Nickelodeon’s Failed Musical Sitcoms

[@caitlinmccloud7431]

BTR was so underrated. More people need to talk about it because it always seemed to get overshadowed by whatever Dan Schneider show was on. Not to mention I loved the little sister character! They even had a whole episode where she tried to be a “typical” girl and get girl friends only to embrace herself to dive into what wacky janitor shenanigans was going on.

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

Almost any good show from Nick gets overshadowed to a degree for any Dan Schneider show. But not for me, many of the best from Nick came without Schneider, like Secret World of Alex Mack, Cousin Skeeter, Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, Rocket Power, True Jackson VP, etc. The only Schneider shows I liked the most were 'Kenan & Kel', 'All That' & 'Victorious".

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

@usanatv2007sentertainmentinc. Yeah, BTR is a good show and I liked several of the Nicktoons: Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, Aaah....Real Monsters, Tiny toon Adventures & Hey Arnold.

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

[@KrystalReanna11]

Fun fact about the Snoop Dogg thing around this time when he was doing a bunch of kids shows is because his own kids were the age where they could watch the shows and he wanted to do more projects that were more family and kid friendly so that his kids could watch the stuff that he was in

[@lockheart619]

That’s so sweet!

[@djjules6418]

Im in firm belief that BTR was one of the major stepping stones to bring back the Boy Band back in the early 2010's. At the time the show was airing, there wasn't a major boy band at the time that was very successful. With the help of the TV show, it brought the band and the idea of a boy band into many people's eyes, leading them to be successful. It led the way for even bigger successes such as One Direction and (to an extent) BTS and other Kpop groups. Its pretty cool and people tend not to talk about this.

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

Prior to Big Time Rush, the Jonas Brothers were huge, but by 2010, they were sort of being phased out. BTR had become popular at the time, along with Bieber.

Fun fact: when One Direction was opening for BTR, (this was in 2012, early in 1D's career) a lot of fans were apparently coming to the concerts just to see one direction instead of BTR. At least, that's what I remember hearing in the early 2010's when I was a preteen fangirl

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

"How to Rock" was actually a good show and funny. It was also a ratings hit but it was canceled due to Nick "wanting to go in a new direction". The direction was into shows targeting little kids ages 2-11 (the same reason why 'Victorious' got axed). If not for that, the show would've been renewed for a 2nd season.

[@JustEpic_Yt]

I agree how to rock was a solid show (Tbh I don’t think it would’ve been out of place if it lasted longer) too bad it was cancelled fast because I would’ve loved it when I was younger lol

2012 was literally the exact year that Nick got a facelift thanks to removing so many teen shows from its schedule (Kenan & Kel, All Grown Up!, True Jackson VP). The channel got so much younger starting in the next year.

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

@@nostalgiamostalgia0319 at the end of 2012, they canceled all of their teen shows (HTR, iCarly, Victorious, Big Time Rush, House of Anubus, Bucket & Skinner, etc) and replaced them with 'Haunted Hathaways', 'The Thundermans', 'Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn', 'Marvin Marvin', 'Sam & Cat', 'Game Shakers' etc. It was awful.

They could've done so much with her, it's a real shame...maybe she should've been on Disney instead

[@growingupwithdisney]

JoJo Siwa is surprisingly Nickelodeon's most successful music act, and she wasn't even in a sitcom. I wonder how they learned to market her. She kind of was there Hannah Montana (and she could barely even sing lol). She just had LOTS of personality, an interesting look with her bows, and appealed to that young audience

This show deserved…maybe if was on Disney it would’ve had a better outcome

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

If Nickelodeon wasn't showing outright favoritism to Dan Schneider, it probably would've been treated better by the network. Nick let Schneider & SpongeBob dominate the network.

[@xavierwashington5408]

14:00 thank you, I also hated the Ariana fans saying she shoulda been the clear star, bro she was a nobody, AND THATS NOT HOW THE DAN SCHNEIDER FORMULA WORKED, you grabbed a former star, and made them a spin off All That-Kenan & Kel - Amanda Show - Drake and Josh - iCarly - Sam & Cat. Zoey 101 was an outlier bc Britney Spears had a sister, and then that lead to Victorious, but they had already chose Victoria Justice bc she was on iCarly

[@Mr110074]

Two things 1. Jamie Lynn Spears was a cast member on All That, then she got Zoey 101 2. Victoria Justice was on Zoey 101 before she played Shelby on iCarly; that’s why we were excited for that episode because we already knew Victoria from Zoey 101

no victoria was picked cause of zoey 101.

[@roses.and.mint0]

I mean she wasn’t a nobody. Ariana and Liz were both on broadway together before Victorious. They both just hadn’t been on Nickelodeon before. But they weren’t nobodies. In the long run, it worked better for them to not be the lead. Though nickelodeon definitely lost out not having ariana sing lead in more songs.

Yay mentioning Big Time Rush being inspired by The Monkees!!! I think it’s so important to note that this concept was already done and proven successful in the 60s with the Monkees getting legit number 1 chart hits. Also there’s some BTR episodes and moments that are definitely paying homage to Beatles and Monkees (which The Monkees were a Beatles inspired thing) Although Micky Dolenz of the Monkees has compared The Monkees to Glee specifically I think this whole phenomena going on in the 2000s-2010s is similar.

[@kait.5437]

I so happy the Monkees got a mention I was skeptical they wouldn’t 😂

[@fortunamajor7239]

Ooooh fellow Monkees nerd 👀 I'm a millennial/Gen Z cusper who grew up w a Gen X/Boomer cusper Mom that got me into the Monkees young. So it was fun seeing shows like BTR be inspired by their comedy as well as their way of getting music out to fans

[@TeruteruBozusama]

I think the reason Hannah Montana was popular is that the concept was great, and that Miley was bullied at school but the bullies worshipped her secret self was probably a power fantasy to many. To me at least, it wasn't very funny, but the concept was engaging even though being a celebrity is something of what I want to be the least. But "would she be able to keep it a secret" was engaging. The whole show has an identity crisis if you think about it 😅

[@marisolsdiary3974]

Big time rush was everything to me (and still is!). I tuned into every new episodes and reruns. They were definitely the most successful out of the list just on how well they did during the shows run. Im talking sold out concerts, tv cameos, guest appearances on talk shows. Even performed at the white house and the thanksgiving day parade! They did a lot compared to other shows! Im glad that things worked out for them during the pandemic and they were able to keep the name and perform some of their older songs on top of their newer ones. And i do remember watching Make It Pop, but i had stopped paying attention halfway through their 2nd season. I was aware of kpop in 2015 and i was interested in the concept of the show. But i remember some kpop fans out there was bashing the concept and calling it cringe before they had the chance to air it. lol

[@alyssanielsen8521]

Make It Pop came out only a year before School of Rock, so it may be a similar case of aging out of the audience. I really enjoyed it as a tween! The show aired in a format similar to "House of Anubis", "Every Witch Way", "I Am Frankie", etc. Which means that it had a new episode each weeknight for about a month. Make It Pop is kind of like a K-Drama, like when it comes to plot lines and antics. The premise of the show is 3 girls meet at a boarding school and start a girl band, then there is a guy who is the DJ. The group goes through high school while each of the members is also pursuing another passion. The three girls were really the heart of the show and I think their dynamic is kind of what makes the show. The show had two seasons. The acting improved in the second season, but some scenes do not have the best acting. Some of the music is quite good (I have it on my work playlist because I work with kids and they like it)! If you end up checking out some of the music, I would recommend "Tomorrow is Ours", "Whispers", or "Promise You That". I think the show is kind of an Americanized K-Drama and some of the music was similar to K-Pop styles at the time. It actually was why I started listening to K-Pop. The show isn't for everyone, but I loved it at the time and I still love the music! It is definitely worth checking out at least the music!

[@maccoogid4433]

Weirdly enough, Make it pop is similar to another failed band called School Girlz, a band that had their own TV movie on Nickelodeon back in 2010. It was also about a bunch of girls in their own band, while also being in a boarding school. I know both Make it Pop and School Girlz are definitely the product of Nick Cannon and him wanting to make a successful band.

[@growingupwithdisney]

Big Time Rush >>> Jonas Brothers. I am surprised the Jo Bro's even became as popular as they did considering their show just wasn't that good. And Camp Rock had me more focused on Demi and her talent. But Disney marketed them well, putting them with their main girl Hannah Montana. They were touring with Miley, and was in the highest rated episode of the show, because it came right after High School Musical 2 (their most POPULAR movie). Disney was a GENIUS at marketing during that time. Now imagine if Big Time Rush was given that, they would've been more mainstream now. BTR set themselves up by having One Direction open for them though lol, like that's your competition, they're younger, British, and were on the come-up...Disney would've known better than to do that lol

[@gabrielleduplessis7388]

I have to say, it took me a long time to watch all of the big time rush show. I saw a few episodes here and there, but it wasn’t my cup at tea. But always loved their music. I got tickets to their new tour which made me want to watch the show. I did not like the episodic formula at time and how much stuff they broke each episode, but I admired how wholesome it was. I love the friendships, how Katie had four older brothers not just one, and am so glad that Kendell’s mom dod not just let them get away with stuff unless it was being involved in the prank wars or she was just too tired to yell at them. They were so nice and loyal to each other and the friends they made along away. I did not watch all the Nick stuff because I was more of a Disney fan, but out of the ones, this was my favorite due to how sweet and wholesome it is plus the timeless songs.

[@afc02]

I think part of the reason the music from nickelodeon was never as successful as the disney channel's was because of the age group it was marketed for. Disney's music was marketed for families, which included children, whereas Nickelodeon's targeted teenagers. IMO, kids tend to be more hyperfixed on what they watch and end up consuming more of it, thus hannah montana's success; and since shows like victorious targeted pre-teens and teens, who don't buy into these things as much, it wasn't as much of a hit.

[@jackreiter7291]

That’s a good point. The shows Nick was marketing to kids specifically were usually their cartoons. So while kids were eating up on all things SpongeBob related, they probably didn’t respond as strongly to these older-skewing live action shows. Also SpongeBob had humor that worked on many levels, so the parents loved it just as much as their kids did. The results? A few of these are practically forgotten aside from the nostalgia angle, while SpongeBob becomes one of animation’s undisputed titans.

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

@jackreiter7291 Nickelodeon shoved SpongeBob in our faces starting in the late 2000s, before most of these musical sitcoms even aired. They rarely aired the other shows, unless they were either from Dan Schneider (iCarly, Drake & Josh, Victorious, Sam & Cat, Zoey 101) or at the top of the charts ala "Big Time Rush". Regardless, Nick decided to air SpongeBob no less than 8 times a day everyday since 2008ish, I remember.

[@jackreiter7291]

Does anyone think SpongeBob’s popularity may have played a role in why their music based shows never took off the way Disney’s did. It’s been the biggest show on Nickelodeon for over two decades now. It’s probably the only show from that time which was as popular as Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers were. And even now, they milk every cent they can out of it. That includes promoting the show excessively. And it’s basically an open secret that any Nick shows that aren’t immediately SpongeBob-level popular get canceled and burned off on the Nick spinoff channels no one watches. I can only imagine how frustrating it was for the executives to balance their attempts at reaching the Disney audience with their number one cash cow. So did they just screw over all these shows in SpongeBob’s favor?

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

Yes (to your question), for both SpongeBob and Dan Schneider. Schneider was their go-to guy for content & programming, so any non-Schneider show that wasn't as big of a ratings hit out the gate got mistreated. It was an open secret that Nick mistreated any show that wasn't SpongeBob or from Schneider starting sometime in the early 2000s up until about 2015.

Guess I'm probably one of the only people who actually watched the School of Rock TV series in this comment section and actually enjoyed it. I thought it had its own charm to it and I liked the characters. That being said, I never watched the original movie and I think that's what made it more enjoyable and allowed me to understand it on its own a bit more than others might because I think what kinda buried the show was the fact that it wasn't what the movie was nor do I think they were trying to be like the movie and they wanted to do their own thing whilst using the basic concept of the movie as a base and then building things from there. That being said, the 3rd season is probably also what buried the show in its grave because what with it being the longest season as well as the one with the highest budget since it has all these big gags and stunts and performances in place of any semblance of plot.

There was that time nickelodeon made the Wonder Girls movie in 2012 that starred the members of the Kpop group Wonder Girls (pre disbandment) and had the man (Park Jin young) who founded their entertainment company JYP entertainment playing the manager. It was a fun little movie but has went pretty under the radar and not many people talk about it. It aired on TeenNick i think.

OMG MAKE IT POP I FORGOT ABT IT I WAS OBSESSED WITH THAT SHOW AS A KID I LOVED IT SO FUCKING MUCH YOU JUST UNLOCKED LIKE A LITERAL CORE MEMORY FOR ME

[@Metramania530]

Naked Brothers Band actually did really well. I know it did for me! I had all their albums, posters and everything growing up. To call it a failed show is a overrated statement. It did really well and they even went on tour

[@kayziofficial]

I really wish How to Rock got more success

[@lukasfire9198]

I loved make it pop in italy you could see it in single plattform and i remember that i was crushed when they removed it from all plattforms i really thank you for unlocking a memory❤️

[@enfienz9458]

I really liked school of rock when I was a kid . I'm sad it didn't get any recognition

[@niyaakbar1098]

How to rock was so slept on 😭

[@nobodyimportant5459]

I REMEMBER AND I LOVE SCHOOL OF ROCK

[@dailycupofizzy]

I was OBSESSED with Make It Pop. It’s definitely more underground compared to other Nickelodeon shows, but I loved it growing up. The music was so good

[@blairmcauley2497]

How to rock was so underrated I actually liked the show

[@annachoque4296]

Tbh justice for Make It Pop and How to Rock, I got bullied so bad for being pretty much the only fan my age back then lol

[@TheCandela15]

Max Schneider had so many amazing, truly quality hits. With his abilities I don't know how he didn't get bigger. His talents are out of this world. 😮 Also, I've been a fan of BTR since 2009 and I'd say they're doing just fine. Sure, they don't have the popularity of Jonas Brothers but they don't need to, honestly.

[@seriasmawidjaja545]

I loved make it pop it was a nickelodeon teen drama musical series. It was like every which way perfect for early teens before you start watch show like pretty little liars and Riverdale.

[@johnnymarrero8011]

Um BTR wasn’t cancelled BTR we’re touring so much and I think they had a Great finale and also it was a good show too and it wasn’t a failure it was a great success

[@m.i.action8148]

BTR had two tours since getting back together. I was able to go to the one last year😅

[@ethanrivers5129]

Make It Pop was my favorite of these failed nickelodeon musical shows,i loved the plots and songs,ive seen people say they aren't that good but i disagree the season 2 soundtrack is amazing to me

[@Skyraider359]

I remember Make It Pop. Although I never really watched it, only in passing because when I'd be at my grandmother's house my cousin would watch nothing but Nickeleoden. It didn't do anything for me.

[@GorillaMon541]

BTR is better than any Disney show, idgaf. Best musical show ever

[@The1andonlysharpshooter]

This video made me realise I was the only one watching all these unknown shows religiously 😭

[@queendonut1044]

I Love Your Channel & Videos

[@Tronn9672]

Thanks so much

[@silvermay9026]

I LOVED Make It Pop when I was younger!! I remember it not being on very often when I was channel surfing. If it WAS on I would watch it but the plot was very hard for me to follow (I probably missed a lot of episodes)

[@empressvipress9417]

"In this video we're going to look at some of Disney's failed musical programs"😂 I THINK NOT

[@Jay-qn5jx]

I loved cymphonique Omg. And make it pop was actually pretty good for the time. The songs were good, & makes sense why im into kpop now lmao

[@S0m30n3WhosHere]

I loved make it pop growing up, but I stopped watching Nickelodeon when it was like halfway through the first season, and I always told myself I would catch up but I never did

[@exitscreaming4637]

School of Rock was a fun show , I enjoyed watching it with my kids

[@danielmorgan3021]

I went to see BTR for the first time this year they sold out everywhere they went , I don’t think BTR got the chance they need because they had a lot of good music and funny episodes in the show , they are so underrated and it’s so un fair

[@clipobserver]

I wonder if Nick decided to make a deal with MTV to play their talents videos (BTR and Victoria Justice) on MTV would their careers been better. Though did MTV play music videos during the years 2010-2013? I know they did in the mid-2000s in the mornings.

[@GameLover-pz5zc]

By the early 2010s, MTV scarcely played music. I think they only played videos during weekday mornings but other than that, they aired nothing but reality shows.

[@meganwallis6507]

School of rock was literally my childhood though so underrated

[@tomdarko7012]

There's a huge flaw with your summary and discuss of Naked Brothers Bands that kind of makes some of what you said invalid.. Nickelodeon didn't conceptualize or create The Naked Brothers Band the group or the show, they just discovered them. They were already a recording group and had already written and performed songs and filmed a pilot for a show (which was very similar to what ended up being the show) Nickelodeon picked it/them up, made some changes and that's what we got. Nickelodeon in no way created them to rival Disney, though I'm sure that's what they were hoping when they signed them.

[@soniyashi]

I always feel bad for Make it Pop bc it never got time to get it's barings and an Asian cast and k-pop reps are so rare in English media. Nick rushed n' dumped it.

[@babyfaceweeb8937]

Musical shows that were underrated, Naked Brothers band, How to Rock, and Make itbpop5

[@serenitygreene5661]

How To Rock was favorite show when it came out bc I was huge fan of Cymphonique at the time and I wish that it was better and it had better received. I remember when Make It Pop came out. It was created by Nick Cannon because K-Pop more specifically Wonder Girls when they crossed over to the US Market. I remember watching only one episode and then I was like yea no I’ll pass and then it was never seen or from again after the first season lol. Ironically enough, K-pop is one of the main genres of music I listen to now

[@bxdiamond_]

School of Rock were featured in a music festival back when the show was still airing, it was a kid's music festival but idk if they had more shows

[@RasenRendanX]

I will always Victorious and will always hate we never got a proper ending.

[@xeniahaze]

BTR deserved so much better :/
