Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Nicktoons-specific rules: Must be a multi-episode cartoon or at the very minimum a live action show with a heavy cartoon presence. Show must have been originally created for Nickelodeon, although if it eventually left Nickelodeon for another network then it still counts.

Licensed spinoffs of movies do NOT count unless they were Nickelodeon original movies (Jimmy Neutron counts, Kung Fu Panda doesn't)

YESTERDAY: Low Sunday votals, not a huge deal. I probably should have saved this one for around Halloween. I gotta start thinking of 31 spooky Rushmores for the entire month of October. Still not doing serial killers.

The Stand and the Dark Tower were tied for a while but then they weren't! This seems like a solid top 4 although I think Misery deserved a spot but I wouldn't know what to remove for it (ChatGPT does though)

Some movie discourse but people like the Shining enough that the "but the movie was different!" argument didn't have much of an affect on it. Also no mention of the weird underage sewer orgy in IT

I wish I could justify a personal favourite like Invader Zim but the Loud House is (regrettably) good modern rep for the network. Just know that my spirit is in the Hot Topic lined walls of this gremlin alien with his robot sidekick.

Rugrats and Spongebob are locks. Straight up.
Avatar probably deserves the spot for being a successful anime on Nickelodeon of all places.
Last spot is a toss-up between Ren & Stimpy and Fairly Oddparents. Giving it to the former but I can be talked into changing my mind.

The Ren & Stimpy Show

Spongebob and Avatar are two of the most obvious picks for a rushmore out of any rushmore we've ever done. Rugrats is there as the Klasky-Csupo rep and the third most reliable cash cow after Spongebob and Avatar (not to mention it was basically the mascot franchise before Spongebob really took off).

There are lots of shows that have arguments for the last slot based on things like longevity, influence on media and long-lasting popularity, but Ren & Stimpy being the show that more or less put extremely cartoony, original, storyboard- and creator-driven cartoons on the map is massive. In spite of the fact there's only around 20 episodes of it worth watching. Without it not only do most Nicktoons after it not exist most cartoons period after it don't exist. Most cartoons with as many controversies behind it as it has had would have long stop being mentioned if they were not also that impotant, because Ren & Stimpy's importance to both the Nicktoons and to animation is very difficult to overstate.

Rugrats
SpongeBob SquarePants
Blues Clues

^I think these three all make a lot of sense. For my fourth pick Im going with one that I doubt anyone else will say, but which I really loved, which is KaBlam! If it counts, that is. Some might say it wasnt totally a toon, and I can see that.

Ill add the following in reference to a show Im not selecting: while I loved Hey, Arnold!, I grew to dislike it while I was still a little kid. After however long of watching it, Arnold turned into the very first character in anything whom I disliked because he just seemed like too much of a goody-two-shoes, and that kind of ruined the show for me. Would be curious to know if anyone felt the same way.

The first two are indisputable. There are like five shows competing for those last two spots (the other three being Ren & Stimpy, Doug, and Hey Arnold; I simply went with the ones with the most staying power).
