Two words: Cartoon Network. They will eat Nickolodeon and spit out its bones. And some of those crappy ideas you know are boiling in that Nicktoons pot.
Unfortunately. Nick is probably gonna end up as one of those public access channels where there's no sound and they just tell you what's on other channels. They homofied Spongebob to the point of no return, have gone almost completely live action, and failed to give their best show the air time it deserved. (Nick schedule: infinity crappy new shows this month. Check. Dumb title to promote this month. Check. Oh, and BTW- Avatar's coming back so...we'll air like 2 commercials and hope you get the message. kthxbai.)
So, Nick is dead, Nicktoons Network is alive and f***in' kickin' for those days where you're home sick and feel nostalgic, and Cartoon Network is still awesome. There's you're options, youth of America and anywhere else that get's Nick*cough*pieceofsh*t*cough*. Enjoy!
