  by that time Nickelodeon could absolutely force things to be popular, or at least appear as though they were such

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  So did I.

  I personally enjoyed the show but I wasn't aware it could have been considered a hit???

  You know, I say "you can't force a hit" but then my mind turns to the music industry. It would explain a great many things.
  
  Anyway I never saw The Wild Thornberrys, though I do have some respect for Gábor Csupó.

  I know I talk about the business side of things too much, but that was definitely one shade of Nick's power

  
  

  They kept just about everything in people's faces that way

  
  

  And created the perception that these things were hits

  I'm not sure a lot of people even liked CatDog that much (though I know those who do/did) and that thing had a shitload of merch and tie-ins right out of the gate

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  Then they wanted it to make money and put out a lot of promotional merchandise. They didn't "force it to be a hit." There's just this weird implication to what you're saying here that's like, "I didn't like this, but there was a lot of merch of it, so therefore it was forced to be a hit!" Which is, uhhh, honestly really solipsistic.

  You got me

  
  

  I didn't find appeal in a lot of Nick's shows in this era

  “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

  And a lot of other people did.
  
  Also, like, how old are you?

  Depends on what Hit means.

  After all, Thornberries stopped airing while Spengbab prevails.
  

  
  

  Did the show have an audience that bought merch? Maybe. I never heard anyone hyping up Thornberry merc at all, however their ties with animals led them some additional merch opportunities in zoo-like establishments.
  

  
  

  They pushed the show the best they could.
