Nickelodeon Schedule Discussion, Part 2

[kanc]

I wish Sam and Cat could film Christmas special IF it wasn't for the feud in the past spring and before it got cancelled and had been renewed for another season.. Although Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy from Sam and Cat last year (individually) wish those merry Christmas to Nick viewers; same thing with Thundermans and NRDD.

Haunted Hathaways also don't have Christmas themed episode filmed. Same thing for Wendell and Vinnie and Marvin Marvin but they were already cancelled last year. Henry Danger, TMNT, and rest of show that don't have Christmas shows were probably didn't produce it or never filmed, may probably have those in future maybe next year...

They had winter block party marathon Dec last year with Sam and Cat, Haunted Hathaways, Thundermans, SpongeBob, and Fairly OddParents, Sanjay and Craig/Rabbids.

Same thing for Nick at Nite that started late Jan to mid March earlier this year started from 1AM-6AM, Mon. - George Lopez, Tues - Hangin with Mr. Cooper, then changed to Christine, then lastly changed to My Wife and Kids, Wed - George Lopez, Thurs - Friends. I'm not sure whether Nick at Nite will do same thing for winter marathon next year, perhaps not..

Sun Dec 21 starting 2PM-8PM will be SpongeBob Winter Block marathon.

Penguins of Madagascar is showing Christmas special twice on schedule Sat Dec 6 and Sun Dec 14 7am. TUFF Puppy Christmas is also on schedule as well as Sun Dec 21 7AM. No Robot and Monster on schedule, which it had Christmas special two years ago..

I remember on spring 2014 Rabbids stopped airing episodes, 2 episodes had yet to air and reason it took long to air remaining episodes, because both were holiday themed. First was Halloween special, next was Christmas (last production 126). Rabbids is now in second season.

Hangin with Mr. Cooper had joined Nick at Nite from Jan to Sep this year, and didn't even air Christmas episodes on Nick at Nite except "Christmas 95". Some Christmas episodes they're airing is on Nick Jr channel (NickMom).

Week of Dec 22 Nick Jr air 8:30AM-12:30PM oddly.

Tues Dec 23 will have Fairly OddParents marathon at 2PM, then followed by Fairly OddChristmas at 6PM.

Victorious - A Christmas Tori did air last year, Sun Dec 1, and Sat Dec 7. There's still no sign of THIS showing this month of this year...

Big Time Rush Christmas special had aired two years ago one time only in Thurs Dec 13, 2012. It didn't air last year and most certain that it won't air this year.

iCarly iChristmas had been airing numerous times in history and premiered back in 2008 and continued since every December.

Disney on the other hand was airing Christmas specials of past sitcoms like Shake It Up, Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens, Hannah Montana, That's So Raven, Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Cory in the House, etc.. I wonder why Nick doesn't do those, other than shows that don't do well, like Bucket and Skinner, How to Rock. They each had Christmas episode. Romeo! had Christmas episode premiered in 2003, but it's not showing on Nick reruns anymore. Same thing with Kenan and Kel, All That, Cousin Skeeter, Naked Brothers Band and the rest..

Zap2it finally made changes:
Instant Mom and See Dad Run are back Thursdays 8PM. (Christmas themed)

 

[kanc]

Terry the Tomboy movie is surprisingly will air on Sunday 12pm. It's been awhile since last summer this year they aired it, only meant to air in summer.. since it's little summer related. But I guess it won't hurt if they air those.

From what I'm seeing before as of yesterday, Nick had put those new episodes of React To That Mon Dec 15 to Thurs Dec 18 at 7:30PM initially. But NOW they changed the slot to 6PM, which is apparently new episode React To That. Weekdays 6PM, may probably be same episode, as Tues-Fri episode list for React To That episode list has not been displayed on zap2it. OR could it possibly be new episodes every day and week after??

Mon Dec 22 will be movies from 2PM-6PM, then React To That 6PM, then followed by that Santa Hunters
Tues Dec 23 Fairly OddParents marathon, 6:30PM Fairly OddChristmas
Wed Dec 24 SpongeBob marathon, 6:30PM Truth or Square, then It's a SpongeBob Chritsmas
Thurs Dec 25 Henry Danger/Haunted Hathaways block, 6:00PM Santa Hunters

Is React To That airing new episodes every day, or will it be same episode weekly, since episode list on zap2it hasn't updated. Still no sign of Victorious..

 

[Rex Kamex]

I saw Nick's schedule for today. Looks like React2That is gonna premiere between hours (one before and one after) of episodes of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, & Dawn. Interesting...

 

[kanc]

Rabbids is sandwiched at 730am started last Friday and would continue every weekdays.
This week TMNT is now at 2pm, followed by Fairly OddParents at 230pm, spongebob block 3pm-5pm, which there is live action block. React To That is sandwiched between live action instead of spongebob lead-in. Max and Shred remains 730pm weekdays.

Drake and Josh is even back this Thursday at 630pm hour, with Sam and Cat 5pm hour. No Victorious.. Just saw the promo that all Victorious episodes will be on nick online.

I don't remember if I posted the time premiere for Every Witch Way, it's on January 5 7pm not 730pm i thought. From what i saw today's promo and banner

The Sunday morning POM and Tuff Puppy christmas were replaced with Fairly OddParents and 2 Power Rangers encores will follow. POM did air christmas special earlier this month

Nick January 2015: More Live-Action, Less ‘SpongeBob’ | NICKandMORE

Nick January 2015: More Live-Action, Less ‘SpongeBob’

This January, possibly in gearing up for the new SpongeBob movie, Nickelodeon will actually show fewer episodes of SquarePants per day – just four. In its place will be more live-action series, including new episodes of Every Witch Way, Max & Shred, Henry Danger, Nicky Ricky Dicky and Dawn, The Thundermans and the new series Bella and the Bulldogs. Also, new episodes of TMNT return – and there’s yet another day change!

First up on weekdays, Rabbids Invasion moves up to 7am with Fairly OddParents at 7:30. SpongeBob stays at 8am, followed by the preschool series in their recently changed timeslots from 8:30am-2pm. The Little Charmers will premiere Monday, January 12 at 12pm, moving Dora and Friends down to 12:30pm.

SpongeBob moves back up to its normal spot from 2-3:30pm, followed by Fairly OddParents at 3:30. iCarly gets a weekday strip at 4pm, followed by next-day encores of Every Witch Way at 4:30pm. New series Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn and Henry Danger also get weekday strips at 5pm and 5:30, respectively. From 6-7pm is an hour of The Thundermans. Every Witch Way is new each weeknight at 7pm, with Max & Shred returning with new episodes at 7:30.

On Saturday nights, Bella and the Bulldogs premieres January 17 at 8pm with an hour-long episode. After that, Bella moves into the night at 9pm, bumping Thundermans down to 9:30. The Haunted Hathaways will currently be off the line-up.

Lastly, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles returns with weekly premieres – now back on Sunday mornings at 11am. After a fall run back on Friday nights, the show heads back to Sundays starting January 11.

In Nick at Nite news, Everybody Loves Raymond joins the line-up, airing every night from ~12:12am-1:24am. That’ll bump How I Met Your Mother down to ~1:24-2:36am, with four episodes of George Lopez running from ~2:36-4:57am. Mother will end the night with two more episodes until 6am.

Nick January 2015: More Live-Action, Less ‘SpongeBob’ | NICKandMORE

We must not forget that the schedule COULD change at the last minute, since this IS Nick we're talking about.

 

[Rex Kamex]

Well based on what that schedule currently is....

It's one thing for The Haunted Hathaways not to be on that Saturday night line-up, but it's another thing for it not to be on the weekday schedule either. iCarly is still able to be on the weekday schedule, and The Thundermans gets a whole hour of episodes, but The Haunted Hathaways isn't on the weekday schedule, as of what this article says. Hmmmmmmmmmm...

So..

PM
2:30 - 3:30: Spongebob
3:30: FOP
4: iCarly
4:30: Every Witch Way (encore)
5:00: NRDD
5:30: HD
6:00 - 7:00: TTM
7:00: EWW
7:30: Max & Shred (WTH?)

Ok, wow. Um. Well first of all. I did not think Nick would reduce Spongebob this much, especially with the movie coming up. I'll get to that later though. So Nick is basically doing what it did last year since it worked well for them. January will completely focus on live-action, with the focus shifting to animation in February. Not bad, and the only reason I'm ok with this (even though SJC/BW have been off the air since November) is because they'll likely benefit someway...somehow from the Spongebob hype that will explode in February. I mean, they do share a block with the Sponge.

iCarly at 4 doesn't bother me. We all know it will do very well there, but then there's that EWW encore, which is a horrible bridge between iCarly/NRDD. Why does Nick feel the need to encore the series? They could do what they've always done, and just release the episode on demand/online right after it airs. This is very risky since the show is so serialized. I know they'll be repeating the episodes that aired the night before, but it still just seems risky to me.

NRDD should have gotten the 1 hour repeat slot, not TTM. Both premiere well for Nick, yes, but NRDD has proven to be a repeat monster. Nick could have easily just aired TTM @ 7:30 right after EWW, but NOOOO, they wasted it on "Max & Shred" a show, which I thought, was just filler until EWW returns. Wow.

Unfortunately, this could be a sign of THH being canned, which I saw coming from a mile away. The least Nick could have done was just move the show to Thursdays @ 7:30 in January. But nope, Max & Shred is there. Why is Nick trying to make this series work? They have enough live action.

HD, NRDD, BATB, TTM is a good block, bravo to Nick for sandwiching Bella between two of their biggest shows. There's no reason this show should get low ratings.

and THANK YOU NICK, for moving TMNT back to where it belongs. Sundays @ 11. Now hopefully this will be its permanent slot until the series ends.

But yeah, so it's going to be all about the live-action in January, with February becoming all about its animation. Wonder if Bad Seeds or PGBC will be ready by Feb? Launching a new animated series in Feb. will be a good idea too.

NRDD should have gotten the 1 hour repeat slot, not TTM. Both premiere well for Nick, yes, but NRDD has proven to be a repeat monster. Nick could have easily just aired TTM @ 7:30 right after EWW, but NOOOO, they wasted it on "Max & Shred" a show, which I thought, was just filler until EWW returns. Wow.

Ehhh... The Thundermans has more episodes to rerun, so I don't mind it getting the hour block over Nicky, Ricky, Dicky, & Dawn getting the hour.

Unfortunately, this could be a sign of THH being canned, which I saw coming from a mile away.

My thing about iCarly at 4 is that I was pointing out one of the shows with a slot I thought could've been used for The Haunted Hathaways (not saying THH should rerun at 4, but...)

- iCarly would be the only live action Nick show on that 2:30pm-8pm weekday schedule that didn't start in 2013 or later. (In fact, 2012 was the year that it ended.)

- The Thundermans is the only live action Nick show on that 2:30pm-8pm weekday schedule that gets two weekday reruns.

- I suppose Every Witch Way sticks out as a live action Nick show on weekdays by airing a new episode and one rerun each day on that 2:30pm-8pm.

My point is that I think The Haunted Hathaways could easily have a rerun slot rather than any of the examples above happening. I think they intentionally kept it off the schedule and that it wasn't a case of "Well, we were going to put it on the weekday schedule but we ran out of room." They're trying to focus on current live action stuff on the weekdays with this schedule (2013 and beyond), but iCarly is so popular that it gets an exception, yet THH, with started in 2013, is not here.

The least Nick could have done was just move the show to Thursdays @ 7:30 in January. But nope, Max & Shred is there. Why is Nick trying to make this series work? They have enough live action.

I thought Max & Shred wasn't doing so well in ratings. On the other hand, it won this Disney & Nick Awards poll, and it won this Nick and More poll. The fact that it can win stuff suggests something about the show.

(It is one of the more down-to-earth shows, not a supernatural show or an "I want to be a big star" show- yes, one of the leads is a sports star, but from what I've seen it's still not trying to be one of those "I want to be a big star" live action shows. I do personally think this should've just gone to TeenNick though.)

HD, NRDD, BATB, TTM is a good block, bravo to Nick for sandwiching Bella between two of their biggest shows. There's no reason this show should get low ratings.

Assuming that The Haunted Hathaways won't go beyond its current season, at least one of the people who played one of the side characters of that show ended up getting the lead role of Bella and the Bulldogs. A few of the writers from The Haunted Hathways are involved with this show. So that's cool.

Still hoping for a possible Season 3 though...

 

[rockorockorocko]

Wow. What a PECULIAR move by Nick reducing the daily episodes of SBSP to four? That's pretty outrageous, especially considering the movie premiere? Perhaps the mindset is PROMOTE the movie and DEPRIVE the audience of the show, so they are forced to watch the movie to get their SBSP fix? Kind of a risk... but nothing that can't be fixed.

Nice to see RI given a spot even at 7am, wish SJC/BW got weekday spots, but I don't expect them to be gone from the weekday lineup too long. TMNT back on Sundays... about time! I wonder if Nick just wanted to keep TMNT away from NFL football since it "kinna" deals with the same audience - men/boys. Who knows? Anyway, I expect the show to get back over 2.0M Sunday mornings. And could we please burn the final 10 KFP episodes? Sigh.

----

As for the live action. I don't "personally" like multiple live shows on the schedule. I like the mini-marathons Nick did in the Fall of NRDD/HD/IC/TTM/SaC. Felt it gave the audience a chance to watch the shows they wanted to all early-evening and it helped keep the ratings and maintain the audience.

I'm all for more diversity tho... but I rather still have some early-afternoon SBSP. But I guess Nick is confident in their live action, which don't put up bad numbers at all. The EWW 4:30pm slot IS weird, but shoot, it's a good show for Nick overall. As for MaS, season one finishes off soon, so maybe it disappears after it's final 10 eps premiere. I don't expect the live action to do particularly well set up like this but you never know.

Based off how the shows are... I would've gone:

2:00pm - SBSP
2:30pm - SBSP
3:00pm - FOP
3:30pm - SJC
4:00pm - HD
4:30pm - NRDD
5:00pm - TTM
5:30pm - SaC
6:00pm - iCarly
6:30pm - iCarly
7:00pm - EWW
7:30pm - MaS

Saturday evenings will be what it is. Wether the shows can all improve in ratings is up in the air... there's no clear-cut hit like SaC anymore. But the shows do well together. BatB fits where it's at. Nick obviously wants the older casts in the 9pm hour. Personally though, I would have gone NRDD-BatB-HD-TTM. But we can't NOT have a DS lead the night I suppose.

As for THH, well, I think Nick boots it to Thursdays at 7:30pm once EWW is done. That will likely be the return of IM/SDR.. so THH-IM-SDR Thursday nights.

 

[RDG]

Nick has officialy stated that new episodes of TMNT will return at a new time starting Jan. 11

 

[kanc]

Is there anybody other than me who can make new thread for January 2015 new episodes for Nick?

 

[Poweranimals]

Is there anybody other than me who can make new thread for January 2015 new episodes for Nick?

I'd do it but I don't really know anything about their animated shows outside of TMNT.

 

[kanc]

OK that's ok. I'll do it. I think I did good job with thread, except formatting into columns which takes much whitespaces.

It's just I'm sorry I been holding up for long time after my break. I wanted to hang out with my family and friends. So I'll post the new thread this afternoon.

 

[MilkTheCouch]

There's been SpongeBob hype already. Just look at how many marathons have been played in the past few days and next week, possibly to celebrate the movie. My uncle said that this was the reason a marathon played today. As for why there are fewer airings, it's possibly because Nickelodeon is going the Disney Channel route and ditching cartoons in the future, since their shows get higher ratings. SpongeBob may suffer the same fate Disney's own Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jake and the Neverland Pirates are soon to get-getting cancelled when it was still popular.

SpongeBob's been on TV for more years than both of those two Disney shows combined, and I doubt either of those two Disney shows reached even close to the level of popularity that SpongeBob's gained. Canceling SpongeBob now would be a much bigger thing than canceling Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

"Bad Seeds" and Pig Goat Banana Cricket, if I'm not mistaken, are at least two of the cartoons still planned to come on Nick, anyway.

Nick does want to make sure it has plenty of live action, but that, also, doesn't automatically suggest it's going to get rid of all the Nicktoons soon. I assume SpongeBob's airing less partially to increase the diversity in the schedule and partially to give more value to SpongeBob having his presence in the upcoming movie.
