Summary

This is Nick's longest running show with a record 14 year span. This is also Nicks most popular show of all time. This, according to Nick producers is the show that put them on top in the 90's. Now let's see how it all started... In 1989, two parents named Gsapo Csupo and Arlene Klasky made the pilot for the show. Their baby son, Brendon, was their inspiration to create the Rugrats. After showing it to Nickelodeon they automatically liked it and turned it into a series. In 3 years Rugrats had aired more than 50 episodes. With a total of 65 episodes they stopped making new episodes and Rugrats was shown in primetime in 1994. That was a good move, because after that the popularity of the show increased. Nickelodeon realized what a good show they had and they decided to air brand new episodes of Rugrats in 1997.
