The Forgotten Shows Of Nickelodeon

Фильм және анимация

My whole life I thought I was a Cartoon Network kid. I would lovingly talk in-depth about the era I was watching the most, while leaving the other channels behind. the truth is, I was a Nickelodeon kid too... it just so happens that all the shows I watched are famously hated or forgotten on the internet. But I intend to change that. So many shows from this network are swept under the rug or berated, but do they really deserve it? Or do they deserve to be praised for the hidden gems they are?

    You are correct in your assessment that children are assholes. In 2nd grade I got in trouble and was sent to stand in the corner by the door until I was ready to rejoin the rest of the class. Like 5 minutes later some kid I hated was running out of the door so I tripped him and told the teacher I was on my way to rejoin the class and he just so happened to run by as I stuck my leg out. I got away with it.

    Fun fact about El Tigre: the last episode was originally gonna have Manny becoming a villain, but most likely because of studio interference they left it up to a poll and the majority vote was for Manny to be a hero. You can actually find the cut ending with villain Manny

    Honestly don't understand why that was the plan, throughout the entire show Manny only does heroic things (not counting the trouble he causes which is less "I might be a supervillain someday" and more just being a dumb kid with an influential grandfather), only fights villains, always learns The Lesson Of The Episode, you get the gist.

    - Making Fiends had SOOOO much potential to be a heavy hitter! No other Nicktoon was screwed over as hard as Making Fiends by Nickelodeon, and the worst part is Amy Winfrey can't even continue the web series as Nickelodeon owns the copyright and are content to let it rot in their vault. - Catscratch was a hilarious show and I miss it, It also deserved better. - Mr. Meaty was defiantly weird AF but I enjoyed it. The puppets themselves weren't creepy and the show was pretty entertaining at times. - El Tigre was a fun show too, I like that Manny wasn't a happy go lucky moral compass, (we have too many of those in animation as it is) I like that him and Freyda were accurate representations of how actual kids act as it made them feel more realistic. - Season 4 of SpongeBob is just as god as seasons 1-3, Season 6 was the beginning of the end tho. - The Penguins of Madagascar was fine I guess, I mostly had it on as background noise.

    in my country, Penguins of Madagascar is one of the most memorable and known childhood memories and cartoons to anyone really - i remember quoting entire episodes with my friends on recess, and i still to this day remember the musical episode by heart. There was an app me and my brother made my parent download, where there would be all main characters and you could play their iconic quotes and put as ringtones, which every character had at least 200 or more there. everyone i know watched it, i remember always rushing home to be there when it aired. one of my closest friends keeps telling me his favorite memory of childhood is us quoting penguins at school. sometimes when my mind is on autopilot i sing the musical episode. so when i saw the thumbnail and the beloved penguins called forgotten, i felt attacked personally

    I never batted an eye at the "romance" between Gordon and Human Kimberly (which...I feel like I have to call her that because Gordon, and I think even some other characters refer to her constantly as "Human Kimberly). Kimberly is an adorable character design. Like for real. I never use the word "moppet" in speech, but that's like...the only way to properly describe her. Nowadays not only is it uncomfortable (albeit unintentionally so), but it also feels like a waste of such an endearing character design. I honestly feel like she should have had more starring roles in the show. The show being created by Doug TenNapel also kind of stings in retrospect.

I also watched and loved all the original making fiends flash shorts and would watch them over and over. I think these were a big part of where I got my love for both puppetry and like, creepy / freakfest content that grew into a big love of horror. I do vivdly remember some mr meaty episodes like scarring me for life, but even then I couldn't stop watching, it brought me a lot of joy as a kid.

    Here are my thoughts: - Catscratch is the most hilarious Nicktoon I’ve ever seen. It could’ve been the next SpongeBob or Looney Tunes, but stupid Nickelodeon pulled the plug. - From what I’ve heard, Making Fiends was originally a series of webtoons and when they canned the show, the creator wasn’t allowed to make more of them. - El Tigre was a solid series and after rewatching it, it makes me feel bad about complaining about it years ago. - Mr. Meaty is without a doubt, the best puppet show since Between the Lions and it really helped shape my style of humor and storytelling. Too bad the series lost its identity in the second season and changed it into a generic teen sitcom that was full of stupid life lessons and rewrote most of their characters. - The Penguins of Madagascar is living proof that the penguins can really stand well on their own, but the real star of the show is the man, the myth, the legend…KING JULIEN! You can never go wrong with King Julien.

    Honestly I feel like if Nickelodeon were to _ever_ remember Making Fiends, they could probably go the Samurai Jack route and have the next season be for Nick @ Nite, just so they can be able to delve into the darker themes and tones that the web series episodes kinda went for (like referring to the giant kitty as "yon hellcat" instead of "yon fiendcat"), maybe even an episode where Charlotte comes to the conclusion that her parents are legit dead, I dunno… There actually are fully-written scripts for a 7-episode 2nd season, though it truthfully doesn't seem likely they'll ever see the light of day. Same for the planned merchandise items, too (besides the DVDs and T-shirts); There was a Charlotte voodoo plush, except her head was replaced with a slot where you could instead place a picture of someone, and one of those Russian doll toys where there's a bunch of smaller ones inside a big one (this one had Grudge first, then Vendetta, a generic fiend, and Buttons 2). I was also a Tibbitt-era kid for SpongeBob stuff. I think watching that was the first time that I realized newer episodes were being made of stuff, and that these didn't all just exist right outta the gate; I think it was "Toy Store of Doom" that I had the epiphany… I had a few compilation DVDs of SpongeBob, and only Absorbing Favorites was the one that had anything from the first 3 seasons. The rest were "Atlantis SquarePantis", "Spongicus", and "To SquarePants or Not To SquarePants", though I don't remember that one having that cover. I also have a few mandela memories of a few of those episodes; Pest of the West, I remember Patrick's song where he warns about Dead-Eye Plankton, ending with a slightly faster tempo, and the guys that sing the last line popping up from either below or to the right of the screen, accompanied with the sound of people quickly getting off of their stools, or something. And then during the second verse of the song "Idiot Friends", I seem to remember a faint slide whistle noise for whenever Patrick would rise from below the screen. And then Picture Day, I remember that episode ending with a quick zoom-in on SpongeBob's photograph. Also I got this song as an ad, during the part where you were talking about Mr. Meaty's musical episode? It appears to use the same lava lamp background at one point, so I think that has something to do with it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pnhp0ruNd8ifqto.html

One was a Worms rip off, and another was some kind of turn based combat game. Edit: The Worms one is called "Catscratch: This Means War!". Cant find anything about the other game, might be misremembering another game as Catscratch themed.

    Post-first movie SpongeBob can get really REALLY good sometimes, namely Season 4, which sometimes feels like a bit of a holdover from the first 3 seasons. Some of my favorite episodes are Krusty Towers, Fear of a Krabby Patty, Shell of a Man, Whale of a Birthday, The Lost Mattress, Skill Crane, Krabs Vs. Plankton, Selling Out, Ghost Host, Mrs. Puff You’re Fired, Have You Seen This Snail?, and Good Neighbors. (Yes, I even like this one too because it’s one of the only Squidward torture episodes that I feel doesn’t go *too* far and Squidward’s rage in the episode is genuinely funny thanks to the delivery and expressions he pulls off and the fact that his rage is actually pretty justified)

Sounds about right. And yes, I'm just as mad about the Making Fiends thing; it's actually terrible to hear what happened there.

I remembered watching quite a bit of Catscratch as a kid but that show basically vanished from my conscious memory until a few years ago when I was doing some house cleaning and came across an old McDonalds Waffle toy. I also have what I think is an El Tigre McDonald's toy that I have on a shelf in my room, these shows deserve to be more talked about (especially El Tigre imo cause Jorge is a fantastic creator). I'll be surprised if Mighty B isn't mentioned in this video. Edit: Mighty B mentioned, good 2:10:00 And there's the aforementioned Waffle toy 2:18:30 And the aforementioned El Tigre toy

    Making Fiends was so good. It reminds me a bit of Secret Saturdays as far as shows that go cancelled and then kinda disappeared. It is nice to see Pearl episodes, that's probably why I like the episode Whale Watching so much. Pearl and Squidward interacting and bonding is so fun. It's nice to see characters outside of Spongebob and how they intereact sometimes. It's nice to have variety. Like having good, moral characters and trouble-making ones. Both are okay. Mr. Meaty freaked me out though. I like puppets, but this was too much. It's too puppety for me. I can appreatiate the effort, but there's just something I can't get behind.
