Nickelodeon: Continued
After seeing Malcom in The Middle promoted on Saturday morning at 10 during Penguins of Madagascar, I made sure to write Nick tonight. (I think I have found the presents e-mail).
I did some online research - it appears that they are shifting the 8-9 slot to an older crowd (12-17). I don't fault them for doing that, but they should not be promoting the 12+ shows when they clearly know under 12's are watching. I also saw that in the fall, they will also accquire Everybody Hates Chris (based on Chris Rock). I have no idea how family friendly that is either - although I think that was on at 8PM originally. I'd just like them to consider that many of the younger viewers are used to Nick at 8PM having grown up with SpongeBob reruns on at that time.

I agree different parents have different opions on what is appropriate - but there is a big difference in content and target market between Malcom in the Middle and the previous shows in the 8 PM slot. It is something that Nick should consider with their programming.
