Today we will discuss Nickelodeon and its 90’s series. Nickelodeon is an American cable channel owned by Viacom and exists since 1977 (then called Pinwheel). Nickelodeon is a popular channel amongst kids; it was ranked as the #1 cable channel of 2011. In 1990 Nickelodeon opened Nickelodeon Studios, a television studio/attraction at Universal Studios Florida, were many shows were filmed. In 1991 Nickelodeon developed its first animated series; Doug, Rugrats and The Ren and Stimpy show. These shows are called the original Nicktoons and started airing August 11, 1991. Doug aired from 1991 to 1999 and it won 2 Kids’Choice Awards , in 1992 and in 1995. Rugrats aired until 2004 and was then followed by All Grown Up! (2003-2008). Rugrats also has 2 movies; The Rugrats Movie and Rugrats in Paris: The Movie. The Ren and Stimpy Show ran until 1996 and was rated 7 years and older because of controversial elements like black comedy, toilet humor, sexual innuendo and violence.
In 1999 Nickelodeon debuted the animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, which quickly became one of the most popular Nicktoons ever, and is still very popular today, consistently ranking as the channels highest-rated series since 2000.
Of course we know that you all love these nineties series and wished you could still see them on television. Luckily, Nickelodeon had the same idea, so since July 25, 2011 you can watch The 90's Are All That. This is a programming block that airs every night between midnight and 2 a.m., with an encore till 4 a.m. Currently it airs All That, Kenan & Kel, Doug, Rugrats and Hey Arnold!
