    Rugrats. It went downhill during and after The Rugrats Movie, and the All Grown Up spinoff was just pathetic.
    It is better to be hated for standing by your beliefs than it is to be loved for biting your tongue.

      Well, I admit it was amazing seeing the Rugrats as teenagers and preteens, but I thought All Grown Up was kind of like a carbon copy of Saved By The Bell, or like a watered down version of Beverly Hills 90210.

        *Thinks really REALLY hard*
        Man, this is a TOUGH one :rolleyes:
        Rugrats OR All Grown UP?

        Rugrats hands down. It was the first Nicktoon I watched when I was little, the babies are so luvable, and it lets us see what the kids do when the adults arent around.

        Go RUGRATS!!!! :D

          Defiently Rugrats. All Grown Up was great since we got to see them as teens, but you can never beat the originals. :) And I liked this show more than The Wild Thornberrys and Rocket Power, which I had no interest in whatsoever. It was cute when Klasky Csupo did babies, but when they did those other shows the characters just looked weird. :rolleyes: The only other one I liked was Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.

                Do you really have to ask? Rugrats of course.

                All Grown up, while a neat idea, should've been a made for TV movie at the most, not a whole new spinoff.

                      All Grown up was just terrible. I never liked that show at all. Rugrats all the way.

                        All Grown Up was awful and also I think if they wanted to Lauren Bouchard and Brendon Small the creators of Home Movies might have a case for a lawsuit over the fact it steals concepts from Home Movies.

                        I liked Rugrats a bit when it was first on but it got repeditive so I got tired of it and stoped watching it. I never saw the movie but someone told me in the opening song Iggy Pop does a brief voiceover cameo.

                        For me the show that's way better than both those shows is the earlier Klasky-Chupo creation, their collaboration with Frank Zappa and his family, Duckman featuring Jason Alexander as Duckman and regular guest voice over appearances from Ben Stien, Gilbert Gottfried and Tim Curry.

                          Rugrats of course but I still liked All Grown Up with new twists and problems.

                            Come on. At a place like this, EVERYONE'S gonna pick the original Rugrats!

                            All Grown Up was a cool 1-hour special deal, but making a show about it wasn't needed...

                                      Rugrats of coarse! I only saw 1 episode of All Grown up; the first one.

                                        You should've added another category to allow one to vote that neither was better over the other. Both would rank about the same for me. For Rugrats, the earlier episodes were better, especially where Chuckie's character was concerned. In the beginning, it was pretty much implied that he was older than Tommy, Phil, and Lil (who were all one). He was two. He even had a full mouth of teeth; typical for two and three year olds. As the show went on, though, it seems that Chuckie was forced to be with the "babies" of the group as opposed to the toddlers (Angelica and Suzie). This was just a pet peeve of mine. I also hated the way they seemed to over emphasize Chuckie's being scared of everything and always relying on Tommy. This was my main gripe with Rugrats. Oh, I also hated the fact that after a while, Deedee didn't even seem to have a job anymore.

                                        As for All Grown Up, I liked it for what it was, but, didn't care for the earlier episodes much at all, and preferred the later ones. I liked the fact that Tommy was taken down a few notches compared to original Rugrats. I like how the twins grew personalities to show that they aren't exactly the same. Lil is a bit tomboyish, not "disgusting", like her counterpart, and how she's "mature" compared to Phil, who's still playful, dirty, etc., and in a way, innocent (okay, I'm pushing this one lol)

                                        I liked Kimi and Dil way more for AGU than I ever did for Rugrats. I loved Dil's "out there" theories and unique personality. I like Kimi's outspoken personality and wish I could see that episode where she speaks out against Angelica to the school, even though Chuckie is siding with Angelica.

                                        I like the fact that Chuckie wasn't scared of everything like the later Rugrats eps seemed to do constantly (which I found annoying) and had him let go of his security blanket (Tommy). I also liked the fact that, for the later episodes, Chuckie didn't seem to be in the same classes as Tommy and the others and for the standardized test that the others were studying for, Chuckie mentioned how tough it was when he took it the previous year which indicates that he's a year older than Tommy, Phil, Lil, and Kimi, but, a year under Suzie, Angelica, and Harold. I also liked the Angelica and Chuckie interactions that original Rugrats didn't seem to have like AGU did.

                                        The main thing I did dislike about AGU, was Suzie's character. I really hated the fact that they were somewhat stereotyping her. She's black, therefore, she can "sing", so let's try to have nearly every episode dealing with her, reference her singing in some way or form. That got old really quick, and if it's not singing, it's something school related, which isn't too bad a thing.
