No X-men or Spider-Man, this board is trash.

Yeah, Jimmy Neutron was the next one I’d have picked if I could. Never watched or liked any of the other shows, honestly.

I'm a frugal Chinese man who uses coupons and hunts for deals. Clearly all the shows I want to pick should be BOGO.
Rocko's Modern Life and Doug are absolute steals at a dollar.

As someone who watched Nick religiously as a child:
Rocko at $1 is a steal. Spongebob, OddParents, and Jimmy Neutron were all gimmes. Honestly Arnold was too. I loved Hey Arnold as a kid. I liked the "boring" shows like Arnold and Doug. Sue me! They were comfort shows honestly. Really chill and calm and relaxing. Arnold I think is one of the best slice of life cartoons ever made. It still holds up personally. Doug I remember watching as a little kid but enjoyed more when I was older. I was a shy awkward kid who loved to doodle and had a big crush on a girl. So I guess I could just relate to him. I guess slice of life isn't really everyone's cup of tea but I always enjoyed it. Except As Told by Ginger. That show was too boring even for me. Probably because I wasn't middle school girl.
Rugrats was the toughest to leave out because I watched it the most besides the shows I picked. My brother and I had all the orange VHS tapes. But it just doesn't hold up as well. The parts with the parents are enjoyable now but... well, it's a show about babies. CatDog was also sort of tough to leave out. If I had an extra dollar I would add Chalkzone but alas, I don't.
I will also cheat and add Catscratch (horribly underrated show that deserved to last more than one season) and KaBlam! (maybe one of Nick's most obscure toons?) for free seeing as they weren't listed.

A man of culture, I see
I would swap Rocko and Rocket Power's values honestly... I know Rocket Power had its fans but while I never hated it, I never went out of my way to watch it either and given it was firmly a product of the tail end of the 90s, I can't imagine it's aged well at all

Wild Thornberrys is my hang up and I'm sleeping on it. I liked it a lot.

My stance still stands. Both were better than anything Disney had. They were god tier shows, I’d include Batman but that was weekday. Full disclosure, I didn’t have Disney.

Have you watched rockos “recently?” It does not hold up at all. The animation, the jokes, nothing.

Think about it. I’ve watched every single Flyers game this year but that show made me quit.

When I was over friends or families houses we’d watch the help out of it.
The wife and I tried to watch the baseball episode and we had to turn it off halfway through.

If you're talking live action shows I'm disappointed in all of you for not saying Kenan and kel! Lol but my favorite cartoon as a kid was Aaaaaah real monsters

I barely watched Disney Channel even as a kid because it was already mostly crappy kidcoms by then. There were like two or three Disney shows I watched but that was it.
I watched like one episode of Avatar. It was not my kind of show and I always hated anime (which I realize now it's not but it's close enough for me). I realize I am 100% alone in this stance.
I'm going to need you to watch yourself. That was my favorite episode as well as the movie theater one that it was paired with. Granted I haven't seen it in probably 15 years but my standards haven't been raised since then so I would 100% still enjoy it.

I’m telling you, watch the episode. It was great as a kid, but it’s not as good as we remember. Terrible animation, bad writing, huge voids of nothingness in the background scenery.
Looking back on it, I’m amazed the show was picked up with its quality.

I'm sorry sir but IMDb doesn't lie
I think I have the first season of Rocko on DVD, I will have to rewatch this episode at some point and judge for myself.
