What are some problems you have with Nick@Nite? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Michael cole · 10-25-2015, 06:12 AM

1- Friends

2. Too many George Lopez showings. 6 times a night? Way to much.

3. No diversity. Every single night, Nick@ Nite consists of these 3 shows: Friends, The Fresh Prince Of Belle-Air, and George Lopez. Could use more diversity

4. Taking off Family Matters And Hangin With Mr.Cooper, for More George Lopez (ick)

So there's my little rant about what's wrong with Nick@Nite

No problems here--I haven't watched it since 1996

So there's my little rant about what's wrong with Nick@Nite

YOU forgot to include Full House in this list!

Correction: George Lopez shows 7 times per night.

Here's my rant:
1) Off the clock airings are annoying.
2) Full House has been staying on primetime for so long since fall 2012, though Nickelodeon this fall gained 8PM hour. It really needs to go and get replaced by newer show or Nickelodeon live action, maybe more iCarly.
3) 6AM and 6:30AM STILL has Nick at Nite. It really needs to close up and go back to Nickelodeon or Paid Programming
4) Hangin with Mr. Cooper still has some holiday episodes like Valentine's Day/Christmas/and some Halloween episodes to air on Nick at Nite, but never came back last year fall when acquired Jan 2014-Sept 2014.
5) Original Programming Nick at Nite isn't producing anymore which is sad. Instant Mom has been moved to TVLand to burn new episodes until Dec 2014
6) When is See Dad Run 7 remaining episodes will air?? They haven't been on the air since Dec 2014 on Nick at Nite and NOW NickMom is gone.
7) TVLand airing premieres on Nick at Nite for simulcasting is WAY annoying ever since Viacom realignment structure earlier this year. TVLand originals such as Younger, Impastor, Jim Gafigan Show, Teachers (coming in January).
8) Ratings for Nick at Nite last year had averaged 700,000 viewers, but this year it slowly improved to 800,000 viewers with removal of How I Met Your Mother and Everybody Loves Raymond, but it's still not enough to bring back viewers.
9) Even though facebook and social media updates, but these are meaningless as it only talks about each show like Friends, George Lopez, Full House, and Fresh Prince.
10) The advertisements and promos are still lacking, like not even promoting Halloween special this year (last year you network promoted Halloween or Christmas/holidays or something) but this time nothing.
11) It fails to update the network logo or bumpers/banners. Since Nickelodeon originals no longer produced, logo bug should have changed back to blue/orange instead of plain orange.
12) The sitcomsonline blog doesn't seem to care about Nick at Nite as it doesn't announce any schedule updates or changes when it comes to last minute change

What are some problems you have with Nick@Nite?

I have zero problems with TVLand and the numerous Nick@Nite channels because I stopped watching them years ago. Why? They changed and nothing on now is worth my time.

Tubehead · 10-25-2015, 09:52 PM

You know that How I Met Your Mother and Everybody Loves Raymond is not airing on Nick at Nite anymore though. There are only 4 shows airing over and over which is tiring and annoying.

No offense to you, but have you checked your grammar for spelling errors? I thought the term "quite" you often watch Nick at Nite which is confusing.

Tenter, I agree. Nick at Nite is supposed to be such a huge channel, or at least it was, and now its crap. I cant say anything else because Tenter said it so well. I will say that I dont think the SO blog has anything to do with it. I mean if Nick at Nite cant updated their webpages and news, how can SO can?

Well I actually mentioning about nick at nite network itself. Though I agree that it's not blog's fault that nick at nite didn't give out the news to blog to update.

While Nick at Nite is a shadow of its former greatness one thing it still does right is not airing any paid programming. This network has never aired infomercials nor should it start. And even without the 6AM hour Nickelodeon still gets the majority of the day. We have more than enough networks aimed at preschoolers, Nick at Nite can stay in the 6AM hour.

Tubehead · 10-27-2015, 01:10 AM

sorry im not too good at spelling!! im glade we got me tv and now we got another channel called Annette TV!! they have more variety then nick at nite & tv land put together!! i wish nick at nite would have shown some of the 1990s shows like saved by the bell califon dreams mama's family step by step or boy meets world!!

I think there used to be informercials ran from 1987 to 1998 according to wikipedia, (don't know which time, but it's in overnight slots).

TeenNick starts to bring back variety by returning shows that started today, why doesn't Nick at Nite do that? It should do those soon..

tenter · 10-31-2015, 11:02 PM

One thing I forgot to add though, why do sometimes nick at nite air other viacom network promos such as tv land originals, comedy network shows, spike, etc. Just tonight they were showing stupid A$$ promo of Kellie pickler whatever show on CMT. I hate this ****!!

benjamoon · 11-01-2015, 11:51 PM

I stopped watching Nick at Nite regularly in the early 2000s and I haven't even watched it occasionally since 2007-ish. Of course it's become somewhat obsolete with DVDs, Netflix, Hulu, etc.

Even given that, it's also not nearly as clever or creative as it was in the 1980s and 1990s when they had some truly creative ideas that made classic TV viewing an event. Things like Block Party Summer, the Classic TV Countdown, Very Very Nick at Nite, the clever marathons. They had good people running things back then but those days are long gone.

mets82 · 11-02-2015, 02:59 PM

Agreed. Now the people in charge just throw the shows on because they need too. They could care less about the tv viewer.
