Rediscover 57 Fan Favorite Nickelodeon Shows from the 2000s

“Who loves orange soda? Kel loves orange soda!” If you don’t remember this iconic line, then perhaps it’s time to binge-watch this hilarious show. It follows the misadventures of two best friends, Kenan and Kel, with opposing personalities. Kenan is scheming and ambitious but often finds himself entangled in Kel’s hilarious antics. The duo have a comedic chemistry like no other.

Back At The Barnyard follows the silly adventures of Otis the cow and his farm animal friends from the OG movie Barnyard. The gang lives through plenty of misadventures while trying to hide their anthropomorphism secret from their human keepers. Okay, so both the movie and the series suffered criticism mainly because of its depiction of bulls having udders, but it is a genuinely fun watch nonetheless. So let’s just not focus on the bull udders, shall we?

All That was the equivalent of Saturday Night Live but for kids. The sketch comedy show had plenty of memorable sketches like Good Burger and Vital Information and became a launching pad for stars like Kenan Thompson and Amanda Bynes. The satirical skits are still entertaining today.

Big Time Rush is a musical comedy like no other, and for the simplest reason ever — the band members. What’s so different about them? Well, the four guys, Kendall, James, Carlos, and Logan, are hockey players from Duluth, Minnesota – an occupation that’s as far from performing in a boy band as it can be! Naturally, the guys fall into plenty of Hollywood misadventures trying to hit it big in the pop music world with the support of their mega-producer. By 2009, Nickelodeon’s producers had the art of making a sitcom down to a science, so although there’s not much original content in Big Time Rush, you’ll still find yourself entertained!

Invader Zim is a quirky dark comedy that will leave you in splits. The show follows the misadventures of an inept alien named Zim, sent to Earth by his alien overlords to conquer it. Despite his lack of competence, Zim attempts to outsmart Earth’s inhabitants. This show has some graphic scenes that may gross you out. Remember the giant zit that can mind-control people? Or the alien babies that merge into a giant mass! Definitely not suitable for kids under 10.

Dora the Explorer is geared towards preschoolers. It follows Dora and Boots on interactive adventures and promotes learning through play and exploration. Small kids will love this show as it teaches new words, colors, and shapes.

If you like silly humor, you will love this show. The series centers around two energetic best friends who constantly find themselves in trouble but always find a way out, thanks to their playful charm. The show also gave rise to the “but awesome” memes.

The Angry Beavers follows the comedic escapades of two beaver brothers, Daggett and Norbert, as they navigate the challenges of building their own dam and living in the wild. The show became a favorite for its slapstick humor.

The spooky show originally ran in the 90s and had two revivals due to its immense popularity. The show features a group of teenagers known as the Midnight Society, who share spooky stories around a campfire. Some of the episodes are pretty scary (especially The Frozen Ghost, featuring Melissa Joan Hart), so we’ll recommend it only for kids aged 10 or older.

All Grown Up! is the spin-off of Rugrats. In this show, the rugrats have grown up into adolescents. Angelica is (finally) nicer, Chuckie is a risk-taker, and Dil is a genius. A very refreshing sequel that adults can enjoy, too.
