Nowadays teens as a group are being discarded completely. 13 and 14 are "just kids", 18 and 19 "basically adults", 15 to 17 are the respect of the former and the expectations of the latter.

[@gergelygalvacsy2251]

One thing that comes to mind for me is, do older kids (around 12) even watch kids media anymore? It feels like they jump straight to the internet, a space with all kinds of content, skipping all the entertainment that is tailored to their age.

One, it was nice to see a show starring an Asian lead aimed at mystery solving for an older audience, similar to "GhostWriter...," but on the other hand... it was so hard to get through at times, lol. But also, "Snick" is the legacy, "TeenNick" was the follow-up that gained its own channel that was headed by Nick Cannon for a while.

Bro how old are you? Your chronology is off in some areas and your description of nick at nite is way off. Stop putting an opinion on shows you weren’t there for, change in time a lot of stuff you don’t get. The shows looked great for the time, for kids. You’re going back and watching them with 4k brain.

[@eternalenigma1628]

I was not very close to my sisters, but we had a ritual to get together and watch H2O. It was a little cheesy and the mermaid powers didn’t always make sense, but it was very loved by people in its target demographic

Did "Be Kind, Rewind" rip-off "The Amanda Show"? Jack Black film with same premise: guys make cheesy at-home parodies of rental VHS movies after they all get erased (magnets) and pass them off as "foriegn renditions."

[@frozenolafnick5813]

What’s weird is that I remember a lot of shows starting with Drake and Josh in that wacky Dan sphere airing a lot more on Nick than Teen Nick, but shows like Ned’s Declassified, Naked Brothers Band, and True Jackson VP airing more on Teen Nick. Which is weird, cause at the time of ICarly, I couldn’t seen them being Nick originals instead of Teen Nick originals. However, at the same time that’s what gave Nick a bit of an edge over Disney Channel in terms of sitcoms and drama esc shows, even though Disney was way more popular.

[@aj_gen_ace]

The Dan Schneider shows lasted longer. Drake and Josh had like four seasons while a show like True Jackson VP had only two.

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

​@aaron_aj_knight_95 True Jackson had 3 seasons but it rarely aired on the network. Nick let Schneider's shows & SpongeBob dominate the network by that time period.

[@christopherpacker1637]

True

[@MichaelLovely-e6d]

Every time I scroll through my TV guide I think "Would it kill Teen Nick to air shows other than just airing "Henry Danger" 24/7?" What many people may not know about "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" is that the exterior shots and outdoor scenes were shot at La Mesa Junior High School in Santa Clarita, California. Even more surprising is that there were plans to do a sequel series focusing on the characters (Ned, Cookie, and Moze) in high school that would have been titled "Ned's Declassified High School Survival Guide." Unfortunately, it didn't happen due to budget issues and the fact that "SpongeBob SquarePants" as well as the sitcoms created by Dirty Dan were the cash cows for Nickelodeon.

[@brittanyfinney5386]

The naked brothers band was my favorite show ever I even had on dvd in my childhood

[@Temp-nj8rm]

Ned’s Declassified had 4 - 12 year old me in a chokehold. I religiously watched any new episode / rerun. I even put it on as background noise while doing something else when all 3 seasons were on Netflix. I have pretty bad memory but I can recall any episode of that show.

[@TayePurks]

I don’t mean to sound rude but have you ever heard of the term “mockumentary”? Because that’s what the Naked Brothers band is. It’s not a sitcom but a tv show set up as documentary with events that are still made up but it’s presented as real. That’s why the Naked Brother’s band comes across as more authentic and “real” because for mockumentaries there’s not a complete script. Some of the scenes are the boy’s real reaction to the situations Nickelodeon set up for them. That’s how mockumentaries are typically filmed, adding in real scenes to get a more raw outcome.

[@Kait16xo]

You not knowing who Nick Cannon is is genuinely painful 😭 people shit on him all the time for having a fuckton of kids

[@kw7588]

[@CanadaDragon1]

36:31, There actually is one episode of Drake and Josh that is considered a bad episode. That being the episode "Theater Thug". In this episode, Josh lands the role of a criminal on an FBI TV show, and people constantly mistake him for being the real criminal, and have him arrested. At the end of the episode, the real theater thug tries to rob the Premier. When the cops arrive, they mistakenly arrest Josh, and the episode ends right there. This is widely regarded as being the worst episode because of how completely unjustified it is.

[@nathangonzalez8450]

You forgot to mention how drake bell is a creep and really doesn’t have a career anyonore because of it

[@aleflippy1997]

I think mentioning how Drake Bell is now active in Mexico, with a new name, was kind of a backhanded way of saying it. I doubt KZbin takes any talk about grooming very kindly... Either that, or he tried to keep it cohesive. But I agree that he could have discussed it briefly like he did for Jennette McCurdy
