Hey guys,
I've been watching a lot of 1990s Nicktoons thanks to TeenNick's late-night "The 90's Are All That" programming block, and it got me to thinking about how I'd rank my favorite Nicktoons in a Top 10/15/20 format.
For some reason, compiling lists of things has always appealed to me, and I hope there are others out there who enjoy it too, especially regarding this post.
So, I want to know what are everyone's Top 10 (minimum, max is 20) favorite Nicktoons that premiered between the dates of 1991 and 2002.
According to the Nicktoons Wiki page, there are 20 shows that meet the aforementioned criteria.
Here is the list in case you haven't already clicked on the link:
Doug (1991-1994)
Rugrats (1991-2004)
The Ren & Stimpy Show (1991-1996)
Rocko's Modern Life (1993-1996)
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters (1994-1997)
KaBlam! (1996-2000)
Hey Arnold! (1996-2004)
The Angry Beavers (1997-2001)
CatDog (1998-2004)
Oh Yeah! Cartoons (1998-2001)
The Wild Thornberrys (1998-2004)
Spongebob SquarePants (1999-Present)
Rocket Power (1999-2004)
Pelswick (2000-2002)
As Told By Ginger (2000-2009)
The Fairly OddParents (2001-Present)
Invader Zim (2001-2006)
Action League Now! (2002)
ChalkZone (2002-2009)
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2002-2006)
Again, keep it to a Top 10 minimum, but feel free to rank them up to 20. Of course, if you haven't seen a few of the shows, you can leave those off your list.
For the sake of starting things off with a bang, I'll rank all 20.
1. Rocko's Modern Life
2. Doug
3. The Ren & Stimpy Show
4. Rugrats
5. SpongeBob SquarePants
6. Hey Arnold!
7. Invader Zim*
8. Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
9. KaBlam!
10. The Fairly OddParents
11. The Angry Beavers
12. Action League Now!
13. The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
14. CatDog
15. Rocket Power
16. The Wild Thornberrys
17. As Told By Ginger
18. ChalkZone
19. Oh Yeah! Cartoons
20. Pelswick
*For now, as I've just started watching re-runs of Invader Zim.
I always used to say Rugrats was my favorite Nicktoon, but then I realized it was mainly for the first three seasons (65 eps) and not much after that. In comparison, my new Top 3 all had 53 or fewer episodes that are of equal significance, but their runs were cut short for whatever reason.
I'm a little torn on ranking The Angry Beavers ahead of Action League Now!, but everything else fits about where I'd expect it. I've got to be honest, I was never crazy about The Wild Thornberrys, and the rest of my bottom 5 consist of shows that I rarely watched (though I do like aspects of ChalkZone and Oh Yeah! Cartoons).
Oh, and I might have seen Pelswick once
; it is easily the most forgettable Nicktoon up to 2002.
