NickToons (TV network, pre-2014)

NickToons (formerly NickToons TV and NickToons Network) is an American digital cable and satellite television network owned by Nickelodeon Channels Group, a unit of Paramount Media Networks division of Paramount Global. It is a sister service of the Nickelodeon cable channel.

Why It Used to Be the Animation Capital of the World

 * 1) The network broadcasted Nickelodeon's cartoon series (known collectively as Nicktoons) from classic made in the past 10 years or less like Doug, Rugrats, and The Ren and Stimpy Show 24 hours a day to modern shows like SpongeBob SquarePants. The network also broadcasted original cartoon series and foreign animation from other Nickelodeon networks.
 * 2) The theme song, "Not Just Cartoons, We're Nicktoons!", was really catchy.
 * 3) It can be a nostalgic channel for old fans to enjoy and watch.
 * 4) During 2006, Nicktoons started producing their first original series, Kappa Mikey, and later shows like Making Fiends and Random! Cartoons. The logo was also changed to a globe with the familiar Nickelodeon "Splat", and adapted a Hollywood-esque theme with a new campaign slogan called "Animation Capital of the World" (when it was rebranded as Nicktoons Network).
 * 5) It showed acquired shows like Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, Tiny Toon Adventures, Yakkity Yak, Pelswick, The Secret Show, mh:terribletvshows:Wayside, Edgar & Ellen, Three Delivery and some anime shows like Dragon Ball Z Kai, Digimon Adventure, and Yu-Gi-Oh!.
 * 6) Even when the logo changed in 2009, they still aired some of the classic and modern Nicktoons, both reruns and new episodes.
 * 7) The website was really fun to play games and watch videos on.
 * 8) Even if the channel has gone downhill since 2014, they occasionally air old shows on holidays like Christmas, such as Catscratch and The X's.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The channel went downhill starting in 2014, when it turned into a rerun farm.
 * 2) *It also started to air some terrible live-action shows in 2009 and put most of the Nicktoons in graveyard slots, which is ironic since NickToons is supposed to be a cartoon network and not both a cartoon network and a live-action show network.
 * 3) Many "failed" shows that originated on the main Nickelodeon network have had new episodes premiere on the network. This includes some shows like The Fairly OddParents, My Life as a Teenage Robot, El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, As Told By Ginger, Invader Zim, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), T.U.F.F. Puppy, Back at the Barnyard, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, It's Pony, and even some bad or mediocre shows like mh:terribletvshows:Fanboy & Chum Chum, mh:terribletvshows:Planet Sheen, mh:terribletvshows:The Mighty B!, mh:terribletvshows:Breadwinners, mh:terribletvshows:Bunsen Is a Beast, mh:terribletvshows:Wayside, and mh:terribletvshows:Pig Goat Banana Cricket.
 * 4) *Worst of all, this channel is (mostly) now used as a graveyard for cartoons from Nickelodeon that didn’t get as many viewers to the point the cartoon would be lead to air a few new episodes before getting cancelled altogether. That really shows Nickelodeon is so perfectionistic about TV ratings nowadays.
 * 5) The website itself was shutdown around mid-2015 or early 2016 for no reason and was transferred to Nick.com until that website completely shutdown in November 2018 because of Nickelodeon's idiotic agenda.
 * 6) The infamous Summer July 2014 block.
