Abd how old are you?
I'm 25 (gonna be 26 in less than a month)
I guess 1998 is when I stopped watchin nickelodeon, I do remember when catdog came on so that was fall 1998, so it wasn't long after that when I stopped watchin, I know it was before spongebob began, which I never had an interest of ever watching, and thus stopped watchin nick, then again dec 98 I was 14 so yea guess I grew out of it.

I of course do think nick of the late 80s - mid 90s was the best :)
Interstingly most shows ive rewatched, like when Nick GaS was a channel, but also shows like salute your shorts, are you afraid of the dark via youtube.
I haven't rewatched doug til now, I was browsin on demand and checked nick to see if it had any old shows and it did, a few doug episodes so I watched it, so fun to watch it 13 years later or so, and especially that blog that points out how crazy doug is, is great.

I'm 28 and I think I pretty much stopped watching in either 1999 or 2000.

Once they took Doug out of its usual 7 PM ET timeslot, the only time to catch it was 2 PM ET or so, I believe. Of course, I was in school at 2 PM. I think I vaguely remember tuning in during the summer around then, but eventually it wasn't even airing in that slot.

Rugrats had become unwatchable by then, and I had some sort of mental block against getting interested in any of the new shows Nickelodeon came up with after 1997 or so.

I'm 22. I stopped watching Nick when Avatar: the Last Airbender ended. I was around 18 at the time and still on summer break before heading into college. Avatar was pretty much the last show on Nick that was actually any good.

I don't remember the year. I'm 28 right now. It was somewhere around after the Amanda show started, but before the new all that cast. No sponge bob, no jimmy neutron. That's all new school for me haha!

I'm 26...I never completely stopped, but I rarely watch it now. The Hub has basically become my default network. I'll watch Spongebob sometimes, especially if it's a new one I haven't seen. But after they stopped showing their last three good series (Spongebob, Jimmy Neutron, & Fairly Oddparents) most of the time, and brought in the new junk that now constitutes the majority of it...they left me flat. They lost me. Classic 90s Nick was absolutely brilliant. Not a single kid in my schools didn't watch it. Thank GOODNESS for The 90s Are All That!!!

Why must everything always change for the worse?? I always say that we "90s kids" (born in the late 80s or early 90s) grew up during such a wonderful period to be a kid...our movies, TV, books, music, games, toys, fads, commercials, and products geared toward us were just so AWESOME. Looking objectively at what gets pushed at kids in more recent years? I know that, overall, it's not just rosy nostalgia talking; we really were outrageously lucky.

31. and I stopped watching around 2002-2003 when Taina and Caitlin's Way were canceled

I did however watch the Figure it out Revival, Wendell and Vinnie and True Jackson, VP

[–] PopSixSquish 11 years ago

I watched through the end of All That, and love The Amanda Show...Drake & Josh is okay, but it's no Kenan & Kel if you ask me. The Figure It Out revival was brief, I think. I'm sure I saw a little of it, but I'd rather re-watch all the awesome 90s game shows!

I'm 26 years old now. I started watching Nickelodeon in 1994 (age 6) and probably stopped watching in 2000 (age 12).

I absolutely loved Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, and Rugrats the most during that time! I also watched All That, The Secret World of Alex Mack, Clarissa Explains it All, and Hey Arnold. I never really liked Angry Beavers, Catdog, Rocket Power, or The Amanda Show.
I think it was once the good cartoons from the early to mid 90's cartoons got taken off the air and all the bad new cartoons started playing that I didn't care to watch anymore.
But I love to rewatch episodes of Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, and Rugrats! Lol.

I stopped watching when taina ended. That was one of the last great shows on there.

I'm 26, and I guess I stopped watching in the mid-2000's. At that point there just wasn't much that really interested me. SpongeBob, at that point, was already past its prime, and that was the only thing I really watched. I never got into Avatar when it was airing (finally did a few years ago).

I DO watch Legend of Korra, and I love it. But I don't have cable so I either stream the episodes on their site or wait for the Blu-rays.

27 I can't really remember when I stopped watching probably when I found out I was going to be a father for the first time that would have been 2002 I would have been 15 I had to grow up pretty fast after that lol. To be honest I had kind of stopped watching before then I would watch it sporadically but not as often as I used too. Doug , Keenan and kell , hey Arnold , rugrats , Ren and stiimpy are you afraid of the dark those were my favs and those were the days , I used to love those shows still do.

My daughter born in 2003 is 11 now and she watches nick from time to time with her younger sisters but it's just not how I remember it. It's the same with the Disney Chanel while I never thought it was ever as good as nick it was decent now it just blows my kids don't even watch it any more . but yeah mid -90s -2002 were my years I still watch when I can with my kids though
