Which generation era are your favorite? Of course, you can have multiple definition for shows, movies, blocks and logos.

Early to mid 1980s Pinball, mid to late 1980s Splat, 1990s Splat, 2000s and 2010s (after 2009 rebranding).

As for me, I grew up with 1990s Splat and it was major renaissance after series of struggles in 1980s. More new cartoon shows produced by Nicktoons and more new live action shows produced at their own studio, especially one at Universal Studios in Florida. They got several acquired shows like Looney Tunes, Lassie, Flipper, Dennis the Menace, Gumby, Beetlejuice, Muppet Babies and others. Nick Jr got cool faces and Nick At Nite aired 1950s to 1970s shows. Many kid game shows. I remember about Nick in the Afternoon to use spin to pick a show. My sister and I called for Rugrats but nah, they picked Doug instead. Movies air on special occasions like weekend and marathon is reserved for special day. I remembered about SNICK on Saturday and it was very special gift. That was one of most memorable cable channel that I seen.

After 1990s renaissance ended, I continue to watch Nickelodeon into early 2000s and become less after many of Nicktoon shows moved to Nicktoons channel, also many game shows moved to GaS in late 1990s. Animated shows got higher rating that led Nickelodeon to cut on numbers of new game shows and later, stopped all production. Looney Tunes got removed from Nickelodeon because Turner/WB want to be exclusive on Cartoon Network. My sister still watch Nickelodeon in 2000s since I mostly watch Nicktoons and GaS on some days.

Nickelodeon did great job to make their shows closed captioned but due to my language deprivation when I was kid, I wasn't able to read or understand. I look at action of shows and mostly ignored the closed caption.

I like numbers of post-2000s shows - '12 TMNT, Avatar, Korra, My Life as a Teenage Robot, All Grown Up! and The Loud House.

For me, it's the Noughties prior to their 2009 rebranding since it gave us the likes of All Grown Up, Danny Phantom and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

I was never an avid watcher of Nickelodeon. I would usually walk in on my younger brother (not Silverstar) and his friends or on some of my cousins when they were watching Nickelodeon. There were a few shows Nick that I tried not to miss, but I never watched Nick religiously.

I would probably say my favorite era is the era between 1993 and 1996, when Rocko's Modern Life was in production. That's when I watched Nick the most.

My interest starts in either 1991 or 1988 (depending on whether or not you include Count Duckula) and taps out around 2004 when Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents plateaued...or to put it another way the first show they were involved in that I care about premiered in 1988 and the last in 2001. Though to be fair I'd probably take The Loud House over some of the shows they had in that era (I also have a bit of a soft spot for Penguins of Madagascar...although I find it hard to think of that as a Nicktoon and not just a Dreamworks show).

I’m not really well versed in the different eras of Nick, but I watched it most from the summer of 1998 to early 2000-ish. I hardly ever watched the channel as a young child aside from occasionally Nick @ Nite with my dad. Then one day during the summer heading into the 3rd grade I turned the tv on in the morning and Nick was on. I watched Rugrats for the first time, and I was hooked.

As for me, when Nickelodeon aired Flipper, Lassie and Dennis the Menace, so they went disappear in mid 1990s. At same time, Nick At Nite aired most shows from 1950s to 1970s.

The era where they held back The Electric Piper for 3 years and aired it only once leaving it to become lost media for the next 13 years

The CSC Channels prior to 2017 were actually amazing. A shame it was all thrown under the bus.
Lesson learned. Never talk to anyone ever.
