Viacom has always thought of itself as an IP mill, but now we're going to see what happens when nobody comes out with anything new. I can't wait for the collapse.
Actually they rebranded to Paramount Global in 2019. Just goes to prove that they're so small in the grand scheme of things that a total rebranding goes over everyone's heads.
About a decade ago NICK GAS and The '90s Are All That/Nick Splat/The Splat existed. They aired four hour blocks of all the 90s live action shows, cartoons, and game shows. They even brought back Stick Stickly.
I guess with Paramount+ it ended. Even now NickToons is SpongeBob all day when it used to have Fanboy & Chum Chum, Mighty B, TUFF Puppy, and all the other shows that weren't as popular as Spongebob.
A few months ago they also had TMNT in the middle of the night, probably just to advertise the franchise being on Paramount.
Apparently Nicktoons being the Spongebob channel is the only way to keep the ratings high enough to justify its continued airing now that all of the variety's moved to streaming, all the events they used to do between the networks are crammed onto Pluto TV now.
Was it about the fact that somebody managed to mod it or was it the unused texture that someone found in the game files of his eyes and mouth stitched shut?
Not really, plenty of their Disney Plus stuff is censored, They even erased some episodes entirely like the Red Skull episode from "Spider-Man and his Amazing friends", they're also missing plenty of their shows on Disney Plus such as the Aladdin TV series
They also wrote off many of their shows like the Willow sequel series. Not that they were good but they still wrote them off and they aren’t available anywhere else.
Disney TVA is lucky that higher ups at Disney didn't force them to make a ton of Disney+ originals like Paramount and AT&T did to Nick and CNS. They only made two shows, Monsters at Work and the Proud Family reboot which were able to get moved to Disney Channel after they bombed on D+
Other than losing a frickton of money with their many recent flops to the point their shareholders are fighting each other as we speak, having awful animation in most of their series, being terrible to it's workers, hiring literal convicted sex offenders that literally just got out of prison and giving them jobs at series full of kid actors and writing off shows just like the other studios.
>Losing Reedy Creek >Now have to pay trillions back for trying to fight back instead of accepting it.
And that's not even talking about their movie & tv show failures.

Do you even know what that word means or is that a coping mechanism? Also you're replying to 2 different people, not everybody is the same person, schizo.

Recent studies have shown that zoomers and gen alpha don't like reboots of old shit, which is such an obvious "no shit" statement that it makes me wonder who the frick wasted time studying it.
The problem is that said reboots suck ass. There's been a ton of old shit that got a resurgence lately, it's just the out of touch corporate morons trying to cash in on that where things go to shit.
Genuine question, who the frick is subbed to Paramount+?
I pirate everything I watch, but everyone else I know just goes with Netflix, Hulu or more recently HBO
Yellowstone is apparently the biggest show on streaming, or was for a while.
It's literal boomers that have no internet presence besides parts of facebook and online comments section.
I wonder how the creator of the Big Nate books feel about this consider that he gave Nickelodoen the rights to turn them into a show and now they made it lost media. (When it comes to watching the show legally)
And apparently Nick is planning on making a cartoon based on another one of his book series.
Probably frustrated since he's been trying to turn it into a cartoon since the 90s but wasn't happy with all the approaches until this show. He even worked on it as a consultant and did some of the strips for the end credits.
I wouldn't be shocked if Max and the Midknights got cancelled mid-production.
This all has to be for tax writeoffs right? How much does it actually cost per year to host a show on a streaming platform? There's no way it's enough to justify cuts by itself.
When is something going to be done to stop this shit? I don't even like most of those shows but people spent years of their lives working on these. They should be watchable by anyone who wants to watch them.
People need to stop this "I personally think it sucks so it shouldn't exist" bullshit and grow up. If it exists and you don't like it, make the choice to not watch it.
Anon, most people have been on board to stop these blatant tax writeoffs since Coyote vs Acme. There's just not a whole lot people can do outside of yellong at our useless politicians.
>If they’re just doing this to cut costs, why can’t they just fire a bunch of people like in the good old days?
Didn't they already do that a month ago?
Yeah, let the shitty shows be watchable by those who want. If the ratings suck don't order more episodes.
I question why half of these shows on the list were made, but since they were produced they should be available.
He did frick a lot, but this is more of a bubble popping both in entertainment and ESG crap imploding
Not even making a culture war argument, we were in an entertainment/tech bubble with so many useless productions and position in middle management that were hemorrhaging profits for a long ass time
It was bound to happen eventually, things only accelerated as of now, it can only get worse
Viacom has always thought of itself as an IP mill, but now we're going to see what happens when nobody comes out with anything new. I can't wait for the collapse.
Proof that nostalgia baiting is dying?

Zaslav won
Zaslav was right. Streaming is blackhole
More like everyone lost
There was a reboot of Are You Afraid of The Dark? And Rugrats?
Not anymore there's not.
I'd heard about the Rugrats one through here but I didn't know about Are You Afraid of The Dark
They were more movies or miniseries than a show, only three to six episodes for each season.
Noooo not THE Ryan from Ryan's World.
That kid is going to hit the wall real quick now that he's almost a teenager.
God there was a great Cinemaphile post about his game that I can't find now
Was it about the fact that somebody managed to mod it or was it the unused texture that someone found in the game files of his eyes and mouth stitched shut?
The frick?
You think the people who made this game didn't hate working on it and the kid on general?
that's funny as frick
Why is Ryan wearing an OG Outright Games t-shirt? Is he a shill?
Good
The reboot ruined Charlotte. I'm glad that garbage is going in the incinerator where it belongs
And nothing of value was lost.
Shut up homosexual
>Rugrats (2021)
Haha
We won
OH NO, NOT THE RUGRATS REBOOT
I'D REALLY HATE IF THE RUGRATS REBOOT WAS COMPLETELY ERASED FROM EXISTENCE
>becomes the only studio with literally no problems
Not really, plenty of their Disney Plus stuff is censored, They even erased some episodes entirely like the Red Skull episode from "Spider-Man and his Amazing friends", they're also missing plenty of their shows on Disney Plus such as the Aladdin TV series

They haven't renewed or greenlit any new shows since 2022
It has been over since February dumbass
Disney TVA is lucky that higher ups at Disney didn't force them to make a ton of Disney+ originals like Paramount and AT&T did to Nick and CNS. They only made two shows, Monsters at Work and the Proud Family reboot which were able to get moved to Disney Channel after they bombed on D+
>Monsters at Work
That's Pixar, not DTVA.
I think I'll just go watch Willow
Hey, I liked Willow!

Ok schizo....

He dosn't know
They've written off the least stuff but they're definitely going to do more
Source: Dude trust me
I can't believe Youtube will win by doing absolutely nothing.
They provide content kids actually watch.
The content in question.
>Can't find a way to make money with Rugrats and Blue's Clues reboots
The animation industry is absolutely cooked
>if your new reboot doesn't catch on you can just erase it from existence, get a tax writeoff and try another reboot later
Recent studies have shown that zoomers and gen alpha don't like reboots of old shit, which is such an obvious "no shit" statement that it makes me wonder who the frick wasted time studying it.
The problem is that said reboots suck ass. There's been a ton of old shit that got a resurgence lately, it's just the out of touch corporate morons trying to cash in on that where things go to shit.
I didn't even know Rugrats got rebooted lol. They can only ride the nostalgia milking for so long before they run out of IPs.
It'd be less of a problem if they offered up the IPs for sale. If they can't be arsed to support it, give it to someone who will.
Who would buy Rugrats and be bothered to revive it?
A shame about Big Nate. The humor didn’t land for me but it had creative art direction.

These are the only ones I see people talking about. Any of the other apps only get mentioned show by show.
yet half of them is writing several of their shows off
I wonder how the creator of the Big Nate books feel about this consider that he gave Nickelodoen the rights to turn them into a show and now they made it lost media. (When it comes to watching the show legally)

So, is it possible for video games to be tax write offs?
>Woke Rugrats gets purged
Lol
>woke
moron
Woke homosexual found
Shut the frick up moron.
>Rugrats (2021)
I've never heard of this what is it?
CGI Rugrats reboot.
>CGI
oh brother
This all has to be for tax writeoffs right? How much does it actually cost per year to host a show on a streaming platform? There's no way it's enough to justify cuts by itself.
I don't care about any of that. When's the next season of Lower Dicks?
If anyone is able to, these should get ripped before theyre gone
A bunch of Big Nate and Rugrats episodes were burned off on Nicktoons. Both have a season left so who knows if those will even air at all.
He WON
When is something going to be done to stop this shit? I don't even like most of those shows but people spent years of their lives working on these. They should be watchable by anyone who wants to watch them.

Anon, most people have been on board to stop these blatant tax writeoffs since Coyote vs Acme. There's just not a whole lot people can do outside of yellong at our useless politicians.
Even if these shows suck, they should at least be given a chance to suck on their own and not get sniped without warning.
If they’re just doing this to cut costs, why can’t they just fire a bunch of people like in the good old days?
>If they’re just doing this to cut costs, why can’t they just fire a bunch of people like in the good old days?

i honestly dont get it why pramaount get rid of these, arent the more content on streaming service the better?
It’s the tax write off dude
Aka
Some stupid scheme to get more money
>Kills the entire entertainment industry
Nothing personal kid
wait, was there a AYAD reboot? I didnt even knew that LOL
They rebooted are you afraid of the dark?
Are you afraid of the dark wasn't that bad
The rest kinda sucked or were too ugly
Why is this happening?
>inb4 le bidenomics
I doubt that senile frick managed to frick the economy in such short time, was it covid?
Part of it is probably lots of junk getting greenlit during COVID because of the spike in engagement it caused, then not panning out in popularity.
He did frick a lot, but this is more of a bubble popping both in entertainment and ESG crap imploding
Not even making a culture war argument, we were in an entertainment/tech bubble with so many useless productions and position in middle management that were hemorrhaging profits for a long ass time
It was bound to happen eventually, things only accelerated as of now, it can only get worse
The entire entertainment industry has been a bubble this entire time it just took a while to finally burst
