I may as well go ahead and throw in all the early Nickelodeon shows--early Rugrats, Doug, Ren & Stimpy and, of course, Rocko's Modern Life. All great shows in their infancy, though those that outlived said infancy got horrible later on (I'm looking at you, Disney's Doug and later Rugrats eps.)

I recently saw the original Rugrats pilot on YouTube and was very...impressed. It's got this oddball crazy art style to it that's not quite even consistant with the first season--it's 'very' wonky and different. Check it out at some point.

EDIT: Hey look! I'm Bundyrugby!

There's a strong chance I'm alone in this, but I actually preferred Disney's Doug to the Nickelodeon version. Where the original version had pointedly mundane moral-stamping, the Disney version got a lot more clever, redefing the characters beyond the one-note cartoon stereotypes they'd been before (Roger being a good example), and even having some ongoing plot development over the course of seasons.

This is *officially* the doofiest conversation I've ever been in. Online or otherwise.

It could have been the nostalgia, but I always 'liked' those one-note stereotypes. Although they weren't always there--recall the episode with the father-son wheelbarrow race. That was different and interesting. I think.

I've been in doofier. I distinctly remember once stating "Oh, shut up, you existential douchebag."
