you're forgetting that they're the last generation where one show could command a sizable population to engage with it at the same time. an average episode wont win everyone over but they had their moments when half the culdesac was watching. it's the shows + the event around it.
Recess exists because two writers lost a fight over how mean Angelica Pickles should be.
Paul Germain co-created Rugrats. His son inspired Tommy. Angelica came from a real bully in his childhood, and he wanted to write her that way. His team started penning darker episodes exploring why a three-year-old torments the babies.
Co-creator Arlene Klasky hated it. She thought Angelica was too cruel and the storylines too mature. Critics praised those exact episodes. The rift over one cartoon character split the creative team behind the biggest kids' show on TV.
So Germain walked. He took Joe Ansolabehere, story editor of the first 65 Rugrats episodes, straight to Disney.
Their new show kept the same core trick, kids running a hidden society adults never see, and aged it up to fourth grade. Germain named the school after Third Street, the real elementary school his own kids attended. The playground ran like a prison yard out of The Great Escape, complete with a king and a warden.
It premiered on ABC 29 years ago this week and became the network's biggest Saturday morning hit of the late 90s. The 2001 movie pulled $44.5M.
Two of the defining cartoons of the 90s, and the wall between them is an argument about a cartoon toddler.
My Lord.
@JoeBiden, 83 years old, battling Stage 4 cancer that has spread to his bones, stood for HOURS alongside @DrBiden as the names of 9/11 victims were read.
Donald Trump fell asleep at the 9/11 event at the Pentagon.
One showed respect despite his pain. The other couldn't even stay awake.
Trump is an embarrassment to the nation and the office he holds.
Really says it all.
Tyler James Williams, Vincent Martella, and Tequan Richmond were all born in October 1992.

Skilla Baby, Charlamagne and the entire Breakfast Club crew shared a WHOLESOME moment by stopping the interview to PRAY together after Skilla’s prayer timer went off 🙏❤️
she said she doesn’t want to tell her father about himself because she thinks he already knows and hears it a lot already. what kind of emotional intelligence? NINE years old mind you. god bless her.
She once collapsed on stage due to the pain and had to have a partial hysterectomy in her early 30s because of the condition. Marilyn Monroe also had severe endometriosis and it was one of the things that contributed to making her life hell. Cyndi Lauper, Whoopi Goldberg too. It’s not new. I hope we find a cure in my lifetime.
