The Complete History of Nickelodeon's Original Nicktoons

[TMC]

In this video I cover the complete history of Nickelodeon's three original Nicktoons. I start all the way back in the 1970s when Nickelodeon was called something else entirely before it rebranded, I cover the history of Doug, the History of Rugrats, the history of Ren & Stimpy, including all the necessary and relevant reboots and spinoffs that each of those shows spawned. You may recognize some part of this video if you've already seen my first three ever videos. Essentially, those were curated to make this ultimate compilation/marathon video, and I've also included additional context and details, as well as filmed a proper intro, outro, and transition pieces as well. Okay, thanks, see ya soon. This video was researched, written, and presented by Tom Breaker, edited by Mello Axe.

Before we get into Doug, Rugrats, and Ren & Stimpy, we should take some time for context. Just what was the Nicktoons project? What was the state of children's television animation going into the 1990s? Who was Vanessa Coffey and what motivated her to step up? And what about the five pilots that didn't get greenlit? Welcome to the Nicktoons Era.
