No more Nick GAS

[sunnyhibiscus]

Not only there will be no more Courttv, but there will be no more Nick GAS. Starting 6 AM eastern Monday, Nick GAS will be no more. The N will take Nick GAS spot and air 24 hours. Nick GAS will still be available at turbonick.com, but you do have to have Windows Vista to view Nick GAS.

My comments:
-This sucks that I had to have Windows Vista to view Nick GAS. It will probably be $150 to get my OS upgraded.

-We 80s kids got robbed big time. We thought that we were going to get a Nick Rewind channel, but they had to create the channel to a bunch of teenyboppers (no offense, but...). The only shows that I like on The N are Beyond the Break, South of Nowhere, and Radio Free Roscoe. I like All That, Kenan and Kel, Saved by the Bell (which is already on TBS), Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (which is aired on dozens of channels) and Growing Pains as well. But the rest of the schedule I don't care for. I used to like Degrassi, it has jumped the shark not too long ago.

I don't even know what Nick GAS is!

I did read in the newspaper today that Noggin and The N were splitting so that each could expand to 24 hours (so pre-school programming can be on after 6 and teenaged stuff can be on during the day.

ETA: Ooooooooh, I think I know what Nick GAS is now....it's a completely different station which (on my system) only seems to play Double Dare and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

M'eh.

Yeah I think it is ridiculous that not only do they show Fresh Prince of Bel Air on Nick at Nite, but they also show it on Nick2 (digital cable) ALL OF THE TIME. You can catch it on Nick2 from 4:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. EVERY DAY. So why would they need to showing it on The N too?
To the people of Nickelodeon, pick just one channel to air the show! ...or maybe you want the 24 hour Fresh Prince channel?

And it is crazy that TBS airs the show too. There are a lot of good shows that doesn't air at all that should be picked up.

My daughter is excited about the change but my son is ticked. He liked all the physical challenge shows.

That still doesn't help me. Comcast took off The N/Noggin and I believe NickGAS a few weeks ago. The two channels are nothing but static. Hopefully it'll be back. I haven't watched Degrassi in forever and that's my favorite show.

I have Comcast and I have The N and Noggin. The N took the place of NickGAS. Now I have Nickelodeon, Nick2, The N, Noggin, and NickToon. It is a little excessive, but whatever.

interesting enough, i was listening to an interview with Lloyd, and he was on an episode of Double Dare! lol hilarious!

yay to 24/7 Degrassi TNG/Instant Star (does that still come on?), and there's another show i cant remember its name...

were kids really watching Noggin? and BOOOO to no more GAS. Nick does need a throwback channel, including Welcome Freshman, Clarissa Explains it All, and of course Are you Afraid of the Dark?

Actually they could throw in some old school Nick News with Linda Ellerbee - would be interesting to see how they related the news of the time to kids/pre-teens.

I loooooved Linda Ellerbee and how she related to kids. I think the "Conversation with Magic Johnson" might have been the first one. I will never forget when HIV+ Hydeia Broadbent broke down and Magic comforted her.

They also need to bring back GhostWriter. Awesome fun show!

I had read in Wikipedia that Mike O'Malley (host of GUTS and Get the Picture) was a member of Kappa Sigma. Is that true? The reason why I had asked that is because Wikipedia is the worst place for sources, because some of the stuff is not true.
