I personally don't have much input for this article, except to revert vandalism and occasionally fix spelling. (My interest is mostly in what was on Nick in 1985-1986.) Nevertheless, it's pretty clear from the nature of the vandalism (usually anti-Nick statements, rudely worded), and comments on the

I'd love it to be added that Nick pretty much hates the shows it makes. Invader Zim has a cult following and it got canceled. Fairly Odd

It might have been as simple as collecting a library of worn cartoons and outdated kids' shows. But the people at Warner Cable Corp. decided to break new ground with "Nickelodeon," an enterprise they could call 'the first all-day, every day, something-for-every-kid programming package ever offered

This article described Nick Too as "Nick on a three hour delay -- its west coast feed repackaged for east coast viewers", and that doesn't make sense to me. Shouldn't it be the other way around? It's essentially the EAST coast feed delayed by three hours for WEST coast audiences. I changed this

I deleted the "New Era" Critisms section for several reasons. First off, it looks to be written by a 4th grader. Secondly, most every criticism mentioned goes without any sort of example, with the next sentence making an entirely different criticism. Lastly, there are no sources. So overall, it

The daily schedule includes "Pinwheel" for pre-schoolers, "Video Comic Books," starring heroes like Green
Lantern and Space Ranger, "Nickel Flicks," featuring adventure serials from the 1930s and '40s, "By the Way," for kids 7-12, and "America Goes Bananaz" for teen-agers.
422:
I just did a search and found an old article from July, 16 1979 which talks about
Nickelodeon, and does not refer to it as the Pinwheel Network. They obviously were using the name Nickelodeon before 1981. I can post the full article if interested, but here's an excerpt:

Nickelodeon has received a decent amount of criticism more recently from its older viewers. The current shows that
Nickelodeon runs are much different in style than their previous shows and many of their more recently added shows, such as

That's because there ARE so many shows. To list them all would take a full page. There are KEY shows that help to describe Nick and its tastes and its history, and those are what get listed. If you want to see the list, go here:
413:
I've seen references to "Nickelodeon" in newspaper articles from before 1981 (for example "Children's
Programming Without Commercials" in the New York Times 3/4/79) so I think we need to clarify when the name change occured.

Going through the
Knowledge pages for several other cable channels, it doesn't appear that the TV Network infobox Ddespie tried to implement is in widespread use (or that it's even recognized -- I didn't see it listed at

I disgree. In either case, we're getting hung up over nothing. My main point, really, is that this article talks about nothing but cartoons. Nickelodeon was and still is, I believe, so much more than that.
440:"We were planning on a million contracted viewers by the end of the year," says John A. Lack, Warner Cable's vice president for programming and marketing, "and it looks like we'll have two million by then."
292:
Yeah, I guess that's a big enough page to create. But you'd have to do your research. Don't just suggest a topic. Help out w/ it! But you know, that sounds like a really good topic. Oh, and sign yer posts.
196:
Either way, I think this type of infobox has merit and should be allowed to stay, as they can provide a quick overview or reference in a standard format without a reader having to skim through the article.
609:
You can't blame obesity on Nickelodeon anymore than you can blame it on Cartoon Network, the Disney Channel, or any other television station. Parents just like to put blame of their mistakes on others.
97:. Does anyone remember this program? I beleive it was on in the mid 1980s. The teenage girls in it were pretty hot, which ios probably why I remember it so well!Ā ;-) Any info on this show? Thanks -

I would also like creating a new article "Nickeodeon (Music automat)" or (Music machine), but the above info is quite sparse. Does anyone have more infos or a picture / drawing of such a machine?

By "well volunteered" I meant by *you*. I know nothing about Nick Japan. It's not common curtosy to demand articles on a wiki: why not start it yourself, or request it in the usual way?

Nickelodeon is a hypocrite, they talk constantly about their "Let's Just Play" program and healthyness, but 96% of their commercials are for video games and junk food. For shame.

I seem to remeber that Nick had something called Big Help in the 90's. It promoted cleaning the enviroment. Does anyone else remeber this? If so I think it should be added.

338:
Why did Nick offer trips to Universal Studios Florida as grand prizes on their game shows? They had to get there in order to be on the show. That doesn't make sense.
619:
I'm not saying that's my opinion; I'm saying that's an opinion that needs to be addressed. I'm just trying to think of ways to make this a more useful article. --

I bolded some things that should've been taken out, but why the whole section? Blanking sections without discussing it on the talk page is considered vandalism.

ironically, you have just created a criticism section. Yeah, if you know of some substantiated criticism, there probably should be such a section.
776:
I wrote all that and I'll admit it is all a bit POV, but there is a lot of concensus to the last part if you read many Wiki pages of nick shows.
553:
Now all nick really cares about is cartoons, mostly of which they hate. There is only a couple of live action shows on per day on the weekdays!
