SpongeBob SquarePants
SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated television series created by marine biologist and animator the late Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon. It is currently the most popular animated television show on Nickelodeon and is world-renowned by children and adults alike due to its humor, high-quality... read more SpongeBob is the best show on Nick. I have been watching it ever since the first episode. I don't know what people are talking about when they say SpongeBob is annoying. His voice and laugh do not bother me at all. My favorite character is Squidward because he is really funny and sarcastic.
Still the best show ever on television. I am 18 and still a huge fan of the show. It is just awesome, fantastic, and the best show ever made.
SpongeBob is the best on Nick. TDI never! SpongeBob rocks, although the new ones are not as good as the old ones.
Gravity Falls
Gravity Falls is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation that first aired on Disney Channel, and then on Disney XD from June 15, 2012 to February 15, 2016. The series follows the adventures of Dipper Pines and his twin sister Mabel in the fictional town of Gravity... read more Gravity Falls is one of the few shows in the world, let alone for children, that actually understands the concepts of time traveling, foreshadowing, and continuity.
The fact that it also doesn't belittle children's intelligence by dumbing things down and incorporates adult topics and jokes only makes it better. You say it's a rip-off of Scooby-Doo? Does Scooby-Doo have genuine sibling friendship? Does it have relatable characters with rich lives and backstories apart from each other? Does it have an awesome female lead whose traits are inherently feminine? Does it take place within a finite, believable timeframe? No? I didn't think so. So don't say it's a rip-off. Just. Don't.
Gravity Falls should be first on the list, no matter how long SpongeBob or Fairly OddParents has run.

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 Most would say that having a fictional world in which a war brings every neighboring country to the brink of disaster is a bad influence on kids. I'd say that this is very much the opposite!
Children aren't going to stay young forever. Some kids live in war-torn countries. When they watch shows like this, they can relate. Who in their right mind would watch SpongeBob and "relate" to the character?
It has a sense of reality in it that if someone told me this was actually happening in an alternate universe somewhere, I'd probably not have second thoughts! So well done, Nickelodeon. Now all you have to do to make my life better is to adapt the graphic novel Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi and turn it into a 2D animated show. Then you'll be top dog!
The Fairly OddParents
The Fairly OddParents is an American animated television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. The Fairly OddParents is the best cartoon in the world.
Total Drama
Total Drama is a Canadian animated comedy television series which is a homage and parody to the conventions commonly found in reality television. This aired in 100 countries. I totally agree it's the second best show I've ever seen. The first is Dance Moms!
Man, I love this show. It has comedy with a pinch of drama, just the way I love it.
TDI was the best. I just want another season like TDI.
Phineas and Ferb
Phineas and Ferb is an American animated comedy-musical television series. Originally broadcast as a one-episode preview on August 17, 2007 and again previewed on September 28, 2007, the series officially premiered on February 1, 2008 and ended on June 12, 2015 on Disney Channel, and follows Phineas... read more This makes me inspired to use my imagination more often and believe that you can do anything. It is also funny and some parts are romantic.
The series is imaginative, fun, and showcases something new every episode despite having a repetitive storyline.
I love the actions Perry the Platypus takes against Dr. Doofenshmirtz. The cool inventions that Phineas and Ferb create are great too.
Regular Show
Regular Show is an American animated television series created by J. G. Quintel for Cartoon Network that premiered on September 6, 2010. The series revolves around the lives of two friends, a blue jay named Mordecai and a raccoon named Rigby—both employed as groundskeepers at a local park. Regular Show is SO awesome! It has a good mix of a bit of adult humor but more excitement and humor for kids to enjoy. With the main characters being a blue jay and a raccoon, you can put pretty much everything in it. (Its original motto was "Regular Show - it's anything but.")
It has the classic touch of succeeding but then realizing you forgot something, or you fail and everything goes okay. Mordecai (the blue jay) and Rigby (the raccoon) are two slackers who get into large scenarios and tend to get away with it from their angry but sometimes cool boss, Benson.
All the elements of this show make Regular Show the perfect TV series.
Steven Universe
Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The show's based around a young boy by the name of Steven Universe, who is a hybrid of a gem and a human. He lives with his gem friends, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl. This and Avatar: The Last Airbender both need to be at the top of the list. This show is amazing. It is the first Cartoon Network show to be created by a woman, it has one of the first LGBT couples shown on a "kids" show, and breaks countless other barriers. Great plot, action, humor, CHARACTERS, and everything in between.
Love, love, love this show.
Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, and Avatar: The Last Airbender all need to be much higher on this list! They all get really deep and are hilarious.
The Suite Life of Zack & Cody

The series was first broadcast on Disney Channel on March 18, 2005, with 4 million viewers, making it the most successful premiere for Disney Channel in 2005.

This show just made my childhood awesome.
Over the Garden Wall
Over the Garden Wall is an American animated television miniseries created by Patrick McHale for Cartoon Network. Such a good show! The music is inspiring and the story is magnificent! If you haven't seen the show, it's only ten episodes and it will change your life!
It's not just the best kids' show, not just the best TV show ever, but the best work of fiction I've ever seen.

It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997, in the United States... read more I want to be the best, like no one ever was. Who doesn't sing the theme song whenever it turns on? No other show has 900 episodes, 17 seasons, a great storyline, and cool characters like this show.
Kids these days don't know what they missed. Those few 11-13 year olds and all the 14-26 year olds know what actual good shows are.
1. Pokemon
2. Fairly OddParents
3. Lilo and Stitch
4. Suite Life of Zack and Cody
5. That's So Raven
6. Jimmy Neutron
7. Wizards of Waverly Place
8. Dexter's Laboratory
9. Looney Tunes
10. iCarly
You just have to agree.
The episode Racing to a Big Event is my second favorite TV show episode, behind Band Geeks from SpongeBob.
Jimmy Neutron
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is an American computer animated television series created by John A. Davis. It is the first spin-off to the 2001 film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. This show is so good that it should have never ended. I mean, come on, a boy that is smart and builds weapons. Now that's a show I will always watch.
I am still upset with Nick for canceling it. Very underrated.
