Big Nate: A New Nickelodeon Cartoon
Big Nate is another new Nickelodeon cartoon that premiered on February 17, 2022. It was created by Lincoln Peirce, who is both the author and illustrator of the Big Nate books. I guess Big Nate started as a book series before becoming a TV show on Nickelodeon.
I don’t know the show very well because I was never a fan and never read the books. I only recognize it from seeing it on Nickelodeon’s website or in commercials on TV.
Nickelodeon doesn’t release as many new cartoons as they used to. According to my father, TV networks prioritize certain shows they want people to watch first. For example, if I wanted to watch Fanboy and Chum Chum right away on the TV guide, they might show SpongeBob SquarePants first or The Fairly OddParents before Fanboy and Chum Chum finally comes on.
Thanks to the internet, I can now just type in Fanboy and Chum Chum, and it will pop up so I can watch it whenever I want.
Not only that, but for older TV shows like Tak and the Power of Juju, which isn’t on TV anymore, I don’t see it on the TV guide. However, I can just go online, search for Tak and the Power of Juju, and find a lot of clips or full episodes.
The same goes for Big Nate. If it’s not airing on TV anymore, you can simply go on the internet, search for Big Nate, and find episodes to watch whenever you want.
