Do most people no longer really care about Rugrats?

Nickelodeon has always followed the strategy of picking one Nicktoon and milking it for all it's worth until people get absolutely sick of it.

The first Nicktoon they did this with was Rugrats. It premiered in 1991 and had a modest 65-episode run from then until 1994. When Rugrats went into reruns, it became a cultural phenomenon, getting lots of airplay and high ratings on TV.

So Nick decided to renew the show for a 4th season in 1997 to massive ratings success, resulting in a boatload of merchandise from VHS tapes, video games, toys, apparel, and themed junk food. The franchise basically became what we know SpongeBob as today.

However, starting with the release of the 1998 theatrical Rugrats Movie, and the start of the show's 6th season in 1999, people started to get sick of Rugrats because it added a new little baby character and the humor became increasingly reliant on gross out.

Then when the Rugrats in Paris theatrical movie came out in 2000, and the show's 7th season started airing in 2001, they introduced a female Tommy clone character, which people didn't like either, and the show started losing a lot of popularity, with the franchise basically becoming a punchline in people's eyes.

Around this time in 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants premiered to almost immediate ratings success, overtaking Pokémon in the ratings and becoming more popular than Rugrats had ever been.

Everyone's attention went to SpongeBob, and Rugrats was left with little fanfare, ending after 9 seasons and 172 episodes in 2004. To this day, nobody really seems to know or care about Rugrats anymore.

Around 2005, as SpongeBob was entering it's 4th season, Nick became so reliant on the show that any other Nicktoon that didn't immediately get that super high level of ratings was immediately canned. Since those are totally unrealistic standards, this resulted in the entire schedule being nothing but SpongeBob reruns within a couple years.

Recently in 2016, The Loud House was the only Nicktoon that was able to break into success and survive on the air alongside SpongeBob. However, it's actually surpassed SpongeBob in the ratings multiple times over the years, and SpongeBob's ratings have actually been declining.

Recently there was the first day in 14 years where Nick went an entire broadcast day without airing SpongeBob, due to airing a bunch of Loud House premieres.

That shows that Nick isn't as overly reliant on SpongeBob as they've been for a long time. But could this also mean that The Loud House is knocking SpongeBob down, the way SpongeBob knocked Rugrats down back in the day?
