Whats up with nickelodeon lately? they used to run all of the shows my 2 yr old loves, but now its....?

Question

only spongebob and drake and josh and icarly....what about yo gabba gabba and backyardagains and such?!? where did all of the cartoons go?!?

Answer 1

Backyardagains and others were on this morning.  But, I think I see less and less too.  Probably because it's summer and older kids are home right now.  I love the DVR for that kind of stuff!

Answer 2

They change the lineup in the summer to cater to the school-age kids that are out of school.  The little kid shows will be back on in September.  I know, it's annoying.  But I guess older kids are more likely to ask for the things they see on commercials, so more money is in it to put on their shows.  Sad but true.

Answer 3

The other posters were correct - Nick rerarranges its lineup in the summer to cater to the school age crowd that's home all day. If you have sattelite, you'll have the option of Noggin, Nick's all day preschool network, or Sprout, PBS's all day preschool network. I'm not sure if you can get those on cable, call your provider and ask. Meantime, I suggest DVDs of their favorite shows if they must have them.

Answer 4

Because of summer vacation nick jr is on from like 6:30- 10:00. Once school starts back the regualr schdule will return.

Answer 5

Spongebob, Drake and Josh, and Icarly all get ratings.  Because usually older kids watch Nick.  See if you can get the Nick JR channel, or watch shows on PBS like Sesame Street, Clifford, Curious George, etc.

Answer 6

They are on in the early morning now. During school days, it'll all come back, but Nick knows it will lose viewers if it has on baby shows all day.

Answer 7

I know, it's a pain, right? We went from satellite to cable, so I miss the west coast nick jr, and my 19 month old daughter sleeps until 9:30, so we get a half hour in the morning where we watch My friends tigger and pooh, then we switch to nik2 until noon, at which time she goes for a nap. Then she's SOL until morning again, lol. But lately we've started watching Miss Spider's sunny patch and little bill after naps, and niks about to lose my patronage. Just like nick at night, has anyone else noticed they try toooo dang hard to keep the shows all racially equal in time slots? I love the shows no matter who they are about, I want comedy, not to look at people differently cause they might look different. But an hour of caucasian, an hour of latino, and an hour of african american just gets old, they never vary. So if the adult version is so messed up, why bother with the kids. I mean, who thinks about the fact that the preteens with whom they cater to in the summer should be out in the backyard playing instead of parked in front of the tv, whereas the toddlers can't go out in the yard unsupervised, but now have nothing to keep them occupied? Lol, just a sore point with me, if my daughter didn't love goigo(diego), dora and Kai-lan(she's 19 months and seems to say more things in mandarin than english, lol, oops) I wouldn't watch nick jr. at all. Good luck!

Answer 8

It summertime the majority of kids are not toddlers. I am having the same problem with my toddler.

Answer 9

They are all on noggin now. or sprout all day, you will have to ask you cable provider for it though -Sprout-

Answer 10

The Backyardagians come on around 7 AM. I think Nickelodeon changed their shows for the summertime only because older kids are home now....but, as soon as school starts....the other shows should come back on at their regular times.
