Exactly, both shows have definitely overstayed their welcome and the humor is not the kind that will keep them afloat, or justify their continued run. Nobody likes the fairy dog Sparky, and SpongeBob has too much mean-spirited humor, if you can even call it that. How do you make something like animal abuse or attempted suicide comedic? Nickelodeon should show better taste than that.

I know, they seem afraid of anything that actually requires effort or is different. Which may also explain why Total Drama went from a sophisticated show for young adults to a childish, cruetly-laden panderfest that ironically enough is even more unsuitable for children now.

Yep, I definitely see where you're getting at.

Ah yeah, man dude's really had a huge stake in the tween sitcom craze.

Well, I hope they can make whole shows out of those concepts, hope they can keep them afloat. Hopefully something funny and worthwhile, because I hate dead-on-arrival ideas flooding the networks just to feed to that pander you just took a shot at.
