Stumbled on this while looking at things on my iPhone...To sum it up quickly? Its amazing, 15 minutes of REALLY COOL STUFF...Steampunk action-adventure starring a girl who oddly doesnt get on your nerves...Also a MAD SCIENTIST? And did i say STEAMPUNK?

So why wasnt it made? This site sheds light on it:

From another site:

"You might think that Nick passed on Constant Payne, which would've been heavy on adventure and little to laugh about -- all Nicktoons are either light comedy Nicktoons, such as SpongeBob and Rugrats, or light adventure Nicktoons with some sitcomesque elements, like Rocket Power or Thornberrys. The real story, according to Micah, is that he attempted to unionise the employees at Nicktoons Studios, where Constant Payne was produced; the unionisation, and the accompanying strike, was necessary, as Nick is making a huge profit off the Nicktoons produced at the studio (US$800 million annually), but they're not sharing a single penny with the writers. In retaliation to Micah's efforts, Nick not only cancelled the project, they also tried to make sure that no other studio was able to hire him (those efforts were unsuccessful).

This event may also be the one that brought Nicktoons Studios to its knees -- Nick is now starting to get its programming from other studios (examples include anything by Klasky-Csupo, the Jimmy Neutron series (produced in Texas), and Sunday Movie Toons by DIC). The studio's almost shut down following the cancellations of Hey Arnold (due to unamicable terms with its creator, Craig Bartlett) and Invader Zim (huge fan base, but costly to make), plus the cessation of production of SpongeBob, as the animator wanted to work on the movie. There are rumors that the studios would be used for Nick's live-action programs, as well as office space for Nick's executives.

Micah is currently shopping around other studios that would pick up Constant Payne. But, while he got back the rights to his characters, Nick still owns the pilot, and whoever gets the series won't be able to produce it until the pay Nick for the pilot. And with the goings on that happened, paying for that pilot may be tougher than producing the show itself."

Sadly this was years ago, the last news was in 2002 I think it will never happen... Just a reminder how much Nickelodeon sucks sometimes -_-
