I remember when cartoons were predominantly enjoyable...now not so much...
Love to hear your thoughts on some of these fantastic cartoons!!

These came on about the same time Disney XD was once the much loved, actually Disney-related Toon Disney (w/ Aladdin the series, Hercules the series, The Little Mermaid series, 101 Dalmatians the series, DuckTales, Darkwing Dark, etc.)

Invader Zim
It was my favorite when I was little and it's my favorite now.

I also loved Hey Arnold and Catdog, and I know I watched the others you listed but I can't remember them very well and I'm not sure if I liked them or not.

I really can't decide, they were all awesome shows!! BUT, If I absolutely must, I guess I would choose...Hey Arnold. Comedy wise, I think it's one of the best I've ever seen. Funny show! All That! comes as a close second in that field, though.

I've always disliked the Nickelodeon styles of cartoons...I won't vote.

To me Nickelodeon is the one responsible for the awful TV cartoons we've got since the 2000's, because every other company are copying them. (including Disney)

I prefer the 80/90's styles when almost everyone was copying the Disney classic animation style instead (not only the drawing style, but also the stories, characters etc...!)

*kinda agrees with Steet* I'm mostly for Cartoon Network.
A lot of old Nick toons I didn't care for. HOWEVER I did love CatDog and Wild Thornberrys. ...even though the animation in WT was kinda creepy...
My fav Nick toons are Invader Zim, Danny Phantom, and Fairly OddParents, though I don't think they're quite classified as the "old" Nicktoons.

I don't really like Nickelodeon either, nor do I care for Cartoon network these days. Both now have stupid shows on. I don't mind iCarly and Spongebob (originals), but most of it is just junk.

My favorites were Catdog and Rugrats.

Most of Nikelodeon and Cartoon Network's stuff is blah and garbage. If it's not the aforementioned cloned cartoon concept evident in Nickelodeon's stuff, it's Cartoon Network's censoring and editing of old classic cartoons from the golden age because they're not "politically sensitive" or "politically correct" (Looney Tunes' Speedy Gonzales and some of their World War II cartoons being one example, and the most classic Tom & Jerry cartoons of MGM being another).

But I did vote for Ren & Stimpy, because that cartoon very MUCH broke the mold of the usual garbage which has been put out since the 1990s! They used classic backgrounds, sound clips and sight gags, great animation and art, and edgy stories! LOVED it!

I used to watch all these shows when I was a little kid in the early 2000s, (Which was basically the last hurrah of the classic shows.) with the exception of Kablam.

Rocko's Modern Life would probably have to be my favorite because I began watching it a lot at a time when I began to turn away from the other shows.

Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon used to be my favorite channels, but thanks to all the crap shows they have, they're now my least favorite channels. I never realized how much I liked the old shows until they were gone. *Gets nostalgic*

Rocket Power, Hey Arnold!, Rugrats, CatDog and Angry Beavers are part of my childhood, in my opinion now Nick only shows a worth to watch show...

Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys were both my favorite as a kid, so those were personally the best to me.

Hey! Arnold , Invader zim , Spongebob ( Older Eps ) , Ruggrats , Wild thorn berries , Fairly oddparents.
