Chicken humping a car and "sexy kitten" is Nick's take on "well the
whole family will like it because the parents are invested!", a policy
that has been repeated on shows like iCarly and Victorious (both of
which are on their way out).

Disney has managed to put actual family humor into stuff like Gravity
Falls, managing to be funny for adults while still appropriate and
most of all understandable for children.

Now don't think I think Nick is being immoral or whatever, I don't
care about that. However they're not comedy central or even Teen Nick,
they have a viewer base that they're not reaching with their new shows
in their vain attempt to be edgy and appealing to teenagers who at
school would mock each other for openly watching Nickelodeon.

And this is why Nickelodeon is failing alongside being unable to
understand the singing-and-dancing teenagers in high school fad has
ended.
