The contenders are currently tied in head-to-head matchups. Your vote will break the tie.
Hey Arnold! strikes a chord for its more serious tones and real-life problems compared to most cartoons of its time. Arnold's adventures around a diverse urban neighborhood and his complex relationships with characters like Helga, who's both a bully and lovesick, give the show depth and endear it to fans.
Kenan & Kel are all about the chemistry and the slapstick! Fans love reminiscing about the goofy antics, the hilarious situations Kenan comes up with, and, of course, Kel's undying love for orange soda. It’s this humor and sense of friendship that still resonates with fans.
Fans are really split down the middle here! Kenan & Kel brings that nostalgic, laugh-out-loud humor with a dynamic duo vibe, while Hey Arnold! offers a more thoughtful, slice-of-life approach with lovable characters. It's tough to choose because both shows capture the essence of '90s Nickelodeon in their own unique way.
