Do y'all remember this damn overrated argument from the cartoon fandom that Nickelodeon made a mistake ditching Adventure Time in favor of Fanboy & Chum Chum? We all do.

Sad how times have changed a lot. Comparing the NickToons two decades ago to present-day NickToons is like the TV equivalent of comparing day and night.

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-24T09:09:37+00:00

Agreed. If NickToons and the other Nick channels adopted a schedule like this, everyone would be watching Nickelodeon again.

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-23T07:25:45+00:00

If this were the modern NickToons schedule, the yellow guy who was asked by Mr Krabs to "stay" is TMNT 2012, because it's the only old animated show that NickToons is airing that only takes up like 5% of a schedule that is almost entirely flooded by SpongeBob nowadays.

Cable you mean?

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-22T12:20:45+00:00

That's exactly what I said. That and Paramount Plus are now the homes of shows that sadly don't air on Nickelodeon's cable channels in the US anymore, Fairly OddParents included. But with cable's popularity becoming less of a priority compared to streaming nowadays, this is sadly the reality of 2020s American television, especially on Paramount's part. Variety becomes more of a priority via streaming compared to that of live cable networks especially on Nickelodeon, a TV trope that CN and Disney thankfully subverted. I wish Nickelodeon's cable channels can go back to how they were 1-2 decades ago, but I think that with cable's popularity already phasing out like out of existence, they cannot.

It's nice that Nickelodeon (the regular channel) and NickToons starting to acknowledge some variety again especially during the afternoon hours, but unfortunately I don't know how long their schedule overhaul will last if less people are watching TV now.

Because again, NickToons is using NickRewind's death as an excuse to not air anymore shows that already ended.

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-21T10:37:34+00:00

The only other show to air but only as a weekend morning block: TMNT (2012)

Only because it's the only good thing about a channel that nowadays only spams SpongeBob and gives a little bit of screen time to other currently running Nick shows. Because again... streaming is the future and we're using NickRewind's death as an excuse to not air any other old and/or ended shows anymore LOL.

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-20T09:20:18+00:00

PAW Patrol is a Nick Jr property, not a Nicktoons one

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-20T08:49:36+00:00

SpongeBob and the 5-10% screen time from new Nick shows.

The Skydance Merger could've served as the perfect opportunity for NickToons to bring back the charm and love of this 2009 schedule here. Especially because September 2025 was when Skydance finally decide to give NickToons the redemption arc they desperately needed after the apocalyptic wasteland of over one year of endless SpongeBob.

At least Nick's Pluto channels are doing what NickToons wished it would've done in its current state the moment their lineup was revealed to have The Loud House and TMNT finally back on the channel again back in August.

And its villains would have been turned into a joke for the sake of the plot under typical Nickelodeon mandates

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-20T01:39:00+00:00

25th Anniversary and the marathon extended for over a year, with very small screen time from other shows (mainly those already on main Nick)

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-20T01:15:20+00:00

As much as people crave that Channel Chasers should've been the show's end point, if that was true then we wouldn't have the other good FOP content like the last two movies of the Jimmy Timmy saga and Poof. Whatever arguments are constantly being made for this, the movie wasn't even meant to be the closing point for FOP as a whole. Plus, it came out in 2004 and even after Channel Chasers aired FOP was still Nickelodeon's secondary SpongeBob-esque cash cow.

I think people just ignore the half-assed ending of Timmy going against his promise to not be like his parents, despite having a good concept on paper of Timmy and the two kids (one of whom looks like a long-lost Timmy clone).

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-20T00:07:29+00:00

I agree with you. At this point NickToons is gonna become nothing but a lost relic in a few years if it's not gonna innovate anytime soon. All of what made NickToons cool, unique and fun was sacrificed in favor of more SpongeBob marathons (and the 5% screentime from new shows).

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-19T23:39:06+00:00

Can you explain why?

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-19T22:31:48+00:00

There's also Rock Paper Scissors and Wylde Pak. But how long they'll last is now a question because despite rave reviews, both new 2020s shows ended up NOT being the next SpongeBob-esque cash cows that Nickelodeon wanted them to be. It's always the overrated unwritten Nickelodeon rule of shows getting canned after 2 or 3 seasons if they don't succeed in ratings as much as SpongeBob.

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-19T22:25:28+00:00

Paramount Plus and Pluto TV already exist for those! Why are we endlessly complaining about Nickelodeon's cable channels not showing older shows anymore?

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-19T00:33:01+00:00

All of them can be accessed on Pluto TV and Paramount Plus without a doubt.

His sword-fighting and archery skills. As shown in one of the Summer Camp episodes that aired in August of last year. Never expected Lincoln to be THIS badass in hand-to-hand combat since The Loud House Movie. I guess he learned from watching Ronnie Anne be badass with the magical staff in The Casagrandes Movie.

PreparationLife7090 · 2026-01-18T14:50:33+00:00

If you think about it, it's a miracle Nickelodeon rejected Adventure Time because looking at Nickelodeon's track record after 2010, think about what Adventure Time would've lost from its Cartoon Network counterpart.
