Nickelodeon and CN are in a huge rivalry and I would just like to share my thoughts about them.

Nickelodeon
At first, Nick was AWESOME. They had awesome shows (which I watch on the Splat on TeenNick) and that little jingle "nick nick nick nick na nick nick nick". Heck even Nick Jr was awesome it even had anime like Maya the Bee. The live action shows are said to be awesome back then as well. But around 2009 or 2010..it died. There was Modern SB, all the good 90s shows were gone, and they replaced all the good shows with lame shows like Fanboy and Chum Chum or others. And don't get me STARTED on when it started dubbing Winx Club. I don't actually like Winx that much, but the first 3 seasons were watchable, S4 was meh but 5 and 6 ARE HORRIBLE. So many plot holes, too much cheesiness, stupidity, random 3D, flanderization, too many transformations and Sirenix is ugly. I thought Nickelodeon was pretty much dead so I stopped watching it.

But now in 2016 things are looking up for Nick. They took off all their bad cartoons and replaced them. We have awesome shows now like Harvey Beaks, Ladybug, and The Loud House. I also heard that Sanjay and Craig is improving it's storytelling. And SpongeBob is good now that Stephen Hillenburg is back on board. Of course it still has Alvin and the Chipmunks, which I found to be very mediocre. Nick also has TMNT, which I don't watch because I found it boring, but hey I know there's tons of toys of it. Now, Nick has a new cartoon called Regal Academy. So it's this lame story about a girl who goes to a magic school and finds out that Cinderella is her grandma who just happens to be the Headmistress. The girl, Rose meets the grandchildren of Rapunzel, the Beast, Snow White, and The Princess and the Frog respectively. BORING. I watched one episode on demand and it was BAD. The animation is lazy-it's 3D that looks like 2D! NEVER EVER WATCH REGAL ACADEMY. (I will make a seperate thread about it soon). Besides Nick picking up that stupid cartoon, the cartoons are still going strong. But the live action? NO. (ALSO, NICK IS BRAINDEAD ENOUGH TO PUT LIVE ACTION SHOWS ON NICKTOONS)

There are two types of teen live actions that Nick has: one kind has a laugh track, idiotic characters who are huge bullies, and way too many poop, butt, and fart jokes. These shows include the Thundermans (a family of super-heroes who do stupid things), Henry Danger (a hero and his sidekick who do stupid things), Game Shakers (game makers who do stupid things), Nicky Ricky Dicky and Dawn (quadruplets who do stupid things), School of Rock (kids in a band who do stupid things), and Bella and the Bulldogs (football players who do stupid things). Notice some similarities? I know that Bella and the Bulldogs and School of Rock are cancelled, so that's good.

The other kind? Well, it's a girly-girl telenovela without a laugh track. These shows include just Make it Pop (formerly Every Witch Way, The Other Kingdom, Talia in the Kitchen). I thought Make it Pop was cancelled for good in January- but it has a special coming tomorrow! These shows ALWAYS have characters in high school, and the main characters are ALWAYS lame girly makeup-obsessed dramatic brainless stupid cruel annoying boy-crazy "wah wah i wanna be popular" girls with secondary characters being the boys (who are obviously their crushes). Of course, there's cheesiness, dating 'drama', the main characters being bullied by the "popular" girls, and the main characters doing awful and hideous things to the populars to get revenge. These shows try to be all "deep" and stuff but fail. Their fake drama sucks.

The only live action you should watch are 100 Things to Do before High School and Legendary Dudas. Those shows are actually good. I thought LD was gonna be bad at first but it's good.

So basically: Nick is improving, but don't watch the live action.

TBA wow this took longer than I expected will put CN soon.
