Comments
editThe sentence "Nicktoons plays or has played every Nickelodeon cartoon to first air in later or earlier." in the article does not make sense, previously it was "Nicktoons plays or has played every Nickelodeon cartoon to first air in 2002 or earlier." I'd correct it but I don't have knowledge about Nicktoons. Can someone else who knows what this sentence is supposed to mean correct it? Qutezuce 03:33, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
By the way, Nicktoons Network is only similar to Cartoon sister channels like Toon Dinsey or Cartoon Network's Boomerang. Now please, only sister channels. Cartoon Network is NOT a sister channel.
Well, Nicktoons started in 1991, so what I guess it means is that it has aired every Nicktoon in between 1991 and 2002 at least once, but they (whoever "they" is) have the right to kick a show off the air as long as it had aired one episode. However, with the fact clearly stated that All Grown Up! will be airing in the future, I'd say the only thing to correct is that a Nicktoon won't be aired if it has a post-2002 airdate. --Wack'd About Wiki 13:32, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
Advertising.
editAs told in the article, Nicktoons was supposed to have commercials by August, 2005. However, as of this writing (January 16, 2006), I still haven't seena single commercial, other than their bumps for their shows/network and the in-between cartoons between features. For the record, I'm on DirecTV. --65.146.17.220 13:05, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, I've seen some commercials on Nicktoons Network, but not that many of them. Squirepants101 23:49, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with 65.146.17.220, I have not seen a single ad on the network. And I generally have it on for at least half an hour everyday. captbananas 10:54, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Ok, there is probably 1 0r 2 per every hour. You just need to keep watching!-GD1223
Comcast not a satellite company
editthe infobox shows Comcast as a satellite channel/company but it is a cable company. Also, cable channels are generally not congruent among different regions. Mike Richardson 07:23, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
AAAHH!!! Real Monsters! is gone
editAAAHH!!! Real Monsters has been dropped from regular scheduling.
I hear AAAHH!!! Real Monsters is returning to nicktoons starting january 3, 2011 along with Kaput & Zosky.
Regarding Programs That Were "Formerly" Broadcast
editI want to make it known that while shows such as Charlie Brown, Tiny Toons, and Animaniacs are OBVIOUSLY not returning, Nicktoons originals such as The Wild Thornberrys could just be currently off the schedule. Those shows could come back some day, and I think the article needs to be edited to reflect that.
- Roger that. Both The Wild Thornberrys and Oh Yeah! Cartoons are back.
- Copy that. Both As Told By Ginger, Chalkzone, Rocket Power are back.
GF to headquarters. Wh yare we talking like astronauts? Over. --Glitch Freak
Logos
editThere was one more logo you forgot that they used it was a gray,Black,and white version of the nickelodeon splat
Capital T
editPlease stop spelling "Nicktoons" with a capital T. It is not capitalized. The network site does not spell it like "NickToons Network"69.141.79.71 03:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Skyland
editI think it should be noted that it preimered in January.
Angry Beavers
editAlthough many websites and TV guides still list the Angry Beavers on their schedules, all of its airings have been replaced with Rocko or Ren & Stimpy. So please keep the beavers in the "formerly broadcast" section. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.46.245.225 (talk) 22:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC).
Also - Planet Sketch has been picked up by Nicktoons Network for a debut in the spring (see external references on Planet Sketch page). Please leave it in the "programs soon to be broadcast" section.
Check the website Nicktoons Network-GD1223

editWhy was the Angry Beavers cancelled in Nicktoons Network?
Sklocke 03:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
It probably had something to do with legal stuff. Sorry, Sklocke. I liked the show too. --Glitch Freak
Don't worry this has happened before, it will probably be back soon.--68.220.111.227 03:45, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Hopefully, it'll return like Rocko did after a little break. Rusty5 16:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Rusty5, your theory is incorrect.
- Sure, other classics like Ren & Stimpy, ZIM, Rocko, & CatDog has returned to the line-up.
- But, unfourtunatley, we can't say the same 4 the Beavers.
- The last time we saw them was in the 2007 "SuperStuffed NickToons Weekend", and we haven't seen the show since.
- D:>
- WHY, NICKTOONS, NICKELODEON, MTV, VIACOM, AND THEIR PARENT COMPANYS!?!? WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?!
- [sobbing]
- [stops sobbing]
- Um...... that wasn't me. It was a guy who saw a rainbow.
- Anywho, no. Angry Beavers is not returning to the spotlight.
- Go 2 YouTube if you wanna see them again.
- You'll thank me for this!!

Nicktoons Network Becoming A New Channel
editAccording to senior producer Tracey Cleland, the network will soon be redesigned again in a way that will "combine live action and 3D animation realistically".
thats crap. its not true69.141.79.71 03:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
NICKTOONS US IS NOT REBRANDING
editPlease stop adding bullshit about tracey cleland and live action idents and whatnot. Tracey Cleland works for Nicktoons IN THE U.K. Did anyone read the article and notice it talks about Sky Digital? Also, Nicktoons UK has a different logo now. Nicktoons UK has already rebranded. So it proves that Nicktoons US is staying the same. (Which i think is a good thing). Live action has no place on a cartoon channel, ident or not.69.141.79.71 17:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Danny Phantom, All Grown Up and Catscratch
editWhy ain't this shows in the soon to be sectionSonicrules2 01:37, 7 April 2007 (UTC)Sonicrules2
Danny Phantom is Now On Nicktoons Network.
Catscratch returns 8/2/07
Yakkity Yak Returned To Nicktoons Network
editThey are returning Yakkity Yak on Nicktoons Network on Monday, April 30, 2007. But Will Aaahh!!! Real Monsters,Kaput and Zosky,The Angry Beavers Returned To Nicktoons Network verry soon?
- We can keep praying they will. Keep in mind that Yakkity Yak is getting a very small, inconvenient slot. I'm suspecting not much better will be given to the oldies if they do return. I blame the new shows they're bringing in, which they think the audience does want. Rusty5 17:17, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
- I watched Nicktoons as long as I can remember. And I gurantee you, Nicktoons ain't gonna return that said show anytime soon.
Kaput & Zosky Is Returning
editkaput and zosky returning in September 1, 2007.
- i clearly doubt it. they stopped showing that show in 2006 and as to today and that's final. old school nicktoons tv is downhill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.243.23.219 (talk) 21:27, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
TWF
editThe Thumbs are back, so I'm going to take it out of the "Former Block" Section. However, that would require taking out the section all together because that's the only thing in there. Just saying, I'm the one who's doing this, so you can rant and rave all you want, but TWF is back on. See ya. Spottedstripe 12:46, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Stop changing Show off Your Show!!
editWhoever keeps changing "Show Off Your Show (Nicktoons Network)" to jsut "Show off Your Show" on the "Network Blacks" section, stop! "Show off Your Show" is not a link, but "Show Off Your Show (Nicktoons Network) is. I should know, because I created the article! Regards, Spottedstripe 01:27, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- I moved Show Off Your Show (Nicktoons Network) to Show Off Your Show to simplify the name. --Caldorwards4 01:29, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- I just redirected it. People are bound to get confused at just "Show Off Your Show". Spottedstripe 01:31, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

My Dad the Rock Star Returned To Nicktoons Network
editThey are returning My Dad the Rock Star on Nicktoons Network on September 9, 2007.
New Current Schedule
editThe TV guides have not yet updated with the change, but Invader Zim, Oh Yeah! Cartoons, Rocko's Modern Life, The Ren & Stimpy Show, and The X's have all been removed from the network.
- Nicktoons Network returned Invader ZIM quite a while ago, so you can watch that if you're a ZIM fan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.243.23.219 (talk) 21:23, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

editIs Rocket Power off the schedule or not! TV Guide says it's off until 10/1/07. However, episode summary is not updated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Idol 2006 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Censoring
editLast time I watched Nicktoons, during certain Wild Thornberries episodes, those times when Eliza had up skirt shots have seem to been edited out, I'm I the only person who noticed that. 75.179.153.39 (talk) 01:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- I gurantee you 100% that they cut it out due to content. Skirt shots are too sexuall to be in a kid's show. ~~MattBoo~~

- Dude, Tom & Jerry, Boohbah, Telletubies, Powerpuff Girls, and P + F aren't, weren't, and never will be broadcast on Nicktoons. And watch the potty mouth. But I do agree with you. Nicktoons's current programming line-up sucks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.214.234.124 (talk) 12:49, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
End of current logo?
editI see people keep changing the page (without any source whatsoever) and saying that the current logo will be retired on September 27. They say that the reason for this is that all Nick networks are getting a logo change on that day. I don't really think that's an excuse. There is no source. What do you guys think? - Sm1ttenzd 15:34, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- Is it that hard to cite sources? Other than that, until the logo actually changes on their material, it should remain the same here. --CCFreak2K (talk) 06:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- I shouldn't have to go around looking for sources for stuff that probably isn't true anyway. - Sm1ttenzd 15:52, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

- So, you're saying that Nicktoons Network will become Nicktoons again. If that's true, please make a note of it on this article.--68.37.66.81 (talk) 19:11, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Undo Redirects
editI don't want Nicktoons TV and Nicktoons (TV channel) redirecting here. I would like to make separate articles for them in disambiguation pages.
For Nicktoons TV, it will link to Nicktoons TV (TV channel) (the United States version), and Nicktoons (UK & Ireland) (because the international Nicktoons was formerly called Nicktoons TV).
For Nicktoons (TV channel), it will link to Nicktoons (2003 TV channel) (the 2003 version; replaced by Nicktoons Network), Nicktoons (2009 TV channel) (the 2009 version; will replace Nicktoons Network), and Nicktoons (UK & Ireland) (the current version).
The reason I want to do this is because I don't want the logos for Nicktoons TV and Nicktoons deleted. Please respond to my request. --68.37.66.81 (talk) 23:42, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- They're the same channel. No need to change it at all. Nate • (chatter) 00:33, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Can we just keep the logos on the Nicktoons Network article? If yes, then I'll be happy, since I can't have the logos deleted. Also, I suggest that you add the future logo. --68.37.66.81 (talk) 12:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Just rename NickToons Network to Nicktoons because it isn't NickToons Network anymore. It's called NICKTOONS as of 6am/3amP 11:18, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Get The NickToons TV Back On The Air!!
editAt least NN is NickToons again, but they didn't change the programming like I told them on my "why, nicktoons!? WHY!?!?!" section! WHY DIDN'T THEY!?!?!?!?!? At least they have some classic Nicktoons remaining (CatDog, Rocko, Rugrats, ect.), but not all!!! AND THEY'RE ON IN THE FRIKIN' MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT!!! F*** you, Nickelodeon!!! YOU USED TO BE COOL!!!!!! I fell bad for all of those Youtube users whose child paradises were KILLED BY SUCKELODEON!!!!
In all, I don't like the NickToons Network that we see now than the good one that we remember from 2002-2005).

Logo Problem
editYes, it is sad to say that someone keeps removing the Nicktoons TV, Nicktoons (first era) and Nicktoons Network's logos so the reader may never know what they were like. These words go specifically to MikeWazowski, the one responsible. As if TeenNick, Nick Jr, and Nickelodeon do this, Nicktoons should too. Notshane (Talk | Contributions) 00:18, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Why was the page, "Nicktoons" (Not the channel), deleted?
editNow that Nicktoons has been deleted, it's very hard for me to find what I need to find. I have to dig very hard to get concrete info now. I don't see what was wrong with the original article. It only simplified things and added more information on Nicktoons. The template, in my opinion, should still be up for the same reasons. I'm (and I'm sure many others are, too) having a lot of frustration here. Anybody who says "It isn't necessary" really isn't aware of the importance of this article. --Toonipedia (talk) 13:58, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Requested move 1
edit- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: No move. It seems there's no consensus that the network is more prominent than Nickelodeon's general animated programming called "Nicktoons". Discussion about splitting the animated programming off of the main Nickelodeon programming list can continue at that article. Cúchullain t/c 19:01, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Nicktoons (United States) → Nicktoons – The title, Nicktoons, currently redirects to List of programs broadcast by Nickelodeon, which is United States-specific. Nicktoons (United States) could be effectively internationalized by merely rewording the first sentence to say "Nicktoons (formerly called Nicktoons TV and Nicktoons Network) is a group of digital cable and satellite television networks originating in the United States and owned by Viacom". With this change, the current proposal at Talk:Nicktoons (disambiguation)#Requested move could be resolved as well, as it would make clear that all of these channels originate with a single entity, and there is therefore no ambiguity in the name, "Nicktoons". bd2412 T 15:18, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose "Nicktoons" has described Nickelodeon's animated shows for a couple of decades now. I'm not convinced that this network is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for it. --BDD (talk) 21:19, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
- List of programs broadcast by Nickelodeon also contains a large number of live action shows. If the term is synonymous with animated shows, then a separate article should be broken out to restrict this identity to the animated shows. The current redirect might suggest that both the cartoons and the live action shows are "Nicktoons". bd2412 T 23:24, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
- I agree that Nicktoons really should just be an article about Nickelodeon's animated programming, but I'm afraid that seems to go against the spirit of the AfD, and may even be seen as a workaround (although I didn't participate in that discussion). Perhaps such an article could be viable if the full programming list becomes large enough to merit a split. --BDD (talk) 03:15, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Nicktoons (TV channel) → Nicktoons (U.S. TV channel) – This channel was launched only two months before the British channel, and quite frankly, even though this is the original American channel "Nicktoons", I really don't think this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the TV channels, especially the British Nicktoons, considering the timespan of their respective launches. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:30E8:FB79:2979:709C (talk) 19:45, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

2024 Update- 24/7 Spongebob
editAs of summer 2024 (though the shift might've started as early as Dec 2023), Nicktoons programming has transitioned to solely airing Spongebob episodes. As of July 2024, a broadcast of the Kids' Choice Awards was still scheduled for the channel, but with commentary by Spongebob and Patrick (similar to the Superbowl simulcast). The decision has prompted speculation across the internet regarding 24/7 programming of singular shows on a variety of cable channels, how they reflect the "death of cable," and concerns regarding future media investments and Paramount's perspective on AI production. 99.145.186.17 (talk) 22:05, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
