Nickelodeon, perhaps the most successful kids network in the United States, will be reaching 35 years next year. Nickelodeon has done some great things during their time. They made many very successful shows, and gave many kids across the nation many fond memories. However, recently, the network's ratings have dropped, and the channel has gotten negative reviews. Plus, 2015 will also have some important stuff for SpongeBob SquarePants, it's likely the network won't celebrate this important milestone in their life, unless someone does something about it. That person will be me. Nickelodeon, we want you to listen to us and celebrate your anniversary next year. And here's how it should be done:
* Reopen the touring area of Nickelodeon Studios in Universal Studios Florida. Nickelodeon Studios closed down in 2005, and was replaced be the Blue Man Group Sharp Aquos Theatre in 2007, and continues to this day. However, some people have found out that the touring area remains the same way it used to be before it closed down. Plus, many people have demanded that they bring it back. If you just re open it for 2014, it will definitely bring in a lot of attention. Also, bring back the gak kitchen and hand out free gak and slime, and bring back the game lab were you can do stuff you used to do there, and put signs of various Nickelodeon live-action shows from over the years. But just do it for 2014.
* Bring back Nickelodeon Magazine. Nickelodeon Magazine stopped in 2009 due to low circulation numbers. However, bringing back this magazine for 2014 would be great for anyone who grew up in the 1990s and the 2000s. Make it the way it was before, not like the UK version of the magazine. Incorporate stuff from Nickelodeon of all time periods and include news about what's going on with Nickelodeon then. Also, give every subscriber the option of having each issue either digital, physical, or one of both. And publish 1 issue each month of 2014. You don't have to continue it after that.
* Have a huge one week marathon from August 11 to August 17 of 2014 on Nicktoons. One of the things that made Nickelodeon unique from other channels was that they had their own original cartoons called Nicktoons. Nicktoons have had a huge impact on the channel. Having a 168 hour marathon of them on Nicktoons would be great. Include Nicktoons from all time periods.
* Celebrate the 15th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants during that time. Arguably the most successful Nicktoon of all time, SpongeBob SquarePants will reach 15 years next year. With the show's 200th episode next year, and the release of SpongeBob SquarePants 2 in 2015, don't throw a huge event next year. But, have 12 hour marathon of the show on July 17, and then after ends, air a half hour special which will lead up to the network's 35th anniversary special which I will discuss soon. To promote release toys from Hasbro, including LCD handheld games from Tiger Electronics, and with Mcdonald's, with 15 different happy meal toys, SpongeBob Arch Cards,  SpongeBob Chicken Mcnuggets, and 4 watches for $1.99 each with any food purchase.

* Have a two day marathon of classic sitcoms from 8/2/14 to 8/4/14 on TV Land, a two day marathon of live-action shows on TeenNick from 8/9/14 to 8/11/14, a two day marathon of Nick Jr. shows on Nick Jr. from 8/16/14 to 8/18/14, a marathon of NIck@Nite shows from 7/18/14 to 8/18/14, and marathons on The '90s Are All That from 8/11/14 to 8/18/14.

* Have a huge tv event on your network. Starting on July 18 of 2014, have a huge 35th anniversary celebration, with a different kind of all day marathon every up until August 18 of 2014. It can be any kid of theme like, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, Nicktoons, live-action shows, game shows, SpongeBob SquarePants, movies, Kids Choice Awards, etc. Also, use old Nickelodeon bumpers from all eras. Before the special airs, air the first full hour of Nickelodeon from 1979 on August 18.

* Make a 35th anniversary Nickelodeon special called the Nickelodeon 35th Anniversay Spectacular! to air on August 18 of 2014. Make it a special that no other Nicktoon has ever gone on before, and include all the main cast of characters from these following shows:
