Nickelodeon goes classic.

Re: Nickelodeon goes classic.

I have to say though that most plot lines and character development in today's cartoons in rather one-dimensional. Episodes have no continuity, there are no "twists" because plots aren't continuous, and yes, the humor is terrible. Some slapstick humor is ok, but relying on it to make a show humorous is just not right. Humor should come from the overarching situation's as well as the from character's personality.

EDIT: Sorry if none of this makes sense. It's rather difficult to explain in words what makes humor, well humorous.

Bill Nye The Science Guy! I enjoyed watching him in grade school. I wonder if they still show his shows...

edit:
youtube video

My 8th grade science teacher had a huge collection of Bill Nye tapes that we would watch on occasion... funny stuff, and educational...

Re: Nickelodeon goes classic.

If that's true, then dammit they should have picked better shows than those >.> Kenan & Kel was horrible, The Amanda Show wasn't all that great all the time, and I don't remember Clarissa but I don't think I want to >.> Rugrats is the best one in that list and hopefully they don't make it the All Grown Up version because they killed Rugrats with making them grow up.

well yeah, these are two unrelated things [for one, this doesn't seem to be "new episodes" but rather just airing old shows] (the first one was definitely BS). that said, i'm not completely ruling out that, you know, nick might have indirectly been inspired by the fake rumour to do something like this but yEAH

still this is good news, definitely better than the first rumour (this new one is legit, fyi)

I personally couldn't stand Kenan & Kel, but that's just me [and my brother] :P I preferred the cartoons over the actual people shows. Still do. Cartoons are more stimulating to the wandering mind XD yay for a short attention span.

Yeah, I was trying to make it as a "First step" for Nickelodean. Perhaps once they notice the ratings go up, they may possibly go into the next step of creating new episodes for the old shows. It will most likely never happen, but hey, they are trying.

Re: Nickelodeon goes classic.

Re: Nickelodeon goes classic.

A lot of the shows started in 1991 and lasted anywhere between 3 years to 13 years. That's a lot of space to decide what to do with the shows between the start and end of the show's original episodes. Don't start where you left off because people wouldn't be able to remember what the last episode was about.
