Nickelodeon's prime years. Lasted from 1991 to the early 2000s where shows such as Rugrats, Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Global Guts, and the original All That were running on Nickelodeon. Many young adults who were kids at the time of these golden years refer to it as the best years on television.
Jack: Remember when we used to watch the great Nicktoons and Nickelodeon game shows?
The time when Nickelodeon was worth watching. It featured shows such as Are You Afraid of the Dark?, My Brother and Me, Alex Mack, Ren and Stimpy, Doug, Salute Your Shorts, etc. Now Nickelodeon has sold out and if they brought back the old shows, their network would be doing better.
