Before Nickelodeans inception, the pinwheel network, the forerunner to Nick, had only shown cartoons once before, but only one-time animated shorts on a twenty-four hours every day sort of Oh Yeah! Cartoons thing on TV show called Pinwheel.

The show Pinwheel stopped after a few years and Nick got to making only live-action shows. Then, on Sunday, August 11, 1991 at exactly 7:00 in the morning, the very first Nicktoon was aired - Doug. And then, when Doug was over, there was Rugrats. The Ren and Stimpy Show was after that. And, every Sunday, that repeated.
