The schedule has been nothing (https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/teennick-general-discussion.5554531/post-87894829) but Henry Danger (https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/teennick-general-discussion.5554531/post-87892084) and America's Funniest Home Videos (https://animesuperhero.com/forums/threads/teennick-general-discussion.5554531/post-87892733) the past two months (https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/teennick-called-out-on-twitter-for-its-horrible-variety-literally-playing-henry-danger-24-7.5014758/).

Network Decay / Total Abandonment (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NetworkDecay/TotalAbandonment)

TeenNick, which took its name from the TEENick block, was intended to broadcast reruns of live-action Nick shows (mainly the ones that originated on the TEENick block) as well as original shows like The Nightlife and TeenNick Top 10. It also became widely known for the NickRewind (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/NickRewind) block debuting in 2011, serving as a showcase for classic Nickelodeon series. However, as its original content drew in less and less ratings (mainly due to the network continually screwing them over (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScrewedByTheNetwork)), TeenNick phased them out, with the network slowly becoming little more than "Nick Rewind surrounded by endless reruns of Nick kidcoms", alongside the occasional rerun or simulcast of new, non-live-action Nickelodeon series. It's gotten to the point where more than a few have speculated that Nick Rewind is the only reason the network exists, seeing as it didn't gain an HD version until 2016, which even then is limited to just IPTV providers and some internet services. With NickRewind's eventual closure in 2022 (see below), the future of the channel seems to be destined for endless marathons and reruns of Nickelodeon's sitcoms; the channel infamously spent August and September endlessly airing Henry Danger (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/HenryDanger), despite its creator (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/DanSchneider) coming under heavy scrutiny at the time.
