Chester50 3 years 3 months ago Posts: 83	[/quote]I guess the point was to entertain toddlers.[/quote] Which I find very interesting considering the Rugrats was also intended for audiences of that age, considering that Nick Jr's demographic was from ages 3-6 ish right? That show had a plot, dialogue, characters, jokes, lessons, and sometimes drama. Then there's shows like The Busy World of Richard Scary, heck even Blues Clues was certainly more coherent than Teletubbies. It was just a strange show, I'm curious to know what the kids who watched this show felt about it.

"Rugrats" might have had babies and toddlers as main characters, but it sure is entertaining even to adults. And I'm not familiar with "Blues Clues", but yeah, "The busy world of Richard Scary" had more brains behind it than "The teletubbies" had as well. Many people hate "The teletubbies" though. I guess it's only enjoyable for kids so small, that they don't yet understand how stupid it is.

Rugrats didn't start off as a Nick Jr. show. It started on Nickelodeon. I remember at one point, they used to show Rugrats and the other two Nicktoons, at the time, on Sunday nights. I think it was still in "premier" mode. That aside, I found it strange too (Teletubbies), but never thought twice about it. I just figured, "Guess that's what really little kids like". When I was a senior in hs, I was doing an article on my class's president (who I'd known since elementary school). Turns out he actually liked the Teletubbies, but I wasn't allowed to share that info. lol

That's the most dumbass excuse for not liking something I've ever heard. Forget about the failing public school system, the real reason kids these days are so stupid is because of a Cartoon Network show. The REAL reason America is in the state that it is now could all be attributed to this one, despicable cartoon. Let it be known that ED EDD N' EDDY destroyed America! Now if you excuse me, I'm gonna go drink a six pack and masturbate.

TheEducator 3 years 3 months ago Posts: 56	Rugrats was NOT targeted toward younger kids. Well, not until the fall of 1998 when it went to hell, anyway. Pre-98 Rugrats was intended for older audiences. The younger kids would never grasp the mature wit and humor that was the foundation for the show. This was as intelligent a show as Nickelodeon has ever produced. As for a show with the stupidest concept...staying within the Nickelodeon theme, I vote for "Rocket Power." When I saw a few episodes of that show, I knew Nickelodeon had officially fallen off a cliff.

I mean I saw one ep where they went to a club for adults and just because they didn't want a bunch of loud noisy kids disturbing them, they said it's ok to break every rule in the book and piss people off just because they don't want to be annoyed.

Its only been 7-8 years since the last episode aired and it didn't held up well. Its like Poochie Dawg:The Series!

Come to think of it "Rocko's Modern Life" and "Ren and Stimpy" were pretty pointless as well. Rocko's Modern Life was a parody of American society, dumbass. Pretty solid concept. Oh goodness. How'd I miss this guy? I am seriously slipping these last few weeks. Oh well, the opportunity has passed. C'est la vie.
