Yeah, FOP and Spongebob are clearly the shows that are keeping Nick from getting bankrupt at this point. I mean, if you wanna hold on to those shows, then fine. FOX still has The Simpsons to this day. But at least make sure the shows still have quality in the long run, otherwise it'll be a case of "The bigger they are, the harder they fall."

You know what the weird thing is? They might not be in this position now if they didn't make stupid network decisions. I mean, six years ago they had decent Nicktoons like Making Fiends or The Mighty B, which garnered pretty good receptions and ratings. Both shows were canceled because Nickelodeon is afraid of trying something different than pandering with toilet humor and all that. People are also giving them stuff with tons of creative potential. I bet this is how it went down:

Modifyers creator: Hey Nick, here's a cool new Nicktoon I want to pitch to you.

Nick: Shoot.

Modifyers creator: It's about this strong female named Agent Xero and her sidekick Mole, and they're trying to stop this bad guy from stealing stuff. They all have really complex characters and-

Nick: Are they annoying?

Modifyers creator: Of course not.

Nick: Hyperactive?

Modifyers creator: Nope.

Nick: No deal. We need Fanboy and Chum Chum, they have that stuff so the kids can tune in and we make money!

Or maybe this with Adventure Time:

Adventure Time creator: Hello Nickelodeon, we have this awesome new show where this human Finn and a dog named Jake go on exciting adventures facing some of the supporting cast with great characters such as the Ice King, Marceline the Vampire Queen... in fact, we're planning a heartwarming plot down the line with them during and after the effects of an apocolyptic war-

Nick: Is it funny?

Adventure Time creator: Absolutely! The characters work well off of each other and it will be a great hit with teenagers and kids we're sure. It will have a great fanbase and-

Nick: We meant toilet humor! The kids love em!

Adventure Time: Well no, but-

Nick: Enough, executives, greenlight Sanjay and Craig!

See what I mean?

Also, Dan Schneider is the creator of live action shows like Drake and Josh, iCarly, Victorious, and Sam and Cat.

BTW, Sky Rat is about a rat with amnesia after being rescued by pigeons and wants to fly. Bad Seeds revolves around a bird named Harvey and his best friends Fee and Foe as they grow to get out of their comfort zones and get into multiple misadventures.
