True, the only recent cartoon that was watchable on the Nick stations was Avatar: The last Airbender. It ended last year or the year before I think. But, yeah, the station is utterly useless these days.
Its the end result of trying to hard to not offend anyone race/creed/nationality. Think of Dexter's lab and his accent, "will this insult anyone's nationality?" or "is Ren and Stimpy too gross?" In the end you get programs that are boring. It feels like they just extrapolated Sesame Street up like 10 years. Most parents are okay with this I guess, its weird. I'd rather have my kids watch thought provoking anime (not all of it is) instead of 98% of the crap on TV these days.
