Bear arrives on Disney+
Sam and Friends BookCartoon Network died to me in 2004, and I haven't been able to watch anymore since.
The main Nickelodeon channel had kind of died to me around the same time as well, I started watching more of the digital subchannels like Noggin (for the Sesame content, of course), and Nicktoons back when it was essentially the home for reruns of classic Nicktoons that Nickelodeon wouldn't air anymore (like ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE), and gradually The N in the late 2000s when they started airing reruns of KENAN & KEL. The only thing that brought me back to Nick in general was when ALVINNN!!! AND THE CHIPMUNKS finally started airing in 2015, but you can tell since it's not one of their own IPs that Nick doesn't really want to do anything with it: they never promote new episodes, and they go for months (sometimes over a year) without airing new episodes. From there, I eventually got curious about seeing what the hype over THE LOUD HOUSE was all about, if only because apparently it's been the only thing to match SpongeBob's power.
Similarly, I've never had any real reason to watch Disney Channel since the days of RECESS, though I've been seeing on Twitter where the entire world is outraged over them prematurely canceling THE OWL HOUSE because apparently one network executive decided the series didn't fit their brand, which once again goes to show you that Disney is one of those companies that put more emphasis on their corporate agendas than they do whatever it is the consumers and viewers actually want.
