It would have been ranked lower than Zim, but it was even better than I remembered so now they're tied... even though they're totally different types of humor. <cite>MechaKoopa5000 posted [p:214018] in Nicktoons...

TheCodeisBosco 08/15/11 11:53:00 AM #8:	Rocko's definitely the best show as an adult - it's legitimately funnier than most sitcoms airing today! Aside from that... I'd imagine early SpongeBob, Doug and Hey Arnold still have some entertainment value, but I'm not sure if I'd revisit anything else. The Klasky-Csupo stuff is definitely more kid-oriented than family-oriented (except maybe The Wild Thornberrys), I never really liked Ren & Stimpy or Zim, and truthfully, I remember The Angry Beavers not holding up very well when I tried to rewatch it. In general, I think Cartoon Cartoons held up better. Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Lab and Sheep in the Big City seem even funnier to me nowadays! I think CN's shows tried harder to appeal to all ages, whereas I think many of Nick's shows were kid-only ordeals. -- Unlimited juice?

MechaKoopa5000 08/15/11 12:25:00 PM #15:	On the whole, I still think I'd pick classic Nicktoons over those CN shows, though. It's kinda sad how the original 3 Nicktoons were revived in one way or another and were horrible. The Rugrats' revival was by far the most successful, but I just don't really think they needed new babies (Dil and that French chick). As decent as the actual new Rugrats episodes probably were, it doesn't make up for All Growed Up. Disney's Doug was a disaster and Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon was a disgrace. <cite>MechaKoopa5000 posted [p:214028] in Nicktoons...

I never watched that Adult Party Cartoon, but I hear it's unbelievably bad, and the idea just sucks to begin with. It seems to me that a lot of the fun of Ren & Stimpy comes from the fact that it really pushed the "family-friendly" envelope as far as it could go; by making it an actual adults-only program, I think the creators really missed the point. -- Unlimited juice?

John K. himself said he didn't really want to push the limits, but Spike TV ("the first network for men" lol) wanted the show to compete with South Park for pure raunchiness. The thing is, South Park isn't just raunchy for the sake of raunchy. It's actually pretty smart. Anyway, John K. was pressured into it by the network. According to the always-right Wikipedia, he's since expressed interested in bringing the show back again but this time "just for the kids" once more, as it was original intended.

MrsFrisby 08/16/11 7:16:00 AM #23:	I'd bring Doug and Angry Beavers up two, but otherwise this ranking is solid. (I never watched Hey Arnold, though) And for Cartoon Network shows, Courage the Cowardly Dog seems to have held up the best to time, but it's always been my favorite so I could just be a little biased. Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Laboratory also have held up impressively. I honestly never watched Powerpuff Girls back then, but my love for MLP: FiM spurred me to finally give it a shot and I regret nothing.
