Because this looks like a damn Nick Jr. show instead of a Nickelodeon show. And majority of Nick's demographic are older than these kids in the cast.

They look 9-10 to me.

Isn't Nick's demographic way older than that? Like 14 at the least?

I don't think so. Usually the demos for kids programs are 2-11 or 6-11. Maybe a bit older but that's it. Teen programming is for Teen Nick although there are shows like Victorious that can go/ do well on both channels.

Why do you think Nick yanked Korra off the air?
shareI don't think so. Usually the demos for kids programs are 2-11 or 6-11. Maybe a bit older but that's it. Teen programming is for Teen Nick although there are shows like Victorious that can go/ do well on both channels.I don't necessarily agree with that. A demographic of 2-11 or 6-11 is pretty young for a network like Nick or even Disney Channel. That kind of demographic is better fit for Nick Jr. or Disney Jr.
I think they aimed too low. It's like they see having kids in the cast of other Nick and Disney shows is working better than having 20+ year old leads. But they need to balance it better than this because both can work or fail depending on the writing.
It does look like a Nick Jr show on the surface but has that whole "kid power" vibe which might help it. But I think it will do well for a Nick show and be able to get a few seasons. But the problem will be for Nick to resist the urge to have even the older kids in a relationship.
I barely watched it but it'll do fine by being Nick's on non-fantasy show. Like I said, I haven't seen much of it, but please tell me it's a normal show without magic, ghosts, superpowers or talking animals.
I like the younger casts. Better move than volatile 20 somethings in Sam and Cat.

It just seems strange because the last generation had been airing for so long that they were nearly (or actually) adults by the time the finales were filmed. The executives (rightfully) assume that most of the kids that grew up watching iCarly and Victorious have moved on, as those that grew up with Drake & Josh, The Amanda Show, Pete & Pete, et al, did over time. Now is the time to build a few years of brand loyalty by showing the younger kids characters that they can relate to. There's always exceptions to this rule, of course, like the *coughcough* twentysomethings that came for the Spongebob and stayed for the Thundermans, but (as time has shown) kids grow up and age out of the network.
shareAll quite true. Although I am one of the outliers! I am of the Drake and Josh generation and still love watching Nick! Strangely enough, I am not really nostalgic. I love looking forward to the newest Nick and Disney shows and have no interest in re-watching the shows of my childhood. Drake and Josh repeats on teen Nick and I never watch.

The boys are all 10 and the girl is 11... Lizzy Greene (Dawn) has the same birthday as me (except I'm 2 years older).

They all look and dress like ten-year-olds but we're so used to seeing teenagers cast as younger children (and dressed like they're away on a night out instead of going to school) that they look younger than we expect.
It's good to see Nick producing shows about kids since most people watching it are eight to fourteen years old. Usually, after that age, most teenagers are watching teeny soaps or adult shows.

My granddaughter is 10 and has been watching Nick/Disney for 4 years. She loves the older Neds Declassified and Drake & Josh. This happens to be her fav right now
