animated television series created by Arlene Klasky

. After the success of All Growed Up
, the Rugrats
10th anniversary special, Nickelodeon
commissioned All Grown Up! as a spin-off series based on the episode.
The series ran from April 12, 2003 to August 17, 2008, and currently airs in reruns on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons. The show aired in reruns on The N on August 18, 2003 until November 12, 2005, it was dropped from the channel on February 2006, but then returned on April 2007 until June 25, 2009, on July 7, 2009, All Grown Up! was dropped from The N again. The show's premise is that the characters of the Rugrats are nine years older. Tommy, Dil, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Kimi, Angelica and Susie now have to deal with teen and pre-teen issues and situations. It was the first Nicktoon
spin-off. As of May 2010, reruns of the show continue to air on Nickelodeon and Nicktoons in the U.S. on weekends.
The show premiered on April 12, 2003 as a preview before starting its regular run in late November 2003. When the series did start its regular run, more than 3.2 million viewers tuned in, enough to put it into the 2nd place slot for the week (behind an NFL game on ESPN
) and making it the highest-rated premiere in Nickelodeon's history at the time. (The April sneak peek didn't make the top 15 cable programs for that week, due to the ongoing war in Iraq.) It aired on Nick on CBS on March 13, 2004 and ended on September 11, 2004. The original titles for this series were All Growed Up! and Rugrats: All Growed Up!.
