''Nicktoons'' (previously known as Nicktoons Network and Nicktoons TV) is also a sister network of Nickelodeon launched in 2002. It is Nickelodeon's 95% animation channel. It was mainly meant to compete with [[Cartoon Network]] and [[Toon Disney]] and started as a vault channel for Nickelodeon's huge animation library. In addition to running the animation that was first-run on Nick at the time, it also served as a vault for the animated shows that they didn't air anymore, like ''[[The Ren and Stimpy Show (Animation)|The Ren and Stimpy Show]]'', ''[[Rocko's Modern Life (Animation)|Rocko's Modern Life]]'', ''[[Doug]]'', and ''[[Aaahh Real Monsters (Animation)|Aaahh Real Monsters]]''.

In 2006, it aired their first original show: ''[[Kappa Mikey]]''. This followed with other independently-funded acquisitions it made in the later part of the 2000 decade, such as ''[[Skyland]]'', ''[[Shuriken School]]'', ''[[Edgar and Ellen]]'', ''[[Ricky Sprocket]]'', ''[[Three Delivery (Animation)|Three Delivery]]'', ''[[The Secret Show]]'', ''[[Wayside School (Animation)|Wayside School]]'', and ''[[Making Fiends]]'',... 90% of them created in [[Adobe Flash|Flash]].

At around 2009, [[Network Decay|less and less original Nicktoons were shown]] in favor of more action-oriented animated programs, presumably to compete with boy-focused [[Disney XD]] and [[Cartoon Network]]. Two live-action programs, ''[[The Troop]]'' (with a few animated special effects) and ''[[Big Time Rush (TV)|Big Time Rush]]'' (totally live-action) also aired on Nicktoons. '''All''' of the aforementioned original toons were either playing in the graveyard slots or scrapped, and they were investing in strictly superhero adaptations of [[Marvel Universe]] characters; with [[Disney]] having bought out [[Marvel Comics]], that might change soon...

In 2010 ''[[Dragon Ball Kai]]'' (Nicktoons' first [[Anime]] and Nickelodeon's return to showing anime) aired along with ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003 (Animation)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003]]'', the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' franchise's first showing on a Nickelodeon network since Nickelodeon acquired the license. Saban also to reran ''[[Power Rangers]]'' episodes on the network following its reclaiming of the series from Disney.
