Spongebob is a classic example of what Nick has become. The old episodes were the best!

They were better because the show was originally made for adults, so there was enough humor in it. Now it's overcensored and thin.

The voice actress is 73, so I'd assume she retired.

Larry the lobster is around a lot less
Sandy seems to be around less

Not sure why. Both voices are still on the payroll.

and I realised that Disney now airs two-three animated shows

P&F is the only decent one. The creators worked on Rocko's Modern Life, Family Guy, The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Hey Arnold, etc. All they dropped was most of the raunchiness.

The voice actor for Larry the Lobster is still on the payroll because he also does the voice of Plankton.

I have to say, though, I never thought Larry added much to the show. Unlike the other characters, he didn't really have a distinct personality nor was he very interesting to begin with. I can see why that character was ditched.

Old nick, I was born in 1999 so I didn't really see all those shows but, most shows these days are annoying as heck.

Nickelodeon has become too much like Disney Channel, and that's why it's so unwatchable.
You know, if either channel put on one good show (like Bones or Doctor Who) I would probably sit through all the other "quality" television just to watch them.

what I said above is still a big fat maybe.

I thought spongebob was made for children because i even watched the 1999/2000 ones and it doesnt have any cussing or anything adult rated in it , or is it just boring for children to watch? someone please answer.

Old Nick no question. Just looking through the guide over the next few days there's 1 show on that I would watch and it only seems to be on once over the course of the three days. If you throw in the spinoff channels Nicktoons and TeenNick most of the shows I would watch are just the reruns of older shows and the one show I would really love to see new episodes of (Wolverine and the X-men) barely had one season.

New nick is unfunny big Youtube stars (like Fred or AnooyingOrange) doing stuff on camera. Old Nick was all my favourite shows. What do you think?

[quote]Doesn't Spongebob count as old Nick as well? It was around in 1999/early 2000s. I agree it should count as old Nick.I have to say Old Nick cause of Ren and Stimpy.
