Nicktoons are animated television programs airing on the children's television channel Nickelodeon and its many spin-offs.

Before Nicktoons, the only regularly-scheduled animation program on Nickelodeon was Pinwheel, an anthology series ala Oh Yeah! Cartoons.

When Pinwheel ended its run in 1989, Nickelodeon returned to airing primarily live-action shows. Then, on Sunday, August 11, 1991 at 10:00 am EST, the first Nicktoon was aired - Doug. This show was followed by Rugrats and then, The Ren and Stimpy Show. This format was repeated every Sunday.

Over the years, more Nicktoons were created and aired. Other Nicktoons were created for Nick Jr., Nickelodeon's late morning and early afternoon lineup for younger children.

All of the earlier Nicktoons, as well as Nicktoons from Nickelodeon's international networks, can be seen on NickToons Network, a 24-hour digital cable/satellite network.

Notes

  • There were five proposed Nicktoons made in 1989, but were tested poorly in the pilot stage and weren't made into series.
  • Doug was the first Nicktoon to air. Doug was sold to Disney in 1996, and was also the only Nicktoon to be sold to another company.
  • The three original Nicktoons that aired on August 11, 1991, each had their own series revival, following their respective series cancellations (Doug in 1996; Rugrats in 1997; Ren and Stimpy in 1995).
  • SpongeBob SquarePants is currently Nickelodeon's most popular cartoon. It airs 19 times a week on NickToons Network.
  • Rugrats was the longest running Nicktoon. It spanned 11 1/2 seasons, 2 spinoffs (All Grown Up! and Rugrats Pre-School Daze) and 3 movies (The Rugrats Movie, Rugrats in Paris, and Rugrats Go Wild).
  • Its motto: "Not Just Cartoons, We're Nicktoons!"

Nicktoons TV, the block on Nickelodeon

Nicktoons TV, is a name used in TV schedules for a half-hour block featuring two stories from two separate Nicktoon series; or, sometimes, one Nicktoon featuring two stories from two separate episodes. It also served as a "To Be Announced" for gaps in the Nickelodeon schedule that have yet to be filled as the schedules went public, especially weeks before air.

The Nicktoons TV name was first used on May 16, 1998, as a five-hour marathon of individual, 11-minute (before commercials) episodes of various Nicktoons. Nicktoons TV became a regular Saturday morning series on August 15, 1998 (starting with a 12-hour Nicktoons TV marathon, with the block settling into its regular 4-hour block the following week); that block lasted until the fall of 1999.

Even after NickToons Network debuted in 2002 with the "NickToons TV" name, Nickelodeon continued to use the "NickToons TV" name as a stop-gap on the main channel.
