View Full Version : Nick at Nite summer schedule updates and discussion
tenter 05-28-2015, 09:43 PM It's time to make a new thread for Nick at Nite updates/schedule changes for summer season.
This week starting Monday to Friday has had Friends Getaway themed episodes 11PM-12:12AM as this promo was occasionally airing reusing it from last Aug 2014.
And... starting tomorrow (Fri May 29)/early May 30, Nick at Nite is finally bringing Friends takes back 12:12AM and 12:48AM. So that means Friends finally has 4 airings instead of 2. Also, Fresh Prince moves the slot 1:24AM and 2AM. That means Everybody Loves Raymond is permanently off the lineup on Nick at Nite. Everybody Loves Raymond has been on Nick at Nite started in January and lasted until late May, almost 5 months. Apparently due to low ratings and bad acquisition to start with, but at least they have aired almost all episodes. ELR can still be seen on TBS and TVLand.
Every Saturdays and Sundays starting Sat May 30 & Sun May 31,
-Full House takes the 10PM hour back, which forces Fresh Prince off the primetime lineup, but after Friends 4 airings 11PM-1:24AM, Fresh Prince then gets 4 airings 1:24AM-3:48AM. Unfortunately How I Met Your Mother encores no longer seeing on weekends, but only weekdays. HIMYM is getting reduced.
To sum up, ELR is off the lineup. HIMYM gets reduced airings per week, for airing weekdays only.
The problem is that with ratings were down, when only new acquisition shows added to schedule scored so low. Since Nick at Nite has 30th anniversary on July 1, it's quite unclear what shows would air, but I can guess Nick at Nite has no interest airing the specials or doing marathons because it's no longer a popular network.
Another thing is with only 4-5 shows running on a Nick at Nite block, the future is unclear what new acquisitions would be since there hasn't been one....
Younger airing every Tuesdays 10PM new episode; last episode of season is June 9.
tenter 05-29-2015, 11:38 AM Instant Mom would be on hiatus again after June 3 on TVLand for the summer, which means there are 7 more episodes to finish season 2. See Dad Run is way overdue and hasn't been airing new episodes since last December. See Dad Run has 7 more episodes left to air!

The new development series The Chaos Chronicles is being developed to a Nick at Nite series. The article was posted last month. Another series is Divorced Family. Nickelodeon didn't give much information for those two new series.
mets82 05-29-2015, 05:48 PM Well, you do a hell of a job. Obviously, Nick at Nite doesnt give a damn about there history because there seems to be no anniversary speical or anything.
Its tough to be a show on Nick at Nite because the new shows they acquire dont seems to work. ELR and HIMYM didnt do good. So then you have to ask whats next?

It's saddening that Nick at Nite has no future, even the new acquisitions or return of the sitcoms never do well in ratings anymore.
List of sitcoms that never did well in reruns started from fall 2011
Example:
-Brady Bunch return in 2012 placed in 5AM hour
-Wendell and Vinnie former Nick at Nite series
-See Dad Run former Nick at Nite series (7 unaired)
-Instant Mom current Nick at Nite (currently airing TVLand new episodes until Jun 3)
-My Wife and Kids return in Jan 2014
-That 70s Show return in March 2014
-Hangin with Mr. Cooper from Jan 2014-Sept 2014
-How I Met Your Mother
-Everybody Loves Raymond
-Old Adventures of Christine
-All That/Kenan and Kel - lasted three weeks in primetime in late Jun 2012-mid Jul 2012
-Hollywood Heights (one hour former Nick at Nite drama)
-So Little Time one-time only placed at 6AM hour for repeats
-Family Matters return in fall 2012, although ratings did ok..
-Home Improvement return on and off between 2010-2012, ratings did bad
Overall these former acquistions as you said doesn't do well. Fresh Prince ratings did ok, but not Full House level though.
I wouldn't be surprised if Full House takes that 10PM hour back on weekdays but they haven't yet, just weekends.
mets82 06-01-2015, 05:39 PM But you have to have more than Full House on your channel. I was thinking about this over the weekend about what shows you can put on to help Nick at Nite. From your stats, it doesnt seem like any of them would fly. Let me ask would any of these shows work?
Home Improvement
Step by Step
Family Matters
Growing Pains
8 Simple Rules
My Wife and Kids
Seinfeld

Well I would've use THIS in another thread for predictions of Nick at Nite future:
I think Family Matters would return to Nick at Nite in future since it did very well in ratings throughout the past several years ago. Step by Step is a good possibility to come to Nick at Nite in future like 2016. Rest of the shows are not a good fit for Nick at Nite.
But then again I think maybe it's time Nick at Nite to wipe out all shows, and go back to Nickelodeon 24/7 since Nick at Nite first existed in 1985.
mets82 06-03-2015, 04:42 PM There needs to be a complete overhaul ASAP. I would start fresh. I'd actually get rid of all the show they have now. I mean a show like Friends and even Full House are expendable.
Tubehead 06-03-2015, 07:03 PM I always wanted nick at nite to show :

tenter 06-09-2015, 11:30 AM Tues Jun 16 8PM: Nick News special: The Electronic Leash: Safety vs Privacy
Sun Jun 21 8PM-11PM Full House will have Father's Day stunt themed episodes
mets82 06-12-2015, 05:42 PM Whats the Nick News special going to be about?
tenter 06-12-2015, 06:40 PM Whats the Nick News special going to be about?
http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/Nick-News-to-Air-Kinda-Ellerbees-ELECTRONIC-LEASH-SAFETY-V-PRIVACY-616-20150612
There's some more info about Nick News for Safety vs Privacy. I attached the link though. It's only about 23 min Nick News without the commercials. I think the logo would be nick at nite in really really small font, just like how AwesomenessTV first started back in 2013 when aired at 8PM on a Monday.
tenter 06-18-2015, 09:45 AM Most people would be very happy to find out that starting Mon Jun 29/Tues Jun 30, How I Met Your Mother would finally be off Nick at Nite lineup. It will then move to TVLand at that day based on the blog.
Everybody Loves Raymond is returning to Nick at Nite after few weeks off the air and to take How I Met Your Mother's slot 2:36AM and 3:12AM starting Mon Jun 29/Tues Jun 30.
Since Nickelodeon tomorrow Jun 19 will premiere original movie One Crazy Cruise at 8PM until 9:30PM, it will overlap Nick at Nite airtimes, only leaves with one Full House at 9:30PM slot
As for Nick at Nite 30th anniversary, unfortunately no news has been made.
icecream 06-18-2015, 12:36 PM Most people would be very happy to find out that starting Mon Jun 29/Tues Jun 30, How I Met Your Mother would finally be off Nick at Nite lineup. It will then move to TVLand at that day based on the blog.I think moving to TVLand will actually be worse. At least on Nick at Nite HIMYM was buried at 2:30AM, it will get a key slot leading off primetime on TVLand. Not to mention How I Met Your Mother will be replacing Gilligan's Island there, a complete slap in the face to all classics fans.
mets82 06-18-2015, 05:17 PM I still say gut the entire Nick at Nite schedule. Put movies or something on and come back in a few weeks refreshed and with a better lineup. Put some actual thought into it. Yeah, I know it wont happen.
tenter 06-23-2015, 01:13 AM -Sun Jun 28 8PM, Nick/Nick at Nite encores Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules 8PM-10PM
-Sun Jul 5 8PM-10PM Legally Blonde. Rugrats Go Wild supposed to schedule has been pulled.
tenter 06-30-2015, 04:19 PM With Everybody Loves Raymond's return to Nick at Nite, unfortunately it would be shown on weekdays late night. Just like How I Met Your Mother had before.
I wish Everybody Loves Raymond should remove the Nick at Nite lineup because reduced airings aren't helping and it's already airing on TVLand that scored good ratings like 1 mil viewers or little lower.
Overall ratings for Nick at Nite week still abmyssal:
week prime total
6/22/15 748 766
6/15/15 744 778
6/8/15 808 808
Don't know how primetime could be a fix, maybe remove Fresh Prince off the primetime and add more Full House on weekdays (with addition of weekends).
http://www.people.com/article/nick-at-night-premiere-30th-anniversary
Here's the link for Nick at Nite's 30th anniversary. Although I believe it's understandable sad that Nick at Nite won't show classics anymore..
Also George Lopez this week no longer airing on CMT network anymore which is strange, they were brought to CMT sometime in March. I wonder how long George Lopez could stay on Nick at Nite? When is the expiration date for George Lopez to run on Nick at Nite?

Here's a link thread you can post if you want for your suggestions on Nick at Nite what sitcoms to add in 2015.
http://sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=328303&page=2&highlight=nick+nite
tenter 07-02-2015, 10:10 AM Looks like in order of showing episodes, it's also had shown valentine day episodes as well as superbowl or holiday episodes except thanksgiving and christmas of nick at nite like george lopez, full house, etc.
tenter 07-06-2015, 09:52 PM Some updates:
I'm guessing this is a schedule error, but starting Wed Jul 15 10PM, The Jim Gaffigan Show (series premiere airing TVLand) and 10:30PM Impastor (another TVLand series premiere) will be simulcasting airing on Nick at Nite (just like Younger episodes did back in late March to mid June).
With that change, it's unclear whether these shows would air every Wednesdays 10PM would also air on Nick at Nite. Jim Gaffigan Show has 10 episodes, while Impastor has 11 episodes.
Thurs Jul 16 8PM-10pm (supposed to be 90 min, but it's 120 min due to commercials..) will have Kids Choice Sports 2015 will be live on Nickelodeon (simulcasting Nicktoons, NickJr, Teennick). Kids Choice Sports will encore at 10PM-11:36PM. Friends 4 airings will air from 11:36PM-2AM. Fresh Prince 2 airings 2AM-3:12AM. Which leaves with only one Everybody Loves Raymond airing.
Fri Jul 17, Kids Choice Sports will encore at 8PM-9:30PM, which leaves with one Full House airing at 9:30PM.
TVFactFan 07-07-2015, 01:08 AM Wish N@N close the gap between Fresh Prince and George Lopez during the week too and not just the weekends
But ELR is an improvement over How I met your mother
tenter 07-11-2015, 12:33 PM On Fri Jul 24, 8PM-10PM Nickelodeon will premiere the movie A Cinderella Story (2004). This overlaps Nick at Nite times 9PM, so...
TVFactFan 07-12-2015, 12:26 AM good to see How I met your Mother gone from the lineup during the week
Spark Of Spirit 07-14-2015, 11:45 PM A line up I would be fine with:
Full House
Family Matters
Boy Meets World
Step By Step
Of course since BMW ain't gonna happen, put on Perfect Strangers or Fresh Prince instead.
I'm pretty sure everyone knows where I went with that line up.

Family Matters
Boy Meets World

Full House and Fresh Prince is already currently running on Nick at Nite.
Spark Of Spirit 07-15-2015, 12:35 AM Full House and Fresh Prince is already currently running on Nick at Nite.Yep, I would keep them both.
tenter 07-15-2015, 12:33 PM Nick@Nite would need to change the logo color back to blue since See Dad Run and Instant Mom are no longer airing that network. They need complete overhaul updates. Facebook nick at nite hasn't updated in 2 years and neither is twitter. Even nickatnite.com doesn't update. It still has How I Met Your Mother site even though it's not airing anymore. They also have some old nickatnite videos that exist but not running: How I Met Your Mother clips, See Dad Run season 1 clips, Brady Bunch promo on Nick at Nite, Family Brainsurge. At least Hollywood Heights, Family Matters, The Nanny, Married with Children and some older shows slowly being removed from videos. It did have some effort removing older videos no longer exist on Nick at Nite.
Everybody Loves Raymond has a promo but not clips. Full House clips aren't even on nick at nite page, it redirects to teennick.com. Fresh Prince has few video clips (just google it) can't find the link on nickatnite page for Fresh Prince.
mets82 07-16-2015, 05:33 PM Thats just pathetic. Arent Nick at Nite ashamed of themselves?
tenter 07-16-2015, 05:51 PM They should be.
Jim Gaffigan Show and Impastor was simulcasting Nick at Nite and first airing on TVLand at 10PM and 10:30PM respectively started last night. These series are actually TVLand originals.
Full House at 9:30PM were scoring 1.2 mil viewers
Ratings aired on Nick at Nite:
10PM Jim Gaffigan Show - 0.731
10:30PM Impastor - 0.534 (drop from lead-in)
TVLand:
Jim Gaffigan Show - 0.850
Impastor - 0.619
So TVLand ratings score much higher than Nick at Nite's. Many viewers were upset of simulcasting same TV show airing on TVLand at same time, that's why ratings are dropping.
Why does Nick at Nite continue with simulcasting from TVLand?
mets82, I agree with you, they need some overhaul and rebranding.
tenter 07-20-2015, 01:14 PM More news:
-Today (Mon Jul 20) 8PM-9PM new Talia in the Kitchen
-Fri Jul 24 8PM-10PM Nickelodeon premieres the movie A Cinderella Story (2004)
-Thurs Jul 30 8PM-9pm season finale of new Talia in the Kitchen
Nickelodeon had a one month event July of premieres airing season 4 currently now last season of Every Witch Way regularly airing at 7PM and Talia in the Kitchen was Nickelodeon new series airing at 7:30PM after Every Witch Way. Both have started airing weekdays started Mon July 6. There were some few exceptions for airing. Thurs July 16 has no new episodes scheduled because of Kids Choice Sports event. To make up for missing airing new episodes. Mon Jul 20 7PM will have Every Witch Way, one hour special, and this shifts Talia in the Kitchen one hour special at 8PM. One hour equals two episodes together. Thurs July 30 will be the finales for Every Witch Way and Talia in the Kitchen, so 7PM has Every Witch Way one hour finale, and 8PM hour new Talia season finale; not half hour
Every Witch Way ends after season 4. Talia in the Kitchen will finish after season 1. No word on renewal yet.
EDIT: On last Wed Jul 22, Nick has made changes for july 27 week. Mon Jul 27 was supposed to be 7pm Every Witch way season 4 recap, and followed by new regular episode, and 8pm hour is Talia, but Nick has pulled the recap special and placed it online instead. So July 27 7pm is regular every witch way, 7:30pm new Talia. 8pm is back to nick at nite schedule.
Thursday July 30 7pm hour as scheduled for series finale Every Witch Way, 8pm hour gets new season finale Talia. So nick at nite starts at 9pm.
After July schedule, it returns to normal unless any movie airing. The Jim Gaffigan Show and Impastor continues to simulcast Nick at Nite, NickMom and airing on TVLand every Wednesdays at 10PM. I think they should finish by Wed Sept 16 maybe one hour of Jim Gaffigan Show finale, and new Impastor finale. Again Nick at Nite may need overhaul in fall if they are interested in simulcasting.
TVFactFan 07-21-2015, 12:22 AM Why the hell does N@N air the same eps of Fresh Prince they aired on Saturday on Sunday Night?
Now I know it's no point in watching on saturday night
tenter 07-22-2015, 09:54 AM Why the hell does N@N air the same eps of Fresh Prince they aired on Saturday on Sunday Night?
Now I know it's no point in watching on saturday night
Fresh Prince wasn't airing on Sat and Sun. 10pm! Stupid bada $$ Full House is. Fresh Prince got moved to late night hours.
I hate how Full House gets more exposure on primetime.
tenter 07-27-2015, 07:26 PM Monday July 27 back to nick at nite regular 8pm schedule.
Thursday July 30 8pm hour has new season finale of Talia, so nick at nite starts at 9pm.

No one to watch Full House
tenter 07-31-2015, 02:10 PM Tues Aug 4 8PM: Nick News: School Crime and Too Much Punishment
And also schedule zap2it on Nick@Nite on August no longer listing Jim Gafigan Show and Impastor on Wednesdays. Maybe they realized the simulcasting TVLand originals have hurt the ratings even more and decide to leave it alone. TVLand will still air those even though these ratings did better than Nick at Nite. Fresh Prince will continue 10PM as it should be.
Sun Aug 2, 7pm-9pm has SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
Fri Jul 31 (today) Rugrats Go Wild! was supposed to schedule at 8pm tonight, but got pulled again, so it's regular schedule again
tenter 08-05-2015, 09:52 AM Arrgh! Last minute schedule change again. Impastor and Jim Gafigan Show is back to simulcasting Nick at Nite starting tonight every Wednesdays 10PM. These primetime ratings would drop harder than ever.
Sun Aug 16 8PM has Legally Blonde (the movie rating last July scored dismal 0.8 total viewers) airing again (the second airing ratings scored 0.9 total viewers)
Sun Aug 22 8PM Nick News: Before I Go: Living With Dying (#159)
Friends on Nick@Nite is running out of order again especially on 12:12AM.
Nick@Nite made a bad habit of airing promos from other networks including CMT Gainsville, King of Tut, USA Graceland, etc.. occasionally and that's what makes the ratings to go down further and Nick@Nite doesn't even seem to care.
tenter 08-21-2015, 07:10 PM Based on nickandmore's tweet: https://twitter.com/nickandmore/status/634855714641592321
Nickelodeon is FINALLY taking back the 8PM-9PM starting Mon 8/31. The first time in awhile since 2009 overall schedule when Malcolm in the Middle joined the network in July 2009 at 8PM. No info yet about more Nick at Nite fall schedule...
