Thanks very much for all the comments! I wanted to wait a while before responding but it looks like my article's been pretty popular. 
I was a little worried since I knew there had been so many Nicktoon related articles here but I think I was able to make it pretty unique by having it be about the creators themselves, and it really shows just how differently they all think: Spumco going for more mature stuff, while Jim Jinkins does the opposite and started doing a lot of preschool shows. And Klasky Csupo pretty much stayed with Nick for the most part.
It seemed like there was a lot more detail in Part 2 than Part 1, but that's probably because there was more story behind them (especially Spumco) and Ren & Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life are my two most favorite Nicktoons of that time so I must have been wanting to get to them. And I guess there were a few things I could have added (EX: Duckman, The Ripping Friends) but I did mention most of the things I was familiar with and I knew were created by the same people.
I also want to clear up the Rocko/Lazlo thing a bit. I know I said that Lazlo was a Spongebob ripoff but it's not a complete ripoff: one is at camp and the other's underwater. Lazlo really is it's own thing but what makes it seem like a ripoff is just some of the jokes and how the characters are portrayed at times. Like in the episode "Meatman" Lazlo made a friend out of meat, which I noticed was very similar to Spongebob's "Bubble Buddy". I guess I still have mixed feelings about it cause it feels so different from Rocko's Modern Life. The main title part is kind of true though.
