NickToons (2014-present)

NickToons is an American television network that was launched on May 1, 2002, after the success of the mh:besttvshows:Nicktoons block on Nickelodeon. The channel was targeted on airing classic cartoons or shows from Nickelodeon. Even though the network was praised during its heyday, the network went downhill when they started to air some terrible live-action, which is stupid since NickToons is supposed to be a cartoon channel and not both.

Why It Isn't Too "Nick" Now

 * 1) The main problem with the channel nowadays is how it's (mostly) now used as a graveyard for Nickelodeon cartoons with low ratings to the point the cartoon would be led to air a few new episodes before getting cancelled altogether. That really shows Nickelodeon is so perfectionistic about TV ratings nowadays.
 * 2) For some strange reason, it tends to air live-action shows, which doesn't make sense since its sole purpose is to air animated shows, hence its name. Thankfully, this has gotten toned down since 2021.
 * 3) Many "failed" shows that originated on the main network have had new episodes premiere on NickToons. This includes shows like mh:besttvshows:My Life as a Teenage Robot and mh:besttvshows:El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.
 * 4) The channel is too dependent on reruns. They don't care about anything besides The Loud House, The Fairly OddParents, mh:besttvshows:Middlemost Post, The Patrick Star Show, mh:besttvshows:The Smurfs (2021), Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks and especially SpongeBob SquarePants and mh:besttvshows:The Casagrandes. Although this seems like variety, it's nothing but these shows on repeat.
 * 5) The infamous July 2014 block.
 * 6) They have dropped most of its original programming and put some of them (even SpongeBob) into graveyard slots. They also started airing sports content with NickSports in 2014, another reason why its name contradicts itself.
 * 7) The network has a block called ToonTime, and when they updated it, the only shows left are SpongeBob, The Loud House, Middlemost Post, and The Patrick Star Show, showing how they don't care about variety. They also have the error of saying it starts at 8PM, where The Casagrandes used to be (it's timeslots were taken by Kamp Koral and The Smurfs, which are not even mentioned there.)
 * 8) They are heavily dependant on airing the same commercials and bumpers from Nick, but uses their logo on it.
 * 9) All the variety is gone from the network. As mentioned on WIS #3, they heavily rerun The Fairly OddParents, and we mean heavily.
 * 10) Overall, this network is now a clone and a mixture of Nickelodeon and TeenNick.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The network was good before 2014.
 * 2) Even if the network has gone downhill, they occasionally air classic shows on holidays like Christmas, such as mh:besttvshows:Catscratch and mh:besttvshows:The X's.
