A great channel until it all went downhill.
Now all they have is content geared towards the teen crowd, with shows such as Zoey 101 and *shudder* The Naked Brothers Band, which shows up as "Naked Brothers" on my TV guide.

Get the Nickelodeon mug.Nickelodeon used to be cool with Rocko's modern life, Angry Beavers, Hey Arnold, Aaah Real Monsters, and Are You Afraid Of the Dark, and the OLD version of Rugrats. But now they are just like everybody else, dumming their shows down to incredibly stupid and unentertaining plots. Nobody with a good sense of humor watches "Zoey 101" or "Unfabulous." COME ON, NICKELODEN! They can't even ACT! Bring us back the awesome cartoons!
Nickelodeon is really pissing me off.

Get the Nickelodeon mug.An Uber-retarded network that only exists to cancell its last few entertaining shows, and blatatntly mock animation.

Get the Nickelodeon mug.Used to be a great kid's channel right up until the mid 1990s. After that, I don't even want to mention it at all because it's chock full of poorly-drawn, vomit-inducing "cartoons" with no plot, a bastardization of Ren and Stimpy, some crappy Disney-like sitcoms, and it's becoming more and more like MTV (since it's owned by the same corporation that owns MTV anyway).

Get the Nickelodeon mug.1) A popular children's television station, which became so in the 1990's with shows such as, but not limited to, "Ren and Stimpy," "Salute Your Shorts!," "Rocko's Modern Life," and "All That!". The station has since, however, decreased in popularity with its original viewers due to the cancellation of many of these shows.
2) An early motion-picture viewing "theatre," into which one would admit a nickel (hence the name) and be able to look into the invention and view a film.

I turned on the TV to find the station tuned to Nickelodeon.
He inserted five cents into the nickelodeon and watched a movie.

Get the Nickelodeon mug.A kids television channel that debuted in the 80s, hit it's prime in the 90s and then lost it completely.
The labelling of Nickelodeon as a kids channel is debateable because some of their best jokes and shows (before they went downhill) had enough depth to appeal to adults. Most notably, shows like Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life and the late Invader Zim were filled to the brim with quirky innuendo, jokes and/or references that will likely fly straight over a younger child's head.
Since 2000, quality has been declining, and as of 2008 they have officially hit rock bottom, essentially airing five or six substandard shows back-to-back, occasionally (though this may not still be the case) showing some old programming during school hours so that older fans (now probably having left school) can still find mild enjoyment in the channel.
It is hoped by many that Viacom is simply going through a rough time and will pick up quality eventually, but as quality continues to decline, most older fans are giving up hope (which only makes sense given that it is a childrens channel).
