Lol so they received WAY more than the fine in donations, have been doing paid media appearances nonstop, and even straight up refuse to pay the fine and it still bankrupted them apparently?

Exactly what the hell did they blow all that money on only to get no return?

That Todd Starnes story of the money disappearing from their account sounds like yet another insane wholecloth creation of his. The regular news account I read mentioned them cutting a check and paying 7k of the fine a few months ago.

It absolutely is not. Nickelodeon was doing all day marathons of popular shows as far back as the mid-90s at the latest. And massively popular shows got massively rerun all the time on network TV and associated cable channels since the 80s too.


Yes it is. Marathons have existed for decades, yes. But there is a colossal difference between how they used to be run (only for special events or occasions) compared to how they were ran after 2000 (again, all the drat time, regardless of season, holiday, or whatever).

There isn't, because you're wrong about what was done with Nickelodeon's marathons in the 90s. Unless you have a super fuckin' broad definition of "special event or occasion".

Those marathons in the 90s were how I got my favorite shows all on tape, SLP of course.

I'm not denying that marathons existed in the 90s (why do you keep bringing this up, as if I said otherwise), my point is the loving degree to which they appeared.

What do I mean by "special events or occasions"? Like say, for Halloween, Nickelodeon might run a marathon of something like Aah! Real Monsters. Or for something that doesn't fit into any particular category, like Labor or Memorial Day, they'll have marathons of Rocko's Modern Life or whatever random show.

This is in complete contrast to how Nickelodeon used to handle Spongebob, which is omnipresent whether it's Halloween, Labor Day, Christmas, Kwanzaa, the entirety of Summer, etc. The most popular Nickelodeon show in the 90s was either Doug or Rugrats. Are you seriously loving arguing that either of those shows were in the same galaxy in terms of exposure that Spongebob was?

Found this video online.

I'm a tad bit stunned that the GOP has successfully scapegoated union members, and the unemployed as being "lazy" amongst other comments.

In this video you see two families that are trying their damnedest to work or find work while avoiding "hand outs". No wonder people like Bernie Sanders are beginning to succeed. The scenes you see in this video clip are a reflection of America as a whole within the past couple of years.

Also I wonder how different the country would be if more news programs were like "Front Line" and less like "The Five".

Any sort of probing, truthful examination of American life is pretty much reflexively dismissed as "partisan" by the beltway class, therefore looked upon with suspicion by a good 50+% of the country.

O for gently caress's sake I worked with these people and it's worse. The airline union guy laughed about a) the PPACA wasn't going to apply to him, he just hated it because (friend of the family in the WHITE House) and he liked me but, haha, F U non-Union lib) and b) He HATED his Union members, as long as they were junior to him and hadn't "worked as hard as he had" to come up through the ranks (ESPECIALLY if they weren't white) so he hated Unions (which he was a part of) and non-whites (who got into his Union) and loved that Obama was giving him a special pass but hated him for that, too.

I DO believe in Unions. But that guy was like every "Union" guy I met working in aviation. I TOTALLY get why people think Unions are "not needed any more (his own words)" because people are loving stupid as gently caress.

What schools put that stuff in the curriculum? I wouldn't expect your average public school to even mention their existence, much less ancient aliens stuff about how they were built.
Schools in Rhodesia uniformly taught this. Even archaeologists were censored from speaking of the ruin's true origins well into the 1970's. It's the closest parallel to telling kids that aliens were responsible for everything cool your people did.

But dude, during the 90s Nickelodeon was running marathons multiple times every month, sometimes multiple times a week. Unless we're counting saint's feast days that didn't get mentioned as special occasions, no, they did not wait for special occasions.

There is no "complete contrast". There is no difference. You just seem really upset about Spongebob of all things getting the same treatment other shows got when you were younger and didn't give a gently caress.

Kilroy posted:

They always aimed to produce at least 4 seasons/52 22 minute episodes in total, but that was to have a wide variety available for reruns and eventually syndication, rather than a hard limit. Shows that put out less than that were usually major flops, shows that put out more were shows that really struck an audience

Similar "at least make 50 or 100" rules are common on other channels as well.
