I loved spongbob and rugrats and fairly odd parents
I grow up with spongebob and blue clues
I think War happens cuz some countries don't trust each other enough.
Maybe if they did, there would be more peace.
Blues Clues
You know it's sad when kid shows did better jobs tackling serious issues than regular shows do.
@@alessandroortiz379 No not Regular Show, I'm talking about more mature show.
How is it sad?
@@iamcat1797 It's seem when kids show does serious issues they actually do research before writing the script, most mature show tend to use it as a joke especially Family Guy.
if i had to guess... Adult shows always feel the need to be all "dark, grim, edgy" to justify their demographic. any sensitive subjects that get approached are made a mockery of or approached from all the invasive, darkest angles, because society has conditioned writers into thinking mature topics automatically have to check all the boxes of what "adult" media is "supposed" to be.
Kid shows actually have the advantage, in a way. children view the world through softer eyes. they're open to more morose subjects, but it can't be forced. it needs to connect with them. and that's why kids shows seem to handle subjects better.
Adult media feels the need to be extreme and in your face, while kids media will approach the subject on a softer, subtle, personal level.
@@alessandroortiz379 regular show is more for teens and young adults then for kids
The entirety of _Avatar: The Last Airbender_ to place during a world war. It depicted the aftermath of genocide in it's *third* ever episode. And everything else that came with war and tyrannical rulership eventually followed. It's hard to believe that I didn't pick up on any of it as a kid. And now, I'm amazed, but glad the show existed at all.
I definitely agree. Plus it’s my favorite TV show.
Exactly why Avatar is the best Nick show ever
Hence why, it will always be my favourite nickelodeon show ever
It's crazy when think back to how you were a kid and you didn't really know the context around what was going on. Like how many 8 year-olds understand the meaning behind concepts like genocide and dictatorships? And now that we're all grown up and we've learned about real life history, we realize just how bad everything was, and we can better immerse ourselves in the story.
Like seeing your mentor/father figure's skeleton surrounded by the bones of at least a dozen invaders? Fighting a dictator who wants to burn down an entire continent? It's like if a group of teenagers were fighting WW2 and planning to take down the Japanese Emperor.
Also, now that we know more about ecology, Ozai trying to burn down an entire continent probably would've led to a massive ecological disaster and possibly the extinction of the human race on this world. The ash kicked up would've probably blocked out the sun, destroying crop production and probably lowering global temperatures, leading to famines and resource wars among the survivors.
There’s no way a kids show would get away with that today
It was bittersweet that Timmy fell into the same trap his parents did in allowing an abusive babysitter to look after his kids
Good thing for Cosmo and Wanda
It was brilliant for them to have Timmy’s kids share traits of both Trixie and Tootie to keep who ends up with Timmy a mystery
It wasn’t a mystery…you could see things or hear them that confirmed it was Tootie, and the daughter with the glasses and everything looks like her, just with Timmy’s hair color. Then the boy is him but with her hair color.
But ya there were tell tale signs or even adult Timmy saying her name I feel, to confirm tootie. The creator also commented on it somewhere that it was meant to be her.
In every case, Timmy eventually realizes she loves him a lot and that he should be with her..
They should’ve ended the series there
@@jcj268 Agreed...
Yeah. How sad.
All adults in The Fairly Odd Parents are idiots. Some more than others.
Oh man, that episode always gets me right in the gut. When Chuckie says his mom's in the flowers... 😥
After seeing Steve leave Blues clues I cried but it’s understandable why he left but his legacy will live on forever
Kora's PTSD hit home harder than I expected, especially because I know someone who suffers from PTSD and their constant struggles. War, torture, assault, there's a lot of things that lead to problems, and it takes years if ever to be free from the trauma.
Shows like Hey Arnold and Rugrats dealt with more serious issues, while working around still being shows aimed at kids
I absolutely loved As Told By Ginger. I wish they would release the entire series.
That show was boring to me.
Same. I love for this show so wise
It's all on Paramount+!
On paramount or prime. It was such a great show.
I always tear up whenever the episode showing Chuckie’s mum airs. It’s so heartbreaking yet I’m thankful for airing it.
Hey Arnold, Rugrats, and As Told by Ginger were my childhood. I always felt comfort in them because they dealt with feelings I encountered or to help me prepare for the future. They were "kids" shows but exactly what I needed. I wish they made more shows like that.
Steve leaving was the saddest episode. I'm so glad he was back though much later during cameos in blue's clues.
These particular episodes are some of the things that made these shows so great, Tackling serious issues are when shows start to get real.
Channel Chasers was supposed to be the series finale but Butch Hartman had other ideas.
I miss the old days where kids shows were not afraid to talk about serious issues. Nowadays, everybody is afraid of being “woke.” This is really stupid! As a kid, Blue’s Clues was king in my childhood and I remember when Steve left, it broke my heart. But it taught me a valuable lesson that going to school is very important as well as having to learning to handle change. That show taught me and many kids the skills needed for adulthood.
I didn’t see that episode when I watched blue‘s clues sadly. Even as a 2008 kid I was a huge fan of that show
I LOVE Loud House. They incorporate same sex couples in a more natural way than many live action shows do. The love letter episode is maybe my favorite episode
Same! I love how inclusive the show is. Not only with LGBTQIA+ issues, but there is a kid in a wheelchair who everyone just accepts.
I still Think Ren and Stimpy were the first gay couple
Right? I love that show too, and that’s one of the reasons I love it!
Whoa that #2 pick with Magic Johnson and the kids is a major tear-jerker 😢
Seriously.. crying now.
Same. Like I’ve seen most of the things on this list and it’s pretty sad, but nothing gut punching? But that little girl…damn it hit me really hard.
I grew up with SpongeBob and trust me they are no short from serious issues.
The older episodes at least
@@aadenandfriends5869 new seasons are alright and good here and there. Just not Steven hillenburgh good
You know Avatar is going to be this list
Obviously.
Bold for Sam's mom to admit that her partying days were over and that she needed to be a responsible parent for him. Something that many mothers today unfortunately don't want to admit, and they can't see the damage that their choices inflict on their own children as a result of that.
As a grown woman who’s mother did this, it’s very hard to see. But, it’s bittersweet in my eyes.
She might not have been there for the childhood, but for the adulthood? Every step of the way.
SpongeBob SquarePants and Avatar were and still are the best, in my opinion
SpongeBob was really good, but after the first movie, it began declining in quality
I definitely agree. Plus I love Avatar the last airbender more than SpongeBob.
SpongeBob at one point fell from grace.
I grew up on SpongeBob, fairly odd parents, jimmy neutron, breadwinners, and back at the barnyard
Spongebob: predicts a pandemic in 2014
The Simpsons: *THAT'S MY JOB!*
As someone who grew up with the loud house, I absolutely love Luna and Sam. They are such a cute couple
Ok, but I'm not sure, that LGBTQ+ can appear in PG cartoons.
The show is not even 10 years old yet if you were a kid when it premiered you are still a kid now I doubt you are 25 yet
Absolutely love your number 1 pick. It's also the perfect way to put it: just... war. War is what the avatar storylines deal with, and deal with masterfully.
It is annoying that Fungus Amongus is still banned from airing due to Covid, despite other previous banned episodes still airing today, especially Kwarantined Krab which was just as responsible for those terminations.
War isn’t just the main focus on Avatar: The Last AirBender but also child abuse. War is heavy on Aang’s shoulders but for Zuko, he’s been burned and banished by his own father
I grew up watching rug rats in the 90s. My mother had sickle cell anemia and was in the hospital a lot. I learned how to process death partially from Chuckie’s mom death. I never knew when my mom would die. She died when I was 19. I’m glad they did the episode.
It is nice that Steve is still a part of Blues Clues.
These shows did it so well that it makes us understand about the real world. At least not in a bad way.😌👍🏼
I love how you included Korra's PTSD. I am not a fan of the series in general, but I must admit that the way they pictured PTSD was really well executed. I have to say thouhh, i disagree with the statement that she waa only dealing with it in the forst episode of season 4; I'd say it's more like the first several episodes of season 4 at least.
I grew up watching SpongeBob Squarepant, fairy odd parents, Jimmy Neutron, True Jackson VP, full house and so many more ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.
I feel really sad hearing those stories about the issues of the shows Nickelodeon puts on especially with the quarantine one with SpongeBob having that green lic on him I watch that episode a lot and I know the feeling being trapped in quarantine when this Covid hit in 2020 that was a really rough year for everyone including me Losing a parent is pretty sad too especially when you’re close to them I’ve had friends and my ex boyfriends who lost their mothers that died which is sad my boyfriend that I’m currently dating, lost his brother and died and the disability issue too. I have one and I know the feeling Nickelodeon understands how people that watch their shows go through these issues, and, they know what it’s like to go through all that. It’s pretty sad.😢

This channel was my childhood, thanks Ms Mojo and a happy friday to you as well. Take care and see you soon for more, God bless you and greetings from Colombia.
Congratulations 💐 for 5M Subscribers.
still cried when Steve left. but happy that he came back&joined the other 2 hosts for the movie!
niece&nephew are into the new Blues Clues, but i got them hooked on the original
If only Nickelodeon would create an episode of children coping with the idea of parents being locked away in jail and how hard jail time can be when keeping the parent and the child apart. I mean Sesame Street tackled with that serious issue when two characters had their parents locked away in jail.
Top 20 times Disney Channel Shows tackled serious issues
Not going to even lie, seeing and hearing Steve again after all of these years has me sobbing so hard I needed to pause the video.
I really had no idea how much of an effect this show had on me until now, and I will forever love Steve. Thank you so much Steve, for giving me a good childhood the best you ever could💙
Damn I cried so much After Steve Burns Left I vividly remember tht episode at Prek but Donovan Patton was pretty awesome too plus he is also a cutey
The Legend of Korra and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 is the childhood show I grew up with
I had the great joy of producing Rugrats for the first 3 seasons. I 'd left the industry after 5 years at Marvel's animation studio producing crap. It was so wonderful to come back to animation to a show that celebrated humanity. The writing staff (Germaine, Gaffney et al. - read the credits!) was outstanding. BTW, I got the most letters for the potty-training episode where so many parents were SO grateful to watch it with their kids during that difficult time of parenthood.
A hop scotch scholarship 😂
I love how you framed the Sponge Bob episode as a foreshadowing as if the covid pandemic is the first pandemic in history
Avatar is very deep. I love it with all my heart ❤
Loss of a parent. My cousins, Fancy, Malinda and EJ just lost their father. Also my uncle, it’s been hard. I can’t help myself, I could use comfort
I’m sorry for your loss.
@@westerfrost3701 Thanks
The Legend of Korra has terrorism as one of its main themes.
Top 10 Superheroes Made by Nickelodeon!

Superheroes in Rugrats
Monkey man hey Arnold
@@jasminejohnston6393 Don't forget Barnacle Boy and Mermaid Man
I love these Nickelodeon moments!
3:36 ....the early 2000's kid in me is crying again 😢
Who’s a better Blue’s Clues host, Steve, Joe, Kevin or Josh?
Steve! Easily!
Steve
This is always take back the memories.
I grew up watching all I these Nickelodeon shows and love all for what there showing and learning u here
I hate helga’s parents. Especially the dad. Helga needs a hug 😢
Lose Control ⚡
"The Thundermans" (2013-2018)
I loved The Fairly Oddparents as a kid
The Loud House Movie on Netflix: serious issue (bored deeply into or not as if it was by a drill): the desire to be special and feeling overshadowed.
Rugrats handling of Chuckie and his mom still gets me, I remember crying my eyes out at the movie theater when Rugrats in Paris came out and they have the mother and child dance at the beginning of the movie and Chuckie’s all by himself with no one to dance with him. Dang kids shows used to be so amazing.
The Loud House had some positive values including keeping the earth clean, saving money, standing up to bullies (with the exception of Ronnie Anne) and going on vacation
There’s also Down syndrome awareness in The Loud House.
I wish autism was represented in the loud house
@@KittyMcFlame at least it’s being represented in Sesame Street and The Ghost and Molly McGee.
@@masonplacher7096 maybe, but I dint watch Sesame Street or the ghost and Molly McGee, I just wish it was also in my favorite Lego show Ninjago
I was a fan of Clarissa as a kid
The Blues Clues one made me cry when I was 4 and it still makes me cry now.
I'm working on going to college this fall, and I think I'm sharing the same anxiety Steve must have when he was starting to go.
It's a shame I didn't watch Rocket Power (I was 13-18 years old when it aired). Even though I was no athlete even before I was in a wheelchair, it would've been nice to see that episode. I wasn't even aware of adapted sports until college.
I have a suggestion. How about for the top 10 moments in "The Owl House" per season. there are so many memorable, funny, gut-punching, action-packed, I could go on. And with the series having ended almost two weeks ago, I would love to see what you guys comprise of form the gem of a series.
Lydia here, I just want to say: since “Are You Afraid of the Dark” tackled young death and letting go of things or people, I wonder if other dark kid shows tackled serious issues like that show did. I think a “Goosebumps” episode tackled the same issue and maybe some other serious issues too.
i just finished avatar the last airbender so i can appreciate this as number 1. one other topic u see in season 3 is children of war. the children of the fire nation dont understand where these thing are coming from and how it happens
#7 still brings tears to my eyes
This is a great video to do.
I want to be a kid again so I can watch these shows.
1, 4, & 5
Still by far my favorite shows ever produced by Nickelodeon. 👍👍👍
What show I grew up with were hey Arnold, Rocket power, Rugrats, Wild Thornberry and my favorite show as a kid Blue Clue
I used to watch Blue’s Clues as a kid but I didn’t see this episode
I started watching The Loud House this year. I find it sweet, I find nothing wrong it. Clyde has two great dads
If you enjoy that show, I highly recommend Harvey Beaks. It was created by the same person who created Chowder and also deals with serious issues such as racism and death.
Awesome
Thank For The Video 🙊🤯💞💝🥰💕🤩👌

11:08 Which episode was this? I do not remember it all.
I can't remember any of the nickelodeon sitcots expect clarissa explains it all (I was so little when I watched t though) but I remember every single cartoon on the list though
Watching Steve leave still makes me feel like crying to this day
8:32
is a great life lesson, Love anyone no matter what. So great to see Nickoldon nicktoons show real regular LGBT couples
Gravity falls amphibia and the owl house and shera and princess of power : are we a joke to you?
Another one is josh is done
26:34 that guy sounds like Burble from Danger Rangers
These characters sure are handling issues they're going through over the years. I'm Impressed they're handling it well. Just have to work on some problems and issues.
I knew the time Steve left blues clues and channel chases are both on this list, those episodes around that time made me adult.
I knew from the time I was a toddler that I was adopted! My parents were upfront with it from the start so it wouldn't be this huge surprise one day after they were no longer with me because I found the long hidden adoption decree in the bank's safe deposit box! In fact my Mom said I would go around as a toddler saying, "I'm abopted!" not really understanding the meaning until I was much older! My Grandma would always introduce me in this way, "This is our granddaughter Kristi! She's our special little adopted one!"
I honestly think the Rugrats topic of loss of a parent should be number 1. I really felt for Chuckie since he never knew his mom and he must have been really hurting inside. But what if it could be this way? Idk if they talked about it in "All Grown Up" but lets say Chuckie was helping someone who was going through the loss of a parent or someone close to them. They'll tell him "You were just a baby when your mom died Chuckie". Chuckie should reply "Yeah but my dad wasn't. He kept his grief bottled up for years. He froze in time. He almost froze me in time too. Then finally he let it all out. Started talking about my mom. Moved on. And now I think I can finally say that he's ok". Grief hurts but it has to. It's like when you fall off your bike and hurt yourself breaking a bone wondering if you'll never be able to do something you love again, but you're taken to the hospital so your bone can heal in a cast and now its something you can talk about. Grief is the same. You have to deal with it so it can pass and then you're stronger. And I think Chuckie is even stronger now.
The whole Johnny and donna situation totally reflects the twist in The Sixth Sense
Oh wow!
I can relate to having divorced parents. I live with my mom and I would spend weekends with my dad. I love my parents
good video
I was sad when steve left on blues clues...and i really *really* miss mr rogers...mr rogers was someone i looked forward to seeing everyday...i still miss him...
I wish nickelodeon would tackle another serious issue that includes about autism
Kid Danger: *wearing his big trucker pup outfit and pins his ears down* the nick jr show that holds a special place in my heart is blue's clues "Steve leaves for college"
There's a reason why the final season of LOK was called Balance.
Korra finds balance in herself and in the world. Balance between tradition and progression. Between spirituality and science. Between bending and technology. Her relationship with Asami symbolizes and represents all that. That's what show was all about, and I loved it for that.
You forgot to add Jimmy Neutron not handling insults from Cindy that grew him into a monster that lesson is that even though you are hiding your feelings on your crush doesn’t excuse you to bully them further.
Or When Carly was about to feel super uncomfortable with a guy she just met in Pear Store that Spencer went bro mode on him.
Or When Josh had enough with Drake screwing with him and things went down hill with Drake can’t live his life without Josh.
Not sure if its a serious issue but Danny was slacking a bit at his school work that his teacher tells him if he doesn’t pass, he will get held back.
Or When this crazy girl keep on talking Tori and she tries to tell everyone about Ponnie but disappear just when she was about to introduce her. Gaslighting poor Tori.
Also, since CatDog are conjoined, why didn't that chocolate roid drink affect Cat too??
