Nickelodeon (2009-present)

Nickelodeon is an American pay television channel which was first tested in December 1, 1977, before launching internationally as the first children’s cable television channel. Nickelodeon used to be an awesome channel, as it held up as being the first and one of the greatest children's network for about 40 years, even after the new logo in 2009, that year still ended on a high note. When the 2010s came about, however, Nickelodeon started to lose their charm and began to go downhill, which is very sad, and that’s what we are talking about here.

Why It Sucks Now

 * 1) One of the main reasons the network went through a downright spiral is because of its president, Cyma Zarghami, who made a bunch of awful decisions during her leadership, such as turning down great shows such as mh:besttvshows:Adventure Time and mh:besttvshows:Phineas and Ferb (in which ended up being pitched to Cartoon Network and Mh:besttvshows:Disney Channel instead) while allowing bad shows such as Mh:terribletvshows:Fanboy & Chum Chum, Mh:terribletvshows:Planet Sheen, Mh:terribletvshows:The Mighty B!, Mh:terribletvshows:Sanjay and Craig, Mh:terribletvshows:Breadwinners, etc, as well as constantly milking SpongeBob SquarePants to the max, while leaving other good shows, mostly imfamously mh:besttvshows:Harvey Beaks, at the corner. Not to mentioned, but she even treated creators like C.H. Greenblatt pretty terrible and illegally laid off 30 people (with four people, including the creator of Constant Payne, being blacklisted).
 * 2) *The network's current CEO, Brian Robbins, isn't really a better president than Cyma Zarghami.
 * 3) As mentioned before and like Cartoon Network with Mh:terribletvshows:Teen Titans Go!, Nickelodeon lately has been milking SpongeBob SquarePants, along with The Loud House to death without taking a break from it for a while, due to those show being the network's cash-cow, as it continues to take up almost the entire time-slot, with other shows get little to no airtime.
 * 4) *Aside from that, the network is also obsessed with mh:besttvshows:Paw Patrol and Mh:terribletvshows:Peppa Pig (via Nick Jr.) as they also air frequently during the Nick Jr. block in the main channel, although at least Nick Jr. still gives a few other shows some airtime in their channel unlike the main channel.
 * 5) As mentioned before, the network also aired some pretty mediocre-to-bad/bad seasons of good shows during this era, such as SpongeBob SquarePants (Seasons 6 & 7), The Loud House (Seasons 4-present), Mh:terribletvshows:Ollie's Pack, Mh:terribletvshows:Side Hustle, The Mighty B!, Fanboy & Chum Chum, Planet Sheen, Monsters vs. Aliens, Sanjay and Craig, Mh:terribletvshows:Rocket Monkeys, Breadwinners, Mh:terribletvshows:Pig Goat Banana Cricket, Mh:terribletvshows:Bunsen Is A Beast, Mh:terribletvshows:The Adventures of Kid Danger, Mh:terribletvshows:Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures, Mh:terribletvshows:How to Rock, Mh:terribletvshows:Marvin Marvin, Mh:terribletvshows:Fred: The Show, Mh:terribletvshows:Sam & Cat, Mh:terribletvshows:The Haunted Hathaways, Mh:terribletvshows:The Thundermans, Mh:terribletvshows:Every Witch Way, Henry Danger (Seasons 1-3), Bella and the Bulldogs, Mh:terribletvshows:Make It Pop, Mh:terribletvshows:Awesomeness TV, Mh:terribletvshows:Talia in the Kitchen, Mh:terribletvshows:Game Shakers, WITS Academy, Mh:terribletvshows:Get Blake!, Mh:terribletvshows:School of Rock, The Other Kingdom, Mh:terribletvshows:Danger Force, Winx Club (Seasons 5-8), The Fairly OddParents (Seasons 9 & 10),Mh:terribletvshows:Knight Squad, and Mh:terribletvshows:Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks.
 * 6) Speaking of which, even their sitcoms called "Nickcoms" has been taking a dip in quality since the early 2010s, with most of them being repetitive, corny and flat-out unfunny. "Dis"honorable mentions go to Henry Danger, Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures, Sam & Cat, The Thundermans, Awesomeness TV and most infamously, Fred: The Show.
 * 7) During the recent years, they've also been the suspects for unauthorized uses of fan content being used in their ads without the permission of/nor crediting the original creators, most infamously the SpongeBob SquarePants + LEGO City Adventures promo where it uses a copyrighted background from a fan-artist named Matt S. (a.k.a Lolwutburger), but with his name cropped out! Not to mention, but they also used a Pooh's Adventures version of Mh:greatestmovies:The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie poster for one of their shows called, The Substitute. There's even an article about it.
 * 8) *It's also hypocritical for ViacomCBS, since they're mainly notorious for taking down videos that uses their content on YouTube, even under fair-use, yet they possibly allowed this.
 * 9) They even went far as greenlighting Kamp Koral, despite mh:besttvshows:Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants, not being in fond of spin-offs involving his characters being aged-down. The announcement received massive backlash from fans, who thought of it being a disgrace to Hillenburg’s legacy by breaking their promise to him, and claimed that they deliberately waited for him to die in order to make the spin-off happen, despite apparently being in development before his death, according to Mh:besttvshows:Vincent Waller.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) They used to be good before 2009.
 * 2) The current 2009 logo was very decent. See the image above.
 * 3) They still air (or aired) a few decent/good shows during this era, such as SpongeBob SquarePants (since season 9), The Loud House (the first three seasons), iCarly, mh:besttvshows:Welcome to the Wayne, mh:besttvshows:Robot and Monster, Mh:besttvshows:The Barbarian and the Troll, The Fairly OddParents (before season 9), mh:besttvshows:T.U.F.F. Puppy, Mh:besttvshows:Big Time Rush, Mh:besttvshows:Harvey Beaks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), mh:besttvshows:Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, mh:besttvshows:Victorious, Mh:besttvshows:I Am Frankie, Henry Danger's later seasons, Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn (the first two seasons), Mh:besttvshows:The Legend of Korra, Mh:besttvshows:Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Mh:besttvshows:PAW Patrol, mh:besttvshows:The Penguins Of Madagascar, and Mh:besttvshows:Blaze and the Monster Machines.
 * 4) Their international versions are still good.

Reception
While the first 40 years of the channel from 1979-2009 received mostly positive-to-decent reception, it started to go downhill since the 2010s, and nowadays, the channel has been receiving mixed to negative reception from many old fans of the channel, with some saying the new logo is not good, despite it being decent now, and others saying that it’s current programming is what made the channel lose its charm, suffering a similar problem with Disney Channel since the similar time period.
