Today, Nicktoons seems to exist as a rerun farm for Nick's lower-tier animated and live action series, along with plenty of ''[=SpongeBob=]'' marathons[[note]] a marathon between 9pm and/or 12pm to 6am airs almost every night[[/note]], just like the main network. It's also used as a backstop to burn off the rights to international series that the main network had no serious plans to give them a chance[[note]]for instance, the short run of ''WesternAnimation/OggyAndTheCockroaches'', solely done because the company's distributor wouldn't license a series only popular in Eurasia without an American run; ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'' suffered the same fate; both shows have since fled to Creator/{{Netflix}}[[/note]]. There also used to be a block of "sports" programming known as [=NickSports=], which aired sports-related cartoons and league {{Infomercial}}s from the NFL and NASCAR for kids. Over the past two decades, several cancelled cartoons originally produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio for broadcast on the main network [[ScrewedByTheNetwork have burned off their remaining episodes]] on Nicktoons.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: ''WesternAnimation/ChristmasInTattertown'' was made for the network and was meant to be the pilot to a show called ''Tattertown'', but the show was scrapped due to Creator/RalphBakshi feeling the short had no potential for a continuation. It's mentioned here because had Bakshi gone through with the original plan, it, not ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', would've been the first Nicktoon. That said, the short was still successful enough to convince the network to keep going.

* ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen''

2010 brought ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'', Nicktoons' first {{anime}} and Nickelodeon's return to showing anime; ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', the ''TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' franchise's first showing on a Nickelodeon network since Nickelodeon acquired the license; and reruns of ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', after Saban reclaimed the franchise from Disney. In September 2011, the last few non-''[=SpongeBob=]'' 90's Nicktoons left on the network [[note]]''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' (not counting the occasional airings of the various holiday specials of the show), ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'', ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' and ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', the latter would start airing on Creator/NickRewind (then called The 90's Are All That) the same day [[/note]] were dropped from the schedule for good, but they would all find new life on [[Creator/NickRewind The 90's Are All That]], Creator/TeenNick's late night nostalgia block.

Nicktoons (previously known as Nicktoons Network and Nicktoons TV) is also a sister network of Nickelodeon launched in 2002 (as part of MTV Networks' expansion into digital cable). It is Nickelodeon's 95% animation channel. It was mainly meant to compete with Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/ToonDisney 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 home for the animated shows that they didn't air anymore, like ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'', ''{{WesternAnimation/Doug}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters''. They also aired various foreign cartoons not seen on Nickelodeon, such as ''[[WesternAnimation/WatchMyChops Corneil and Bernie]]''.

At around 2009, [[NetworkDecay fewer and fewer original Nicktoons were shown]] in favor of more action-oriented animated programs, presumably to compete with boy-focused Creator/DisneyXD and Cartoon Network. Two live-action programs, ''Series/TheTroop'' (with a few animated special effects) and ''Series/BigTimeRush'' (totally live-action) also aired on Nicktoons. '''All''' of the aforementioned [[TheNineties 90's]] toons were either playing in the graveyard slots or scrapped (except for ''Ren and Stimpy'' which aired in primetime and of course, ''[=SpongeBob=]''), and they were investing in strictly superhero adaptations of Franchise/MarvelUniverse characters. Those went away with Creator/{{Disney}}'s purchase of Creator/MarvelComics.
