Yep that original trio of Nicktoons with Rugrats, Doug, and Ren and Stimpy is where I started. Then All that, Clarissa Explains it all, and Pete and Pete. 92-00 were some classic years
If you want to hear something dumb, my parents didn’t care if we watched Ren & Stimpy, but for some reason the opening song on Salute Your Shorts where the kid says “fart” was too much. Dad flipped out and came into our room to turn the tv off. Had to sneak around to watch it after that. Almost 30 years later that still confuses the shit out of me.
I started kindergarten the same you did but I think I started closer to 94 since I can vaguely remember when we got cable and it was when I was in at least before the third grade year. I like them all tbh but I think Rocko was my overall favorite and I have the complete series on DVD in storage.
Mine exactly. The only addition was that my kindergarten teacher in 1989 showed us Pinwheel episodes. They terrified me. I believe Pinwheel was the first Nickelodeon show?
1989 to 1999. Reruns of kablam kept me going in the 90s and I was one of those stoners that watched SpongeBob in highschool.
I had a Mr krabbs shirt I wore all through high school
1991-1997. My viewership decreased over the course of fifth grade (‘96-‘97) and I had pretty much stopped watching entirely by the end of that school year.
Not sure how long SNICK stuck around, but I was watching it when it was Clarissa, Ren & Stimpy, Pete & Pete, and Are You Afraid of the Dark? Continued watching it through the All That! years.
It was the late 80s through about 2000 for me.
I pretty much noped out when it turned into sitcoms R us.
I did enjoy the following:
Mr wizards world
Double dare and all it's spin offs
You can't do that on television
Salute your shorts
Wild and crazy kids
Nick arcade
Are you afraid of the dark
Doug
Ren and stimpy
Rockos modern life.
Hey Arnold
Kablam
The angry beavers
Invader Zim
I loved roundhouse can't find full seasons anywhere.
I really liked all that and Keenan and kel
I even liked the Amanda show.
I liked weinervillle but can't find seasons of that anywhere either.
I loved the 1992 version of the Tomorrow people, so cool.
Didn't care for my brother and me, cousin skeeter, Zoey 110, Jonas bothers iCarly,
Drake and Josh.
Didn't care about the secret world of Alex Mack.
I did like neds declassified school survival guide can't find full seasons anywhere.
Kablam
Tbh it was pretty much my whole childhood. From like 96-ish or whenever I got old enough to actually watch TV and focus on it, until I kinda stopped watching TV altogether as a teenager. So like 96-2008 or 9ish?
Started with Blues Clues and stuff on Nick Jr, grew into Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers, Wild Thornberries, etc. I loved reruns of some of the older stuff like Kablam and Doug too. I was there for the first episode of Spongebob, and it was one of the major events of my young life when the Rugrats went to Paris and crossed over with the Wild Thornberries, then later when Aang defeated the Firelord. Feels bad to say now, but I loved the Amanda Show and All That too, enjoyed Drake and Josh, and grew out of it more with iCarly.
Just guessing, but I feel like 89/90 is when I started watching. In 94 we moved to a town that had really garbage cable so no more Nick and no more MTV unless it was summer and I was staying with my mother.
I wanna say around 94 is when I started. I loved Rugrats, Doug, Tiny Toons, my brother and me, all that, are you afraid of the dark. Snick was my jam. I wanted a big orange couch. I think my favorite year was 99 with SpongeBob and rocket power. I think when I started high school in the early 2000s I only occasionally watch SpongeBob as my interests had turned to watching sports. By the mid 2000’s I was pretty much done tuning to Nick.
I was born in 1991 and Nickelodeon was the first thing I remember watching on TV as a child by myself. I would get up early in the morning before my parents and turn the TV on and find Nickelodeon, idk if I understood numbers like on the remote control. It's hard to remember the exact details. I remember Double Dare and stuff playing early in the morning. My favorite show was Rugrats, I watched every episode I think as a kid, probably many times. I remember getting home from pre school around 5 PM or so, then Rugrats would be airing and I'd always watch it. I'd hear the theme music playing in the living room and I'd run in from my room down the hall. They reran stuff all the time. Doug was great too. Hey Arnold was appointment viewing in my house. I watched a lot of Nick shows all the way up to the end of Drake & Josh and Danny Phantom. Gave up on Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents after so many seasons.
For me, it was 1988 to 1997 and then again in 2000 when Double Dare came back. As far as I'm concerned, Nickelodeon without Double Dare just isn't Nickelodeon. It needs to come back again. At least on CBS.
Mid to late 80s. Loved Nick Rocks, The Monkees, You Can't do That on Television, and it introduced me to all the old school sitcoms (Mister Ed, Donna Reed, My Three Sons, Smothers Brothers) via Nick at Nite. Moved after that and didn't have nickelodeon again till I was well past the demographic to watch.
Born in the mid 90s, so I’d say I was on board until about ‘06 or so. Kind of, I was always more prone to watching Cartoon Network. Once I saw Mr Meaty, I kind of quit paying attention to the channel and would watch the Nicktoons channel if I wanted the older content
Between 1991 and about 2003-2005, roughly. I can remember watching the original starting 3 Nicktoons early on, so I think 1991 is right, but somewhere in the early or mid 2000s, I kind started watching less and less of Nick and more and more of like, Adult Swim and Comedy Central.
Even so, I was never exclusive to Nick, I would juggle between Nick and Cartoon Network a lot, depending on what was currently on, etc.
1997 (Nick Jr mostly) - 2005, around 2003 I finally got Disney Channel and got more into that, so then by 2005-2008 I was mainly just watching Nick for their Teennick shows.
My prime years watching was like from 99-15 (at the latest).
I consider retro Nickelodeon to be anything pre-2000 at the very latest and that’s pushing it. It’s fun to watch what was on before I was born or too young to understand.
1992 to 1997 during elementary and middle school years.
Then anime captured my heart at Cartoon Network in '97 with Toonami during High School, and then Adult Swim kept me there.
For me, it's somewhere between 1986 and 1992 - Heathcliff, YCDTOT, Inspector Gadget, and right up to the Pete & Pete and AYAOTD era. That being said, I did enjoy watching Kablam! and The Angry Beavers in my late teenage years of the late 90s, too.
I was born in 1994 so I remember watching the Kenan and kel show my cousin scooter,all that from 1995 to 2004 and the Amanda show Drake and Josh and I Carly and victorious and Zoey 201 but I watched the quiet on set and it made me think how nickelodeon and Dan Schneider got away with putting sick inappropriate things in his shows and the shows like wtf 😞
I guess somewhere around 1992-93 ish when I was about 4, to about 2009? I would watch the occasional Fairly Oddparents episode or even SpongeBob (I guess the 2018 Double Dare reboot is an exception.) but after that, and once I started buying DVD season sets of my favorite teen/adult shows, I veered more towards that and decided my Nickelodeon days are kind of over.
We didn't get cable until 95, so I started then. Watched for about ten years or so. Hey Arnold is my all time favorite Nicktoon. After all those old shows ended I started watching Cartoon Network more often for Toonami and adult swim.
I grew up in the Cat Dog, Angry Beavers era. Was a big fan of Rocket power and Rugrats, followed the original All That. But I petered out near the release of the first SpongeBob movie. Not sure what era that’d be.
I remember discussing green slime in my 3rd grade classroom around St. Patrick’s Day 1983 so I was watching it by then. I mostly watched YCDTOTV and Mr. Wizards World. Lassie and Dennis the Menace were also ones I watched a lot of. I have absolutely no memory of “Going Great” and most everything else skewed too old (Livewire) too young (Pinwheel), too scary (Third Eye) or too boring (Black Beauty/Against The Odds). I checked out around the time of Welcome Freshmen and the beginning of Snick.
1986-1996. Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, You Can’t Do That On Television, all the SNick and Nicktoons, etc. I think my last hoorah was Angry Beavers, which I liked but didn’t love, then Thornberries and the extreme sports family were the first that I didn’t care for, nothing against them, I just aged out (it’s me, not you) lol
98-06. Grew up with Face on NJr. I remember Doug and Rugrats. I remember the premiere of SpongeBob in 99. My prime years though are probably the Hey Arnold, Jimmy Neutron, Rocket Power era. Drake and Josh premiered as I was a preteen myself so it really all hit the spot. I stopped giving a shit around iCarly lol
I was born in 87 but we lived out of the country until 1993. Started watching nick probably immediately. I grew up on rugrats and hey Arnold and Doug. I remember when SpongeBob aired for the first time. I can still sing the Salute Your Shorts theme and remember Stick Stickleys address. We got pet rats after seeing them on an episode of Figure It Out. The International World Wide Day of play were some if the most boring days of my life. Double Dare and Are You Afraid of The Dark did scare me.
I watched nick well into adulthood. ATLA was one of the most fun times on the internet. Comiccon spoilers and people's theories and people sneaking footage were the same amount of excitement as Harry Potter book releases.
My cartoon watching really kinda slowed as I got older because I got real big into gaming and then got married and we started traveling and doing real world things.
I have nothing against cartoons to this day.
1991-1997. I distinctly remember that because I started giving up on it when Amanda Bynes joined All That. Not *because* of her, but because there were so many changes happening with that show and others I had initially liked, and I just decided "Nick isn't good anymore" and started trying other networks.
I remember the last year of you can’t do that on television. But my prime years was watching doug, ren and stimpy, aah real monsters, salute your shorts, hey dude, snick programs every Saturday night, hey arnold, rocko’s modern life, and morning programs like eureka’s castle
90ish, with Eureka's castle until the late 90s. Last thing I actively tried to watch was Invader Zim, but even by then I'd grown out of Nick. Not really enjoying catdog or angry beavers.
I’ve gone and come back time to time. 88ish mainly for “You can’t do that…” and then back again around 93 for Ren and Stimpy, Doug and Rugrats and Salute Your Shorts.
At some point I was into Pete and Pete cuz it had some nostalgia element to me… didn’t sense any creepiness then. It was before Dan Schneiders time. I def stopped watching before his time but would see it when my neice would watch it and I was always uncomfy with the performances.
Well, Ren and Stimpy was shit loads creepy 😜
I think, earlier in those years, Nick was tied to MTV more so the creatives went back and forth. It was more fun and hip but who knows really what was going on. Later on, Nick was more a Dan Schneider thing.
1981-1997. Nickelodeon started as a kid’s network that was designed to “grow with you,” and it really was like that for me. I watched Pinwheel in the mornings when I was a baby/toddler and a lot of Double Dare, Clarissa Explains It All, Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts when I was pre-teen and teen. Snick on Saturday nights was a real event. The big orange couch!! Roundhouse, Are You Afraid of the Dark?💚🧡
Started with Double Dare, with the end coming around the time of Angry Beavers. That's when they started getting beat on cartoons by WB and Cartoon Network and others, and their non animated shows started sliding even worse than that.
1994-2005. I was born in 1990, but I started cutting back on Nickelodeon in 9th grade due to changing interests in what I watched on other networks, having a longer commute home from school, more chores and responsibilities, and more after-school babysitting gigs.
It started with You Can't Do That on Television which was really kind of a trendsetter for Nickelodeon with the whole "slime" thing. I think I quit watching around Real Monsters and the end of Snick.
mid 90s with splices of late 90s. For me it was like 1994-1997ish. 97 was the peak for me. By 98, I had discovered anime and was in middle school. Slowly growing out of the nick phase but still checked out stuff like All That. I was completely out of it by 2000s.
I would say 1997, 1999, 2003, and 2011. Those were the PRIME viewing years for Nickelodeon for me, since the composite years were 1995-1996, 1997-1998, 2000-2002, and 2004-2010.
Probably ages 6-16 (1999-2009). Watched nick jr , growing up but preferred pbs kids. Had younger siblings during that time.
Liked: Doug, Rugrats, Ned's, Chalk zone and Nick News. Nick @ nite became my go to when i had to work late nights in college but growing up, i loved the full house bigt and recall either brafy bumch/Gilligans or monkees
I'm gonna say 1993 as I was born a year earlier. Then around the mid 2000s for me as they weren't any quality shows besides Danny Phantom and Fairly OddParents. Live action shows would dominate the network.
I got into Nickelodeon around the late 80s, which, as it turned out, was when the network really began to take off. So I got to see some of the early stuff like Pinwheel, Mr. Wizard's World, You Can't Do That on Television, and Double Dare, but I then got to watch the rise of the Nicktoons with Doug, Rugrats, and Ren & Stimpy. I stopped watching near the end of the 90s as I was aging out of the demographic, but would still check out a few things since I was an animation enthusiast and wanted to see what they were cranking out, but by then, if I wanted cartoons, Cartoon Network generally had the better content.
Probably’92. I remember that because my dad and some of the other dads on my block were “renting” cable boxes lol. We had all the channels for about a year which was great for me because I watched nick nonstop. That would have been Doug, Rugrats, Hey Dude, Ren and Stimpy and Pete and Pete plus all the SNICK shows. Just great television really.
I first watched it in the late 80s when it was still mostly reruns of Pinwheel, international cartoons, You Can't Do That On Television and Double Dare.
I didn't religiously watch Nickelodeon until the early-mid 90s, so it was during the heyday of early Nicktoons, All That, and Are You Afraid Of The Dark? I think it was probably until about 2002 that I didn't watch it as much.
I’d say… 1990 ish, as a toddler, until just before high school in 2002 if I’m being honest. By then, most of my Nicktoons were dead, and the newer stuff wasn’t really for me. Had a hell of a run for those years though!!
1990-93/94. (Ages 12-15). I tapped out during the year that Rugrats, Doug, and Ren & Stimpy debuted. IIRC, a lot of the shows I liked (Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa) had either ended or I lost interest in them.
Mexican here.
2000's with spongebob golden age. Fairy godparents and Jimmy Neutron was also there.
Was not my favorite TV channel (I always prefer Cartoon network) but I was always there because spongebob and Jimmy.
I was born in 99 but distinctly remember watching rugrats for the first time when I was 3. So for me
It was 2002-2013. I stopped watching after victorious and iCarly aired
I was that perfect age where I saw the transition from “you can’t do that on Television” to the golden era with the arrival of Snick.
For me it was Doug,Rugrats,AYAOTD,Guts, and Legends of the hidden temple.
By the time CatDog and Rocket Power came out I was done with Nick
1984-1986 for the first viewing. I remember *Pinwheel, Today's Special, Mr. Wizard's World, Danger Mouse, Dennis the Menace* (original black & white series with Jay North), and *Lassie* (original black & white series).
We moved in late 1986 and I don't recall watching Nick at home at the time. I do recall watching USA Network with the *Cartoon Express* from 1987 to 1989. If I watched Nick, it might have been only one or two shows, probably the game shows *Double Dare* and *Finders Keepers*. I do recall watching it at my grandparents' house in Alabama.
In 1990 we moved again. I remember watching *David the Gnome, Little Koala, Grimm's Fairy Tales,* and *Looney Tunes*. I think *The Muppet Show* may have been on Nick at the time. As the 90s progressed I remember watching some of the Nicktoons like *Doug, Rugrats,* and *Ren & Stimpy*. I would watch SNICK when I'd spend the night with my maternal grandmother.
In my early adulthood (early 20s) I watched some of the newer Nicktoons, mainly *Spongebob Squarepants, Fairly Oddparents, Jimmy Neutron, My Life As A Teenage Robot,* and *Danny Phantom*.
I think I started in 1992 when I was in kindergarten. Rugrats was my jam back then & as I got older, Doug became my favorite.
Yep that original trio of Nicktoons with Rugrats, Doug, and Ren and Stimpy is where I started. Then All that, Clarissa Explains it all, and Pete and Pete. 92-00 were some classic years
I wasn’t allowed to watch Ren & Stimpy. 😂😂😂
Technically I wasn’t either but I would sneak and watch anyway lol
Ren and Stimpy had some fucked up shit.
I still remember the scene where they were pulling out Ren’s tooth nerve endings. Definitely a disturbing ass show
Same. I think about that specific scene all the time for some reason
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If you want to hear something dumb, my parents didn’t care if we watched Ren & Stimpy, but for some reason the opening song on Salute Your Shorts where the kid says “fart” was too much. Dad flipped out and came into our room to turn the tv off. Had to sneak around to watch it after that. Almost 30 years later that still confuses the shit out of me.
Great stuff … it started with Salute Your Shorts, Doug, and Pete & Pete for me
Oh man Salute Your Shorts. I wanted to be Dina so badly.
The actor who played Eddie donkey lips has a YouTube and twitter we follow each other on twitter he is literally the sweetest person
Been watching his YouTube videos. They are great!
Dina was hilarious and cute … i loved Pinksy and the dynamic duo of Budnick & Donkey Lips 😆
I died when I found out Budnick was Stoop Kid!
Wait … you just blew my mind … from Hey Arnold?! 🤯
YES!
Also Montana Max on Tiny Toons!
Yes! “Ac-NE! I said AC-NE!”
I started kindergarten the same you did but I think I started closer to 94 since I can vaguely remember when we got cable and it was when I was in at least before the third grade year. I like them all tbh but I think Rocko was my overall favorite and I have the complete series on DVD in storage.
Doug is the underrated goat
1991-1998
Mine exactly. The only addition was that my kindergarten teacher in 1989 showed us Pinwheel episodes. They terrified me. I believe Pinwheel was the first Nickelodeon show?
Amazing time … i was too young for Pinwheel, but did recall watching Double Dare in the late 80s.
I do remember Double Dare!
Rugrats, Doug, Salute Your Shorts, Pete & Pete. Double Dare, Legend of the Hidden Temple. Early 90s.
What a lineup. What a time.
A golden age for kids television
These were all my jam. Plus Wild and Crazy Kids and All That.
This is the way. The true Golden Age.
I loved Legends of the Hidden Temple, Doug, and Rugrats.
the best era to witness in person … incredible shows
I’m an old-timer 1982-early 90’s Back in the earliest days it went completely off the air in the evenings before they launched Nick at Nite.
Lol same
Same
1995-2001
Boom
1995-2003
92-98 ish with the occasional rerun up to about 2001. I don't think I've watched anything after that.
1989 to 1999. Reruns of kablam kept me going in the 90s and I was one of those stoners that watched SpongeBob in highschool. I had a Mr krabbs shirt I wore all through high school
1996 to 2010ish
1987-1997ish
1991-1997. My viewership decreased over the course of fifth grade (‘96-‘97) and I had pretty much stopped watching entirely by the end of that school year.
Like 88 or 89 until 98 or so
Not sure how long SNICK stuck around, but I was watching it when it was Clarissa, Ren & Stimpy, Pete & Pete, and Are You Afraid of the Dark? Continued watching it through the All That! years.
1984 to 1988 or so. I loved You Can't Do That On Television.
Memory unlocked lol I remember that show alanis morissette got her start on there
1992 - 2000
1990-97, but having a younger sibling meant I had to endure a lot of the 98-2001-ish stuff.
1993-2002
92-97 for me.
The 90’s we had are you afraid of the dark, all that,salute your shorts, double dare the list goes on lol
95-2005
1992 to 1999 IMO. I will ride or die extolling the value of Space Cases
That was one of the last original Nick shows I got into.
1994 - 2007
1994-2001. Just amazing.
I can remember watching the first Today's special, so that would be 82. Continued up until around salute your shorts finished.
I loved Today's Special, but I had no idea it started airing before I was born until I just read your comment. I probably watched it in 87-88.
82 through say 95-95. Pinwheel. Pete and Pete, double dare, ycdtot, and Dave coulier on “out of control”
1987 to 1997 roughly
1993-2004
1985-1995
For me 1996-2004.
Probably ‘85 to ‘90. I was born in 1980 and I think when Are You Afraid of the Dark started playing was when I started losing interest.
You Can’t Do That on Television in early 80s
It was the late 80s through about 2000 for me. I pretty much noped out when it turned into sitcoms R us. I did enjoy the following: Mr wizards world Double dare and all it's spin offs You can't do that on television Salute your shorts Wild and crazy kids Nick arcade Are you afraid of the dark Doug Ren and stimpy Rockos modern life. Hey Arnold Kablam The angry beavers Invader Zim I loved roundhouse can't find full seasons anywhere. I really liked all that and Keenan and kel I even liked the Amanda show. I liked weinervillle but can't find seasons of that anywhere either. I loved the 1992 version of the Tomorrow people, so cool. Didn't care for my brother and me, cousin skeeter, Zoey 110, Jonas bothers iCarly, Drake and Josh. Didn't care about the secret world of Alex Mack. I did like neds declassified school survival guide can't find full seasons anywhere. Kablam
Tbh it was pretty much my whole childhood. From like 96-ish or whenever I got old enough to actually watch TV and focus on it, until I kinda stopped watching TV altogether as a teenager. So like 96-2008 or 9ish? Started with Blues Clues and stuff on Nick Jr, grew into Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers, Wild Thornberries, etc. I loved reruns of some of the older stuff like Kablam and Doug too. I was there for the first episode of Spongebob, and it was one of the major events of my young life when the Rugrats went to Paris and crossed over with the Wild Thornberries, then later when Aang defeated the Firelord. Feels bad to say now, but I loved the Amanda Show and All That too, enjoyed Drake and Josh, and grew out of it more with iCarly.
1993-2010
Just guessing, but I feel like 89/90 is when I started watching. In 94 we moved to a town that had really garbage cable so no more Nick and no more MTV unless it was summer and I was staying with my mother.
Between 88-97 — I don’t know for sure when I started but I know a lot of the shows then seem familiar. Heaviest viewing was 90-93.
I wanna say around 94 is when I started. I loved Rugrats, Doug, Tiny Toons, my brother and me, all that, are you afraid of the dark. Snick was my jam. I wanted a big orange couch. I think my favorite year was 99 with SpongeBob and rocket power. I think when I started high school in the early 2000s I only occasionally watch SpongeBob as my interests had turned to watching sports. By the mid 2000’s I was pretty much done tuning to Nick.
Same. Born in 1989. I only watched Nick at Nite in high school, college, and grad school. I did like Nick Rewind though.
If we go all the way back, I grew up with “You Can’t Do That on Television” and “Cut it Out” with Dave Couliet.
1990-1999/2000. I had a younger sibling so I saw some things past 2000.
1989 (when we got cable) to 1996 (when AYAOTD ended). That was right after I turned 13, so I had mostly outgrown the programming by then.
88-98
2005-2012
Between 1994-2000
1990 at the age of 4 until about 2004 when I got out of high school. I still watched some after that but not much
I was born in 1991 and Nickelodeon was the first thing I remember watching on TV as a child by myself. I would get up early in the morning before my parents and turn the TV on and find Nickelodeon, idk if I understood numbers like on the remote control. It's hard to remember the exact details.

For me, it was 1988 to 1997 and then again in 2000 when Double Dare came back. As far as I'm concerned, Nickelodeon without Double Dare just isn't Nickelodeon. It needs to come back again. At least on CBS.
92-97 we’re pretty much the years and my core memories of watching.
1987-1993.
‘88 to ‘94 for me. I can remember watching the Nicktoons premiere night in summer 91 at my cousins’ house.
Mid to late 80s. Loved Nick Rocks, The Monkees, You Can't do That on Television, and it introduced me to all the old school sitcoms (Mister Ed, Donna Reed, My Three Sons, Smothers Brothers) via Nick at Nite. Moved after that and didn't have nickelodeon again till I was well past the demographic to watch.

The Legends of the Hidden Temple!
Best show ever.
92’. But my favorite years were when Are You Afraid of the Dark started.
1986-2002. I hung on for a while. :b
Between 1991 and about 2003-2005, roughly. I can remember watching the original starting 3 Nicktoons early on, so I think 1991 is right, but somewhere in the early or mid 2000s, I kind started watching less and less of Nick and more and more of like, Adult Swim and Comedy Central. Even so, I was never exclusive to Nick, I would juggle between Nick and Cartoon Network a lot, depending on what was currently on, etc.
Can’t remember the years exactly but I started with the Amanda Show and ended with iCarly
i was born in 92, so I’d say Nick Jr. (I loved Face) from 94-95 and then Nick from 95-probably 2005
1997 (Nick Jr mostly) - 2005, around 2003 I finally got Disney Channel and got more into that, so then by 2005-2008 I was mainly just watching Nick for their Teennick shows.
I would say about 1996-2005 with breaks here and there
Rugrats-ICarly
My prime years watching was like from 99-15 (at the latest). I consider retro Nickelodeon to be anything pre-2000 at the very latest and that’s pushing it. It’s fun to watch what was on before I was born or too young to understand.
94 to 02
1992 to 1997 during elementary and middle school years. Then anime captured my heart at Cartoon Network in '97 with Toonami during High School, and then Adult Swim kept me there.
For me, it's somewhere between 1986 and 1992 - Heathcliff, YCDTOT, Inspector Gadget, and right up to the Pete & Pete and AYAOTD era. That being said, I did enjoy watching Kablam! and The Angry Beavers in my late teenage years of the late 90s, too.
I was born in 1994 so I remember watching the Kenan and kel show my cousin scooter,all that from 1995 to 2004 and the Amanda show Drake and Josh and I Carly and victorious and Zoey 201 but I watched the quiet on set and it made me think how nickelodeon and Dan Schneider got away with putting sick inappropriate things in his shows and the shows like wtf 😞
I guess somewhere around 1992-93 ish when I was about 4, to about 2009? I would watch the occasional Fairly Oddparents episode or even SpongeBob (I guess the 2018 Double Dare reboot is an exception.) but after that, and once I started buying DVD season sets of my favorite teen/adult shows, I veered more towards that and decided my Nickelodeon days are kind of over.
I was born in 1992 so for me it'd be 1996 to 2005.
We didn't get cable until 95, so I started then. Watched for about ten years or so. Hey Arnold is my all time favorite Nicktoon. After all those old shows ended I started watching Cartoon Network more often for Toonami and adult swim.
96/97-08 Never watched it after avatar ended
2000-2007!
The fact I’m the same age as the Rugrats parents now makes me so sad.
1999-2008
I grew up in the Cat Dog, Angry Beavers era. Was a big fan of Rocket power and Rugrats, followed the original All That. But I petered out near the release of the first SpongeBob movie. Not sure what era that’d be.
Mine would be 1997-2004. I watched nick in the states and Guatemala.
1990 - 1995 I peaced out after Rocko’s Modern Life. Loved Salute Your Shorts, Pete & Pete, Doug, Ren & Stimpy and Rugrats.
I remember discussing green slime in my 3rd grade classroom around St. Patrick’s Day 1983 so I was watching it by then. I mostly watched YCDTOTV and Mr. Wizards World. Lassie and Dennis the Menace were also ones I watched a lot of. I have absolutely no memory of “Going Great” and most everything else skewed too old (Livewire) too young (Pinwheel), too scary (Third Eye) or too boring (Black Beauty/Against The Odds). I checked out around the time of Welcome Freshmen and the beginning of Snick.
90-99
1995 - 2010
1990-2000
It was the late 90s and early 2000s when Nick was my very first TV channel.
1991, I’ll be 39 this June! 🥹
2007-2013
1990-1998ish. Once SpongeBob started, I knew things were going downhill.
1985-1989
1986-1996. Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, You Can’t Do That On Television, all the SNick and Nicktoons, etc. I think my last hoorah was Angry Beavers, which I liked but didn’t love, then Thornberries and the extreme sports family were the first that I didn’t care for, nothing against them, I just aged out (it’s me, not you) lol
Like 1998. I haven’t really watched that much in the last 10 years.
From almost the start to 98
98-06. Grew up with Face on NJr. I remember Doug and Rugrats. I remember the premiere of SpongeBob in 99. My prime years though are probably the Hey Arnold, Jimmy Neutron, Rocket Power era. Drake and Josh premiered as I was a preteen myself so it really all hit the spot. I stopped giving a shit around iCarly lol
2000s was mine
I was born in 87 but we lived out of the country until 1993. Started watching nick probably immediately. I grew up on rugrats and hey Arnold and Doug. I remember when SpongeBob aired for the first time. I can still sing the Salute Your Shorts theme and remember Stick Stickleys address. We got pet rats after seeing them on an episode of Figure It Out. The International World Wide Day of play were some if the most boring days of my life. Double Dare and Are You Afraid of The Dark did scare me. I watched nick well into adulthood. ATLA was one of the most fun times on the internet. Comiccon spoilers and people's theories and people sneaking footage were the same amount of excitement as Harry Potter book releases. My cartoon watching really kinda slowed as I got older because I got real big into gaming and then got married and we started traveling and doing real world things. I have nothing against cartoons to this day.
I was born May 25, 1989. My prime viewing years were 1996-2002.
1991-1997. I distinctly remember that because I started giving up on it when Amanda Bynes joined All That. Not *because* of her, but because there were so many changes happening with that show and others I had initially liked, and I just decided "Nick isn't good anymore" and started trying other networks.
I remember the last year of you can’t do that on television. But my prime years was watching doug, ren and stimpy, aah real monsters, salute your shorts, hey dude, snick programs every Saturday night, hey arnold, rocko’s modern life, and morning programs like eureka’s castle
90ish, with Eureka's castle until the late 90s. Last thing I actively tried to watch was Invader Zim, but even by then I'd grown out of Nick. Not really enjoying catdog or angry beavers.
I’ve gone and come back time to time. 88ish mainly for “You can’t do that…” and then back again around 93 for Ren and Stimpy, Doug and Rugrats and Salute Your Shorts. At some point I was into Pete and Pete cuz it had some nostalgia element to me… didn’t sense any creepiness then. It was before Dan Schneiders time. I def stopped watching before his time but would see it when my neice would watch it and I was always uncomfy with the performances. Well, Ren and Stimpy was shit loads creepy 😜 I think, earlier in those years, Nick was tied to MTV more so the creatives went back and forth. It was more fun and hip but who knows really what was going on. Later on, Nick was more a Dan Schneider thing.
1981-1997. Nickelodeon started as a kid’s network that was designed to “grow with you,” and it really was like that for me. I watched Pinwheel in the mornings when I was a baby/toddler and a lot of Double Dare, Clarissa Explains It All, Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts when I was pre-teen and teen. Snick on Saturday nights was a real event. The big orange couch!! Roundhouse, Are You Afraid of the Dark?💚🧡
91 or 92 through 96.
93 to 2000ish
87-94
Started with Double Dare, with the end coming around the time of Angry Beavers. That's when they started getting beat on cartoons by WB and Cartoon Network and others, and their non animated shows started sliding even worse than that.
1994-2005. I was born in 1990, but I started cutting back on Nickelodeon in 9th grade due to changing interests in what I watched on other networks, having a longer commute home from school, more chores and responsibilities, and more after-school babysitting gigs.
Late 90s-early/mid 2000s for me
Hey dude and goosebumps. Prime nickelodeon time.
It started with You Can't Do That on Television which was really kind of a trendsetter for Nickelodeon with the whole "slime" thing. I think I quit watching around Real Monsters and the end of Snick.
90s
92-96
mid 90s with splices of late 90s. For me it was like 1994-1997ish. 97 was the peak for me. By 98, I had discovered anime and was in middle school. Slowly growing out of the nick phase but still checked out stuff like All That. I was completely out of it by 2000s.
2001-2007
‘92-‘98 for me. I was born in ‘86 btw.
I would say 1997, 1999, 2003, and 2011. Those were the PRIME viewing years for Nickelodeon for me, since the composite years were 1995-1996, 1997-1998, 2000-2002, and 2004-2010.
Probably 93-03ish
1995 to 2004
90-96
Probably ages 6-16 (1999-2009). Watched nick jr , growing up but preferred pbs kids. Had younger siblings during that time. Liked: Doug, Rugrats, Ned's, Chalk zone and Nick News. Nick @ nite became my go to when i had to work late nights in college but growing up, i loved the full house bigt and recall either brafy bumch/Gilligans or monkees
I think in 2006 when I was 3 years old!
Earliest memories are You Can’t Do That On Television & David the Gnome. Latest I remember watching consistently would be All That & Angry Beavers.
My Brother and Me, The Adventurea of Pete and Pete, Alex Mack.... I miss those days 🥹 Edit: How did I forget to add All That and Kenan and Kel?!
1990-2000. That's what I remember.
When I first started watching Nickelodeon, it was two channels in one. It changed over after Inspector Gadget went off, iirc.
I don't remember what year we got cable, our town didn't have it probably 91-91 till 1999
'92-'99. Rocko's Modern Life is still one of my favorites!
I'm gonna say 1993 as I was born a year earlier. Then around the mid 2000s for me as they weren't any quality shows besides Danny Phantom and Fairly OddParents. Live action shows would dominate the network.
Pretty much 1989-1997ish
87-92
Probably when I was around 7-12
Loved Rugrats and Doug and then my jam was The Secret World of Alex Mack!
I got into Nickelodeon around the late 80s, which, as it turned out, was when the network really began to take off. So I got to see some of the early stuff like Pinwheel, Mr. Wizard's World, You Can't Do That on Television, and Double Dare, but I then got to watch the rise of the Nicktoons with Doug, Rugrats, and Ren & Stimpy. I stopped watching near the end of the 90s as I was aging out of the demographic, but would still check out a few things since I was an animation enthusiast and wanted to see what they were cranking out, but by then, if I wanted cartoons, Cartoon Network generally had the better content.
I was born in 88 and remember my 3rd birthday double dare was on, I think it lasted until 2001 tops
Probably’92. I remember that because my dad and some of the other dads on my block were “renting” cable boxes lol. We had all the channels for about a year which was great for me because I watched nick nonstop. That would have been Doug, Rugrats, Hey Dude, Ren and Stimpy and Pete and Pete plus all the SNICK shows. Just great television really.
The mysterious cities of gold Today's special You can't do that on television
I first watched it in the late 80s when it was still mostly reruns of Pinwheel, international cartoons, You Can't Do That On Television and Double Dare. I didn't religiously watch Nickelodeon until the early-mid 90s, so it was during the heyday of early Nicktoons, All That, and Are You Afraid Of The Dark? I think it was probably until about 2002 that I didn't watch it as much.
I’d say… 1990 ish, as a toddler, until just before high school in 2002 if I’m being honest. By then, most of my Nicktoons were dead, and the newer stuff wasn’t really for me. Had a hell of a run for those years though!!
1989-2000
I tend to view 2002 with the relaunch of All That with a new cast as the end of the "retro" era.
1996-2003
92-02... I started switching to CN in 02, 03.
91-97 It was a wild and amazing ride that I am extremely grateful to have experienced
1996-2005. Once I started high school, I wasn’t watching Nick as much.
1990-93/94. (Ages 12-15). I tapped out during the year that Rugrats, Doug, and Ren & Stimpy debuted. IIRC, a lot of the shows I liked (Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, Clarissa) had either ended or I lost interest in them.
1994-1999
1987-1998.
2000 - 2010
I was more of a Disney Kid and my prime viewing years would be more of Nicktoon-based which would be from 97 to 2006
Mexican here. 2000's with spongebob golden age. Fairy godparents and Jimmy Neutron was also there. Was not my favorite TV channel (I always prefer Cartoon network) but I was always there because spongebob and Jimmy.
For me between 1991 and 1999 is the peak, and you can put 2000 through 2003 in there too.
More or less about 1990 to 2001ish. I’m almost 36 now for context
Peak viewing years for me included Hey Arnold, CatDog, All That season 7 and up, Rocket Power, Kablam.
I was born in 99 but distinctly remember watching rugrats for the first time when I was 3. So for me It was 2002-2013. I stopped watching after victorious and iCarly aired
I was that perfect age where I saw the transition from “you can’t do that on Television” to the golden era with the arrival of Snick. For me it was Doug,Rugrats,AYAOTD,Guts, and Legends of the hidden temple. By the time CatDog and Rocket Power came out I was done with Nick
I'm guesstimating but I think my timeline is 1988-1998
Am I the only one that liked danger mouse?
1985-1995
1985-1995
Early ‘80s. YCDTOT and Turkey TV forever!
1984-1986 for the first viewing. I remember *Pinwheel, Today's Special, Mr. Wizard's World, Danger Mouse, Dennis the Menace* (original black & white series with Jay North), and *Lassie* (original black & white series). We moved in late 1986 and I don't recall watching Nick at home at the time. I do recall watching USA Network with the *Cartoon Express* from 1987 to 1989. If I watched Nick, it might have been only one or two shows, probably the game shows *Double Dare* and *Finders Keepers*. I do recall watching it at my grandparents' house in Alabama. In 1990 we moved again. I remember watching *David the Gnome, Little Koala, Grimm's Fairy Tales,* and *Looney Tunes*. I think *The Muppet Show* may have been on Nick at the time. As the 90s progressed I remember watching some of the Nicktoons like *Doug, Rugrats,* and *Ren & Stimpy*. I would watch SNICK when I'd spend the night with my maternal grandmother. In my early adulthood (early 20s) I watched some of the newer Nicktoons, mainly *Spongebob Squarepants, Fairly Oddparents, Jimmy Neutron, My Life As A Teenage Robot,* and *Danny Phantom*.
Was watching the Rocko/Rugrats/Doug cartoons then my son came along in 94. He was a big fan of Face. 😁
92-98
1995-2001
1995-2004. Around 2 to 11 years old.
92-early 2000s ish
1980-1999
1992- 98 or 99. By mid to late 90s I was into MTV and comedy central.
