90's Cartoons

Cool shows from the 90's-early 2000's

When I was really young, I used to watch the Old Nickelodeon and I still remember parts of it. Nickelodeon was pretty much the pinnacle of the 90's and early 2000's for kids. Kids shows were just so much better back then, now they show stupid crap like ICarly or Hannah Montana or Jonas Brothers. I can remember the days before all those stupid new shows that aren't even worth watching came around. Just to give everyone a heads up, I will not name all of the old Nick shows, I know I will miss some, but this article is about the shows that I specifically remember. Here they go:

AAAHH!!! Real Monsters!!!

This one I remember seeing when I was sitting in my living room bored one day. I believe I was about three or four. I really liked this show because I thought it was funny how the monsters would always try to scare people, but it would usually turn out unsucessful. I remember liking Krumm because I loved how he would carry his eyes around with him.

Hey Arnold!

This was hands down one my top five favorite shows. How could we ever forget Football Head? I always liked when Helga would always treat Arnold like crap, and then when he's not around, talk about how much she loves him lol. And I thought Helga's mom was funny. Looking back at it, it seems like Helga's mom showed signs of being an alcoholic because she always talked with a slurred speech, and was hungover. The episode that scared me the most is when they went on that creepy old train. In fact, here's a picture of it! (lol notice Helga's stalker sitting on the fence)

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

This show scared the living crap out of me every time I saw it. Especially at the end when they would put the fire out! However just last week I was watching an episode and I said to myself "I was scared of this?"lol. I remember seeing the episode about the dollhouse, and here's a picture of the girl from that episode!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers

This was probably my favorite show. I used to own a Power Rangers Pillow, (I still Have it) Power Rangers action figures, and even PR soap! I owned dozens of tapes, and I just couldn't get enough of this!

Doug

This show used to come on really early in the morning, so I really didn't watch it all that much, but I can recall a few episodes. I always liked how the character's skin tones were really odd colors. Like Skeeter had turqouise skin, and Patty had Orange lol. I remember Doug always dreamed of being some really weird super hero thing lol.

CatDog

This show was funny. Who ever came up with the idea of a cat and a dog being conjoined? Looking back at it now, it almost seems kinda wrong lol. I remember Cat being the serious one, and dog being the fun one. And I thought it was so weird that they found their parents in that movie special. Here's a pic of that:

It's a shame you never really see these shows anymore. I'm gonna see if i can upload them from some kind of site. I'm glad I had a chance to grow up watching these great shows :)

i remember the catdog episode with the lofa sponge

How is this in the back pages? I give you a thumbs up!

Yes...these people made me realize something. You should have just stuck to cartoons. MMPR and AYAOTD don't fall under that category.

Yawn...MMPR and AYAOTD were not cartoons. This would've been better in a forum. Articles are meant to captivate RJ users and be more of a reading experience than just a group of random thoughts for a lightly read forum post.

When will people stop writing articles like this?

What makes it worse is that you didn't even stick to the rules you set out in the title. If the title is "90s Cartoons," you cannot add "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and "Power Rangers" to the list. They don't qualify. Why not add "The A-Team" while you're at it...since it is neither a cartoon nor a show from the 90s...it would fit right in.

The article is sucktastic. Thumbs down.

I would've liked to hear more about experiences and episodes that you liked. It was an okay article but not the best one I have read.

Not bad, but you totally missed out on key cartoons like Spongebob, and why is power rangers and are you afraid of the dark? listed in an article about 90's cartoons??

Back in the day when Nickelodeon was good. To me, Are You Afraid of the Dark was their answer to maybe The Twilight Zone or Tales From The Crypt. That's just my opinion. But it is a good show I'm not going to lie. Nice job.

Ditto what Ethan said.

I grew up with You Can't Do That on Television, Turkey TV, Danger Mouse and stuff like that on Nick. I thought the 90's stuff sucked. Then I realized I had just outgrown the network.

News flash, you're not SUPPOSED to like Hannah Montana if you're in your 20s.

How lovely, this isn't only an article for 90s and early 00s cartoons, but it's also another "TV Sucks now" article, and like most TV Sucks now articles, it bashes the kids networks, networks that only target kids. Your profile says "The 90's is my favorite decade because it brought great music, cartoons, video games, and me!" I suggest you watch the Angry Video Game Nerd and the Nostalgia Critic, then you'll realize that we had just as many bad stuff 90s and well as we do today. Please, stop complaining over these networks and move on.

If I had a nickel for every article written on 90's Nicktoons on this site...

I remember watching all of these shows from when I was little, those were some good times! Other than that, good article!

Ehh... Power Rangers isn't Nickelodeon, and the picture placement is a little wonky. Other than that, it's a decent article.

i remember all these shows and miss them..omgsh that doll house episode was my favorite episode on Are You Afraid of the Dark..I miss Hey Arnold..I thought it was so cute how Helga liked Arnold and had her little shrine to him in the back of her closet..
