Many petitions on this site have been directed to Nickelodeon to reform it's programming, bring back shows of the past and eliminate sub standard shows of the present.
However in the early 2000's a new channel emerged on enhanced cable networks called Nicktoons TV, which was a breath of fresh air for people frustrated with Nickelodeons current practices. It showed predominantly older, cancelled shows, as well as a few contemporary shows, and had no commericial brakes. Indeed, it was a sigh of relief from the increasingly sub standard quality of the regular Nickelodeon channel.
However around 2005/2006, Nicktoons TV began to change for the worse, beginning to resemble it' s host channel more and more. First it began when the channel decided to begin airing commerical brakes. This was an upset for fans of Nicktoons TV who enjoyed the channels no commercial stance. Things got worse later in 2006 when the channels name changed to Nicktoons Network. This was an obvious indication that changes in the network were abroad.
One by one the classic shows, the draw of the network to begin with, were either removed from the network completly or had their time slots greatly reduced. They were replaced by ORIGINAL (and utterly terrible) shows such as Kappa Mikey and others. If Nickelodeon wants to make an original NEW show, put it on NICKELODEON, not Nicktoons Network! At the moment Nicktoons Network shows nearly all either contemporary or their own original shows, which should be on regular Nickelodeon.
This is an outrage and a total contradiction of the reason why Nicktoons TV/Network was given to us in the first place. Now it is time for this to change...we, the undersign of this petition, request the following of Nicktoons Network...
1. Get rid of commercial breaks
2. Eliminate your "original" shows and move them to a time slot on mainstream Nickelodeon (i.e. Kappa Mikey, Secret Show, etc.)
3. Cut down time slots of currently airing shows (i.e. SpongeBob Squarepants, Fairly Oddparents, Jimmy Nuetron, My Life As A Teenage etc.)
4. Bring back or greatly add on time slots of CLASSIC shows (i.e. Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Kablaam, Action League NOW!, etc.)
If you did this, the fans of Nickelodeon would greatly appreciate this and we would be very happy.
We, the undersigned, would like to see the following changes on Nicktoons Network...
1. Get rid of commercial breaks;
2. Eliminate your "original" shows and move them to a time slot on mainstream Nickelodeon (i.e. Kappa Mikey, Secret Show, etc.);
3. Cut down time slots of currently airing shows (i.e. SpongeBob Squarepants, Fairly Oddparents, Jimmy Nuetron, My Life As A Teenage etc.);
4. Bring back or greatly add on time slots of CLASSIC shows (i.e. Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Kablaam, Action League NOW!, etc.).
