Everyone else: I miss Invader Zim! It was soooooo underrated! ChalkZone, El Tigre, the Xs, Catscratch, Danny Phantom, Teenage Robot, the Mighty B, and especially Making Fiends: Am I a joke to you? That’s not to say I don’t like Invader Zim. It’s a good show, but it’s hard to call it “underrated” nowadays when every 2000s Nicktoon that isn’t SpongeBob, Fairly OddParents, Jimmy Neutron, or Avatar tends to get ignored.
I am a pretty huge Zim fan, and I absolutely agree. Perhaps it was once underrated, but I've been a Zim fan since 2010, and the amount of GIR merch I saw at Hot Topic between 2010 and 2013 suggests otherwise, as do all of the memes and AMVs...xD
@@thebowlfosho4974 A lot of people say the Xs was similar to the Incredibles, but with spies instead of superheroes. It wasn't anything mind blowing from what I remember, but it was okay I guess.
I think the real series finale should of had Vedatta realizing her evil ways, eventually befriending Charlotte and apologizing to the whole town as well as turning over a new leaf
I feel like vendetta is an underrated nickelodeon villain. She's my favorite of the show. I became a fan of this show since last year. It deserved better. I doubt nickelodeon ever wants to bring this back. I really don't see chalkzone, danny phantom, the x's, the mighty b, catscratch, el tigre, and back to the barnyard ever getting revived either. Such a shame.
Our daughter ran across this in 8th grade and quoted it all thru high school. She is 27 and still goes "teehee" whenever someone hiccups. My favorite interaction (which I quote occasionally)... Charlotte: (to Vendetta) "I want to do everything your going to do." Vendetta: "In that case, I was going to play in traffic and drink bleach."
Me too. She deserves better than this. Nickelodeon pretty much never gives shows like this a Chance at all. Which is why Nick is on a ongoing downfall. It would probably get even more worse as time goes on.
I think Nickelodeon should add more cartoons to save their reputation. They should give CatDog, Invader Zim, Jimmy Neutron, Barnyard and a few others including this one a second chance. And also add more animated series based on their movies, such as Rango. They could also merge Nicktoons with their main network. Do you agree?
That gives me an idea as an event for a couple months on Saturday they give one old show the spotlight and if people want the show back it gets a spot on Nickelodeon probably won't happen but it would be cool
I remember watching Making Fiends back in the early 2010's, most likely reruns on Nicktoons Network. And I thought Teenage Robot got mistreated the most by any network.
I remember watching Making Fiends back when it use to be a bunch of online shorts on the nick website, so years later seeing that it got a tv show(despite being super short lived ) was pretty neat .
Nickelodeon is clearly run by out of touch types that HATE the fact they run a children's network and not a hip teen network from the 90's. We COULD talk about the fact that they only care about Spongebob, but it's more of a case that they only care about that, their money making preschool toy commercial programming, and whatever "I saw a meme on the internet and lets make that a show 3 years later" crap they think tweens like. Usually their fuckin' horrible sitcoms, but they'll always greenlight some flimsy internet "celebrity" related trash and then jam that lame fad in everyone's face. Like Jojo Siwa and that kid that opens toys on youtube. Anytime they greenlight a cartoon series, you get 5 episodes in a once a week timeslot (or even just a singular week) and then a several month wait for 2 more, and then they dump it on Nicktoons because they clearly DON'T want to give anything an audience.
I loved Making Fiends it was one of my most favorite Nicktoons shows...but the fact that Nick didn’t even give the show promos or announcements and that they cancelled it after just 6 episodes that was just dirty And to just add insult to Injury, Amy can’t even continue her Making Fiends web series just because Nick now owns the rights to the show, So they can legally sue her if she continues the Making Fiends web series (where it stopped at a huge cliffhanger that we’ll never see the end result of) This shouldn’t have happened to her...Nickelodeon scammed her out of one of her most popular shows yet Nick doesn’t even care because now it’s their property so they can do whatever they want with it. If Nickelodeon did care they would give the rights back to her right after the series got cancelled so she can continue with her own Making Fiends series...but no, the entire Nickelodeon company had to be crooked as all hell...so the only thing that they decide to do to Amy is laugh at her, because they stole her most popular show and she can’t do jack shit about it because she’s the one who signed the contract...
@@nevaehhamilton3493 I bet they either increased the prices, that way she can’t afford to get it back Or the contract was one-way. Once she sold the rights, she won’t get them back.
Thank you so much for talking about Making Fiends! I'm so glad to see it get a bit more attention amongst cartoon fans! The Nick version of Making Fiends was released when I was first starting middle school. I found the original web series because of the Nick show and fell in love with both of them (as well as the rest of Amy Winfrey's work, which I highly recommend watching)! Her creative art style and cheerfully dark sense of humor is fantastic, and the characters have such a great dynamic! You can tell that the crew really loved what they did. ^-^ Its production history is unbelievably tragic, though, and the story really needs to reach more people. Nick has unfortunately mistreated many a creator, but I feel that none have been as mistreated as Amy and her crew were. This show deserved so much better. 💔 I'm glad to find someone else that appreciates this show so much! Your review was very well articulated, and the dry humor was really funny...xD
Pissed. Off. I have some semblance of pride on remembering old and obscure cartoons but don't remember this one at all. How is that possible? Well, I never watched NickToons Network! So I literally had no idea this gem existed! The behind the scenes story is just so sad and to see NTN is still the Nickelodeon Graveyard says so very much. Mostly it says, "If you make a cartoon and Nickelodeon wants to pick it up from you, tell them to TAKE A LONG WALK OFF A SHORT PIER AT GOO LAGOON!"
All classics, and I’ve seen, Know/ known, and loved/ love 4.5 out of 5 (I don’t really remember, if I watched the Xs or not as a 2000s kid, but the rest are classics in my 2000s eyes)
“Stupid BLUE girl!”, “STUPID BLUE GIRL!” (maybe ‘stupid stupid girl’ was/ is what the CC says vendetta says, but it’s not really what she says), what vendetta really calls her is “Stupid BLUE Girl!”
I was a tried and true Nickelodeon kid growing up and also an "everyday is Halloween" kind of kid, and I'll never forgive Nick for what they did to Amy Winfrey and Making Fiends.
Actually when you said “I wonder what would happen if she actually destroyed Charlotte” she actually did get destroyed/killed in a lost episode called “limbo”
You know I’m thinking of making a making Feinds Creepypasta with no cliches like the gumball lost episode, “the feast” you can understand why it was a banned episode. Any ideas for a makings Feinds Creepypasta?
Yeah 2016 but was also the last year this show aired. It’s never aired again since. Maybe Nick will eventually come to their senses and air it again but who knows.
i feel like if this was put on paramount plus as a "forgotten nicktoon too dark for tv" kinda like what nick did with crybaby lane, it would get attention from gen z and blow up in popularity
Very sobering. She never should have signed with Nick. Maybe Cartoon Network or Disney would have given her a better deal. You can actually have your contract state that if they don't do anything with it for X amount of years the rights revert back to you, but they may have been mean and had her sign away the rights indefinitely.
I really wonder just why some of these Studios keep IPs, they have No plans on EVER using again. Especially when the revenue the creator might make off it, if they were to make it Indy, would be pennies compared to what they make with their bigger IPs
I don't think Nickelodeon has even the villanous non-excuse of obtaining the show in order to cash in on the merchandise and tie-in products, because.... What merchandise? What tie-in products?
it's sad to see the tv series get cancelled in less than a month. this show really deserves better, considering it started out as a fun little web series.
I thought making things was a wonderful show in that school the network that cancel it may I just jealous of a perfect work of art even tours but Bob liking the big Box but you had this show and much longer episodes they could enjoy dead a lot longer it was perfect
nickelodeon shame on you for all the bad things you done, tsk tsk tsk, so non-goated and overrated i bet cartoon network solos you with neg diff, CN🗿> nickelodeon🤡
The saddest part is it was snatched from it's creator. As a artist this hurts to think about.

As someone who grew up in the 2000s, these shows are my childhood.
Except The X's. I don't remember that one.

imagine making fiends airing on Cartoon Network. I felt like CN would treat the show more better than Nickelodeon.
@@astressedned8988 They certainly did treat their shows better than Nick did...until they started airing Teen Titans Go. (and overscheduling it.)
Yeah.
I wish we could do something
I think the real series finale should of had Vedatta realizing her evil ways, eventually befriending Charlotte and apologizing to the whole town as well as turning over a new leaf
( vendetta )
That would've been a good ending.
@@skullton3292 That would have been a predictable end
@@juicebox7372 I mean, you can basically predict the plot of every episode. So it would fit lol

What’s with nickelodeon always sweeping certain shows under the rug?
They did it to my "Brothers Flub" 😢
They hate good shows!
Krabs: Hello I like money
Reporter: What inspired you to kick great shows other than the sponge off to the NickToons channel
Krabs:Money
It's simple if it's not spongebob it's not up to nicks standards
because they decided to be the SpongeBob network in 2004
this show was a gem... sad to see garbage thats been on tv for 20+ years and not this..
Fun Fact: Vendetta's name actually means vengeance. Vendetta is always bothered by Charlotte, so Vendetta takes REVENGE by trying to kill Charlotte.
that's right ! plus vendetta is an italian word
it means blood feud

netflix needs to BUY THE RIGHTS or something and give it back to amy
Omg Making Fiends was literally my whole childhood and me and my friend send each other clips for fun-

I really loved the web shorts but never got to see the show. It's such a shame there can't be any more.
For the record I also enjoyed your evil laugh.
Putting it on the lesser channel and then removing it for not enough fans just sucks
“Stupid BLUE girl!”, “STUPID BLUE GIRL!” (maybe ‘stupid stupid girl’ was/ is what the CC says vendetta says, but it’s not really what she says), what vendetta really calls her is “Stupid BLUE Girl!”
They should have just moved the show to the TeenNick channel instead of canceling it
Vendetta is my favorite character too! 😊
TBH. Amy Shouldn't Had Said Yes. She Maybe Should Have Pitched It To CN Instead.
Nick said no to adventure time too
I feel like it could get a reboot on Adult Swim
@@Karmy. why would it be on adult swim if it’s a kids show?
@@Corndogッ it would allow the show to take full advantage of it's somewhat dark premise

Y'Know Nickelodeon has a pantheon of great shows they don't care about.

I was a tried and true Nickelodeon kid growing up and also an "everyday is Halloween" kind of kid, and I'll never forgive Nick for what they did to Amy Winfrey and Making Fiends.
Honestly making fiends would've been perfect for cartoon network not Nickelodeon
Oh hey I remember this show! I'd love to check it out again some time I feel like I'd love it now more than as a kid

Sweet review
Yea
I think show could have been really good they should have gave it a better chance
At least that one year on nicktoons they did A monthly marathon of this show and Zim for halloween
Yeah 2016 but was also the last year this show aired. It’s never aired again since. Maybe Nick will eventually come to their senses and air it again but who knows.
i feel like if this was put on paramount plus as a "forgotten nicktoon too dark for tv" kinda like what nick did with crybaby lane, it would get attention from gen z and blow up in popularity
4:35 - Unfortunately, this still rings true to Nickelodeon. Have you SEEN the schedule for Nicktoons? It's 95% SpongeBob
Nick officially is the worst network than Disney compare to Disney they have 2 seasons or 3 or at times 4 or 5
Very sobering. She never should have signed with Nick. Maybe Cartoon Network or Disney would have given her a better deal. You can actually have your contract state that if they don't do anything with it for X amount of years the rights revert back to you, but they may have been mean and had her sign away the rights indefinitely.
It’s bc Vendetta say bad word
What
I really wonder just why some of these Studios keep IPs, they have No plans on EVER using again. Especially when the revenue the creator might make off it, if they were to make it Indy, would be pennies compared to what they make with their bigger IPs
Yup, always watched this late at night when I was 6
I don't think Nickelodeon has even the villanous non-excuse of obtaining the show in order to cash in on the merchandise and tie-in products, because.... What merchandise? What tie-in products?
I LOVED THIS SHOW WHEN I WAS LITTLE! 😆
It was such a good show. It's all fucking Nicktoons fault for neglecting it!
Can they add Vedetta to Nickelodeon All Stars?
Them dangling a carrot at them and then axing it is the most smarmy and swindler type thing that only Nick can do. Holy crap dude.
Nickelodeon is a trademark troll
most mistreated do you know how little that narrows that down
Dude I swear it was "Friends" I thought so as a kid
dang 6 episodes
5:20 - It's the birth of the legendary vs. The Network series!
it's sad to see the tv series get cancelled in less than a month. this show really deserves better, considering it started out as a fun little web series.
