List Of Rugrats Episodes

The following is a list of episodes from the American animated series Rugrats. The show first aired on August 11, 1991. The first three seasons aired from 1991 to 1994. The series returned with two Jewish holiday specials in April 1995 and December 1996. From 1997 to 2004, the series resumed airing regular episodes. Nickelodeon aired the 10th Anniversary special All Growed Up on August 11, 2001, recognizing the day the series officially began as one of the three original Nicktoons.

Rugrats was originally scheduled to air only 65 episodes as Nickelodeon felt that they had enough reruns for a few years, ending production in 1994. However, as Rugrats was on reruns in the summer of 1995, the series quickly became a ratings success and became the highest-rated children's show on television and become Nickelodeon's #1 show in the process. Popular with an adult audience as well, ratings for Rugrats reruns in the summer of 1995 surpassed reruns of even Seinfeld and Frasier to become the most watched show among adult males aged 18–31. As a result, two holiday specials were made airing in 1995 and 1996 respectively, and production of Rugrats resumed in '96 with new episodes airing by 1997. By 2000, the show was being accused of having jumped the shark, and with SpongeBob SquarePants eventually taking over as the dominant Nicktoon, Rugrats ended production in the fall of 2003, and the series ended in the summer of 2004. In 2012, co-creator Arlene Klasky stated that, if Nickelodeon asked Klasky Csupo to, she'd be more than happy to produce new episodes of Rugrats and bring it back for a tenth season.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or episodes:

    Thirty—the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmastered importunity.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
