I dont think this poll will relate to the majority of the board as most of you guys are in your 30s and 40s, but what the hey.

I admit I haven't seen all of those, but "Ren & Stimpy" sure was a classic while it lasted.  Something kids and adults could both enjoy, on different levels, which is always something I look for in a cartoon.

I enjoyed the first season of Ren & Stimpy, but it just didn't sustain my interest after that. Rocko's Modern Life, however, seemed to be written more for adults than kids. It was funny on multiple levels and made decent social commentary fairly often. I wish I had the extra cash to find that one on dvd.

Unfortunatly, there IZZNT an official dvd release of Rocko as of yet, but there are "Best of Rocko's Modern life" downloadable from i-tunes (who cares, right?) and a buncha BOOTLEG complete series's out there floatin' around on the internet, but those arent always the best of quality.

Of these, probably Ren And Stimpy.
As for my favorite cartoon ever shown on Nickelodeon..

Actually even though I'm in my late 30s, I'm seen a bunch of those (Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, Doug, Hey Arnold)  but my fave of the bunch is definitely Rocko's Modern Life. Agree that it was the most adult of the bunch. I loved cartoons most of my life...it's only with this last decade's offerings with the shock level driven to the max that I've begun to lose interest in toons.

I've seen all of these but the only one I remember with any sort of clarity is Hey Arnold! so that got my vote.

I remember liking all of these though.

I also used to have a super fun Aaah! Real Monsters game for the Sega Genesis.

I miss those simpler days.  :bluesad:

While all those shows are special to me in various capacities, I voted Ren and Stimpy.  If anything, for Powdered Toast Man, and the fact that a whole episode was dedicated to STIMPY'S FIRST FART. :bouncegiggle:

Also, I was a big fan of their live action shows at the time: The Adventures of Pete and Pete, Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, Are You Afraid of The Dark?, Roundhouse, Weinerville and the countless gameshows.
