		Nickelodeon either showed all of the episodes of a series or at least a lot more of the episodes than they do with their current programming.
		Nickelodeon jumped when the producers became too focused on Rugrats and the very tip of the iceberg in their ratings chart, and took off shows that were doing QUITE well.
		A problem i have with nickelodeon is that they dont even acknowledge their past and i know you all agree with me on that because i never ever see an episode of any show from the past.

	No TV ever? \| Ask MetaFilter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I've been reading that the images shown on regular TV are hypnotic for a baby, but that all of the quick cuts are too much for her baby brain to process, leading to the development of a short attention span.
		TV is something, like crap food, and missed bedtimes, that will be a part of most kids lives and that you will necessarily try to be careful with.
		But, if your wife continues to switch off the TV at the moment she feels your daughter "notices" it, then my feeling is, no matter what her age, she is going to continue to be drawn to it when she sees it.

		So those (early) episodes were actually longer and had fake commercials in them, and those things are really collectable right now because after (a certain time) Nickelodeon took out scenes and fake commercials when they started putting in their own commercials.
		We had local cable, which brought in three American stations and your local TV stations – that’s what cable was in Canada back at that point in time.
		JC: Well, I think that Nickelodeon obviously realized at a certain point they could produce their own shows, all these other shows you’ve mentioned, and own control over them, play them back as many times as they wanted, and control the content, too.

		During a breakfast kicking off a recent public TV programmers’ conference in La Quinta, Calif., marketers for Scholastic Entertainment donned capes to spoof the ratings potential of Maya and Miguel and Clifford’s Puppy Days, two animated series from Scholastic that were promoted as antidotes to PBS’s daytime ratings woes.

		The new preschool block will be “very similar to what we did with PBS Kids Go!,” the block for school-aged kids that PBS introduced in 2004, Rotenberg said.

		The U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington staged a flag burning of sorts today, ruling that the FCC does not have the authority to require makers of TV sets to equip them with a broadcast flag that would prevent digital broadcast signals from being redistributed.
		The rule, passed in 2003 and scheduled to go into effect this July (see "Consumer groups refuse to salute digital flag"), was an assault on two of the Net's fundamental building blocks -- open-source software and the principle of end-to-end communication -- and the judges rightly ruled it out of bounds.

	IGN: Tak: The Great Juju Challenge Review
		Nickelodeon and THQ's Tak series has quietly been plowing along on consoles without me, running through brilliantly colorful adventures that seem decent entertainment for the young fans into the series.
		The framerate is great in every one of the game's multiple play modes, which also include racing and chicken-floating (nominations for Olympic sport contention, by the way, start here) in addition to standard platforming.
		The DS's low-res texturing abilities is usually hidden pretty well in the lush world -- you usually don't get hit in the face with blocks of textures except for close-ups in cutscenes, and as I said, cutscenes are rarely that detailed to begin with.

	As Told By Ginger - Questions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		When Nickelodeon started "TEENick", somebody figured out that the show was targeted at "tweens" (that is, "between" young kids and teenagers) and moved it to Sunday nights at 7:30, with reruns usually on Saturdays.
		If by "cancelled", you mean "will Nickelodeon take it off the air", I don't know the answer to that, but I don't see why they would take it off any time soon, especially as not all of the episodes have aired in the USA.
		It seems that Nickelodeon is lightening up on this in the second season, maybe because the show's "target audience" is a little older; it's hard not to have an episode like "Losing Nana Bishop" without some form of the word "dead".
