How you would improve Nick channels
TMC
No list thread here. Explain what you'd change and whatnot.
NICK:
For one, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more diversity in the schedule. iCarly's
great, yeah. Doesn't mean it needs 50 timeslots a week.
Order a couple more game shows like BrainSurge. This will make it more
like the "good years".
Have a Nick Rewind block. 2 hours of randomized pre-2002 Nickelodeon
shows, not counting any currently running ones (just Spongebob and
OddParents, I believe).
SNICK would be back. Either that, or Comedy shows (iCarly, Penguins,
etc.) on Thursday nights to compete with CN and Action shows (Troop,
Iron Man, etc.) on Friday nights. For that matter, this whole "week of
premieres" thing would only be on special occasions.
Hey, while we're at it.. Might as well bring U-Pick back. Pick Boy's
still around. New hosts? Alright.
Nick@Nite would pick up The Simpsons, and air mostly older episodes
alongside Malcolm.
Nicktoons:
Way more classics. Remove all these "originals", like Iron Man, and
send them to regular Nick. Ad-supported no more - This would once
again be a channel for classics, like Rugrats and KaBLaM!
Nick JR:
Don't know. I guess I'd leave it as is.
TeenNICK:
Wayyy less Degrassi. Add many shows from SNICK and TeeNICK, such as
Kenan and Kel, All That, Pete & Pete, and more - All in reasonable
timeslots. Their forums would also be shut down. Ever been to them?
YIKES.

I read somewhere that they offered a trip to Las Vegas as a prize.
Okay, it was for the Circus Circus hotel, but still, if they ever make
a FAQ for alt.vacation.las-vegas, one of the questions will be, "What
is the best place for kids?", and the answer will be, "Get on I-15
South and don't stop until you get to Disneyland - not only is it far
more family-friendly, but it's cheaper."

How soon before it becomes an hour of "Rugrats" followed by an hour of
"Danny Phantom"? (Forget about Ren & Stimpy; forget about Invader
Zim; what other shows does Nickelodeon think would get ratings?)
>SNICK would be back. Either that, or Comedy shows (iCarly, Penguins,

There's a reason shows are on Friday nights and not Thursday nights;
on Thursday nights, parents are making kids do their homework rather
than watching TV.
>Nick@Nite would pick up The Simpsons
The only reason The Simpsons isn't already on Adult Swim is, Fox won't
sell them the rights (apparently, it makes far too much money in
syndication, and one of the conditions is, episodes in syndication
can't air on Fox (they had to jump through an incredible number of
hoops to get an exception for the Michael Jackson episode) or on cable
- otherwise, they would be on fX as well).

No, I haven't, and what makes you say "YIKES"?

Cut the airings of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! from six times a day to two.
Plus, please start showing the episodes that have been on Nick Jr. on
Nick, but not on Noggin/Nick Jr.

constant repeat of what it was in the 90s. If Nick were nothing but
repeats of Pete and Pete, classic Are You Afraid of the Dark?, the
early 90s nicktoons, it would get old fast. What Nick needs is new
shows that are actually GOOD. Shows that are not condescending to
children's intelligences, shows that adults can enjoy as well. Less
CGI, less slutty teen shows.
