Most Underrated Nickelodeon Shows

The Top Ten
1 Avatar: The Last Airbender Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asiatic-like world in which some people are able to manipulate the classical elements by use of psychokinetic variants of Chinese ...read more.

Huh? I see praise for this show almost everywhere. I guess it didn't reach memetic status like pre-movie SpongeBob so I guess I can kind of understand.

This show looks awesome, but it's kind of overrated. SpongeBob SquarePants is a comedy show, and Avatar is an action show.

Avatar is one of the most beautifully animated, well-written, heart-melting cartoons of all time.

I don't know why losers say ICarly is better than victorious. Victorious is actually a good show, unlike stupid ipoopy (icarly).

2 My Life as a Teenage Robot My Life as a Teenage Robot is an American animated science fantasy television series created by Rob Renzetti for Nickelodeon.

CHILDHOOD. This was a weird show, no doubt, but at the same time, it was one of the more normal Nick shows. The best comparison of this show to another is The Power Puff Girls, but it was still a very different show (ex: teenage singular female hero vrs. 3 kindergarten female heroes). It had things for boys, like robots and fighting, with just the right amount of things for girls, and with things teens could relate to as well. It was unique, and it had an awesome art style. The change ranged from normal teen girl to the male version of Yandere-chan, minus murder. What's not to love?

It was very unique from all the other Nickelodeon cartoons, the concept was original, the characters had depth, a creative art style, and the story arcs are very diverse. There will be no other like it...

This show was so epic and funny at the same time! It's very underrated!

Such a good show

3 Victorious Victorious is an American sitcom created by Dan Schneider that originally aired on Nickelodeon from March 27, 2010 through February 2, 2013 . The series revolves around aspiring singer Tori Vega, a teenager who attends a performing arts high school called Hollywood Arts High School, after taking her ...read more.

Best Show on Nickelodeon, There is a list why this show is Amazing, It Funny epically Cat Valentine, It's Entertaining and They Never run out of Ideas. I Wish That Victorious Could Return and Make More New Episodes.

To the person who said "It's a Hannah Montana rip off, if you love this show, then you are anorexic & drunk, stop watching this dump." Go get help for your obvious anger issues. Thanks!

Best show in Nickelodeon. It has a great ensemble that made it funny. I really love the whole cast especially jade and cat. I wish the show last longer.

I love this T.V. Show it's better than some shows on the Disney Channel come on start liking this show.

4 Back at the Barnyard Back at the Barnyard is a Nickelodeon computer-animated television series that is a spin-off from the 2006 film, Barnyard.

This show is hilarious. People hate on it but I have never laughed so hard at a cartoon. Especially Freddy

I like Pig and the Mouse. I forgot the Mouse. I remembered that the pig was called Pig.

They say the movie is better than the show, and I totally disagree!

First it was an amazing movie, then a show which is ok, but where is the mexican mouse sheen?

5 Invader Zim Invader Zim is an American animated television series created by Jhonen Vasquez for Nickelodeon. The series centers on an extraterrestrial named Zim from the planet Irk, and his mission to conquer Earth and enslave the human race along with his malfunctioning robot servant GIR.

Are you kidding me? This is the most overrated show on Nickelodeon! Why did I post this? Now a whole bunch of Invader Zim fanboys will attack me! Remember, I'm only one person. Anyone who is going to respond to this and say that this is the most underrated show on Nickelodeon, just hit the dislike button. Anyways, I don't see what people see in this show. I don't know why people like it, I just don't understand..

Actually this is not underrated. It has a lot of really good reviews. And Yes I agree this show is awesome and should have never been canceled

This show has hooked me, but it's not underrated or overrated. It's highly praised.
Many people like dark stuff, and they like Death Note. That's why they love this.

This show is overrated. Almost as overrated as SpongeBob.

6 The Fairly OddParents The Fairly OddParents is an American animated television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon.

This shows should be higher ranked then SpongeBob because I think this show is too underrated I mean why do people prefer SpongeBob over fairly oddparents SpongeBob SquarePants deserves to be lower ranked I LOVE FOP!

This show is AMAZING. Sadly, it keeps going on hiatus, constantly, so kids nowadays barely see it. SCREW SANJAY AND CRAIG, SCREW TMNT, AND ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS! This show should be aired more.

It used to be a really good show, until Season 6 happened. While that season was still tolerable, Season 7 onwards really wasn't.

7 House of Anubis House of Anubis is a mystery television series developed for Nickelodeon based on the Dutch-Belgian television series Het Huis Anubis.

HOA should get the recognition of all the other big name shows such as iCarly and Victorious but for some reason not as many people seem to know about it. This show is better than the more known shows on Nick and deserves to be acknowledges as the best!

Best show ever! No one watches it because it looks stupid, but once you start watching you're hooked. Season four hopefully!

I love this show so much - I think it is way too underrated but it has such a big fan bace I wish there was another season xx loved this show more than any other

Probably one of the only valid items on this list.

8 Rocko's Modern Life Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated television series created by Joe Murray for Nickelodeon. The series centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko as well as his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog Spunky.

This show is clever, hilarious, awesome, and inspiring. Thank God that Nickelodeon and the infamously copyright-heavy Viacom have finally allowed the Complete Series DVD set with all 4 seasons and all 52 episodes to be released on Amazon.

To be quite honest, this is comically overrated but is still easily by far one of THE greatest all-ages satire cartoons of all time regardless

YES! This show is great! I was not even born in the 90's and I still watch it on the internet good job!

Can't wait for the 2018 Rocko Special! It really needed more attention.

9 Brainsurge

Me and my brother just LOVE brainsurge we haven't seen it in awhile but we loved all the zany things that happened on that gameshow. Plus it's still a better show then spongebob ever will be.

It was pretty cool!

10 Catscratch Catscratch is an American animated television series created by Doug TenNapel (also known for creating Earthworm Jim). It was aired on both Nickelodeon and Nicktoons on July 9, 2005 and ended February 10, 2007. It is an adaptation of TenNapel's graphic novel, Gear, which is also the name of the cats' monster truck. The series features music composed by longtime TenNapel collaborator, Terry Scott Taylor. Catscratch's first DVD appearance was on Nick Picks Vol. 3, which came out on February 7, 2006 (though the DVD contained only "Bringin' Down the Mouse").

This show needs way more love, it's awesome, Blik Waffle and Gordon are such wonderful characters, and strangly Gordon is the only one who actually looks like a cat, Blik looks like an alternate version of Plankton, and I have no idea what Waffle looks like, these designs are so fantastic and creative, plus the awesomeness of having Waffle be voiced Pleekly from Lilo and Stitch, it's so funny to hear, and just the fact that all 3 of them are super rich and live in a mansion with their very own butler is just hilarious, the theme song isn't the best but it works, and unlike other rich people, instead of having them be obsessed with Beer, they're obsessed with ROOT BEER! I don't know why but to me tags just really funny, and this show's episode plots harken back to the old days where Nickelodeon wasn't afraid of making strange episode plots, where as now their show focus on just being in a normal town with gross people doing gross things *cough* Sanjay and Craig. Catscratch, Danny ...more

I miss this show but it was not around for long and it was a very underrated show

Funniest + Best Show on Nickelodeon This Is Why 2005 Is The Best Year

This needs to be number #1 this show is amazing

The Contenders
11 Big Time Rush Big Time Rush is an American television series that originally aired on Nickelodeon from November 28, 2009 until July 25, 2013. It was created by Scott Fellows (also the creator of Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and Johnny Test and the head writer of The Fairly OddParents)

This is very underrated its the best show on nickelodeon by far and the only other kids show that is better is Good Luck Charlie on Disney. Big time rush is funny, smart and the music is great. The acting is much better than a lot of the other shows like Icarly which is very overrated and is just people doing random things. The only problem with BTR is the sound-effects get annoying sometimes but besides that the shows is amazing and is number #1 on NICK!

Big time rush are real good singers, a real good inspiration, but most of all, real good friends. Kendall tends to freak, James loves himself, Carlos and his helmet lool, Logan and his brains. Gustavo and his shouting, good song writing and being MAJORLY UNattractive, Kelly, yawn this getting boring so... My point is, Btr should be the only show on nick, wait Nick should be called BTR. BTR ARE SO UNDERRATED!
Come on dudes, love BTR

BTR should be MUCH higher on this list-- almost every other show I've seen is a joke and big time rush is much more unique than your average nick/Disney/CN shows. They don't use a laugh track rather funny and awkward noises, they incorporate great and original music in almost every episode, and is genuinely the funniest and most clever show on this list.

it's an awesome show for kids, teens and all adults. and come on. "it's had the most watched premiere in nick history and also is the second place king when it comes to viewership. the first being icarly of course. but deafitnitly.

12 Fanboy & Chum Chum Fanboy & Chum Chum is an American 3D CGI animated television series created by Eric Robles for Nickelodeon. It is based on Fanboy, an animated short created by Robles for Nicktoons and Frederator Studios, which was broadcast August 14, 2009 to July 12, 2014 on Random! Cartoons. The series was first ...read more.

Whoever likes this show has no taste in real cartoons and should go to a mental hospital! Nobody wants to watch the stupidest show on Earth! I'd rather die than like this show! Same with everybody else! The characters are all idiots! The plot is boring! There's too much farting, vomiting, pooping, burping, all gross out humor! Its animation is the main problem! Its not funny either! I hate these idiotic children with a passion! It should be canceled! Not sorry fans! Do not watch this show EVER! Avoid all it costs please! Its as bad as everybody says it is!

this show is not so bad, even the dark age of SpongeBob is much worse because in that age of SpongeBob the characters make each other's lives miserly and it is very cruel and sadistic but fanboy and chum chum despite not being Good role models are not inappropriate, it is safe for children and is also very entertaining, has great stories such as those that occur in school, in the den of fans, the frosty market, or much great places with great characters even the series is good in my opinion for all this

This show should not be hated, it is not as bad as they say, some things are not meaningful but it is too entertaining has great secondary characters and then there would be no problem if they hated it but say it is the epor show or that there should not be that if it bothers me since there are worse sows than this, people should say that this show is only bad but not the worst

I feel like I'm the only person in this continent who thinks this show is awesome.

13 The Nanny The Nanny is an American television sitcom which originally aired on CBS from 1993 to 1999, starring Fran Drescher as Fran Fine, a Jewish fashion queen from Flushing, New York who becomes the nanny of three children from the New York/British high society.

The only reason people don't like it is because of Fran's weird voice.

I thot it waz retarted I watched now I can't stop! my friend thot it waz retarted I showed it 2 him now we both love it!

14 Aaahh! Real Monsters

YES! THIS SHOW IS FINALLY ON THE LIST! I LOVE THIS SHOW WITH A BURNING PASSION! AAAHH! REAL MONSTERS ROCKS! SHOW ME SOME LOVE, PEOPLE!

15 T.U.F.F. Puppy T.U.F.F. Puppy is a cartoon created by Butch Hartman. It ran on Nickelodeon from October 2, 2010 until April 4, 2015. It focused on Dudley Puppy and his partner Kitty Katswell as they protected Petropolis under the Turbo Undercover Fighting Force, or T.U.F.F.

Note on last one:oops...I Accidentally Used The FLAWS Instead Of The Good Things So Here You Go!
1.Is ACTUALLY FUNNY...Like Most Underrated Nicktoons Like Robot And Monster
2.The Voice Acters And Actresses Did An AMAZING Job
3.Art Styles Are AMAZING!
4(FINAL):IT'S GET SMART...WITH A DOG!

This show is terrible. The humour is stale and the characters act like annoying retards, especially Dudley. Easily one of the worst shows on Nick.

It doesn't get too much love, sure Dudley's annoying (I'm a dog hater) and so does the humor, but it's one of the better modern Nick cartoons.

Yes this is in my top three best Nickelodeon shows from the past 5 years!

16 Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius

I agree on The adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius being on the Underrated List. This Show only has 3 Seasons from 2002 to 2006. We totally need this show back.

Do you mean the movie or the show because the movie is Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius but the show is called Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.

This show is sooo underrated now. All people ever talk about is hate on Planet Sheen now and how it ruined Jimmy Neutron and never the actual show itself.

Think this is amongst the gods of nickelodeon like spongebob.

17 The Backyardigans The Backyardigans is a Canadian–American CGI-animated musical TV series created by Janice Burgess, It is a co-production of animation studio Nelvana and Nickelodeon Animation Studios.

This is one of the best animated shows of all time, yet it is greatly ignored....they even stopped showing it on Nick Jr......

It would be a lot more known if they re-created it as a show that's for kids who are to old for Nick Jr. and to young for TeenNick.

They should seriously replace dora the explorer with the backyarddigans I mean I use to love this show

I love this show, nick bring it back

18 Full House Full House is an American sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC. The show chronicles a widowed father, Danny Tanner, who enlists his best friend and brother-in-law to help raise his three daughters.

Full House isn't a Nickelodeon show.

I love this show it's way better than iCarly and Vicorious and that jumk that is npon Nickelodeon.

19 Bucket and Skinner's Epic Adventures Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures is an American teen sitcom that premiered on Nickelodeon on July 1, 2011.
20 The X's
21 Planet Sheen Planet Sheen is an American CGI animated television series. It is a spinoff series in the Jimmy Neutron franchise, focusing on the show's comic relief, Sheen Estevez, as he gets stranded on another planet. The show was hated by critics and fans for not using any of the original cast (besides the obvious), making Sheen dumber and more annoying than he was in the old show, and for the CGI being worse. It was cancelled after one season.

Deserves what it gets, for being unfaithful to Jimmy Neutron.

22 The Legend of Korra The Legend of Korra is an American animated television series that aired on the Nickelodeon television network from 2012 to 2014. It was created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino as a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender.
23 The Penguins of Madagascar The Penguins of Madagascar is an American CGI animated television series that has aired on Nickelodeon.

THIS SHOULD BE #1. IF YOU DON'T PUT THIS AT #1 AND BIG TIME RUSH AT #2, THAN THIS IS ONE OF THE STUPIDEST LISTS EVER. THIS IS SO UNDERRATED, IT SHOULD BE #2 ON EACH AND EVERY LIST ABOUT BEST CARTOONS (SPONGEBOB IS SLIGHTLY BETTER). I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW UNDERRATED THIS CARTOON IS! PUT THIS AT #1!

24 Robot & Monster

I love this show! The Bacon jokes are really funny! It hasn't been on reviewing websites like IMDB or T.V..com yet but I wanna check the score and see if this has a good score! Its cute. But its not perfect. There are things the creators should work on, plus the animation is okay. But its entertaining so that is the main reason why this show is good. Its way better than Victorious, T.U.F. F Puppy, All Grown Up, and Bucket and Skinner's epic adventures!

I agree with you! This needs more seasons and more episodes right now! The only reason why they cancelled this show is because the ideas are unoriginal. I wish that Nickelodeon would air the last two episodes of the first season and make more episodes! People who hate this show don't know that new SpongeBob is bad!

I LOVE THIS SHOW! It's the most underrated Nick show ever. For some weird reason everyone flames this show, and I think I know a reason: Ogo. Everyone really hates that mechanic, but I just think he's misunderstood. For those who don't watch this show, Ogo is a mechanic(a man made alive thing) that loves Robot and Monster however at times can be a bit creepy. My favorite episodes:
Grandma's Day Out
Don't! Walk!
Apartment 3 1/2
Nobody Panic!
Speak, Marf, Speak
Lil Lugnuts
Litterbug
The Prince of Scamtown
And more! I love Marf, Monster(and Robot, but I'm more of a Monster person), Grandma Default(Robot's grandma), Crikey, and other characters(minus Gart and B. Holder, who are both jerks). Great show!

Deserve better. Fantastic show with a lot of funny moments.

25 The Ren & Stimpy Show The Ren & Stimpy Show, often simply referred to as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon.

This show is golden. Greatest show of all time in my opinion. It has lots of mixed humor and does gross out humor just right.

I think it gets too much hate. It's my favorite Nicktoon besides SpongeBob.
