Why The 90s Were Nickelodeon’s Golden Age

So what made Nickelodeon so great in the 90s?

Another huge success for Nick were its Nicktoons.

For example would there have been aSouth ParkorFamily GuywithoutThe Ren & Stimpy Show?

Real MonstersandHey Arnold!all of which had the orange blood of Nick running through them.

What really marked the 90s as the golden age for Nickelodeon for me though were its comedies and drama.

Then there wasClarissa Explains It Allwhich had the honor of being the first Nick show with a female lead.

It also was a very funny, non-dramatic look at adolescent life.

She was doing the same things as you and your friends and was thus relateable.

The show also broke the rules of the normal sitcom.

which made it all the more special.

It probably also helped feed a generation of horror genre fans to come.

and a perfectly cast Steve Buscemi and Iggy Pop as Ellen and Norahs fathers respectively.
