Dear Nickelodeon

[lesliepear]

I know Sunday night at 8-9 is sort of your "dead zone" - a lot of reruns, Nick News etc. But putting the Dora premier on at 8 PM? How much of Dora's target audience is around at that time? They'd probably be watching Nick Jr anyway. And I think everyone who has Nick on cable, gets Nick Jr anyway. And I think there would be a massive channel change or TV click off from the usual Nick tween audience if my son is any indication!

Wouldn't 8PM be a better time to premier your new cartoon Fan Boy and Chum Chum rather than 10:30 on Saturday morning?

I pass the Viacom/MTV/Nickelodeon offices in Times Square all the time on my way to work. I'd love to have a nice chat with them sometime. And bring Alan who is probably Nick's #1 fan, if its on there, he watches it.

oh are you doing NaBloPoMo? I promise to do that every year and then... well, I don't finish it. Good luck!

I am. This is my 4th year doing it - I think I completed it for the 4 past years - except for one year when I posted very late one night and it didn't hit till after midnight - I've managed to write SOMETHING daily for the month (and I don't count locked entries).

Oh well I only do locked entries. Hmmm. Maybe I'll post something light later. And I disabled my Twitter feed so I wouldn't be cheating that way.

I wonder with so many people having DVRs/tivo, if they don't play some of that stuff at odd hours assuming people will record it for their kids for later?

Could be - but knowning Nick - it will be out on DVD any day.

(When the Barbie movies come out - they stick them on 1 afternoon on Sundays, but they put the bioncycle movie on friday @ 8 on Nicktoons.)
