Thread Title: New Nicktoons UK Schedule Changes - Monster Block Incoming!

—

SpongeBobFan44: Hey everyone, have you seen the latest Nicktoons UK schedule? Looks like Bunsen is a Beast, Danny Phantom, and Avatar have been replaced. Now there’s a whole Monster Block with Monster High, AAHH! Real Monsters, and Monster Allergy. What’s up with that?

—

LoudHouseLover21: Yeah, I noticed that too! I’m kinda bummed about Danny Phantom and Avatar being replaced, those were my go-to shows after school. The Monster Block sounds interesting though, haven’t seen Monster Allergy in ages. But I’ll miss my daily Avatar fix for sure.

—

PokeMaster98: Did anyone catch that Pokemon Advanced is replacing XYZ next week? They keep switching these up. I was really getting into the XYZ series. Hopefully, Advanced will be just as good. At least the SpongeBob and Loud House mix is still the same.

—

MonsterManiax: Totally psyched for the Monster Block! AAHH! Real Monsters is a classic, and I’ve been a Monster High fan for years. It’s a nice switch-up, but I do get why some might miss the old lineup. Variety is the spice of life, though, right?

—

NickNostalgia: Can’t believe they’re sidelining Danny Phantom and Avatar. Those are some seriously iconic shows. The Monster Block could be cool for a bit, but I hope they bring back the classics soon. Also, mixing in more Pokémon never hurts, but the constant series switching is a bit much.

—

AvatarAangFan: This is really disappointing. Replacing Avatar? That show has such a strong fan base and it’s timeless. I understand trying out new themes like the Monster Block, but Avatar should be a staple! Guess it’s time to dust off the old DVDs.

—

GhoulGirl: Honestly, I’m here for the Monster Block! It’s perfect for the Halloween season if they decide to keep it around for a bit. Plus, Monster High has a lot of fans that will be thrilled. Monster Allergy is an underrated gem too. Still, the absence of Danny Phantom seems like a missed opportunity during a monster-themed block.

—

Pikachu4Ever: Welp, there goes my daily XYZ binge. Pokemon Advanced is okay, but XYZ had some epic battles. Hope Advanced has some good stuff too. At least SpongeBob and The Loud House are untouched. They kinda act as the backbone for Nicktoons’ schedule anyway.

—

DannyPhanatic: Removing Danny Phantom just when I thought there was a resurgence in interest… Not cool, Nicktoons UK, not cool. He’s practically a monster-fighting hero himself. Would’ve fit right in with the block. Guess I’ll have to stick to fan communities for my ghost boy fix.

—

RealMonstersFan: Finally, AAHH! Real Monsters is getting the love it deserves! That show was way ahead of its time. Sad to see some favorites go, but this does shake things up. Maybe it’ll introduce these classics to a new audience. Can’t wait to see Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm back on my screen!

—

Thread Moderator: Thanks for all your insights, everyone! It’s clear there are mixed feelings about the schedule change. For those missing the old shows, remember, schedules often rotate, so they might be back sooner than you think. For now, why not give the new Monster Block a chance? You might find a new favorite!

Thread Title: Grizzly Tales Slotted Down? My Dad the Rockstar Takes Over!

—

TalesOfTerror: Did anyone else notice Grizzly Tales got slashed in half on the late-night roster? I thought it was a solid choice for those looking to enjoy something a bit different. Now it’s just to fill those independent quotas since it’s from Honeycomb Animation and aired on CITV. Replaced by My Dad the Rockstar? Was expecting more Pokémon or even Monster Allergy to take its place. Thoughts?

—

RockstarRiffs: Honestly didn’t expect My Dad the Rockstar to make a comeback, especially not at the expense of Grizzly Tales. I’ve got nothing against it, but the shift is…unexpected. Thought they’d double down on Pokémon or something more in line with current trends.

—

AnimationAdvocate: It’s a shame to see Grizzly Tales pushed back. I get the vibe they’re only keeping it to meet quotas, which feels a tad disrespectful to the show. As for My Dad the Rockstar, it’s an interesting choice. Maybe it’s a play for nostalgia?

—

QuotaConundrum: Let’s face facts, folks. Filling quotas is a big part of scheduling decisions, and Grizzly Tales fits that niche for them. My Dad the Rockstar coming in might just be their way of shaking things up. Perhaps it tested well in groups we’re not aware of?

—

LateNightLurker: Grizzly Tales was my late-night guilty pleasure! ☹️ The eerie vibe was perfect right before bed. My Dad the Rockstar is okay, but it doesn’t hit the same spot. Seems like a weird choice to replace something so unique.

—

NostalgiaKnight: Wait, people are upset about My Dad the Rockstar? I loved that show! Sure, it’s sad about Grizzly Tales, but isn’t variety the spice of life? Maybe they’re just trying to appeal to a broader audience at the late-night slot.

—

MonsterAllergyFan: Really thought they’d pick Monster Allergy to replace it, considering the Monster Block and all. Strange decision. My Dad the Rockstar has its charm, but feels off for the late-night vibe Grizzly Tales offered.

—

GrizzlyGuru: Disappointed but not surprised. Grizzly Tales always felt like a show that was underappreciated, thrown in to check a box rather than celebrated for its storytelling. Here’s hoping it finds its way back to a more prominent slot. As for My Dad the Rockstar, might give it a shot; who knows? It could grow on me.

—

RockRevival: TBH, My Dad the Rockstar returning is a win for me. I miss shows that aren’t afraid to be a little weird and wild. This might not be the popular opinion, but let’s give it a chance before we write it off completely for not being Pokémon or Monster Allergy.

—

Thread Moderator: This thread is lively! Good to see so many passionate opinions. Remember, the TV landscape is always changing, and who knows what the future holds? Maybe Grizzly Tales will get more slots back or My Dad the Rockstar will become the next big hit. Keep the discussions respectful and keep sharing your thoughts!

Write a forum convo where MA is their 3rd biggest acquired show, 2nd is The Garfield Show, 1 is Pokemon of course, They have been trying multiple tactics to increase its popularity, including frequently pairing it up with other monster related shows (even bringing back ARM)
Thread Title: MA Trying to Claw Its Way Up - Will Teaming Up with Other Monsters Do the Trick?

—

MonsterMash45: So, it looks like Monster Allergy (MA) is now officially the 3rd biggest acquired show on the network, just trailing behind The Garfield Show and of course, the unbeatable Pokémon. Noticed they’ve been trying to boost its popularity by pairing it up with other monster-themed shows. Even saw Aaahh!!! Real Monsters (ARM) got brought back into the mix. Think this will give MA the bump it needs?

—

GarfieldFanatic: Honestly, it’s a smart move but The Garfield Show has its own loyal audience because, well, it’s Garfield. MA has its charm, but it’s fighting an uphill battle. Monster mania is cool, but does it have what it takes to stand next to Pokémon? Pairing it up with classics like ARM is clever, but only time will tell.

—

PokeMasterX: Every show has its day, but Pokémon’s throne is pretty much untouchable. That said, MA has been getting more attention since the monster-themed programming kicked in. The pairings make for a fun, themed block that’s been quite enjoyable. It certainly sets the right atmosphere for MA to thrive.

—

AaahhFan: Thrilled to see ARM back in the lineup! If anything, I tune in for that nostalgia hit and stick around for MA. It’s a fun show with a lot of potentials. This strategy could introduce it to new viewers who come for the monsters and stay for the story.

—

AnimationAnalyst: The tactic here is pretty clear: they’re attempting to create a monster universe of sorts to leverage the thematic continuity between shows. MA benefits from this association, particularly when paired with well-loved shows. It’s a solid strategy for audience crossover but boosting it past The Garfield Show—that’s a tall order.

—

MonsterKid2000: MA has always been underrated IMO. Pairing it with the likes of ARM just highlights what fans of monster genres enjoy. It’s a smart play, and I’ve definitely found myself watching more of it since the pairings started. Plus, who doesn’t love a good monster mash-up?

—

ClassicToonLover: Is it just me, or have they been pushing MA really hard lately? I mean, I appreciate the effort to diversify, but I worry that forcing it into these blocks might deter some folks. It should stand on its own merits. That being said, the monster block has been entertaining.

—

DigitalDuo: At the end of the day, it’s all about content consumption. By cleverly packaging MA with thematic shows, they’re not just trying to boost its viewership but also enhancing the overall viewing experience. It’s a smart way to capitalize on monster mania, inviting viewers to dive deeper into that world.

—

MonsterHighway: Love or hate the strategy, it’s definitely got people talking about MA more. Plus, seeing ARM again is a total bonus. There’s a certain genius in revitalizing interest in monster themes this way. MA might just surprise us and climb up the ranks.

—

Thread Moderator: Interesting points all around! It’s great to see such varied perspectives on the network’s strategy with Monster Allergy and its pairing with other monster-centric shows. This could indeed be the beginning of a new era for monster-themed programming. Let’s keep the conversation respectful and see how this monster block evolves! Write a follow up in May where the Monster block closes, or has MH and ARM removed from it, The former goes back to only airing on regular Nick, where the latter becomes Paramount+ only, The remaining show is becoming pretty popular, even replacing TMNT Fast Forward next week,
