It really is a shame about what happened to Nick but you forgot two shows
Ren & Stimpy and KaBlam!
On a side note, with Invader Zim Nick started to redeem it self but they continue to make sure they destroy any really good show before it grows to large and people notice that Nick can be something besides utterly Un-Rad.

I really liked Nick back in the day....besides stuff like Salute Your Shorts(my favorite freakin' show back then) that has already been mentioned, I enjoyed Welcome Freshmen and Mighty Max, Batman the animated series, The Tomorrow People, Guts, My So Called Life...I'm sure I could come up with more but these are ones that I could think of on the fly.

Oh man, Reboot was awesome, and so were Beetle Borgs. I saw an episode of one of the new power rangers (A reunion of all the red rangers) and they reused some of the old beetleborg costumes.
Forever red: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg48G19A76I
as far as nick goes, now every show they have is just an attempt to be Lizzie Mcguire, or whatever stupid crap Disney puts out now, or some REALLY lame cartoon. (With the exception of Avatar, which I'm with holding judgement on til' I see it).
And who can Forget the original All That

Totally forgot about Herman’s Head! That show mostly rocked, but I didn't really like the chick that does Lisa Simpson's voice. She did fit in her part of the head, but I don't like her voice that much.

Ditto on Star Trek TNG, till in the later years it started to get all preachy (Oh, jeez now I sound like Peter from Family Guy...ohh ohh, anyone get the reference, hmmmm?)

In Australia here, we used to get Thursday nights with The Simpsons, Married with Children, Cops and The X-Files. My Dad, my brother and I used to be glued to the TV while my Mum worked for late night shopping.
The X-Files is my undoubted number 1. It upped the ante and set the standard for what we expect from television. It showed us that there doesn't have to be a gulf between the quality of film production and television.

So many to choose from, but my top 5 would probably have to be:
Seinfeld
Married With Children
Ren and Stimpy
Star Trek: TNG (even though I didn't start watching it until last year)

I thought the first seasons was cat's ass - but the second (and last?) season lost me.
Oh - add Twin Peaks to my list as well.
*Just looked it up and found out that Millennium lasted 3 seasons*

Yeah, but the 3rd season sucked so hard its not really worth mentioning.. maybe 3 or 4 decent eps.
I think the shows biggest problem was inconsistency from season to season.. it's almost 3 different shows.

What I loved the most about Biker Mice were the bikes and the mice. I had a couple of the action figures too. In retrospect they were really goofy.

Roundhouse. Maybe it was just the Nickelodeon show only I liked. But, come on, one skit was Sally Struthers stuffing her fat face in front of starving children! Also, Popular (WB) was seriously underrated. And thanks to whoever first said ReBoot. I had the faintest memory about that show a while back and was beginning to think I would never remember what it was called.

Almost ALL of the old Nicktoons and the Cartoon Cartoons were actually really good. Reboot was another good one. Also the old Spider-Man cartoon.
Straying away from the 'kiddy' shows, I'd say Home Improvement, That 70's Show, Fresh Prince, and the PJ's.
Also, you can't forget The Simpsons and the good 'ol Mighty Morphin Power Rangers....What? I was a kid then. That was the most awesome show back then.
And probably best of all:
Freakazoid! Best 'superhero' cartoon, ever.

at circus circus in Vegas they had reboot the ride.
Needless to say I spent many days ditching school to go lazer tag it up and go nuts in the adventure dome. No lines during the weekdays.
I wonder what a modern reboot would be like.
and what the hell was the simile for the guardians? I get all other references but WTF is a guardian, anti-virus software?
