Patrick NotStar Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Article on Cartoon Brew: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/tv/c-h-greenblatt-not-thrilled-with-nicks-treatment-of-harvey-beaks-116928.html Apparently, they've canceled new episodes of Harvey Beaks that were supposed to air in the summer and moved them to September. Found this interesting: "Everyone remain calm. We’re not off the air. And it’s not just us getting this treatment. They stopped all premieres (animation and live action) except Pig, Goat, Banana, Cricket for the summer. Hopefully they’ll re-run the show so folks can become more aware of it in the meantime. We should be back with a big push come late summer/early fall." Does this mean those 20 new SpongeBob episodes we were apparently supposed to get this summer aren't coming till later in the year?

Jjs Goodman Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yeah, I pretty much saw it coming. Sherm said they weren't even finished anywhere near 20 episodes from the sounds of it anyways, so I'd rather them take their time on the episodes instead of rushing them. Still, it's honestly not a surprise anymore that Nick is still doing bad in ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpongeOddFan Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 so are we having another rating in decline 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1 Posted July 31, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2015 Nick is honestly in a huge rut right now. New episodes getting less than one million in the ratings is honestly shocking to me. At least for the past couple years, ratings only dived to the point where they were still in the 1 millions. Now, it's barely or not even there. I'm not sure what the demo ratings that Nick target are for the Nicktoons, but it can't be any better if the total viewer ratings are piss poor. Unfortunately, I can honestly see the Nickelodeon empire collapsing within the next few years if conditions don't improve. Outside of SpongeBob and TMNT, they aren't making much, if any, money off of any of their other programs, when in reality, this should not be the case. While I can certainly see why Nickelodeon would blame streaming (Netflix in particular) for their ratings woes, that's not their only problem. If you want a show to be successful, you need to promote it and promote it well. If you continue to promote things constantly, it gets stuck in your head. Take CN's We Bare Bears for example, that was promoted to death, and it worked! My six year old sister was definitely aware that it was premiering on July 27th, where as she had no knowledge of Harvey Beaks and Sanjay and Craig's new episodes on Saturdays. Overall, Nick needs to take a nod to how their competitors promote their new content, or otherwise they're going to be left in the dust. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeye Q. Krabs Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Someone should really look at what's going on with Nick and their company books. I don't think they are going to go bankrupt but I surmise that either Viacom will have to really revamp Nickelodeon's format or just sell the whole network off. I feel that the former option is still more likely once they get new management in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigOcean Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Meh...Not very Suprised IMO, but at least they are still airing new Gravity Falls, We Bare Bears, and SU I'm fine for now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Sponge Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 This is just dumb and unsurprising. Yet, I feel Nick has been making dumb moves since God knows when, from turning the Nicktoons channel into wasteland for Nicktoons that the core channel refuses to finish to cashing in stuff off the internet. Other than that, I feel that Nick still needs a new president. There must be something they can do to step up their game and that's the first thing to come out of my mind. Now, in behalf of these delays, I'll wait for when Nickelodeon starts giving out new episodes of Spongebob again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Harvey Beaks aired it's some of episodes in Spring. I'm pretty sure same thing will happen to PGBC in Fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hilaryfan80 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I remember the days when Nickelodeon took the summer time seriously and did a bunch of new episodes and promotions because they knew kids would be watching more during the summer. Not premiering any new episodes is a huge waste of opportunity since kids are more likely to be able to watch the new episodes. Heck, there was the U-Pick Live stuff 10 years ago that got me excited for Nickelodeon and everything (green team ftw). At this rate, Nickelodeon is going to fail. They're losing interest to streaming services like Netflix because they're not keeping up with their audiences. Either they need to go back to what they were doing 15 years ago (and promoting stuff that actually gets kids excited to watch their network), or give up and move to a streaming model that allows anyone to stream stuff like SpongeBob episodes with some ads for a fee (a service that's comparable to Hulu Plus). They're adults here - they should know by now that cable is a dying business, and they will become yesterday's news if they don't keep up with the times.
