OT Least favorite old Nickelodeon shows


Let me say this first, I grew up with 90s and early 2000s nickelodeon and most of these shows played a huge role in my childhood. Shows like hey arnold, rocko, invader zim, ren and stimpy, doug, and angry beavers ruled the day. With that being said, I'm intrested in knowing what shows back then you didn't like or least liked from that great era.

First, here's my take:
The first one that comes to mind is the Brothers Flub. A lot of you may not remember this that's because it only ran one season. And for a good reason. The show was about two brothers who are delivery boys in this alien type world (universe?) and from what I remember fought a lot, didn't get along with the other delivery people and they had a mean boss. I was really appealed to this show because it seemed like a rip off of the angry beavers and every episode was kind of the same. And it also had the most annoying intro ever. Seriously look it up on youtube.

Another old nick show that I didn't like was Butt Ugly Martians. i remember the ads for this show made it look more of a action type cartoon but really just like the Brothers Flub, episodes generally followed the same formula and it was weird. The jokes were dry and the action was not what it was hyped up to be. I only watched four episodes of this show.

The next show on the list is the Amanda Show. At first I liked it but as it went on I watched it less and found the humor to be to wacky and idiotic. I guess it's because when this show aired I was in my preteens and I was growing out of that type of humor.

The Angry Beavers
The Amanda Show

I stopped watching Nick around 2000 so I'm not familiar with Butt Ugly Martians or Brothers Garcia.

The Amanda Show. It was awful. In fact, I think that it was from that point when the live-action shows from Nickelodeon took a nosedive in quality. Now they are completely unwatchable.

I loved all the Nick shows back in the day, but recently I tried rewatching a few and found them awful. For example: Rocko's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, Angry Beavers.

Awesome shows = Hey Arnold, As Told By Ginger, Rocket Power, Doug, Wild Thornberrys!

I was pretty snobby as a kid. I never liked Hey Arnold or Wild Thornberries because I found them boring and unfunny. Catdog was probably my least favorite of them all for the same reasons and I also never understood what was going on, and I hated the animation. Pretty much anything Klasky Csupo was in my negatives (except for Rugrats) because the grainy and flat animation really turned me off. For whatever reason, I also flat-out detested Angry Beavers, even though I don't think the show is so bad anymore.

I could tolerate most of the older Nickelodeon shows from the 90s and early 00s, but I never did liked Invader Zim. I was never really a huge fan of Clarissa Explains It All, Salute Your shorts, and Are You Afraid Of The Dark?

Don't play games with a girl who can play better.
