A Small Golbin Rant… Nickelodeon, are you finally off drugs?
13 05 2010I grew up on Nickelodeon. Didn’t have Cartoon Network until my teens, and even then, it was still all about the Nick Toons. Now, since then, Nick got infected with a TON of fail programming, lit by short-lived bright spots, like Avatar, Fairly Oddparents (which went to crap after they had a kid. Curse you, Poof!), even My Life as a Teenage Robot and Danny Phantom weren’t bad. However… other than that, unless you were a ten year old girl, I have no idea why anyone would watch.
And I thoroughly believe that’s about to change.
In a little bit, Nick is going to begin airing Dragonball Z Kai, a remastering/retelling of the classic anime franchise. Also, Saban has finally regained control over the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, and they’re going to Nick as well. As if that wasn’t enough, they’re working on something new in the Last Airbender universe. So, I don’t know if the people at Nick were high before… but if THIS is their new programming plan, then I can’t WAIT to see more from our favorite orange network.
Congrats, Nickelodeon, and welcome back to my life!
I believe DBZ Kai and MMPR will be airing on Nicktoons, the premium sibling to Nickelodeon. Think how Disney XD gets all the awesome ’90s Marvel cartoons and Spectacular Spider-Man, while Disney Channel gets crap. Nickelodeon proper isn’t in the clear quite yet.
I see now the Hollywood Reporter article says it’ll be on both Nick and Nicktoons. I hope so. And original MMPR should be on Nick at Night. It’s older than some of the other shows currently on there.
