Rugrats

In the summer of 1991, the cable channel Nickelodeon began airing this animated television series in between the other animations "Doug" and "Ren and Stimpy". The show involved common life experiences that became adventures in the imaginations of the toddlers on the show. With the exception of taking a hiatus 1995 and 1997, the show lasted until 2004 and triggered several movies and endless merchandising. It was just another proof that animation for children can produce big revenue for cable TV.
