Nickelodeon had some pretty sweet stuff, too. Rugrats and Ren & Stempy, among others, were classics back in the day.

anyone see Rocko's Modern Life?

Rocko's Modern Life was an A+ show for many years.

While we speak of Nickelodeon, let's not forget such classics as Salute your Shorts, Hey Dude (Two of my FAVORITE shows ever), Adventures of the Hidden Temple, Are you Afraid of the Dark?, Wild N Crazy Kids, Eureeka's Castle, and the original Doug (also one of my favorites). Other top notch shows included Pete & Pete (who's first season will be coming out on DVD and I will be buying) and Clarissa Explains it All.

Also, for a short time, they ran a british series where these 3 or 4 kids had several special powers, teleportation being one of the chief ones. It was a very cryptic and dark series, but I remember very little about the plot. All i remember is I highly enjoyed the show, and the kids could teleport to a beach type area by joining hands or some other nonsense. It also had something to do with aliens, but (much like my ex girlfriend) the show never reached a climax, as Nickelodeon took it off, probably because of poor ratings.

Yup.

Anyone remember the one with the action figures? That series was fucking brilliant.

I remember the superhero show, but cant quite remember what it was called. It was hilarious though. Also, I believe the show I talked about a couple threads above was called The Tomorrow People.

All of these shows and many many more were classic. Nickelodeon is now an advertising shill, similar to what Disney was becoming while Nickelodeon was hitting it's peak. But in my childhood, they created believable (often) characters that dealt with real life issues and important themes rather than mindless entertainment in between commercials.
