God, is there a troll topic on every IMDb board!? And this is from 2005...if people would just IGNORE these troll topics, they would GO AWAY. Instead, we keep them at the top of the threads list by posting in them! I wouldn't even waste my time here myself (the TC can't even spell "Nickelodeon" right), but for the person who idiotically said
What really ruined nick was Spongebob. I think Catdog was ok in its first season. After that bird came in was when I relized I was watching crap.
Spongebob
ruined Nickelodeon?! Come ON. That's ridiculous! There's a reason why MILLIONS of fans love SBSP and why it's been on the air for over 10 years. People like Rocko's Modern Life but somehow hate SBSP, and they don't even realize it's practically the same team that worked on Rocko, who went on to do SBSP!!
People HATE to have their warm, happy, fuzzy childhood memories "trodden on" by
change and progress, so they blame all the current TV shows for "ruining" {insert childhood memory here}. For every TV show messageboard, there are the same kind of people complaining that the following decade ruined the era when "shows were good." Hell, I remember when Nickelodeon first came on TV, I rushed home from school to watch
You Can't Do That On Television and
Danger Mouse. But that didn't stop me from realizing that new shows to follow could be funny (I don't like them ALL, but there are good ones), and it wasn't
their fault that the older shows weren't on anymore; old shows just fade out of favor, that's how it's ALWAYS going to be. You can BET for SURE that 10 years from now, people who grew up from 2000-2010 will be complaining that the 2020 shows SUCK, and "Nickelodeon used to be good!" Sentimentality is a very powerful emotion, and people take personal offense when they think something is encroaching or ruining their memories. But that is a mistake, and people should realize it's not the fault of the shows but that the fault lies within THEM because they refuse to acknowledge that their childhood is over.
Well guess what, you can live in the present, AND appreciate the past, without turning into a big, fat angry TROLL, trying to make everyone else as miserable as you are. TRY IT sometime.
