NickToons (post-2013)

NickToons is an American television network that was launched on May 1, 2002, after the success of the mh:besttvshows:Nicktoons block on Nickelodeon. The channel was targeted on airing classic cartoons or shows from Nickelodeon. Even though the network was praised during its heyday, the network went downhill when they started to air some terrible live-action which is stupid since Nicktoons is supposed to be a cartoon channel and not both.

Why It Sucks Now

 * 1) The problem with the channel nowadays is how this channel is (mostly) now used as a graveyard for cartoons from Nickelodeon that didn’t get as many viewers to the point the cartoon would be lead to air a few new episodes before getting cancelled altogether. That really shows Nickelodeon is so perfectionistic about TV ratings nowadays.
 * 2) For some strange reason, the channel tends to air live-action shows and it doesn't make any sense at all. Thankfully, this has toned down as of 2021.
 * 3) Many "failed" shows that originated on the main Nickelodeon network have had new episodes premiere on the network. This includes some shows like mh:besttvshows:My Life as a Teenage Robot and mh:besttvshows:El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, etc.
 * 4) The channel is too dependant on reruns. They don't care about anything besides The Loud House, The Fairly OddParents, mh:besttvshows:Middlemost Post, The Patrick Star Show, mh:besttvshows:The Smurfs (2021), Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks and especially SpongeBob SquarePants and mh:besttvshows:The Casagrandes. Although this seems like variety, it's nothing but these shows on repeat.
 * 5) The infamous July 2014 block.
 * 6) They currently have dropped most of its original Nicktoon programming in 2008 and put some of them (even SpongeBob) in the graveyard slots. They also started airing sports content with NickSports in 2014, another reason not to call it NickToons.
 * 7) The network has a block called ToonTime, and when they updated it, the only shows left are SpongeBob, The Loud House, Middlemost Post, and The Patrick Show, showing how they don't. They also have the error of saying it starts at 8PM, where The Casagrandes used to be (it's timeslots were taken by Kamp Koral and The Smurfs, which are not even mentioned there.)
 * 8) They are heavily dependant on airing the same commercials from Nick, but uses their logo on it.
 * 9) All the variety is gone from the network. As mentioned on WIS #3, they heavily rerun The Fairly OddParents, and we mean heavily.
 * 10) Overall, this network is now a clone and a mixture of Nickelodeon and TeenNick.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The network was good before 2014.
 * 2) Even if the network has gone downhill, they occasionally air old shows on holidays like Christmas, such as mh:besttvshows:Catscratch and mh:besttvshows:The X's.
 * 3) SpongeBob SquarePants is still a good show.
