3	''Rugrats Pre-School Daze'' (a.k.a. ''Angelica and Susie's Preschool Daze'') is a miniseries of four specials spun off from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''. With a new art style, it focused on Angelica and Susie as they entered preschool. The specials were adapted from, and named after, the ''Rugrats'' episode "[[Recap/RugratsS8E1PreschoolDaze Preschool Daze]]".

5	If you've never heard of this series, don't worry, neither have even most hardcore ''Rugrats'' fans. Only ''[[ShortRunners four episodes]]'' were ever produced. It was originally meant to get 13 episodes before it was announced in a [[https://web.archive.org/web/20041213175814/http://www.rugratonline.com/tweens2.htm press release]], that the series would "take the form of four specials targeted for telecast in 2003-04", which it never did air.

7	The show is quite obscure for something based off of one of Nickelodeon's most iconic franchises, and there is a very good reason for that: the series only ever saw an official release as "bonus features" on the ''Tales from the Crib'' direct-to-DVD series from 2005/06. It didn't air on TV in the US, but did for the UK in 2005. When Nick finally aired ''Pre-School Daze'' between November and December 2008, [[ScrewedByTheNetwork it was buried in an early morning timeslot where no kid would be awake to see it]].

9	Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} has more or less [[BuryYourArt disowned]] the specials, since they have removed them from iTunes and all other streaming websites. You can only (legally) watch it on the aforementioned DVD releases.
