<p>And I saw they were trying to replace ALL THAT with some show called So Random.... What. The. Freak. And its not even close to as good! And I'm not just saying that cause they copied All That...it just literally SUCKS!</p>
<p>I used to watch All That on Nick when I was younger but due to the crappy shows that have been on lately and the fact that I don’t have Disney Channel I just stick to Nat Geo, History Channel, and Sirius.</p>
<p>But I agree with you. A copy could never defeat the original and “All That” used to be one of my favorites.</p>
<p>^Saw it. ***!? Drake as Timmy Turner, really? Well, at least he’s getting acting jobs. Josh may well be dead in a ditch somewhere, I dunno…</p>
<p>On topic: Nickelodeon has become a Disney clone is recent years. All the shows are just staging points for this year’s up-and-coming tweenie pop star and they all suck. Drake and Josh was the last good live-action show. Even Spongebob has lost his luster.</p>
<p>Cartoon Network ain’t much better, but it does have some good shows. Johnny Test is one of the newer shows that reminds me of the old classics. At least there are some funny shows on Adult Swim nowadays. </p>
<p>I don’t know what went wrong. There isn’t one new show on any of those channels that can compare to the classics of yore (the 90’s that is).</p>
<p>I dunno if we’re in a place to objectively evaluate our childhood TV shows in comparison to the stuff on TV today. I’ll be the first to say that I think a bunch of what is getting plugged on Nick is garbage, but I feel obligated to acknowledge that I’m not the audience for it. I think Fairly Odd Parents is good, even now (not that I watch it with regularity), but I wonder what I’d think if the pilot just debuted yesterday. </p>
<p>And, just sayin’, Josh was in something called The Wackness… 2 years ago, I guess? Quality movie, too.</p>
<p>Boomerang is my favorite channel above all next to fox soccer and the science channel. (sometimes MTV) I only watch nickelodeon at night to see shows like family matters or my wife and kids. Cartoon Network used to be my favorite, but now it’s full of these random and similar shows. Nickelodeon used to be my favorite, but now they are straying away from animation and making a bunch of crappy shows like icarly. -__- It’s truly sad to see of how bad tv networks have become.</p>
<p>@AstroBlue Yeah I know making it that much worse. </p>
<p>@Tenors Yeah I will actually admit it…I watched it. It was DUMB! That series went down hill. 'Da Rules changed so much lol :P</p>
<p>@Wiscongene Yeah I agree with the Drake and Josh thing. And the spongebob thing. And Cartoonetwork as gone down in the trash! They have live action shows now!!! Also the cartoons they have now are more geared towards teens to adults. And Adult Swim as taken over. I love adult swim but still think about the kids…</p>
<p>@Yuppie Umm yeah I do! Got a problem with that?!</p>
<p>Now, you’re going to yell at me for this, but I think that video games have garnered the interest of all ages of males at the expense of television interest. So, you’re seeing a trend of daytime television being marketed more and more at women of all age groups and across all television stations. I think that’s part of what accounts for shows like iCarly and the Victoria Justice becoming so prevalent. </p>
<p>I know that in my household of three boys and one girl, my sister probably accounts for 80+% of total television-watching. The only things I watch are Science Channel, Spike, and movies on Stars/HBO.</p>
<p>That’s interesting. I’m not sure I’d assert that video games are the <em>sole</em> cause of the paradigm shift, but based on anecdotal evidence, it does feel like there is one. I’m not exactly an expert on the statistics of kiddy TV shows, mind you.</p>
<p>^Speaking of That’s So Raven have you seen ABC Family’s attempt at a remake? Its called State of Georgia. Its acutally kinda good. Its kinda like That’s So Raven (like same comedy style) but more adult</p>
<p>^Sorry, didn’t see it.
Off topic, but i know someone who a few months ago found she was cousins with a member of big time rush. It was hilarious!!!
Back on topic, has anyone seen ANT farm? That show’s just terrible. This 11 african american year old girl who doesn’t seem to be anything more than a slightly advanced student is PUT INTO HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE SHE’S GOOD AT MUSIC <em>facepalm</em>. And its not even a performing arts high school. And she (remember her description) apparently got cast as the lead in hairspray. I REPEAT, HAIRSPRAY! God that show gets on my nerves. <rant over=“”></rant></p>
