Nick Jr. (2014-present)

Nick Jr. is an American preschool TV network. It is a version of Nickelodeon for younger kids.

Why It Isn't the Smart Place to Play Now

 * 1) The network these days has shows that rip off other preschool shows from other networks such as PBS Kids and Disney Junior. Some from this network too.
 * 2) *Besides some good or decent shows, there are lots of rip-offs of other preschool shows.
 * 3) *This shows the people who come up with the concepts for these shows are running out of ideas.
 * 4) The network is now obsessed with toyetic preschool shows, mostly Canadian CGI shows.
 * 5) mh:terribletvshows:Peppa Pig and Paw Patrol are pushed WAY too much and are the network's pets. Heck, they are pushed so much most of the only shows that stand out to the network are just shows that ended already and are currently getting reruns.
 * 6) mh:besttvshows:Butterbean's Cafe and mh:besttvshows:Shimmer and Shine, while great, are good examples of shows that try very hard to appeal to the little girls watching.
 * 7) Bad/average shows that air on the network such as Nella The Princess Knight, mh:terribletvshows:Rainbow Rangers, Little Charmers, mh:terribletvshows:Ryan's Mystery Playdate, Baby Shark's Big Show and Deer Squad.
 * 8) The network has been a dumping ground for shows with low ratings, similar to NickToons.
 * 9) The current rebrand is really bad.
 * 10) Canadian shows somewhat stand out to the network more than they did.
 * 11) The network tries extremely hard to appeal to the younger viewers.
 * 12) Sometimes the shows that air on the network and the promos/bumpers that air on it can try to be hip with the kids.
 * 13) NickMom was a bad block.
 * 14) Even when Nick Jr. declined in quality a bit when it became a network, it became really bad in 2012 when Moose and Zee left.
 * 15) The network when compared to other preschool networks such as PBS Kids, Disney Junior and other preschool networks/blocks is abysmal. In fact, Nick Jr. nowadays makes the Cartoonito block look enjoyable to watch.
 * 16) Reruns of shows like Oobi and Jack's Big Music Show (which aired back when the channel was called Noggin) were buried in graveyard slots. After the network rebranded in 2012, Jack (and possibly other older Nick Jr. shows) only aired between September 2012 to March 2012 before they were removed completely.
 * 17) They indefinitely pulled Little Bill from the air due to controversies with creator Bill Cosby in 2014.
 * 18) They have pulled far too many old shows from reruns. Examples of shows that stopped airing reruns on the Nick Jr. channel include:
 * 19) Jack's Big Music Show
 * 20) Oobi
 * 21) Blue's Clues
 * 22) Ni-Hao, Kai Lan
 * 23) Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!
 * 24) Wonder Pets!
 * 25) The Backyardigans
 * 26) Go, Diego, Go!
 * 27) Dora the Explorer
 * 28) Max & Ruby
 * 29) Olivia
 * 30) Dino Dan
 * 31) Pinky Dinky Doo
 * 32) Yo Gabba Gabba!
 * 33) Little Bill
 * 34) It is now getting smashed to the ground by it's No.1 rival Disney Junior which is a network that's doing really well now.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) There are some good shows such as Seasons 1-6 of Paw Patrol, Abby Hatcher, mh:besttvshows:Butterbean's Cafe, The Paddington reboot, Santiago of the Seas, mh:besttvshows:Team Umizoomi, mh:besttvshows:Bubble Guppies, Wallykazam, mh:besttvshows:Top Wing and mh:besttvshows:Blue's Clues & You!.
 * 2) The logo's not different and still looks decent.
 * 3) The channel was way better before 2013.
