Unfortunatly, It will probably be the most creative and funniest program on any channel. It a sad statement when out of 600 channels the best thing on is Spongebob.

What?? They are actually not going to play Fresh Prince for 24 whole hours?

Or Roseanne either?!!! LOL!!!
I've thinking for awhile that the Nickelodeon portion of its channel should go 24/7, and make Nick@Nite a separate 24/7 service, of course, it obviously wouldn't be called "Nick@Nite" no longer. If channels like Boomerang, Toon Disney, Noggin/The N, and Cartoon Network can program to young kids and teens 24/7, then it's about time Nick should too.
Anyways, back to the topic...I've watched Spongebob a few times, and my son watches a lot, and it's a OK show to me, but I don't get the show's popularity.

Isn't what you are referring to called "TV Land"?

I think there's enough Nickelodeon programs from years past to make the Nick @ Nite block into Classic Nick, featuring programs like "You Can't Do That On Television," "Count Duckula," "Out of Control," "Clarissa," etc. Programs like that on from 9p-6a would not only appeal to children and teens, but to young adults who grew up with Nickelodeon through the 80s and 90s as well. Just look at the success of Adult Swim on cartoon network. There's certainly room for some competition on the Nickelodeon side. Nick @ Nite in it's present state is a joke. Either get rid of the marathons and reinstate a 4-5 hour block of separate half-hour sitcoms or just give the time back to regular Nickelodeon programs.

That's basically my point...Nickelodeon has more than enough inventory to broadcast 24/7, and many of same shows on Nick@Nite air on TV Land anyway, and if Viacom doesn't want to create another channel, they can send those shows to TV Land. Hell, even networks like Hallmark, Superstation WGN and i can use a lot of those shows. I'm going to make a way-out prediction like some of this board, but I wouldn't surprised eventually if Nickelodoen goes 24 hours a day, while Nick@Nite is no more.

I'll play the "Worst Case Scenario" card and predict that Nickelodeon at night will be more of the same stiff we curerently see during the day -- more SpongeBob, more OddParents, more "flavir of the month"...
What Nick and Viacom does defies logic. Even if Nick goes 24/7, don't expect better programming.
Unfortunately, azumanga is right. A 24/7 Nick would either mean more of the same stuff that's aired during the day or programming that absolutely defies the original mission of Nickelodeon during the nighttime hours. Could you imagine a tamed down version of "Queer as Folk," for example, on Nick during the 9pm-6am programming slot? Neither can I, but this is Viacom we're talking about...the home such reality/gossip channels such as MUSIC Television, VIDEO Hits 1, and Country MUSIC Television.
