I think that's a fair action. The video is here, trigger warning for awfulness. Oh yeah, and it has Fred the YouTube personality. I guess he has Nick by the balls now. Well thats.... certainly something that I would not watch regularly but as other people have said is that really any worse than the stuff that Kenan and Kell did?

Excuse me but which show has a reference in the thread title? FuzzySkinner posted:I've been trying to figure out how Lucas Cruikshank ever amassed as many views as he did within youtube to garner that sort of attention. I heard that Fred was astroturfed as hell.

(possible oxymoron there). I found Drake and Josh rather unwatchable though. Miranda Cosgrove's character just was so terrible. I'll still say it, Kenan and Kel as a duo were pretty good. Good Burger is still pretty funny, and the TV movies does have it's moments. The show? Terrible. Really formulaic, and extremely predictable. I realize it's supposed to be a kids show, but again it didn't age well. PhazonLink posted:I heard that Fred was astroturfed as hell. really? do tell.

I remember, in particular, strolling into fifth grade, and leaning over to my neighbor and saying "hey dude, did you see Laverne and Shirley last night?" and then I felt like a loving idiot because of course he didn't loving watch Laverne and Shirley last night. But Nick at Nite was at its prime when it was just 8 hours of Fresh Prince every night. This is not debatable.

I remember once doing a search on my program guide a few years ago and counting the amount of Fresh Prince playing across all channels on a given day. If I remember correctly there was 25-26 hours worth. I also remember when TV Land was still called Nick at Nite TV Land and they showed all the old TV shows I'd watch in the afternoons after school before cartoons came on. I kinda miss the whole tinseltown aesthetic they used to have. FuzzySkinner posted:Josh Peck seemed like he has potential as an actor. I'd be intrigued to see him in a well-written sitcom. (possible oxymoron there). Not much from 90s era Nick did, if you ask me. At least, not the live-action stuff. I used to watch the poo poo out of Hey Dude when I was a kid, and I couldn't make it to the first commercial break when I tried to watch it once on that 90's block. raditts fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Feb 20, 2013 |

Out of all those 90s Nick shows I think the only actor who ever made it out was Christine Taylor.

I kind of wish Nick at Nite would sticking to playing TV shows more culturally relevant than what they've shown in the past couple of months. For example? All in the Family fascinates me in terms of what it kind of showed within the time period it was set in. I wouldn't mind seeing that on the air once in a while in between showings of stuff ranging from "The Cosby Show", to "Taxi" to yes, "Fresh Prince". And when I mean "Culturally Relevant" I mean shows that were actually popular during the time it was airing. No one really cared all that much about "The George Lopez Show" when it aired. It was trash then, it's still trash now. FuzzySkinner fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Feb 20, 2013 |

And of course Kenan Thompson. edit: And Alanis Morrissette, if you count her as an actor and You Can't Do That On Television as a Nick show. Even then I guess it's only technically a 90's show since Wikipedia says it ended in 1990 and was in reruns for the next four years. raditts fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Feb 21, 2013 |

Toby Huss who was Artie The Strongest Man in The World on "Pete and Pete" wound up having a decent career. He ended up voicing Cotton Hill, Kahn, and Joe Jack on King of the Hill. He also was "Big Mike" on Reno 911. Also, his most famous role was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRf_A07Elyw "I'm the WIZ! I'm the WIZ!"

Kenan & Kel is formulaic and all, but they just have so much chemistry and everyone actor looks like they had a good time making that show. Plus Grady from Sanford & Son was on a couple times as one of Kenan's relatives, so there's that. A lot of All That may not hold up all that well either but the energy still wins me over, and there was always that capacity to surprise with a bizarre turn of phrase or slapstick. Shame about Amanda Bynes :/

Ben 10 Omniverse continues to stay good. Showdown was pretty decent, with nice fights and well-placed jokes. Tummy Trouble is probably one of the best episodes in terms of humor, that intercom scene had me giggling like an idiot.

That's been up there for awhile, but, yeah, 2002 He-Man is one of the best in the franchise. The complete DVD set is pretty cheap too at only $20 SRP with extras including the script for an episode that wasn't animated.

It's all so bland and inoffensive, yet it manages to have so many minor irritants (Those wacky scientists etc) Plus I find art design and the no-pupils sort of thing off-putting.

Am I missing something with Power Rangers? I never saw the appeal of the show, and those first 3 episodes of the latest incarnation aren't any better. I get that it's a staple of the Sentai-series, but everything just feels so shallow and bland.

If you honestly want to get into Power Rangers, Power Rangers: RPM is pretty much the best season, and readily available on Netflix. After that, I dunno, maybe SPD? Space?

I'm surprised their popularity isn't about the same..? Regardless, I'm hoping this is a matter of patience, and not something that will never be released. That gap on my shelf is really starting to aggravate my "OCD" side when I'm lying in bed at night though. Disney, this isn't like you.

I have a lot of respect for Dora and Friends because it's great to see a show promote learning other languages. That said, I find the predictable, plug-in formula of the show hard to stomach as an adult, and I never cared for the Diego character at all.

I had to watch both Dora and Diego for another thread not too long ago and I can say pretty confidently that Diego is better. This is partly due to the fact that Diego is targeting Elementary school kids and Dora is targeting preschoolers but the lions share of the difference comes from the fact that I am %90 sure Dora is clinically insane. It's the pauses she makes when she talks to the audience. They last just a little too long. That said, neither show really offends me as far as little kid's cartoons go. They're predictable and dull but ultimately teach good lessons and won't make parents want to kill themselves the way Barney or Teletubbies would back in the day.

He literally spent an episode carrying an iguana across the countryside so it could poo poo on a farm, so he could use the poo poo to grow some strawberries. That's loving bonkers.

The best part is that their target audience hates it and have posted saying as much, that they'd much rather have something to help put a colicky kid to sleep, but Nick's response has pretty much been "gently caress you, you're gonna watch us anyway."

Watched an old Doug episode last night, and found it funny they had a reference to "Tommy" last night. http://isometimescallmyselfchaserobertson.blogspot.com/2011/01/project-yancey-episode-28-dougs-got-no.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cySnG42s0lE Unrelated but "Pinball Wizard" owns all. Moreso related, were "The Beets" more a satire of "The Who" than they were "The Beatles"? The lead singer sounds like he's trying to sing more like Daltrey than John or Paul. 404GoonNotFound posted:The best part is that their target audience hates it and have posted saying as much, that they'd much rather have something to help put a colicky kid to sleep, but Nick's response has pretty much been "gently caress you, you're gonna watch us anyway." Yeah, Nickmoon seems like it's moreso Nickelodeon trying to be more like the E! network in a lot of ways than Adult Swim. A ton of wine drinking suburb types making lame offensive jokes. I recall reading that during their "Moms night out show" they said some nasty comments about adopted kids, some mom had walked in finding her (adopted) kids crying and really confused as to why someone would be making fun of them. Really I feel terrible for parents out there who have one less option in terms of putting on something to get the kiddies to bed.
