1991-1997
You're thread sucks.
Who say the Pete and Pete marathon? How was it?
Grew out of Nickelodeon just as Spongebob was taking off. I remember because the last issue of the magazine I got was a spongebob/rocket power premiere one
I wasn't allowed to watch cartoons.
87-94ish, beginning with YCDTOTelevision and ending just before All That
probably 98-05 with some variation
I would say the golden age lasted until the year 2000. After that Nickelodeon went to shit.
late golden age/early silver age
We never got that channel when I was a kid, so I missed out on pretty much all the 'good stuff'.
I was all aboard that USA cartoon express though.
youtube.com
I bet your family only bought store-brands/off brand groceries as well.
Time 2 get comfy
I think the silver age began in 1998 because shows like Catalog and Wild thornberrys came out then, which were not as good as the older ones.
And the rugrats movie came out then, beginning the Dil era of Rugrats, a "jump the shark" moment for fans of the show. And the moment where Nick started milking the show past its prime, similar to what would happen to Spengebap after the movie.
Basically, yea. Aside from those little 'Hug' drinks or whatever they were, it was all generic, all the time.
Didn't even get my first Nintendo till 4-5 years after it came out, but it was still good times.
>USA cartoon express
But did you stay Up All Night?
Silver Age and Bronze Age.
I was born 5 months before SpongeBob premiered.
this was my favorite show /comfy/
Silver age
Both when it was hosted by Rhonda and Gilbert Godfrey later on.
Tnt Monstervison was pretty great when that started up as well.
>tfw there will never be comfy shit like this on tv ever again
To me the second generation nicktoons like Hey Arnold, Kablam, Angry Beavers, etc extended Nickelodeon's golden age. When SpongeBob started airing in the 2000s, that's when Nickelodeon went to shit. I get what you're saying though, 97-98 is when All That changed its opening intro and some of the old cast left.
probably late 80s to whatever was shown before hey arnold started airing marketer.
randomly watched an ep of shows here and there for years after if remotes lost/nothing on.
Silver/bronze
Just missed '93 and was born early Jan '94.
I remember enjoying Wild and Crazy Kids, Nick Arcade, What Would You Do, Rugrats, all the family double dare type shows, All That (I remember how hype it was when they were picking new addition to the cast and they overlooked the kid doing a Jim Carrey act), Kenan and Kel, Figure It Out, Hey Arnold, and yeah, Rocket Power.
I absolutely lost my shit when either Legends of the Hidden Temple or GUTS came on.
Post 2000 I still was able to enjoy Invader Zim, early Jimmy/Fairly Odd Parents, Slime Time Live, Teenage Robot, Drake and Josh, Danny Phantom, and Ned's Declassified, and Avatar, but it was fairly obvious that the golden age was over and to that I'd have to start relying on reruns of reruns to get the quality experience I expected of Nickelodeon as a kid.
was she gay?
>tfw you've seen so much r34 of something that its forever tainted it for you
Best show they ever produced didn't appear until 2005 though
No but the popular blonde girl was. Creators even said so
1998-2005
invader zim and ren and stimpy were the shit
Why didn't Josh invite Drake to his wedding?
Loud house era desu
>someone claims to be a 90s kid
>were actually born in the 90s
Sorry, you have to have been born in the 80s.
HEY SMILIN' STRANGE
>oldfags being retarded
do you even know what "kid" means?
"90s kid" means you grew up in the culture of the 90s. You don't get to rep it if you're born in 1999 and weren't conscious for any of it.
ow my head
inbetween gold and silver age with reruns of golden age shit
also a lot of golden age tapes
...
Are you a woman or a gay guy?
I don't see anything straight boys would like in this show, the girls weren't even cute or waifuable.
I didn't grow up with MLaaTR but any image of Jenny = instaboner because of that Zone flash
I don't really like the porn of Jenny. Jenny is supposed to be cute, not sexy. And all of them draw her off model.
Mostly golden age, but I have vague memories of You Can't Do That On Television.
The first show I remember watching regularly was You Can't Do That on Television. The firing squad bit was a stand out. Kinda fucked looking back on it. The SNICK block of shows were my favorites. Rugrats, Rocko, Angry Beavers, Cat Dog, Ahh, real Monsters, Doug, etc. When Rocket Power picked up is when I checked out. So basically anything 2000 or later i don't know about.
Does anyone remember the Nickel-O-Zone? Where the animated O was the host? And there were 3D bits in some episodes?
Remember Stick Stickly? And the on-going story about his long-lost family?
straight boy, my sister liked watching it and it grew on me. also ginger was a cutie to me back then
Doug B.C. - Spongebob A.D.
1998 to 2005 enough to enjoy some of the last decent series and SpongeBob when it was good.
Oh man, nickelooooooooozoooooone
The silver age and bronze age. Kablam was my favorite nicktoon and pete and pete was my favorite live action show
Mostly Golden Age. I was still watching in Silver but all I care to remember was Golden and reruns of Golden in the Silver.
The '80s shit was so much better, somewhat unpolished but that's the charm of it. You Can't Do That On Television was the best kids show I've ever seen. I can't imagine a better one desu. The '90s became cringeworthy fast if you saw the '80s stuff :-/
>grew up in the culture of the 90s = not conscious of it
if anything you'd be more conscious in a nostalgic chidlhood way because your childhood will stand out as radically different from your adulthood
No, I mean conscious like you weren't an infant and your brain was actually retaining memories of what was happening around you.
All you're saying is that you saw it from an older perspective. What does that matter? We're not talking about experiencing it from an adult's point of view where they understand every machination of the 90's era. We're talking growing up in that time and having your childhood affected by it. People have memories from when they were 3, let alone 4 years old.
Factor in the fact that every era seeps into the next a little bit, and you could cut off "experiencing the 90's" well past 1999, as long as you were conscious.
Golden age
Golden age. Born in 86. Like the other guy, right when SpongeBob was catching on is when I guess I outgrew it and stopped watching. Favorites were Ren and Stimpy, Rockos Modern Life, and Legends of the Hidden Temple.

Pinwheel, You Can't Do That On Television

HEY DUDE, DOUBLE DARE, SALUTE YOUR SHORTS, ROCKOs MODERN LIFE
Salute Your Shorts had some comfy episodes. Angry Beavers always had the best comfy episodes when they did those 50s monster movie parodies.
1994 here, grew up in LA until 2001, at which point I moved to the Brooklyn.
I think the contrast in setting helped me retain a lot of older memories I feel I should have forgotten. I do frequent checks with family members to see if I'm remembering everything right and 9 times out of 10 I remember every major detail correctly. Going back and watching old nick commercials helps me remember everything too.
But definitely past 90's cartoons, a lot of my kid years was spent tinkering with net zero/AOL, yahoo chat rooms or forums and spending the entire day hoping my flash game download didn't cancel.
Same experience here

If you don't have actual memories of 9/11, you don't remember what the 90s were like. The fucking awful clothing we wore as kids.
>Avatar
>Spongebob Squarepants
can we all agree that these two are the toppest notch, realist shit that Nickelodeon ever put out? Fairly Odd Parents, Invader Zim, Hey Arnold etc are good shouts, but they just miss the mark.
that's a fair cutoff. That's basically what made sure that the 90's vibe would never live again.
I loved my overalls and light-up shoes though
>You Can't Do That on Television
>SNICK stuff
>Doug
>Hey Dude / Salute Your Shorts / Clarissa
This, and I saw a lot of old campy could've-been-british Nick programming, like Finder's Keepers and some show in a mall where i think they're all mannequins and it's fairy tale, NOT Eureeka's Castle; one of the male protags looks like a skinny golfer
Hey Arnold scratched an itch for me because he was a cool character, if without too many real flaws, had a yandere waifu, and lives in a setting that afforded him a lot of freedom. It's not like every episode was a hit, but it was nice to see the perspective of life in a city versus the suburbs every other cartoon portrayed, even good ones like the Weekenders, or Recess.
This, at least if you're a burger
I don't think younger posters realize how profoundly the climate of the country changed after 9/11

Core childhood = ages 6-10
Going by this formula
Born 1984-1989 = Le 90s kids
Born 1990-1993 = 90s/2000s hybrids
Born 1994-1997 = Early-mid 2000s kids
Born 1998-2003 = Mid-late 2000s kids
but the topic was experiencing the 90's. Nigga 2000 is still 90's, easily.
Gawd I miss their cheesy but amazing live action shows.

How old can you possibly be
I remember watching Duckman then staying up for this.
Also remember jerking off to her playboy set when I was like 11. I love you Rhonda.
Yeah, I remember there was a vague, but definitive point where I went from "these live-action Nick guys are hilarious!" to "these live-action Nick guys are annoying..."
1982 baby here. 90s-00s was the best for every network. Sorry to you early 90s babies.
Kenan and Kel had my favorite opening of any nick show period. It had that groovy g funk shit, and it just always got you in the mood.
youtube.com
Would get always get sad if I tuned in while the credits were playing. Same with Hey Arnold. Those credits always left me feeling bittersweet.
*Late 90s babies
Early to mid 90s babies still saw good shows like Megas Xlr, Recess, Samurai jack, etc. There's more of a difference when you get to those born about 1998 onward who grew up on Hannah montana, the big bang theory, justin beiber, iPhones.
No it's not really, the 90s was already beginning to fade away in 1997 when Spice girls and Backstreet boys wiped grunge off the charts, Internet started getting big, Simpsons golden age ended with "The Principal and the Pauper", etc
>yfw this is now a copypasta
>90s was already beginning to fade away in 1997 when Spice girls and Backstreet boys wiped grunge off the charts, Internet started getting big, Simpsons golden age ended with "The Principal and the Pauper", etc
no, that's just called late 90's. 00's culture still went into the 2000s. It takes more than a tv show and backstreet boys to change that. And people barely starting off with computers was definitely 90s, whereas in the mid 2000s it was starting to take off.

Theres probably tonnes more.
My parents worked so I'd goto my grandparents place after school with my siblings and just watch cartoons. It was great. Miss you pa and nana.
>mixing pleb disney snows in with based nick shows
disgusting
Stop being young.
Obscure pre-golden age through golden age I guess. Watched starting in '88, I remember loving Eureka's Castle which got me hooked on the channel. Otherwise I'd play outside
who boy meets world + even stevens here?
that was all I pulled from disney channel unless it was a baller original movie like paper brigade or brink. Otherwise it was all nick, cartoon network, kids wb or fox.
>hes a company man
goyim faggot
>1991-1997
>le scribbly animation with wierd puke looking color patterns, annoying literal retard characters and shit plot lines
This style of cartoon aged like SHIT
It's interesting how there's a fair amount of late 30s-40s people on Sup Forums, sometimes even guys in their 50s.
I like you oldfags, you're chilled out. Did William Shatner's tweet bring you guys here, or were you always here?
I didn't start watching until the golden age started, but it was early enough that I caught a lot of the very obscure age programming. I dipped out during the silver age.
I came here from YTMND and AlmightyLOL when Sup Forums started. Before that random forums, before that I was introduced to the internet through MUDs.
Bill probably did the same thing. I know he checked out YTMND at least once.
who cares
>born in 91
>stopped watching around 2007 when I got my drivers license
Mid-Golden to Mid-Silver.
I remember watching Gumby on Nick and when Rugrats was new.
I stopped watching around 2002 or 3.
>or were you always here?
Ive been here a decade now
I used to be on Totse, when Sup Forums started getting a reputation for being "bad" Totse posters used to make fun of Sup Forums because its an Anime imageboard.
I only came over to make fun of the site, but liked the place enough to stay.
Sup Forums was all the fun of the Half Baked forum without any of the circlejerking of certain members, or having any accountability of saying something stupid or contradictory
I remember pre-nicktoons Nick, but only vaguely. I do remember the original 3 being advertised to hell and back before they premiered. (and that I couldn't pronounce "Rugrats" as a 4-year-old)
Not in terms of cartoons. The shift to 2000s animation began in 98-99 with Pokemon.
Born in '91 so I'd say half gold half silver. Stopped watching around 2003 whenever Jimmy Neutron came out
