Best Nickelodeon Show Ever

45 replies · 7,542 views · Started 07 July 2005

I pick Hey Dude, but it's close...
So many of these shows I wish I could obtain on DVD and watch again.

If I'm lacking a really awesome show from this era, let me know, so I can add it.
If you mention a show which I don't feel was awesome, I will berate you.

hmm...so many good ones. Id pick either Kenan and Kel or Are you afraid of the dark, although i liked many of the shows listed

fuck, you just cant choose 1... -_-

A!RM!, AYAotD, Doug, LotHT, Nick Arcade, Rocko, Rugrats, Spongebob, and the Secret World of AlexMax... (hah, you knew it was coming)

^ they all rate very highly for me.

if i had to pick just one... i guess Rocko would get it. <3 Rocko.

All That (back then with Ketan and Kel) was great. Also Salute your Shorts was awesome. Nowadays, the shows aren't as good, but they need to show more reruns of these shows. I would watch them totally. :P

I wonder why I can't vote...

Bah, no way in hell I could choose just one.

I have liked most of them at one time or another aside from a select few...but my absolute favorites would be:

Are you Afraid of the Dark
Doug
Rocko
Rugrats
Salute your Shorts

All of them were very good though. WL, you should make a Cartoon Network poll too...but in my opinion, Nickelodeon owns Cartoon Network aside from like...a very select few shows.

Are you TRYING to make my head explode? I swear, far too many good choices, and only one vote. What's Spongebob doing on the list, by the way? He's not from that era. But, if we were talking about current Nickelodean shows, I'd have to go with Fairly Oddparents, 'cause that show is great. Since I had to pick one, I'm gonna make a list.

Adventures of Pete & Pete
Clarissa Explains it All
Double Dare
Doug (this is what I finally voted for)
Rocko's Modern Life
Ren & Stimpy

I'd give anything to be able to watch old Nickelodean again. I heard that Clarissa Explains it All and The Adventures of Pete & Pete were coming to DVD, by the way. Oh, and I must add one more show to that list. Who could forget Mr. Wizard? I swear, woke up at 6:00 every morning just to catch that show.

I went with Rugrats.. that show is still pretty funny to watch. And I actually remember it before they cancelled it then later revived it and made this huge movie/spinoff/etc crazy deal out of it. Doug was good too until they brought it to ABC and got a different guy to do his voice (not even close to as good as the original).

I honestly never liked Ren & Stimpy much. I kinda liked it when it first came out but quickly realized how stupid it was.

Rocko's Modern Life
Ren & Stimpy (got those on DVD)
Invader Zim (got those on DVD)
Doug
Pete and Pete
AAAHH!!! Real Monsters!

I miss those shows... =\

EDIT: Anyone watch The Grim Adventure of Billy and Mandy on Cartoon Network? That's like my favorite show right now that hasn't been cancelled.

Legends of the Hidden Temple. That show was the fucking bomb.

Oh, you forgot one...The one where they run thru the fake house looking for clues..they trash the place. Scott Summers was the host on that too I think.

Some of those shows are still on one of the digital cable channels... I catch Ren & Stimpy and Rocko on occassion.

Anyhow, it's a toss up between Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life and Salute Your Shorts.

I picked Rocko.

LotHT fools. If it isn't the best show on that list then it's at least the best game show.

Almost all of those shows were high quality though, it's too bad Nick has gone down hill as much as it did.

Rugrats sucked, Rocko was the best, and Spongebob comes in a close second.

Hey Arnold is also really good I think.

I picked Nick Arcade but I think nostalgia definately clouded that choice. My runner-up would definately be Legends of the Hidden Temple. Nick had such good gameshow type shows.

Aw, so many choices. Most of the shows in that list are approximately 120% more interesting than the crap they air on Nickelodeon now.
In particular, "All That" was pretty cool back when Kenan and Kel were cast members. Remember when Chris Farley did a cameo in one of Kenan's segments? That was hilarious. I don't think it's a coincidence that Kenan is now a cast member on Saturday Night Live.
Last time I checked, Kablam and Rocko are still going on the "Nicktoons" channel, I think.

Oh man, so many good shows.

Pete and Pete, Rocko's Modern Life, Salute Your Shorts, Aaahh Real Monsters, Doug, Legends of the Hidden Temple (great game show), etc. It's hard to pick just one, but I have to go with Rocko's Modern Life. I really hope they release it on DVD soon, cause I'd love to watch it again. Same for Salute Your Shorts.

oh man, how could you forget Angry Beavers? that was the best show in the history of Nickelodeon

I remember that! Kenan had a cooking show where all he used was chocolate in everything. But Chris Farley came in and started squirting ketchup everywhere making Kenan super pissed off. Pretty funny stuff. Ofcourse I may have only found that funny because I was like 9 or something at the time...

Holy shit, I remember that episode too. Kenan kept saying "Har har har" in like a crappy french accent. Funny shit.

Legends of the Hidden Temple
Clarissa Explains it All
Global GUTS
Nick Arcade
Wild & Crazy Kids

Were all my favoites but I just had to vote for Pete and Pete. Yes, I'm a dork and freely admit it. I can't remember much about a couple of them on the list though, maybe I just wasn't allowed to watch them.

omg I remember that. That was hilarious! If someone could find a clip of that online that would be awesome.

THat show was Finders Keepers.

My favorite was probably Pete and Pete, and I have it on DVD now. That show owned.

I was a huge fan of Doug as a kid. I also remember they made a Doug series where the characters were slightly older, "Brand Spanking New Doug," but it aired on ABC.
