Paramount+ Removes Major Beloved Nickelodeon Shows

As an observer who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of streaming services and nostalgic television, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness upon hearing about Paramount+’s decision to remove several beloved Nickelodeon series from their platform. Growing up, shows like Doug, My Life as a Teenage Robot, and Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness were staples in my childhood entertainment diet. These shows not only provided endless hours of enjoyment but also served as a gateway to a vast universe of animated storytelling that continues to captivate audiences today.

Paramount’s streaming service boasts some significant franchises in the entertainment industry, such as Star Trek, Yellowstone, Dexter, and Yellowjackets, among others. In recent times, Paramount+ has also introduced original series like Halo, Evil, Tulsa King, and Landman. Due to Paramount’s ownership of the cherished children’s cable network Nickelodeon, Paramount+ has been able to host classic animated shows that might not have been available elsewhere. However, recently, it appears that several popular Nickelodeon series have disappeared from the platform, leaving fans questioning if they’ve vanished forever from the streaming scene. Here’s hoping these iconic Nickelodeon productions will make a comeback.

It’s regrettably common in the entertainment industry for streaming platforms to phase out their original programming. For instance, earlier this year, MAX announced it would be parting ways with certain animated series like Teen Titans, Static Shock, and Teen Titans Go. Similarly, Disney+ has decided to terminate shows such as Willow, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, and Turner & Hooch. However, there’s hope that these shows may find new homes on other streaming platforms like Netflix or Tubi. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the upcoming departures from Paramount+ will also secure new streaming deals.

Paramount+’s Nickelodeon Removals

Two popular Nickelodeon series, “Doug” and “My Life as a Teenage Robot,” are being taken off Paramount+. The former, centered around Doug Funny’s escapades, was one of Nickeloon’s initial “Nicktoons,” paving the way for numerous other shows on the children’s network. The latter, with its robotic theme, has garnered a devoted fanbase that continues to honor it with new tributes today. By the end of this year, Paramount+ is also expected to eliminate series based on movie franchises like Kung Fu Panda and Madagascar. There’s no official statement from Paramount about these removals, and you can find the affected franchises listed below.

– Breadwinners
– Doug
– Game Shakers
– House of Anubis
– Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness
– Let’s Just Play: Go Healthy Challenge
– My Life As A Teenage Robot

Where To Watch What Is Lost

Though you may not find “My Life As A Teenage Robot” on Paramount+ anymore, there are other ways to watch this show. You can actually buy it on Video On Demand (VOD), and DVDs have been released too, although they might be tricky to locate sometimes. The same applies to many Nickelodeon series, but the availability varies depending on the specific series. Since Paramount+ is no longer hosting these series, it’s possible that sourcing physical copies of certain franchises could become a bit more challenging.

With streaming platforms expanding rapidly, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to come across physical media like Blu-Rays and DVDs. Major retailers such as Best Buy, Target, and others have significantly decreased their inventory or phased out these items altogether. As some streaming services are removing original content, there’s speculation about whether this trend could lead to a comeback for the physical media market.
