Spring Cleaning - Paramount+ Illegally Remoges 17 More Nick Classics

It seems as if the era of illegal tax writeoffs and job layoffs is about to get even worse as Paramount+ has done some spring cleaning over the easter holidays. A total of 17 more Nickelodeon programs has been unreasonably removed from the Paramount+ streaming service until further notice:

Are You Afraid of the Dark? (2019)
Back at the Barnyard
Big Nate (Paramount+ original)
Blue's Clues & You!
How to Rock
It's Pony
Knight Squad
Make It Pop
Middlemost Post
Ollie's Pack
Planet Sheen
Rugrats 2021 reboot (Paramount+ original)
Sam & Cat
Santiago of the Seas
Supah Ninjas
That Girl LayLay

In addition, episodes and clips from Big Nate, Blue's Clues & You!, Rugrats 2021, Ryan's Mystery Playdate, Santiago of the Seas and That Girl Lay Lay have also been deleted from the official TV channel websites at www.nick.com and www.nickjr.com respectively.

Howver despite these shows removed, doesn't actually mean that they're really cancelled. Both Big Nate and Rugrats 2021 are still ought to be renewed for an additional third season of episodes each and both series still air weekly on the Nicktoons linear TV channel.

According to Paramount boss Bob Bakish and Nickelodeon bosses Brian Robbins and Ramsey Naito have said that the reason for more of these unacceptable content removals and cancellations means that they were looking to invest more on franchises that have mass global appeal, such as Blue's Clues, Dora the Explorer, PAW Patrol, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Loud House, Rugrats, Star Trek, Transformers, Monster High, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and its newest Nicktoon franchise Rock Paper Scissors, which premiered in February 2024

Some of these content removals actually make kinda sense this time around as Nickelodeon has wrapped production of That Girl Lay Lay and Blue's Clues & You. That Girl Lay Lay wrapped its second and final season last week, with Blue's Clues & You! set to air its final fifth season at a later date.

It's currently unknown where all the deleted Paramount+ Nickelodeon content will be migrated to next, although its very possible that they will join the Netflix roster alongside the upcoming second season of Star Trek: Prodigy and the second and third seasons of the recently successful live-action reboot of Avatar: The Final Airbender. All deted Paramount+, Netflix and Max programs will also be migrated into the Disney+ streaming service from the Walt Disney Company, under its new Disney+ Hulu merger hub which released earlier this month.
