My Top 3 Favorite (Old) Nickelodeon Cartoons.

Everybody knows that cartoons are definitely not what they used to be (and I'm sure that people older than I am said the same thing about the cartoons from my generation). I seriously cannot wrap my head around some of the stupid shit they call cartoons these days. Like "Yo Gabba Gabba"... wtf is that anyway? "The Backyardigans"?? Oh, the poor children of the 2000's. What happened to the cartoons that the parents could slightly enjoy while their offspring are hogging the television? Most of all, WHAT HAPPENED TO FACE?!?! (if you don't know what I'm talking about, it sucks to be you.) This list is of my personal favorite Nickelodeon cartoons that aren't ridiculous.

1. Rugrats
Yup. Everyone loves Rugrats. I could never get enough of Tommy, Chucky, Phil, and Lil. Oh, don't forget Angelica, that spiteful little brat. Now, don't confuse my love for Rugrats with "Rugrats: All Grown Up". That was a stupid spin-off, seriously. There's just something about the animation from the '90's that totally rocks, which the spin-offs are missing.

What I loved about Rugrats was that it encouraged young, impressionable children to use their imaginations. Kids today rely on television and internet way too much for entertainment. Honestly, how many kids can you think of that seriously want to play outside instead of watch TV or go online, or even make up a game to play? Rugrats also conveyed good morals in each episode.

All in all, Rugrats was the shit. :)

2. Rocko's Modern Life
I love Rocko simply because he's a wallaby. And his dog is awesome.
But, in all seriousness, now that I'm old enough to understand, I love the innuendo. It's hilarious to think that I watched it growing up and now my brain is warped. Maybe the creators knew that they were subliminally corrupting kids, but I don't really care. Between Rocko, Spunky, Heffer, and Filbert there was never a dull moment.

3. CatDog

CatDog was probably one of the ONLY cartoons (besides spongebob) that my dad watched with us. Actually, he still sings the theme song. If that doesn't tell you how awesome CatDog was, I don't know what will. This duo of a wise, old, grumpy cat and a hyper, neurotic dog, is by far the best pair of characters in any cartoon. No matter how much Cat hates Dog, Cat still loves Dog. The love-hate relationship kind of portrays the relationship between siblings. They fight a lot but they still love each other. Not to mention how CatDog opens your mind to cross-breeding between cats and dogs. Now that's what I call "i-maaaaaaa-gin-aaaaaa-tion".
