Complete failures that happened during Nickelodeon's history

The very fact that Sheen even forgot about Ultra Lord, shows that the writers didn't even know the character.

that's off for sheen's personality! they should've used the same writers from Jimmy Neutron

They should've given Jimmy Neutron it's final season instead.

You can say that out loud! Ultra Lord was Sheen’s number one interest, he simply couldn’t stop talking about him in JN.

On Planet Sheen, he annoys everyone with his clumsy antics.

I know one of their biggest failures in recent years was hoping that kids would be interested in watching reality shows (The Substitute, AMMF, Top Elf, Unleashed). They lasted 1-2 seasons and the person who was EVP of unscriped shows left Nick last summer.

A lot of long time fans feel a major turning point for Nick was when Herb Scannell left and Cyma Zarghami took over.

Part of Nick's problem is the sheer success of their flagship show and that made it hard to find an audience for new shows. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place between making things entertaining to an extremely young demographic (which I think most of Nick's audience is in the preschool demo even more so than other kids channels) and being entertaining enough to older audiences so they can spread the word on social media to draw attention to their shows. It's an extremely fine line. An almost razor thin line.

It's why Loud House and previously FOP have stayed there so long and every other Nicktoon has been gone after two or three seasons.

Don't forget the fact that SpongeBob SquarePants also is currently the longest running Nicktoons.

That show has two seasons made not three.

Jimmy Neutron and Casagrandes lasted for three seasons.

and TMNT, Avatar and a few others but you know what I mean by not many long running animated series especially in the later years. Tons of shows that only lasted one or two seasons especially originals. Three season shows were a little harder to come by.

Well yeah, Today's shows have a harder time staying with Nick locked onto SBSP (along with not letting FOP go, to the point of making a bad live-action show) But the Loud House does prove that it's possible for Nick to let a show that isn't SpongeBob to shine. Though they need to try letting shows blossom and not expect them to be instant hits.

This was a very near-miss - Avatar was technically canceled between seasons 2 and 3 due to low ratings, with all the staff let go. This would of ended the show on a big cliffhanger.
