On This Day - Steven Burns QUITS Blues Clues

On this day, 19 YEARS AGO, a kmoment of television history was made. Longtime host of Nickelodeon's phenomena Blue's Clues Steven Burns (aged 28-29 at the time) departed from the show and went to "college" which led to the takeover of new host Donovan Patton as Joe.

This departure has also sparked one of the largest rumor hoaxes of the channel's history of how Steve even left the program. A majority of these rumors made no sense, even for Mr. Burns himself such as he died to an unknown disease or he got killed driving a Dodge Charger which are NOT true and are just rumor hoaxes to make a legend worried about his future.

Luckily, he is still alive. He proofed these rumors were wrong in an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (hosted by Rosie O. Donnell at the time) to prove to the nation that he would still be okay and was alive and well.

The REAL reason he departed the production in the first place was due to his aging and also that a majority of his hair was falling off and he wanted it to look perfection every time he filmed the episodes and went on camera. After 2006, Burns got rid of alll his hair and remained bald as revealed on camera in a 2006 15-minute documentary about the series.

Today, Burns makes children's albums with The Flaming Lips guitarist Steven Drozd and has also made two comeback appearances on the recent 2019 incarnation of the legacy he left behind.

"Thanks again for all of your help". - Steven Burns, 4.29.2002

Although a Season 2 IS potential, unfortunately the series creator doesn't have any plans for it right now. It will happen at some point later this year, though the series' ending/cancellation has yet to be confirmed.

It may be due to another use of the tradition of moving new episodes and season/series finale episodes to Nickelodeon's sister channels Nick Jr. and Nicktoons instead of airing them on the main Nickelodeon channel and Nick Jr. block, which has been criticised by the channel's fanbase since 2017.

Coming Soon To Theaters... - Disney Announcer Mark Elliott Dies At 82

 We are so saddened to report the death of legendary Disney announcer and narrator Mark Elliott who passed away last weekend at the age of 82 years old at a Los Angeles hospital in California due to 2 heart attacks, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Elliott and Brian Cummings were known as the famed pair for Disney's trailer announcer dialog since the early '90s and were also notable for being used at the company's theme parks on numerous occassions.

Aside from the Disney collection, Elliott and Cummings were also responsible for the trailers of Barney's Great Adventure (1998), Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie (2002) and Sesame Street: Elmo's Christmas Countdown (2008) as well as the Columbia Tristar/Sony Pictures releases of Bear in the Big Blue House and The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss which premiered in 1996 and 1997 respectively.

Elliott is also known famous for narrating the trailers found on Disney Interactive's CD-ROMs including Zoog Disney Genius which trailer was recently discovered by YouTube channel BarbarianBros which also revealed a rare trailer for Monopoly, courtesy of the British chums at Virgin Interactive (AKA Virgin Sound & Vision)

Mickey and Minnie have unfortunately lost another founding face of the mouse house.

Thank you Mark for all the great voice talent that you brought after all these years. And now, may these fond memories forever be Your Feature Presentation.

Thank you for the Disney magic you brought to the world and rest in peace.

RIP Disney Announcer
Mark Elliott
September 1939-March 2021

I Got Bamboozled by NickAlive This April Fools Day

 Today is Aprl Fools and everyone is coming up with these strange pranks.

Recently I got bamboozled by one of the biggest bloggers around NickAlive! who keeps you up to date with everything ViacomCBS and Nickelodeon related.

In one of the posts on April 1st today, he joked around saying that SpongeBob SquarePants would be getting a preschool spinoff in the style of the 2019 reboot Blue's Clues & You!. However, don't get your hopes up because this news is completely fake.

When it says "click here for a first look" you are redirected to a photo that reads "happy april fools day!" meaning that this article was completely a joke.

You bamboozled me well NickAlive. I'm falling out of my chair laughing. Great job.

Link to the original joke article if you wanna experience it for yourself
http://nickalive.blogspot.com/2021/04/nickelodeon-announces-greenlight-of.html

"CN Gets The SpongeBob April Fools, Jerk" Treatment - Warner Bros Reveals Cartoon Network's WORST April Fools Prank EVER

"We're gonna become peasants! No more food!" - Tom Kenny 1999
 "APRIL FOOLS, you little sausage!" - Rodger Bumpass 1999
"It must have felt good to make him cry like that" - Bill Fagerbakke 1999

Yep it's that time of year again, April Fools Day where TV networks and news articles make fake articles to get people to believe in them only for them to realize that it's actually fake and would never happen.

The same issue comes for Cartoon Network who have decided to give their channel a total feline makeover as "Cattoon Network" and have Tom Ascheim retire as president of Warner Bros. Kids & Family Programming

Luckilly, you dont need to worry, CN is staying the same and this is just a big joke that everyone will soon have a laugh at and will soon regret. CN' ACTUAL rebrand is the Cartoonito preschool strand which comes out in the fall.

On This Day - Nickelodeon Launched

 Although April 1st (April Fools Day) is usually a day that involves going around pranking and bamboozling everyone via in-person and social media, there are a few things in life that ACTUALLY happen on this funny holiday.

The launch of the First Kids Network, Nickelodeon is no exception as the legendary channel has launched to the nation 42 YEARS AGO today.

Among the channel's upcoming projects include reboots of Rugrats, Dora the Explorer, The Fairly OddParents!, iCarly and Avatar: The Final Airbender, a new era of STAR TREK, a new spinoff of SpongeBob; The Patrick Star Show, new animated series Middlemost Post (July), The Big Nata (September), The Smurfs (October) and ZJ Sparkleton (2022), new movie and TV takes on Mattel's Monster High and Hasbro's Transformers (both coming in 2022 respectively), a virtual TV broadcast edition of PAW Patrol Live! (takes center stage on Saturday April 24th), a new The Loud House movie in real life A Very Loud Christmas (November), new preschool series The BeatBuds (Summer), Made by Maddie (Fall), The Tiny Chef Show (Spring 2022) and The Hampster Show (2022), a new CGI theatrical take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2023), a musical based on JoJo Siwa: The J Show (Summer) and new live-action comedies The Barbarian and the Troll (unveiled tomorrow at 7:30PM) and That Girl Lauv Lauv (coming in the summer)

Thanks to everyone who has been watching the channel over the years and making Nickelodeon the #1 network as it has been for over four decades.
