Anybody remember how hard Nickelodeon pushed this show during 2013 and 2014?

>Promos aired all the fucking time
>Well aired on Weekdays
>Dominated Saturday Mornings
>Renewed for a second and third seasons within a year of its run

Despite this, literally everybody fucking hated that show and got cancelled and forgotten about after 2016.

Yep, and I remember they forced Breadwinners a lot too during that shows first season. Once Sponge Out of Water came out, they pretty much ditched them both by axing all reruns slots and cancelling them both a few months later. Breadwinners obviously got shafted to Nicktoons but Sanjay and Craig seemed to finish its run on the main network surprisingly.

I'm sure Pig Goat Banana Cricket was meant to be the third wheel of these two shows. Nick pretty much gave up on that show just when it was about to air.

Attempt to get Indians on board with cartoons but Indians don't like cartoons.

That's why we cater to Mexicans instead. Mexicans love cartoons.

My impression is that shows like Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, and PGBC were the product of a period of extreme self doubt and jealousy at Nickelodeon after Adventure Time became a hit on CN. That was a show they passed on, they were kicking themselves over it, and they were afraid of letting it happen again so they greenlit a bunch of offbeat things they didn't understand. But the truth is that Nickelodeon's scheduling and production practices were to blame. Adventure Time would not have flourished had it been on Nick.
This happened to some extent at Disney as well, with Future Worm, Right Now Kapow, and Pickle and Peanut, and they failed too (although I dearly appreciate Future Worm and Pickle and Peanut.)

Honestly, while the hate Breadwinners gets was pretty justified, I don't really get why Sanjay was so hated to begin with. It wasn't the best thing from Nick, but I still thought it was an okay show for the most part. Seasons 2 and 3 are actually pretty damn good since they managed to tone down the toilet humor.

PGBC was alright to me as well.

For me a series needs to have a strong opening and ending, like an individual story. Sanjay got kind of entertaining by the end, but it started weakly and few people wanted to make that investment. In that way it's like Rise of the TMNT - the beginning was so scattershot and off-putting that it ruined any chances of finding a decent-sized audience, no matter how good the finale was.

I actually thought this was a legitimately good show. Early episodes were pretty hit-or-miss but since the end of S1, the title characters were better refined and they gave out more fun stories for its setting rather than simply showing off cheap laughs half of the time.

Also, Darlene.

Eh... it was way better than Breadwinners, (though that's not that big of an acomplishment) but overall, it just felt like a poor man's Regular Show.

Nick has a very specific gameplan: find a new show to milk, like spongebob.
They usually greenlight a show and spam it with a couple seasons, then measure its success rate against og spongebob, if it performs the same or better, they keep spamming it, they got a new cow. If it doesn't, it gets hard cancelled, even if it was a good show.
That's why loud house is still going on, it managed to make the mold thanks to perverts.

I feel S&C was better than the later seasons of RS.

S&C never had to deal with a bullshit forced love-triangle arc throughout its entire run.

I'm guessing that Nick saw this show as their answer to Regular Show, because of the whole "bro" dynamic between the main characters.

It was the random=funny era of nick. They saw how much shows like RS, AT and Gumball used randomness as a joke and tried to copy it

Future Worm was great, basically rick and morty for kids, i still see some reruns and most episodes are fun, funny and very creative.
Sad it got axed so bad

everyone hides how much they like anime unless it's something really popular and mainstream (like dragon ball or ghibli) because you'll instantly get called an otaku for watching anything else

I didn't mean to diss it, I just haven't seen much of it, and it's not available anywhere right now. It was a weird co-production between Disney and WB, and even they don't seem to know who has the rights to stream it.

There's pretty much no good drawings of all the girl characters from that show because they're "too ugly" by /co/'s standards.

She sucked lol

I remember Retal4 doing drawings of Megan, Darlene, Belle, and probably Sam back when the show was airing. (Because of course he's the one guy on /co/ who actually likes that show)

I don't know if they even exist anymore.
