Nickelodeon in General

…Hey Arnold is in the new Paramount Plus Super Bowl ad… and it is brilliant:

video not available

YYEEESSSSSSSSSS

Football Head taken to the literal extreme!

Please let this lead to something...

It leads to Picard lobbing Peppa Pig to her death.

Apparently it’s only in the US. I’ll find another version.

Slight detour, is the second season of Big Nate still going on?

I meant 'lead to something new being done' with the property, I know it's likely just to promote the library of episodes on the platform

That's pretty freaking funny. I love seeing Hey Arnold! get its flowers of course. Not one of the greatest animated shows of all-time for nothing.

I just finished watching the Paramount Superbowl ad.

Dang, that was their best one yet in the format, I did not expect them to go so hard on Arnold's role in the ad. If only Helga had been there!

I'm really hopeful from this that we get something new with Arnold...I wonder who voiced him here?

That wasn't even the best part, as a fan of lame 2000s rock, I popped big time for Creed showing up, and "Higher" from Titan A.E being spoofed by Stewart and Arnold, followed by Creed themselves performing it.

Hey Arnold! creator Craig Bartlett also drew some fan-art of the ad on his Instagram.

I like how Arnold's hat is a helmet

Kind of surprised Rugrats haven't been featured in an ad yet. For all I know, they probably have been though.

I like how Arnold says what we’re all thinking.

Patrick Stewart almost looks like Arnold's Grandpa. Haha.

The first Hey Arnold! movie does indeed have the distinction of being the first animated Nick film to get a PG rating as well. You also look at The Wild Thornberrys Movie being released later the same year and also getting a PG and those two did definitely come off as the crazier and more action-packed of the animated Nick films at the time without a doubt (and you look at the first Blue's Clues movie basically being a mostly animated film that without a doubt would've been G and The Little Bear Movie outright getting a G and those two animated PG movies stand out a bit more too as a result).

I was not aware that Blue's Clues and Little Bear had movies. 😱

To be fair they were direct to video. I didn't see either despite always watching both shows as a little kid but I did see the previews for them on various Nickelodeon tapes.

Speaking of that, I practically have the Wild Thornberrys Movie trailer memorized because it was practically on every Nickelodeon tape I watched growing up.

I didn't see the Blue's Clues and Little Bear movies from the early 2000s until late 2021 (still gotta see the second Blue's Clues movie from I think last year at some point too). Both were actually pretty good, especially the former. Like I said, Nick Movie Month doesn't just include theatrically-released movies, it includes Direct to Video or streaming films and TV movies/specials as long as they're each 40 minutes or more.

Be cool to talk about Hey Arnold! The Journal at some point soon since that's probably the best TV special Nick ever put out—if not, one of them certainly. Also Wild Thornberrys got two: The Origin of Donnie and Sir Nigel (the latter being the lead-in to the film).

Investigation Discovery is releasing a docu-series covering the reign of Dan Schneider: Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. It debuts 9 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 17, and Monday, March 18.

This alleged toxicity was the subject of an investigation published by BI's Kate Taylor in August 2022, which serves as the basis for "Quiet on Set."

Directed by Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz, the two-night docuseries will include never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with Nikolas, "Double Dare" host Marc Summers, "All That" cast members Giovonnie Samuels, Kyle Sullivan, Bryan Hearne, and Katrina Johnson, and more.

Dang, ID beat Quinton Reviews to the punch.

As a side tangent: I hope they keep doing the Paramount Mountain ads every year, they're consistently a highlight.

Trailer for the new TMNT:

Glad to hear Alexa Nikolas is involved. I'm hoping another major network also picks it up to attract more attention to it too. It'll make Nick/Paramount be held responsible/accountable and forced to address it all.

Not including any from All Grown Up, Rugrats itself has seven feature-length specials by the way: Runaway Reptar; Acorn Nuts & Diapey Butts; All Growed Up; Babies in Toyland; Tales from the Crib: Snow White; Tales from the Crib: Three Jacks & A Beanstalk and Second Time Around (the pilot of the 2021 reboot). I bring these up because I want one Nick Movie Month to be belatedly devoted to celebrating Rugrats's 30th Anniversary belated in 2021–next year's will be in honor of—no pun intended haha—Avatar's 20th as well.

Gonna make a draft page for Tales Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I made the Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles page official.

The original Avatar series has nine specials/movies: Series Premiere, Winter Solstice, The Siege of the North, The Fury of Aang, Secret of the Fire Nation, Book Two Finale, Day of Black Sun, The Boiling Rock and Sozin's Comet.

How did the Jimmy Neutron movie earn a nomination at the Oscars in 2002?

By being likable.

OMG! You guys! I heard Nickelodeon did the ratings stunt to end them all! They had Spongebob sing Sweet Victory on the super bowl again! But reanimated in CGI! I hope it's a huge success.

I hope it shows up in the halftime show for the adult network here.
