    Default Nickolodeon casting lounge... is the size of a SHED?!

    Whenever Nick produces a new show - it always involves at least one of the same people!

    I haven't watched a Nick show in about 15 years. How old are you?

    24, I'm just open minded and watch whatever I feel like including children's shows. Especially ones I used to watch as an actual kid.

    I do actually like some of the new Nick shows, it's just I think it's a bit strange that they keep reusing the same actors.

    But don't these actors grow up and then no longer be relevant for a kids show? Kenan Thompson for example. He got old and now he's on SNL.

    Well I guess that answers those old rumors that he and Kel were supposed to be dead! (Incidentally Kenan and Kel is now being reran on Nick weekly and I still enjoy watching it). I guess once they get to a certain age they stop appearing on the shows as frequently as the did if at all. Back in the old days people would hardly appear in other shows so close together. Since you used Kenan as an example, he and Kel made one guest apperance in Sister Sister, but that was just one episode. These days people seem to be appearing in left right and center. The iCarly cast (one of the shows I watch) seem to be appearing in every other series, and people from other shows seem to be appearing in theirs. Carly herself (the actress not the character) is actual from Drake and Josh as well. It's like their trying to get these kids to do everything before they're too old or something.

    Well, most child actors don't really cut it as adults. So maybe they're trying to get as much as they can before they have to enter the real world.

    I guess so. The problem is closed minded people tend to get sick of them quicker that way, which is a shame.

    It recently got repeated on Nicktoons, but not anymore since Nicktoons is now 96% Spongebob!

    You didn't know kenan was on SNL? He's been there for a little while now. It seems you only watch the kids shows huh.....

    I noticed that too. Worse, their actors are exactly the opposite of funny. Maybe it's because I've outgrown Nick or something.

    What channel does SNL air on?

    To me iCarly is pretty close to classic Nick, and reminds me of SOMETHING I used to watch as a kid, but at the moment I can't think what it is...

    Ironically Keanan's making a guest appearance on it as we speak.

    There aren't many non-cartoon kids' shows I enjoy. Just stuff like Mister Rogers and Sesame Street.

    Same. Though they did give Adventure Time a decent start. Maybe.
