programming block is part of a cable network, in this case, Cartoon Network.

It has its own set of ratings, it's so different it's considered its own thing that it gets it own set of ratings. If AS or Nick @ Nite was the programming block you're making it out to be then it wouldn't even have lasted as long as it did right now

It's not Cartoon Network, it's Adult Swim with its own history and programming that last more then just a few hours

>Viacom’s Nickelodeon held steady among viewers 2 through 11 in the first quarter compared with the same period a year ago, but Time Warner’s Cartoon Network fell 15 percent, according to Todd Juenger, a media analyst at Sanford Bernstein. Disney Channel, which does not accept traditional advertising (and focuses on children as old as 14), declined 20 percent, while the ad-supported Disney XD plunged 27 percent.

>Nickelodeon for the year to date is the top-rated kids' network, up 5% over last year and number one with Kids 2-11, Kids 6-11 and Kids 2-5. Nick also owns the top shows in every demo, including: the top 9 among K2-11; the top 4 for Kids 6-11; and the top 3 among preschoolers.

I wouldn't say just one show redeemed them, they air more than just cartoons. But one really important thing happened last year, the parent company had a large executive overhaul and they have a new CEO that runs the company as a whole better.
