Nick Sitcoms (2011-present)

While most of the Nickelodeon sitcoms from 1989-2010 (also known as Nickcoms) were well received (except for The Naked Brothers Band), Nickelodeon has gone downhill since 2011, starting with Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures.

Why Most of Them Suck Now

 * 1) Most of the time in these modern Nick Sitcoms, the laugh track is overused, which makes it unfunny. The Thundermans and Side Hustle are perhaps the worst offenders, as the laugh track plays at least once every 10 to 15 seconds.
 * 2) * Most of them were kind of why Nickelodeon was going downhill in the first place.
 * 3) The episodes in these Nickcoms often have awfully weak writing, which includes the following:
 * 4) * Poorly executed parodies.
 * 5) * Unfunny puns or jokes.
 * 6) * Pure filler.
 * 7) * Gross-out humor.
 * 8) * Obnoxiously annoying humor.
 * 9) * Mean-spirited moments.
 * 10) * Childish/nonsensical plots.
 * 11) Many of them lack any charm or cleverness.
 * 12) Poor or lackluster acting.
 * 13) Danger Force and Sam & Cat are good examples of unnecessary spin-offs.
 * 14) Shows like Henry Danger and The Thundermans have bad life lessons, like cheating, lying, bullying and starting drama.
 * 15) Most of those sitcoms has cliched and stereotypical characters:
 * 16) * Henry Danger has a character played by Frankie Grande, presented as a homosexual stereotype, as they are clearly making fun of gay people when adding in that stereotype not helping the fact that Grande is gay himself in real life.
 * 17) * In Cousins For Life, there is a stereotypical overprotective father called Lewis.
 * 18) * In Tyler Perry's Young Dylan, all of Dylan's family are cliched and stereotypical.
 * 19) * In The Thundermans, there are stereotypical mean Asians, which is just racist.
 * 20) Most concepts are sometimes based on older reality content but with insignificant changes, making the shows often feel like rip-offs to others or just predicable.
 * 21) Shows like Sam & Cat, Game Shakers, The Other Kingdom, and I Am Frankie (while good) either have bad finales or ended on cliffhangers, which are not good examples to end the show.
 * 22) These sitcoms try too hard to be hip and cool with kids.
 * 23) * Putting celebrities as cameo roles doesn't help considering they're added in to have their talents wasted (like in Game Shakers and Cousins For Life).
 * 24) * Adding in memes (like in The Thundermans) so Nickelodeon can get a cheap laugh out of their audience.
 * 25) * Lastly, the amount of social media references were a big mistake. The end results are what make the show ending up looking very dated, cringey, or just there so Nickelodeon can ask for cheap laughs out of their audience.
 * 26) The special effects in some shows (like Henry Danger, Cousins For Life and Knight Squad) are cheap and mediocre. Some higher-budget sitcoms may have better special effects, but that doesn't say much.
 * 27) * The sets can also look very cheap and pathetic, with Knight Squad and Side Hustle being the worst offenders.
 * 28) The advertisements sometimes on sitcoms were misleading (like in Cousins For Life) or spoiled the final episode (like in Game Shakers).
 * 29) Almost no character development or redemption in some shows like Henry Danger.
 * 30) * Sometimes the opposite happens and flanderization (Sam and Cat and I Am Frankie being examples of that trope) happens instead.
 * 31) Some of these Nick Sitcoms air on the Nicktoons channel, which makes no sense, as the Nicktoons channel's purpose is to show only animated content.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) There are occasionally some good or decent sitcoms such as The Astronauts and All That (2019 revival).
 * 2) "The Beginning of the End", "Captain Drex", "The Fate of Danger Part 1", "The Fate of Danger Part 2", are good examples how to end the series.
 * 3) The Upcoming Are You Afraid of the Dark Series should be a good Season.
