This Holiday Season Brings Sad News for Nickelodeon Fans

Nickelodeon is a cable channel known for providing classic shows and movies on television. And with the emergence of the streaming era, watching Nickelodeon programs has never been easier, thanks in large part to Paramount+. While the streaming platform has been home to various Nickelodeon titles, a number of programs were sadly removed from the streamer's library -- and during the holiday season at that. This includes some of the biggest Nickelodeon titles, like Blue's Room and Big Time Rush.

Paramount+ has been removing several Nickelodeon titles from its catalog, according to ComicBook. In addition to the Blue's Clues spin-off and Big Time Rush, the sci-fi superhero comedy My Life As A Teenage Robot and Doug (one of Nickelodeon's biggest and earliest titles) were also removed from the platform. Shows based on DreamWorks Animation features were also removed, including Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and The Penguins of Madagascar. Other titles that were also purged from Paramount+'s library include AwesomenessTV, Breadwinners, Game Shakers, House of Anubis, Let's Just Play: Go Healthy Challenge, Welcome to the Wayne, Wonder Pets, and Zoofari. Paramount has yet to give a statement regarding the removal of some Nickelodeon titles.

The Importance of Physical Media in the Streaming Era

Close

Nickelodeon is responsible for bringing multiple fan-favorite programs, widely known for its classics, like Rugrats, SpongeBob SquarePants, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Wild Thornberrys, Hey Arnold!, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The Fairly OddParents, iCarly, Drake & Josh, Victorious, and All That, among others. Nickelodeon also offers some great feature films, including Good Burger, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Nacho Libre, The Adventures of Tintin, Rango, Dora and the Lost City of Gold, and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie. Luckily, some of the titles mentioned were made available for streaming, but while the removal of some from Paramount+ is not surprising news, it doesn't make it less sad either.

For this year alone, a slew of shows and movies were removed from multiple streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Max. While the streaming era has made watching our favorite features and shows more accessible, it's still a fleeting experience at the end of the day, given the continuous trend of streaming platforms removing a slew of titles from their catalog. This is why physical media (for movies, television shows, and even music) remains important, especially for fans who want to own a copy of their favorites. And thanks to physical media, some Nickelodeon titles like My Life as a Teenage Robot can still be purchased in DVD form.
