People born in the 90's have an overwhelming, almost obnoxious amount of, nostalgia for their childhood. Like many kids from the 90's and early 2000's, I watched way too much TV. A worrisome amount, even. Here, I present you a ranking of the 11 Nicktoons that premiered in the 90's.

11. "The Ren & Stimpy Show."

I'm pretty sure I wasn't allowed to watch "Ren & Stimpy." That says a lot because my mom let me watch Stephen King movies with her. Going past my parents' questionable parenting decisions, this show is better to watch in your 20's. Disgusting and always vile, it's sometimes hard to watch.

10. "CatDog."

ANOTHER kid's show I wasn't allowed to watch! Jack Nicholson trying to kill his family? That's fine. A cat and dog hybrid? Unthinkable! I didn't write this article to vent my frustrations, so I'll move forward. Let's just get it out of the way that the show was weird as hell. Who thinks of this stuff? The two main characters were also just annoying; Cat was too mean and Dog was too obnoxious. Kind of like a worse version of SpongeBob and Squidward. Still entertaining though.

9. "Aaahh!!!! Real Monsters"

The show revolved around three monsters that went to school under a city dump and surface to scare kids. It's like if "Monsters Inc." used more potty humor. Sure the animation was grotesque, but it's a kids show.

8. "Rocket Power."

I was a pretty inactive kid, so having this show give me the illusion I wasn't a lazy slob was nice. The characters were annoying, but they were cool. They skated, surfed, rollerbladed and lived in Hawaii; what more could you ask? I could barely ride a bike as a kid so I was constantly impressed.

7. "Doug."

"Doug" was for sure the most realistic cartoon on this list. It was tame, but good. Doug wasn't surfing in Hawaii, building dams, or a conjoined twin, but the kid had a heart. Doug knew the struggles of growing up, unrequited love and building yourself in a new town. Probably one of Nick's very few heartwarming shows.

6. "Rocko's Modern Life."

No one remembers this show and it's sad because this show doesn't deserve that. "Rocko's Modern Life" was incredibly raunchy for a kid's show, which makes it better to revisit in your 20's. I mean, Rocko was a phone sex operator in one episode. They don't make cartoons like they used to.

5. "The Angry Beavers"

This show was so underrated. I'm pretty sure I delayed an Easter dinner to watch this when I was four. Maybe it's because I'm now 20, but Daggett and Norbert Beaver trying to make it on their own after they get kicked out to embrace adulthood is somewhat resonating. Also, they had the greatest bachelor pad of all time, even for being a pair of beavers.

4. "Rugrats."

What wasn't great about this show? Tommy, the alpha of his group despite being younger than all of them, was my first representation of leader. Only a little sad on my part. Not to mention everything I learned about diversity. They had Chanukah, Passover and Kwanzaa specials. What's Passover? I didn't know; I went to Catholic school all my life. But "Rugrats" taught me something. Maybe religious lessons are not best taught through Nickelodeon cartoons, but I'll take what I can.

3. "The Wild Thornberries."

A nerdy girl who can talk to animals? An angsty teenage girl? A chimp with a British accent? What DIDN'T this show have? It's as if Steve Irwin dragged his family all over the world and had a daughter with super abilities. On a semi-related note, Eliza probably looking like a freak trying to communicate with animals in their languages.

2. "SpongeBob SquarePants."

What is it about this show that just brings people together? You can recite any offbeat, random quote and someone will know what you're talking about. It's like if everyone in their 20's is unwillingly in a cult. I don't think I can trust you as a person if you never liked "SpongeBob." Sure everything plummeted after the movie, but it was great while it lasted. Plus, no other cartoon can get David Hasselhoff to use his pecs to launch a sponge and starfish back home.

1. "Hey Arnold!"

"Hey Arnold!" was REAL. Arnold was orphaned, Helga had an alcoholic mother, Chocolate Boy had addiction, Mr. Hyunh gave up his daughter and Pigeon Man flew into the sunset with his pigeons. It seemed like everyone had their own baggage and taught the viewers not to judge a book by its cover. Kind of like "Orange is the New Black" with fewer convict lesbians. Bold claim, but Gerald was probably the greatest cartoon character of the 90's. Plus, the theme song was incredibly catchy and made me respect jazz.

Don't mind me; I'll just be impatiently waiting for the "Hey Arnold!" movie coming up.
