Nickelodeon's Live Action

Wasn't iCarly essentially the same thing? 

[Dr. Insomniac]

Wasn't Drake & Josh essentially the same thing?

[Avaitor]

Wasn't Kenan & Kel essentially the same thing?

[Spark Of Spirit]

He's writing the same show over and over. At least the first time you hear it, it feels fresh.

[Avaitor]

It's kinda weird hat the one show that was the least like all of his other ones (Zoey 1010) was also his worst.

K&K still gets a genuine and consistent laughs out of me to this day. Can't say the same for Schneider's stuff.

[Avaitor]

Kel is just too stupid for me. Too disturbingly stupid.

But yeah, I've always preferred Ned to Drake & Josh, and I definitely still do now. It's like comparing HIMYM to BBT. Even if you don't like either shows, you have to admit that one is vastly superior to the other.

100% agree. Ned has always been much funnier and enjoyable to me than any of Dan Schneider's shows (although I don't dislike Drake and Josh myself).

What I Like About You (you know, his WB show back in the day when he and Amanda Bynes were joined at the hip) wasn't quite as immature as his Nick stuff, and was somewhat different in the sense that it centered on the lives of slightly older characters, but still... not a good series by any means.

Honestly, I can't think of a single series of his that actually holds up. I don't even like Kenan & Kel, to be honest.

[Avaitor]

lol...

To be fair, he isn't exactly wrong. Nick has been losing to Disney lately. It's totally subjective to say that Nick's shows from Summers' era were better than what's airing today, but I don't think that he's wrong with the network changing focus, either.

Granted, creativity isn't the only issue Nick seems to have. They just don't have enough hit shows to stack up against Disney or even CN. SpongeBob still does well, but it has a tendency to drop in the ratings and it's been a while since new episodes have aired, Sam & Cat's ratings have been disappointing, Korra's been doing a lot worse for a plethora of reasons, their Dreamworks shows are barely cutting it. FOP is surprisingly holding up and Sanjay & Craig seems to be doing well, but they don't have much else besides that.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I thought Nick was sinking like a rock. They don't really have anything that isn't licensed out from something else and nothing is particularly doing well.

[Rynnec]

FOP is surprisingly holding up

Why?

[Avaitor]

FOP is surprisingly holding up

Why?

I don't know. Kids still seem to like it, even though Nick has been putting no effort in proving this elsewhere.

[Kiddington]

Wasn't FOP supposed to have been cancelled, liked, three times already? The first being way back in 2007?

Man, I just cannot see how it's lasted this long. Nick doesn't even market it!

The block is airing Power Rangers this week.

In case you forgot it was still on.
