All jokes aside this would be a dope college course for those who are studying animation, digital design, or entertainment overall. What Nickelodeon did back then along with Cartoon Network is what shapes today’s animation for both kids and adults.

Appreciate you starting with covering QUBE! It’s usually only brought up as a footnote when discussing Nickelodeon, but it was WAY ahead of its time, especially considering it was a product of the analogue era.

[@Venom3254]

From Pinwheel to Rugrats being the start to the og Nicktoons empire. To SpongeBob's rise, to reign of conquer of Nickelodeon that pushed the series into meme culture and to pop culture immortality. As a fan of SpongeBob, I really didn't expect SpongeBob to actually elevate to pop culture immortality that overshadowed The Simpsons, without needing any guest celebs or parodying them in its prime.

Between this documentary and the one Saberspark put out earlier today on Klasky Csupo, I got a major blast from the past history lesson. I was the prime target early 90's child and Doug being the first cartoon besides Looney Toons I could remember. I remember a lot of these cartoons fondly alongside the live action shows like GUTS, LOTHT, Double Dare 2000, All That, Figure It Out, and more. I know a lot of people will say their generation's childhood was the best, but late 90's kids really had it the best in terms of entertainment.

I'm a huge fan of Nickelodeon cartoons! Being a 90s kid, I practically grew up glued to the TV watching both Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. It would be amazing if you could dedicate a whole week to 'A Complete Cartoon Network Timeline' (Cartoon Network 101). Can't wait!

[@nostalgiamostalgia0319]

Thanks for making this! I am amazed about how the styles and dictions of these shows changed overtime.

[@Rojiace]

It's funny how many shows Klasky Csupo was behind on NickToons. Each of them being great in their own ways. NickToons to me was something that was experimental in the 90's, where each show was so different from the other, and as more time passed we see them going for more safe options to mostly focusing on the live action series, and filling up the line up with SpongeBob. Would love to see more history even if it isn't just Nick

I was in a focus group for All Grown Up once upon a time. Two hours of questions, pictures and clips and I left with enough cash to get the Psychic Electric pre-con Pokémon deck. $9.99 and it’s now worth $300.

You did a very good job on this, and I liked your insight! We will all miss the old school Nickelodeon! I’m glad they finally did make Hey Arnold jungle movie though! I was a big member of Operation Ruthless! Still have some at not all of the new school stuff was bad. I really liked I am Frankie and I think that was one of their better shows in a long time. Can you probably do a video on that show?

The sad thing is Nickelodeon started out with one of the best cartoon line- ups the world has ever seen they have a great cast of characters both old and new but now they don't want to take advantage of that anymore it's just pathetic the only cartoon they seem to care about these days is their mascot SpongeBob.

Great video man as someone who grew up with and loved Nickelodeon it nice to know the history of the channel

[@CosplayingwithChad]

Great video Shawn, I used to watch Rugrats religiously and when SpongeBob SquarePants premiered I loved it as well, I still remember the Patchy the Pirate mini series where he was on a treasure hunt for the lost episode of SpongeBob, I also remember watching the premiere of Avatar the Last Airbender. Ahh! Real Monsters was another favorite of mine, and as Told by Ginger is a great show as well. I’m glad we finally got a satisfying conclusion to Hey! Arnold and Invader Zim.👍👽🏈🧑‍🦲

[@archieblue2801]

klasky Csupo was nickleodeon at one point & they created one of my all-time favourite cartoons Rugrats plus a few other shows I really liked. Rugrats really captivated me when I was really young, I would constantly play the few vhs tapes I owned over & and over, never getting sick of it.The 'Ba ba' sound is pure nostalgia.

[@AgentMarcx]

I normally listen to your videos while im at work. This was a great listen! Id totally tune in for more like this.

[@TheMimic12]

14:44 It's important to point out that 1994 is when Nickelodeon's parent company Viacom bought Paramount which led to Nickelodeon having access to Paramount's home video division as a corporate sibling compared to the much smaller scale operation Viacom had going before for home video.

[@ArchiesMom518]

Nickelodeon screwed Hey Arnold over but hey 15 years after it ended we finally were able to get the campaign to work and got the one they really wanted to give us

Excellent video, Shawn!👍 Very informative!

[@MusiciansRule07]

Some of my best childhood memories involve Nickelodeon in the background. My big sister and I would watch Kablam! every time it came on the screen and I memorized Hey Arnold! episodes so well that when it was on Telemundo, I could translate it in real time. And All That and Figure it Out shaped my sense of humor. It was sad to hear about how a lot of The Powers that Be behind the network were on that predatory Cupcake Bandit energy like dear ol' Danny Boy but overall? I am always gonna love Nickelodeon. It's not just cartoons, they're NICKtoons! ❤️

38:18 Reminder that Korra was originally a MINISERIES, so when the 40-episode 3 book order happened as the first book was airing the year+ delay until Book 2 made a lot of sense. The lack of production security? Not so much

Man, toddler me saw the premieres of 'Doug' and 'Rugrats', 'Rocko', and SNICK...and ten years after I watched the premiere of 'Real Monsters' in '94, I watched the premiere of 'Danny Phantom':):) I think it was during the video about the sports competition that there was a clip showing two people on a talk show in Arnold and Ickis costumes, and I haven't been able to find out what that is to watch it...I used to love those two most of all and had action figures of them, so seeing them side by side like that is amazing;)

I don't know if this counts as a memory, but it's kind of fun story I've been told that I have a couple flash memories of because I was so young (maybe 3 o4), but I got slimed as a kid! Not on TV or anything, just saw some show/presentation at nickelodeon studios and I guess they invited kids to come up to get slimed, I think in one of those plastic kiddie pools or something like that. But I have a lot of fond memories of those 90s and early 00s shows. Such huge parts of my childhood!

[@patcahill3724]

"Not just cartoons, we're Nicktoons!"

[@DigiRangerScott]

23:20 It should probably have been noted that some of these Nicktoons ends were very prolonged, and seemingly not by production issues but the network just…holding onto episodes for however long. I’m pretty sure Hey Arnold was wrapped in 2001

[@03bgood]

2004 was probably the last truly great year for Nickelodeon! Everything got worse after that year and has never recovered since! Funny how Cartoon Network got a resurgence (from 2010-2016) but Nickelodeon never did.

Even though All Grown Up and Chalkzone technically aired their last episodes in 2008, Nickelodeon had already buried them long before. Both those shows would air extremely infrequently, and their last episodes were aired without warning.

[@BeeKee404]

Looking back, I think the Nickelodeon shows I find myself still watching to this day as an adult either as a new(ish) viewer or a nostalgic viewer are Spongebob, Avatar The Last Airbender, As Told By Ginger, Legend of Korra, Rugrats and All Grown Up. Honorable mentions are Kablam, Jimmy Neutron, The Amanda Show, and Kenan and Kel. The other shows I either never really got into or just no longer really think about. Also I know some of these shows have nothing to do with Nicktoons but just felt like mentioning them anyway 😂

[@RootVictin1]

You forgot to mention making fiends and yes its a nicktoon it was really mistreated.

Is it just me or does it seem like SpongeBob and FOP gave Nick an impossible standard for all the other toons after that?

[@bingofromblueyfan]

I will admit that I’m happy that Nick is kinda going back to the older feel and they’re even making more shows for both Nick and Nick jr also Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon have actually been neck and neck in the ratings as of recently when Disney channel’s ratings are in the decline and have been since 2010

[@jackomon1129]

I will say, I want to see more Nicktoons 101, I am curious. As for my memories with Nicktoons, well, when it comes to the Nick Channels, I started watching them around 2006 (When I was 8 years old), so there's a lot of early Nick Shows I have missed out on (prior 2006, I watched SpongeBob & Rugrats, but not sure what else). Honestly, my most cherished memory regarding Nicktoons is getting up in the morning to watch Yu-Gi-Oh GX (it aired on the UK Nick channel) & Avatar: The Last Airbender. As time has gone on, my memories of Nick have gotten quite vague, so any other memories I have of it has gotten hazy over the years.

[@AwkwardSegway95]

I'm surprised that My Life as a Teenage Robot lasted as long as it did. I don't remember it even still being on tv by the time I stopped watching Nick.

[@thomasjones4306]

Whoa, I was a 90’s kid and I did notice the advertisements were less back then and none on nick show. I felt like now customers are paying too much for ads than what they want to watch.

I'm 33 and was definitely a nick kid, but my son's 8 now and honestly without og SpongeBob he would be a Disney kid. Gravity falls alone could have convinced me as a kid to switch sides. The quality of cartoons on Nick was noticeably impacted after the exit of klasky csupo, even with SP and fairly odd parents. I quickly switched to the Simpsons😂
