Nickelodeon used to be awesome when I was a kid. The greatest shows were playing at a near constant speed, and just about everything on there was comic gold.
There was Rugrats, before they decided to sell out by adding new babies to the formula.
We had Rocko's Modern life, with more sexual innuendos than a day at high school
There was the fabulous Angry Beavers, about... two very angry beavers.
And that isn't even the tip of the ice berg
All That is the reason I wanted to be a comedian, and work to the big time: SNL.
I could go on and on about the greatest 90s station, but there is simply not enough time for me to do this. I will devote every other Sunday into the finer points of Nickelodeon, before we had crap like iCarly, Barnyard, and the dreaded Spongebob Squarepants.
Life didn't always used to fail this miserably. There was a time where parents didn't care about the violence on an episode of Ren and Stimpy. Because now violence in cartoons will lead to violence in real life.
Yeah, right.
People have gotten too uptight about programming for kids. Who wants educational cartoons? If The Man is going to remove the good stuff for the kids, I say e remove the "reality" programs from every station EVER. Which means that MTV is out of buisness, but since that station is already a walking contradiction, it wouldn't be much of a problem.
The point is, thing were better.
And we all knew that.
