History AdoredByTheNetwork / Nicktoons

* Before it also got ScrewedByTheNetwork, WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard'' would get treated nicely ad well, premieres would constantly air at a pretty good time around late 2009-late 2010. The show even gets to occasionally air on Nicktoons, with constant marathons.

** When the show first made it out of the USA in 1992, Nickelodeon chose France as the first country outside the US to get Rugrats, and Canal+ had to cancel another show just to get Rugrats on the air. You might not believe it, but the show they cancelled was: ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', which was off-air in France for almost a year afterwarss.

* Since spring 2021, the Nicktoons channel has pretty much devolved into a 24/7 clone of the main Nick channel (without the Nick Jr and Nick @ Nite blocks), with [=SpongeBob=] and The Loud House (two shows that are already oversaturated on Nick) and its spinoff gaining more slots every passing month. Every classic/ended shows not named FOP (and occasionally Rugrats) are no longer airing on the channel and if an ended show does return to Nicktoons, it doesn't last long. The only good thing about the channel nowadays is that they mostly ditched the live-action programming since the summer so it now lives up to its name again.

** Every other Nick channel also loves ''Rugrats'' as it has aired on every Nick sister channel (though it was only one day on Nick At Nite), an honor not even ''[=SpongeBob=]'' has [[note]] Not counting a simulicast of the musical, [=SpongeBob=] has yet to air on Nick Jr.[[/note]]. It aired on Nicktoons for years (And still occasionally does for marathons), currently airs on [=TeenNick=] (as apart of [=NickRewind=]), and even aired on Nick Jr. (as part of the short-lived [=NickMom=] and the main channel).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' was the first Nicktoon to get this treatment. After the show was brought out of hiatus due to the ratings for the reruns being strong, the show dominated most of the lineup and was running at least four times for everyday of the week, as well as winning Best Cartoon for Kids Choice Awards 6 years in a row (1996-2001). This led to Nickelodeon using Creator/KlaskyCsupo [[WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters to]] [[WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys produce]] [[WesternAnimation/RocketPower several]] [[WesternAnimation/AsToldByGinger new]] [[WesternAnimation/AllGrownUp shows]] for the network, including the ''Rugrats'' SpinOff ''All Grown Up'' (born from another overhyped special which received the highest rated premiere in the network's history). Meanwhile, all the other Nicktoons were basically ignored to the background or canceled outright (especially ''[=KaBlam!=]'' and ''Invader Zim''). It was seriously still running when Nicktoons such as ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' premiered. Though ''Rugrats'' was nowhere near as AdoredByTheNetwork back then as ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' (see their pages above) are now.

* Before it became renamed to "The Splat" (and later "[=NickSplat=]" and "Creator/NickRewind" - the latter is the current name of the block), [=TeenNick=]'s late night "The '90s Are All That" pretty much exclusively aired ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' for several years.
** Even with that said, ''[=NickRewind=]'' does still tend to air the same cartoons often: ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'', ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', and ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers''.
** ''{{WesternAnimation/Rugrats}}'', ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'' and ''{{WesternAnimation/Doug}}'' (Nickelodeon seasons only) have had mostly permanent time slots since each show debuted.[[note]]''WesternAnimation/CatDog'', a formerly permanent show, got dropped in 2018 for unknown reasons and ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', a semi-permanent show, has aired on and off since it debuted; it briefly got dropped in 2018 due to controversies surrounding the [[Creator/JohnKricfalusi creator]], but it would return the following year.[[/note]]

* Before it became the more diverse "The Splat" and later "[=NickSplat=]", [=TeenNick=]'s late night "Series/The90sAreAllThat" pretty much exclusively aired ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' for several years.

* ''WesternAnimation/RocketPower'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrys'' were all over the network in the late 90's and early 2000's. Both shows had frequent airings and promotion and had several merchandise tie-ins (and in the latter's case, two [[WesternAnimation/TheWildThornberrysMovie theatrical]] [[WesternAnimation/RugratsGoWild movies]]). Nick's plan to make them their next ''Rugrats'' did not work as well as they expected, likely due to ''[=SpongeBob=]'' overshadowing both series around the same time.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' was immediately popular back in the 2000s (compared to the other cartoon that premiered on the same day, ''Invader Zim'', which was quickly ScrewedByTheNetwork) and quickly became the second-highest-rated children’s program among kids ages 2-11 on both network and cable television, behind ''[=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=]''. The series managed to briefly steal [=SpongeBob=]'s spot as the number one highest rated children's television program in mid 2003. ''The Fairly [=OddParents=]'' also attracted a wide audience, appealing to teenagers and adults as well as kids. It has produced several TV movies, as well as three live-action adaption movies, starring Drake Bell. However, the show eventually got [[ScrewedByTheNetwork screwed]] by having multiple delays, cutting its budget in half and moving the series to the Nicktoons channel.

* ''WesternAnimation/MiddlemostPost is getting lots of love. It airs at least 3-4 times a day, despite the fact that there are only a few episodes released yet.

* ''WesternAnimation/ItsPony'' was looking to be the next adored Nicktoon. Its first episode was aired at least 6 times within the first couple days, a kind of treatment that has been lacking for most modern Nicktoons outside of the Loud House. [[ScrewedByTheNetwork This didn't last]], [[ExaggeratedTrope AT ALl]].
