Rugrats_S1Rugrats_S2 Rugrats Seasons 1 and 2 – In one of the most successful and highly lauded Nickelodeon series of all time, Tommy Pickles (E.G. Daily) and his pint-sized pals discover magic, danger and great comic adventure in a world adults often take for granted. Tommy is joined by the twins, Phil and Lil Deville; his best friend, Chuckie; and his 3-year-old cousin and resident bully of the family, Angelica. Together, the “Rugrats” venture into the unknown led by their boundless curiosity and innocent love of mischief. In this longest-running (14 years) Nicktoon to date, the animation emphasizes perspectives, often exaggerating sizes and shapes to reflect a child’s point of view.

OddParents_S1 The Fairly OddParents Seasons 1 and 2 – Skyrocketing ratings for Nickelodeon since its 2001 launch, the Emmy Award-winning series created by Butch Hartman centers on 10-year-old Timmy Turner. Once a powerless kid at the mercy of every adult in his life, Timmy figures he finally has the upper hand when two fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, suddenly appear on the scene. His newfound fairy godparents practice their craft on him and delight in playfully punishing his babysitting nemesis, 16-year-old Vicky, who turns mean as a snake the second Timmy’s parents leave. Throughout his magical misadventures, while exploring the big issues of being a kid – growing up, gaining independence, fitting in, being respected, and finding the courage to do what’s right – Timmy’s eyes are opened to an important axiom: Be careful what you wish for! Timmy is voiced by Tara Strong, whose highly-regarded work includes roles in Family Guy, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, and more.

H20 Season 1 – This live-action magical mermaid adventure and winner of the 2007 Nickelodeon UK Kids’ Choice Award for “Best TV Show” is shot on location in the Gold Coast Region of Queensland, Australia. H2O centers on Emma (Claire Holt), Rikki (Cariba Heine) and Cleo (Phoebe Tonkin), three 16-year-old girls who stumble upon an ancient cavern under a volcano and undergo a transformation that changes their lives forever. The heroines are ordinary teens on land, but extraordinary teen mermaids with magical powers under the sea. With the ability to freeze, boil and manipulate water anytime they wish, these mermaids discover that the world is truly their oyster. Jonathan M. Shiff (Producer of Cybergirl and Pirate Islands) is Creator and Executive Producer of the series.

South of Nowhere Season 3 – The N network’s original drama series for teens from veteran Creator and Executive Producer Tom Lynch of The Secret World of Alex Mack, is a fictional story about a contemporary American family and their journey of self-discovery. Set in Los Angeles, South of Nowhere – one of the highest-rated original series on the network – chronicles the five members of the Carlin family as they try to define themselves and make sense of their lives while they undergo a huge transition, moving from small town Ohio to the big city of L.A. The Carlins find they are unprepared for the fast-paced, metropolitan environment and the overcrowded, “anything goes” L.A. public school that the family’s three teenagers attend. The family is at the heart of the series and, while their characters are unique, they reflect many American families today – bound by their evolving identity and close ties.

Zoey_S4 Zoey 101 Seasons 3 and 4 – All That alumna Jamie Lynn Spears stars as 13-year-old Zoey Brooks, a winsome leader whose independent nature is put to the test at the newly co-ed Pacific Coast Academy in this live-action comedy series. Shot on location in Malibu, California, the program comes courtesy of Creator/Executive Producer Dan Schneider’s (All That, Drake & Josh) Schneider’s Bakery. Zoey 101 debuted in January 2005 as the network’s highest-rated premiere among tweens in nearly eight years.
