And I think this is an unfair question to ask because its pretty much going to be one big circle jerk of saying "Avatar: The Last Airbender"
But the old Nicktoons were not complete sloutches. And personally Hey Arnold is my absolute favorite Nicktoons of all time. The characters are all 3 dimensional people. You know their backstories, you see their famalies. And Arnold is probably the most good guy person I have ever seen.
So many funny episodes and so many heartbreaking episodes. (Mr. Hyunh's backstory)
I was going to say this, I love Hey Arnold. I just bought the box set, in fact. There were so many secret details.
Helga and her neglectful parents. Her moms alcoholism and unhappy marriage. The implication, I think, that she got pregnant before marriage and gave up her future. The fact that their teacher and Eugene are closeted homosexuals. Birdman. That show had more depth then most adult shows, and a lot more subtlety. And, most importantly, it was
funny.
