    • Well you can't talk about Nick without Spongebob! Preferably seasons 1-3 and the more recent episodes when Steven Hillenburg came back, seasons 6-8 aren't good.
    • I enjoyed the 2012 TMNT show.
    • Rugrats is dope.
    • I like Life With Loopy and Action League Now from KaBlam! Especially Loopy.
    • Angry Beavers is the OG.
    • Fairly Oddparents was good, especially the specials.
    • Jimmy Neutron is awesome.
    • My Life as a Teenage Robot, is one of the cooler action shows.
    • Catscratch is obscure, and needs to be appreciated.
    • Back at the Barnyard was funny as shit.
    • Fanboy and Chum Chum was whack the earlier episodes, but it redeemed itself later on with the humor focusing craziness and hilarous premises.
    If I had to pick top 5?
    1. Spongebob
    2. TMNT
    3. Back at the Barnyard
    4. Jimmy Neutron
    5. Fairly Oddparents

    I was a Nick fan around the 90s, like most I guess.

    The Adventures of Pete and Pete
    Clarissa Explains it All
    Rugrats
    Hey Arnold
    Rocket Power
    My Life as a Teenage Robot
    CatDog
    Kenan and Kel
    Early seasons of Spongebob Squarepants, Fairly Odd Parents, Cousin Skeeter and 100 Deeds for Eddie McDowd

    I thought 2012 TMNT was nice enough.

    Avatar, hands down


    Invader Zim is fun, Catdog at least has a great theme song, and I've been meaning to rewatch the 2012 TMNT show..... but as a whole I'm kinda meh on Nickelodeon.

    Aaaah, I know those. That's MY time as well. I liked Invader Zim as well, but haven't seen anything else from the newer nick shows.

    Count Duckula is good stuff.
    Invader Zim too.

    Never seen Avatar or Korra, but I hear they’re good.

    Paw Patrol, Blaze & the Monster Machines & Ricky Zoom are good for watching with my kids.

    I hate saying it now, but when I was a kid, my hands down answer would be "Ren and Stimpy". Now it's a whole separating the art from the artist type of struggle for me, but I'd be lying if I were to say another show. So much of it influenced my humor when I was in elementary school.

    Because I’m old, I have to say my favorites were You Can’t Do That On TV and Danger Mouse. Sometimes during Danger Mouse there was a short toon called Bananaman that I thought was funny.

    Also I have to mention a really obscure show called Turkey TV that was a collection of comedy skits from around the world. Well, I liked it. I think it only lasted a season or 2.

    Later I watched things like Nick Arcade, Ren & Stimpy, Clarissa, and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

    EDIT: One I totally forgot about: Out Of Control starring Dave Coulier, before Full House. Another obscurity I liked for the short time it was on.

    If I had to pick a top five of Nickelodeon originals:

    Avatar: The Last Airbender
    Hey Arnold!
    Invader Zim
    SpongeBob SquarePants (Season 1-3)
    The Fairly Oddparents (To a point)

    There were others I enjoyed of course but I don't know how much they hold up compared to the above which I still enjoy today.

    Well, if Mysterious Cities of Gold, and Inspector Gadget count, then I definitely those. And, I'm starting to really like Spartakus And The Sun Beneath The Sea, which I know was once also on Nick. Those are Nick's best shows.

    Of special note in regards to Duckula and Zim: the music really stuck with me.

    Invader Zim

    The Secret World of Alex Mack

    The Journey of Allen Strange

    The Tomorrow People... not sure how many people are even aware of this one since it had almost nothing to do with the original other than kids having the same powers... but I didn't know this series was a remake till the CW did they own remake years later which is oddly closer to the original version than the Nickelodeon one. Funny fact... each of the remakes are exactly 20 years apart from each other.

    All That... But only the seasons where Kel Mitchel and Kennan Thompson were in the cast. I stopped watching after they left the show mostly because I saw that Ryan Coleman was taking over roles in sketched Kel Mitchel originated... At least I think it was him... to be honest I really don't know the kid's name and the source that listed him doesn't seem too reliable. For one thing it showed a picture of a white kid and I seriously doubt they would of gotten away with doing black face. I just remember I saw one episode where a younger kid was playing Ed from Goodburger and I went, nope, that's not Ed. I have recently started watching All That again because the original cast has been brought back along with a new cast. So no more seeing someone else playing roles originated by a different actor, Josh Peck has come back and is playing Lt. Dan again but now he has a daughter, Lt. Ann. Kel is playing Ed and Coach Creaton again.

    I'm pretty sure that they filmed sketches with the older cast members all in the same day and then sprinkled their sketches across the series mixed in with new sketches from the new cast members because each episode only contains ONE original cast member sketch per episode. They even had the cast of Zoey 101 guest star in an episode but aside from one sketch where Jamie Lynn Spears plays herself and the elderly security guard they didn't do anything the entire rest of the episode... I'm pretty sure they'll show up again at some point because that seems to be the thing, one sketch per episode, they filmed a bunch of stuff with the older cast members but they're stretching it out across the run rather than dumping everything into one special. Kind of a smart move since it's gotten older fans like myself to watch the show who normally would only watch the reunion with the older cast members anyway.
