Nickelodeon's been owned by Viacom since 1985. Giving it to the original owners would basically just be giving it to Time-Warner, which, considering the fact that they already own Cartoon Network, would cause a shitload of problems. The old writers of SpongeBob left for various reasons, and most are unwilling to return. Besides, the second movie, set to be released in 2014, will end the series. While I do agree Viacom's ruining Nickelodeon, and the teen shows are mostly crappy, your points are retarded.
