+ Codename: Kids Next Door, also known as Kids Next Door or by its acronym KND, is an American animated television series created by Tom Warburton and produced by Curious Pictures. The series debuted on Cartoon Network on November 1, 2002 and aired its final episode on January 25, 2008. This show has been considered as one of Cartoon Network's most popular in its history. The series came about as the result of a viewer's poll by Cartoon Network. + The main characters of the series are five 10-year-old children who operate from their high-tech treehouse against the tyranny of adults, senior citizens and teenagers. They make up what is known as Sector V of a worldwide organization called the Kids Next Door. − Rugrats is an American animated television series created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó, and Paul Germain for Nickelodeon. The series premiered on August 11, 1991 and aired its last episode on June 8, 2004. + The show was also part of Cartoon Network's series, Cartoon Cartoons, and is the 16th and final Cartoon of the series. +

Overview
− The show focuses on eight babies, as well as a dog, and their day-to-day lives, usually involving common life experiences that become adventures in the babies' imaginations. It was one of the first three Nicktoons and also aired on Nick Jr. in 1995. + 	+

Production history
−

Characters
+ Mr. Warburton created a pilot episode for another show, Kenny and the Chimp. Originally, there was a group of children who called themselves "The Kids Next Door" among the recurring characters, and would often get Kenny into trouble. The plotline was then changed to focus on the group of kids alone, and later, the kids battling adulthood. In 2001, the show's pilot episode, "No P in the OOL", won a Cartoon Network viewer's poll. As a result, Codename: Kids Next Door was greenlit to become a series. −

− − The show originally revolved around four children (three boys and one girl) and a dog. The fearless brave leader Thomas "Tommy" Pickles (whose family moved from Akron, Ohio to their current location in California), the cautious toddler Charles "Chuckie" Finster who reluctantly agreed to venture out into the open, unsafe areas of the house, the twin-infants Phillip "Phil" and Lillian "Lil" DeVille who were ready for a new challenge, and Spike, Tommy's dog. The toddlers are able to communicate with each other through baby speak, although viewers can understand them, because it is 'translated'. A running gag in the show is that they mispronounce words or use poor grammar and their speaking is full of malapropisms. An example of this is using the word "poopetrator" instead of "perpetrator" in "The Trial" episode. The group is often reluctantly joined by Tommy's cousin, Angelica Pickles. At three years old, Angelica is able to communicate and understand language from both the toddlers and the adults, which she often uses as an advantage when she wants to manipulate either party. She is usually very mean to the babies. Susie Carmichael, who lives across the street from the Pickles, is also able to communicate on the same level as Angelica, though she is not manipulative. As a result of this, as well as being favored by the babies, she often clashes with Angelica.

+

Storylines
− After The Rugrats Movie (1998), in which Tommy's baby brother Dylan "Dil" Pickles is born, he was soon added as a character on the show. As a 1 year old baby, Dil is not able to communicate with anyone. Later after Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (2000) was released, Kimi Finster was added as a character. She is Chuckie's stepsister. + The episodes are titled as the Kids Next Door's missions, denoted as "Operation:" followed by an acronym which often gives viewers clues as to what the story is about. Every mission may or may not be chronologically ordered in relation to the previous or the next, but it's accepted that most of the time they occur in the order that the episodes are shown. Sometimes missions make a references to certain situations, or lead to consequences in another mission. Mostly in the earlier episodes, the stories were often about typical childhood problems, but magnified and exaggerated. As the series progressed, a bigger, more complex storyline developed. +

KND Universe
− Leaving the safety of their own playpen, the children would explore their surroundings and try to make sense out of what the adults are doing. The babies often manage to get away with meandering off and going on escapades, for the reason that Tommy’s daddy, Stu, is more often than not trying to create toys downstairs in the basement. Tommy's mother, Didi, is normally reading the most modern good-parenting guide too actively to take any kind of notice, and his paternal grandfather, Lou, is customarily sleeping in front of the television, oblivious to their antics. While most of the time, the babies are in their playpen, they always manage to get out using a plastic screwdriver Tommy keeps in his diaper (unbeknownst to any of the adults). When they create any kind of mess or visible damage, they are almost never seen as the instigators, due to them being babies. If an older person is in the vicinity of the mess (usually Angelica), that individual is held accountable. The most treacherous escapade the babies embarked occured in The Rugrats Movie where they got lost in the forest going against a man-eating wolf and a pack of circus monkeys determined to steal their baby food. + The world portrayed in KND is one that resembles childhood make-believe, with children going on epic adventures, and creating secret weapons and tools from everyday items and refuse. The series continually straddles the borderline of admitting whether the events are meant to be interpreted as the imagination of children or taken verbatim as a cohesive universe. The Episode 'Operation: A.R.C.H.I.V.E.' addresses this dichotomy most directly; Numbuh One's school teacher dismissing his report on the great Adult Conspiracy as fiction, only to be seen later making a surreptitious phone call with the message "They Know". + The Kids Next Door Organization is a worldwide group comprising thousands of kids joined in mutual struggle against adult tyranny. They fight villains that embody specific menaces to children overall. For every member of Kids Next Door, upon following a period of training, the kids then choose a number or alphanumerical code (pronounced "numbuh") and sent to a "sector", that is, a treehouse of gigantic proportions. The main headquarters of the Kids Next Door, the Moon Base, is located on the moon. Kids follow their oath of protecting other kids as well as battling adulthood until the age of 13, when they are "decommissioned": their brains are washed-clean of memories of any past KND activity, upon which they are hence considered teenagers, and a threat to KND as well. Such a practice has inevitably led to the creation of many KND villains (notably Cree, Numbuh 5's older sister, and Chad, formerly numbuh 274 and supreme commander of the Kids Next Door). The practice of strict decommissioning at age 13 was later on revealed to be subject to some exceptions: kids who have proved to be exceptional agents are offered the chance to carry on in KND as spies infiltrating the teen organization (see Maurice for a prime example). This practice is kept secret. Decommissioning has also proved reversible due to a recomissioning module used twice in the series, once in Operation: E.N.D. and once again in the full length motion-picture Operation: Z.E.R.O., where it is subsequently destroyed by the first member of the Kids Next Door and their founder Numbuh Zero (also Numbuh One's dad). − The Pickles are a mixed Jewish-Christian family. There are two episodes that reflect the Pickles' Jewish heritage, one episode deals with the Passover holiday and the other with Hanukkah (in addition to episodes about Christmas, Easter, Kwanzaa, etc.).

Origins
+

Technology
+ KND agents utilize a vast array of mechanical and/or electronic gadgets and machinery, collectively referred to as 2x4 (two-by-four) Technology. It typically falls into one of three categories: gadgetry, weaponry, and transportation. The KND 2x4 technology was originally conceived as an assortment of common household objects, being put to use in combat situation; a theme that their offensive weapons still adhere to. However, as the series progressed, the complexity of their defensive weaponry and transportation advanced to such absurd levels as to be considered science fiction (e.g. time machines, cloning devices, shrinking rays, age accelerators etc.), despite all of it still being constructed with nothing but household materials and refuse. − Rugrats was formed by the then husband-and-wife duo of Gabor Csupo and Arlene Klasky, along with Paul Germain in 1989. Klasky-Csupo had a major animation firm at the time which also provided services for commercials and music videos. Klasky, Csupo, and Germain were also animating The Simpsons at the time, which they would continue to do until 1992. The trio decided to create their own series in reaction to a proclamation by the children's cable network Nickelodeon that they were to launch their own line of animated shows, which would be later called Nicktoons. With the comedic stimulation branching from the antics of Klasky and Csupo's infant children, the 6$1/2$–minute pilot episode, "Tommy Pickles & the Great White Thing" (never to be aired), went into production.

+ A common theme of the show is the introduction of a new never-before-seen device, complete with its own acronym, in a sidebar screen that temporarily interrupts the storyline. It is interesting to note that many of these devices require military-level driving or piloting skills, in order for them to operate effectively. However not all of the technology is made of other items. Several times (mostly on Numbuh 5's personal missions) weapons have been made out of candy. − Peter Chung, along with Klasky and Csupo, co-designed the characters and directed the series pilot, "Tommy Pickles And The Great White Thing," as well as the opening sequence. The production was completed in 1990 and they submitted it to Nickelodeon, who tested it with an audience of children. The feedback for the pilot episode was primarily positive. With that, the series went into production. Chuckie and Angelica were added as characters.

+

DVD releases
− Paul Germain felt that the series needed a bully. Angelica was based on a bully in Germain's childhood, who was a girl. In addition to that, it was Germain who decided that Angelica would be a spoiled brat. Arlene Klasky, one of the show's creators initially did not like Angelica Pickles. Klasky also protested Angelica's actions in episodes like "Barbecue Story" (where she threw Tommy's ball over the fence). + 2 DVDs in 2 volumes were released of Codename: Kids Next Door, in 17 half episodes: + 	+ 	+ 	+ 	+ 	+ 	+ 	+

Characters
− In a New Yorker article, Klasky said, "I think she's a bully. I never liked Angelica." Klasky never fully approved of her character development. Her bullying caused Arlene to disdain her. Angelica started to become a problem for the some of the Rugrats staff. In some instances, her voice, Cheryl Chase, had trouble portraying a mean Angelica. To help Chase out, Steve Viksen, one of the writers, would mention that Angelica was the series's J.R. Ewing. +

Sector V
+ 	+ 	+ − After The Rugrats Movie and seeing the "new" Angelica in the film, Klasky changed her tune: "I think she's great for the show; I love Angelica."
 * Numbuh One/Nigel Uno (voiced by Benjamin Diskin) - The leader and head of Sector V, a workaholic, bald British boy who is rarely seen without his trademark sunglasses, and does not put complete trust in anyone but his teammates. He is bald due to an unexplained event involving the Delightful Children from Down the Lane, and Numbuh Five's shirking of duties (as mentioned in the episode "F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.") and a bad haircut from his dad long before the series started. Throughout the series, his girlfriend is Lizzie Devine, but their relationship came to an end when she explained that she was tired of his always putting KND priorities over her. He is the only operative on his team without a sibling. His last name, Uno, is Spanish for the number one. When in a fight, he shouts his war cry: "KIDS NEXT DOOR...BATTLE STATIONS!".
 * Numbuh Two/Hogarth "Hoagie/Hank" Pennywhistle Gilligan Jr. (voiced by Benjamin Diskin) - An inventor and pilot with a passion for flight which wears an old fashion pilot hat. He is a chubby European American boy obsessed with cracking puns at every chance he sees. He hangs out with nerds on occasion and enjoys some considerably unusual interests (such as trading cards), and also enjoys being a detective (he once interrogated his family and the Sanbans when a Rainbow Monkey was stabbed at the dinner table). He was the one who designed the Sector's treehouse. This was mentioned by Numbuh Four in "Operation: H.U.G.S.". Food is also something he shows great interest in, and underlies much of what he does.
 * Numbuh Three/Kuki Sanban (Lauren Tom) - An 'airhead' and the epitome of 'girly' and optimistic, is a usually happy Japanese girl whose love for every creature almost always interferes with her responsibilities. She has a great love for, is a fan of, and has extensive knowledge about Rainbow Monkeys (which her room is filled with), and will often irrationally defend them, occasionally allowing her insanely aggressive side to show (generally accompanied by her face turning red, teeth and ears becoming pointed and eyes flaming, resembling an oni).

+ −
 * Numbuh Four/Wallabee "Wally" Beetles (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - A short, blonde-haired, impulsive Australian boy known for acting without thinking. He is a jock and a sort-of bully as he is the most capable when it comes to physical fighting and he plays the most sports of the group, but is arguably the least intelligent KND operative, which leads to him being easily fooled, and most usually selected for dangerous parts in missions. He is not always briefed on everything about the mission, such as "Operation: H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L.", when he didn't know the injured operative was Bradley (a.k.a. Numbuh Six the skunk), and in operation U.N.D.E.R.C.O.V.E.R. he was the only one who didn't know what the "crud"(his special word) was going on at the end of the episode. Wallabee is barely literate and is ignorant in basic knowledge of social studies, English and mathematics, and his grades in school greatly reflect this. He also has a crush on Numbuh 3, which runs throughout the series.

Production
− Rugrats was Nickelodeon's second Nicktoon, debuting on the same day as Doug (which premiered before it) and The Ren and Stimpy Show (which debuted after). The first run of the series was produced from 1991 to 1993 before production went on a hiatus (episodes that had not yet been released at that point continued to be released through 1994). Between 1995 and 1996, only two Jewish-themed specials were aired, and the rest of the series aired in reruns. Production on new episodes began 1997, and the show aired in Nickelodeon's Snick block from 1997 to 2000. As of 2011, it is the longest-lasting Nicktoon to date, at over fourteen years longevity, and did not cease production of new episodes until 2004. In terms of number of episodes, it is still in first, but by 2011 it will be surpassed by SpongeBob SquarePants, which will have 178 episodes by the end of its eighth season, barring a Rugrats revival or a SpongeBob cancellation; SpongeBob will reach Rugrats in terms of years on air in 2013.

+ −	On August 11, 2001, Rugrats celebrated its 10-year anniversary. The special/TV movie, Rugrats: All Growed Up was produced for the occasion. After the show, a special retrospective lookback aired, entitled "Rugrats: Still Babies After All These Years." It was narrated by Amanda Bynes. Nickelodeon approved of its ratings and popularity so much (about 70% of viewers with cable tuned in), they eventually commissioned a full series, All Grown Up, which ran from 2003 to 2008. +	 | title =Operation: F.L.A.V.O.R. − +	 | episodelink =List_of_Codename:_Kids_Next_Door_episodes#Season_2:_2003-2004|Operation: F.L.A.V.O.R. − Rugrats ended on June 8, 2004, along with fellow Nicktoon, Hey Arnold. After the run, two fairy-tale themed direct-to-video films based on the original series under the title, Rugrats: Tales from the Crib were produced and then released separately in 2005 and in 2006. +	 | series =Codename: Kids Next Door −		 	+	 | airdate =2003-11-07 −
 * Numbuh Five/Abigail Lincoln (voiced by Cree Summer) - An intelligent and laid back tomboy of African American and French descent, she keeps her head cool even in the worst situations. Abigail rarely overreacts in their missions, and sometimes, she would try to mollify her friends (Operation L.I.Z.Z.I.E., Operation L.O.C.K.D.O.W.N., and Operation M.U.N.C.H.I.E.S) and even friends that have become enemies, usually Heinrich Von Marzipan. In Operation D.I.A.P.E.R., Abigail sings to calm the crying babies at the treehouse. She talks in third person much of the time, and her passion is candy and sweets—most notably ice-cream (which she seems to be connected to, once doubling over in pain when an ice-cream plant was destroyed), this is best shown and hinted at in her solo adventures. Her life's dream was to taste the legendary Fourth Flavor of ice-cream, which she lived out in "Operation F.L.A.V.O.R.". {{cite episode

Voice actors
+	 | season =2 −		 	+	 | number =6}} − Through its full run, Rugrats, occupied several main voice actors. E.G. Daily provided the voice of Tommy Pickles, except in the unaired pilot where Tami Holbrook provided the voice; Christine Cavanaugh was the original voice of Chuckie Finster, but left after 2001 for personal reasons and was subsequently replaced by Nancy Cartwright in 2002. The fraternal twins, Phil and Lil (as well as their mother, Betty) were voiced by Kath Soucie; Dil Pickles (and Timmy McNulty) were voiced by Tara Strong. Cheryl Chase initially auditioned for the role of Tommy, but was passed up. When the show came to series, she was brought on board to be cast as the voice of Angelica Pickles. Dionne Quan was the voice of Kimi Finster, however as she is legally blind, in order to do the voice, the producers had to interpret the scripts into Braille, so she could read them by sensing the bumps with her fingers. Susie was primarily voiced by Cree Summer, though in two episodes where she could not be in attendance E.G. Daily filled in. Other regular voice actors included Melanie Chartoff as Didi Pickles, Jack Riley as Stu Pickles, Tress MacNeille as Charlotte Pickles, and Michael Bell as Drew Pickles and Chaz Finster. David Doyle provided the voice of Grandpa Lou Pickles until his death in 1997, where Joe Alaskey took over till the end of the series. In 2000, Debbie Reynolds joined the cast as Lulu Pickles, Lou's second wife, and remained until the series' end. − −

Writing style
− With Rugrats it usually took a few months to make an episode, for the story has to get written, and then approved. The next process consisted of voice recording, storyboarding, pre-eliminating animation, overseas production & delivery, editing and polishing. All of that had to happen even before Klasky-Csupo sent the master tapes to Nick. In addition, fine animation took time to make. During the first six seasons of Rugrats it was, primarily divided into two eleven-minute episodes. After the second movie, during season 7, Rugrats made a change with a different format that consisted of three episodes per show, though it returned to its original two-episode-per-show format in the final two seasons.

Episodes
−

+

+ There are six seasons, each with 13 episodes (two half-length episodes counting as one), adding up to 78 episodes altogether. There have been two TV movies, the first taking place between the second and third episodes of Season 6 (Operation: Z.E.R.O.), and the second at the end of Season 6 (Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.). − −

Reception and achievements
−

Critical reception
− − Since its debut in 1991, Rugrats generally received positive reviews from critics and fans. In a 1995 interview, Steven Spielberg referred to the show as one of several shows that are the best children's programming at the time. Spielberg described Rugrats as "sort of a TV Peanuts of our time." It was named the 92nd-best animated series by IGN. Rugrats was also considered a strong point in Nickelodeon's rise in the 1990s. In a press release celebrating the show's 10th anniversary, Cyma Zarghami stated, "During the past decade, 'Rugrats' has evolved from a ratings powerhouse, being the number one children's show on TV, to pop icon status. It has secured a place in the hearts of both kids and adults, who see it from their own point of view". According to Nickelodeon producers, this show made them the number-one channel in the 1990s. Jeff Jarvis reviewed Rugrats and stated, "When the Simpsons was a segment on The Tracey Ullman Show, it was just a belch joke with hip pretensions. As a series, it grew flesh and guts. It was my favorite cartoon...until I discovered Nickelodeon's Rugrats, a sardonic, sly, kid's eye view of the world that skewers thirty-something parents and (The) Cosby (Show) kids." − −

Popularity, appeal, and controversy
−

− − When Rugrats débuted in 1991, it was not as hugely popular as it would later become. When production went on a hiatus from 1994, Nick began showing Rugrats repeats everyday. More and more people began to take notice of the show, with ratings and popularity for Rugrats and Nick rising. From 1995 to 2000, it was the highest-rated show on Nickelodeon and the highest rated kids' show. The show experienced a wide diverse audience consisting of kids, teenagers and adults alike. Rugrats was successful in receiving an average of 26.7 million viewers every week: 14.7 million kids (2-11), 3.2 million teens (12-17), and 8.8 million adults (18 and over). In addition, Rugrats was seen internationally in over 76 countries. It was the only one of the three original Nicktoons that continued in the 2000s, and had its own spin-off. It is the most successful of the three original Nicktoons. While the other Nicktoons were popular during their run, Doug would later slip out of Nick's hands and into Disney's; and Ren and Stimpy would crash and burn in a creative rights dispute (only to return several years later in a much raunchier version on another network). During its run, Rugrats was enjoyed by a number of famous stars including Alexa Vega, Daryl Sabara, Amanda Bynes, Aaron Carter, Ray Romano, Nivea and Bow Wow. − − With 172 episodes produced over the course of nearly 13 years, Rugrats remains the longest-running Nicktoon to date. SpongeBob SquarePants will surpass both benchmarks when it airs its 173rd episode on February 27, 2012. − − Rugrats was one of very few shows that pictured observant, identifiably Jewish families. Jewish and Christian religion groups gave the show high praises for their special holiday episodes. Nonetheless, at one point the Anti-Defamation League and the Washington Post editorial page castigated the series for its depiction of the Pickles grandparents, who purportedly looked like Nazi caricatures. − −

Awards and nominations

Honors
− − On June 28, 2001, in commemoration of their tenth anniversary, Rugrats received a star on the fabled Hollywood Walk of Fame, making it Nickelodeon’s first (and to date, only) series to receive a star. It was placed at 6600 W. Hollywood Bl., near Cherokee Ave. outside a toy and costume shop. − − In the October 2001 issue of Wizard Magazine, a leading magazine for comic book fans, they released the results of the 100 Greatest Toons ever, as selected by their readers, Rugrats ranked at #35. Three other Nicktoons—SpongeBob SquarePants, Invader Zim, and Ren and Stimpy—also placed on the list. − − In a list of TV Land’s The 2000 Best Things About Television, ranking the all-time TV shows, channels, commercials, people, catch phrases, etc., Rugrats is ranked #699. − − Angelica Pickles placed 7th in TV Guide's list of “Top 50 Greatest Cartoon Characters of All Time” in 2002. − −

Films
− In 1998, The Rugrats Movie was released, which introduced baby Dil, Tommy's little brother, onto the show. It grossed in worldwide results, $140,894,675, making it a very large box office success, considering its modest $24 million budget. Not only was the movie a commercial success, the film earned mixed to positive reviews from critics. As of 2011, it remains the highest grossing Rugrats film to date. In 2000 a sequel, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, was released, with two new characters introduced, Kimi and Kira. Kimi would become Chuckie's sister and Kira would become his new mother, after marrying his father. While it received a positive reception, it did not gross as high as the first film. − In 2003, Rugrats Go Wild was released. It was a crossover between the Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys. It is the lowest grossing Rugrats film to date. − −

Comics
− From 1998 to 2003, Nick produced a Rugrats comic strip, which was distributed through Creator's Syndicate. Initially written by show-writer Scott Gray and drawn by comic book artist Steve Crespo, with Rob Armstrong as editor. Will Blyberg came on board shortly after as inker. By the end of '98, Lee Nordling, who had joined as a contributing gag writer, took over as editor. Nordling hired extra writers, including Gordon Kent, Scott Roberts, Chuck Kim, J. Torres, Marc Bilgrey, and John Zakour, as well new artists including Gary Fields, Tim Harkins, Vince Giaranno, and Scott Roberts. Stu Chaifetz colored the Sunday strips. The Rugrats strip started out in many papers, but as often happens with spin-off strips, soon slowed down. It's still seen in some papers in re-runs. Two paperback collections were published by Andrews McMeel It's A Jungle-Gym Out There and A Baby's Work Is Never Done. − − During this time, Nickelodeon also published 30 issues of an all Rugrats comic magazine. Most of these were edited by Frank Pittarese and Dave Roman, and featured stories and art by the comic strip creators and others. The last nine issues featured cover art by Scott Roberts, who wrote and drew many of the stories. Other writers included Roman, Chris Duffy, Patrick M. O'Connell & Joyce Mann, and Jim Spivey. Other artists included Joe Staton and Ernie Colón. The magazine also included short stories, many by Pittarese, and games, as well as reprints from an earlier, UK produced Rugrats comic. − − Finally, Nick produced a special, 50 page comic magazine retelling of the film Rugrats In Paris, edited by Pittarese and Roman, with script by Scott Gray, pencils by Scott Roberts, and inks by Adam DeKraker. − −

Live performances
− − Rugrats—A Live Adventure was a show about Angelica's constant attempts to scare Chuckie. To help Chuckie combat his wide range of fears, Tommy invents a magic wand called the "People-ator" to make Chuckie brave. Angelica, however, wants Chuckie to stay scared, so she steals Tommy's wand. The Rugrats try to get it back, but to no avail. Angelica becomes Princess of the World. Eventually, Chuckie becomes brave thanks to the help of Susie, Mr. Flashlight and the audience. Many songs were included in the play, including the theme song. The music was met with a rather mixed reception, which applause was tepid at best. However, the dancing was much better received. In addition, as soon as a character approached the stage to engage the crowd, the response from the kids was wild. Chuckie's pleas help from the audience to stop Angelica's megalomaniacal march toward world domination elicited much excitement and response. Overall, despite the criticism, the show was well received. The show had two 40-minute acts, with a 20-minute intermission (or a commercial break). − −

Merchandise
− − Merchandise that was based on Rugrats varied from video games toothpaste, Kellogg’s cereal to slippers, puzzles, pajamas, jewelry, wrapping paper, Fruit Snacks, Inflatable balls, watches, pens, pencils, markers, cookie jars, key rings, action figures, and bubblegum. − The show also managed to spawn a popular merchandise line at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, EBay, Hot Topic, JCPenney, Toys "R" Us, Mattel, Barnes & Noble and Basic Fun, just to name a few.

In Other Media
− The Rugrats had their own cereal made by Post called Reptar Crunch Cereal. The Rugrats and Reptar were predominantly featured on the front, there's a board game on the back, and a special $3 rebate for Runaway Reptar on the side. This cereal was released for a limited time only, sold at US supermarkets 8/1/99 to 9/15/99 only, and not all supermarkets carried the cereal. To memorialize the movie, Rugrats in Paris, another Rugrats-based cereal came out in October 2000. Simply called the Rugrats in Paris Cereal, it has a similar appearance to Trix; it's a sweetened, multi-grain cereal with small-round bits in plain, red, purple and green. Small Eiffel Towers could also be seen. + -The books 2x4 Technology Handbook and Sooper Secrets and Boomerang Bloopers, both by Alison Wilgus. − Rugrats made fast-food appearances as well with the most appearances being on − Burger King. Their first fast food appearance was in 1994, when the Hardee's fast food chain offered a collection of Nicktoons toys as premiums that were included with kids' meals at Hardee's. All 4 Nicktoons at that time were featured—Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, Doug and Rugrats. Other food items that feature Rugrats were Fruit Snacks, Macaroni and Cheese, Bubble Gum and Campbell's Rugrats Pasta with Chicken and Broth.

+ -In Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall, Numbuhs One through Five, and villains Father, Toiletnator, and Stickybeard appear as non-playable characters. KNDefense armor and 2x4 Tech weapons are available for players, Sector V's treehouse can be explored, and KND S.C.A.M.P.E.R.s can be used for transport. − In their first tie-in with Burger King, 5 Rugrats toys were offered with their Kids Club meals, a different one with each meal. Each toy came with a 12-page (including covers) miniature version of Nickelodeon Magazine, which featured the toy's instructions, word search, picture puzzle, "Say What?”,a scrambled word puzzle, a coupon for Oral-B Rugrats toothpaste & toothbrush, and entry blanks to subscribe to Rugrats Comic Adventures, Nick Magazine and the Kids Club. From 1998 till 2003, "Rugrats" based-products included watches and various toys.

+ -In Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion, Father and Numbuh 1 are playable, Sector V Treehouse is a playable area, the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. and the C.O.O.L.-B.U.S. are used for transport, and Numbuh 2, Stickybeard, Numbuh 362, Numbuh 363, and Sergeant Sensible appear as NPCs. −

Premise
− The show revolves around four toddlers, Tommy Pickles, Chuckie Finster and the twins Phillip (Phil) and Lillian (Lil) DeVille, who are able to communicate to each other in baby speak (although viewers can understand them, because it is supposedly 'translated'). Often, they mispronounce words or use poor grammar. Despite the toddlers' inability and lack of desire to communicate with adults, they can understand their parents' speaking, although they often misunderstand what they hear, usually by taking metaphors literally and speaking in malapropisms. Angelica Pickles, at age three, is able to communicate and understand language from both the toddlers and the adults, which she often uses as an advantage when she wants to manipulate either party.

+ Codename: Kids Next Door, also known as Kids Next Door or by its acronym KND, is an American animated television series created by Tom Warburton and produced by Curious Pictures. The series debuted on Cartoon Network on December 6,2002. The series came about as the result of a viewer's poll by Cartoon Network. It briefly aired on Miguzi at 4:00 p.m. −

Production
− It was the network's second Nicktoon. The series was in production from 1991 to 1994, and again from 1996 to 2004. It aired in Nickelodeon's Snick block from 1997-2000 and it also aired on Nick Jr's block. It is the longest lasting Nicktoon to date at thirteen years of longevity. Rugrats received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a ceremony on June 28, 2001.

+ Broadcast as two episodes per half-hour (except for a few half-hour episodes), the central characters of the series are five ten-year olds who operate from their treehouse against the tyranny of adults and teenagers. The central characters make up what is known as Sector V of a worldwide organization called the Kids Next Door. − The show airs in the UK on CITV and Nickelodeon UK as well as in Canada on YTV. In Australia, it can be seen on Nickelodeon Australia. −

− After the introduction of SpongeBob SquarePants, popularity for Rugrats declined. The Rugrats never had a rival this strong in popularity (many shows were produced during the Rugrats lifetime, but none were as successful as SpongeBob SquarePants). In order to keep its popularity, the studios released several movies and specials, such as the introduction of Dil Pickles and Kimi Finster. Ironically, after these introductions, fans determined that Rugrats jumped the shark.

+

Overview
− When Nickelodeon declined to renew any more new episodes of Rugrats and All Grown Up, Klasky-Csupo (the studios responsible for Rugrats) closed down most of its operations. At the time of their cancellation, those series were the only Klasky-Csupo series on the Nickelodeon schedule. +

Production history
+ Mr. Warburton created a pilot episode for another show, Kenny and the Chimp. Originally, there was a group of children who called themselves "The Kids Who Lived Next Door" among the recurring characters. The Kids Next Door would get Kenny into trouble but the plotline was changed to focus on the group of kids alone, and later, them battling adulthood. In 2001 the show won on a Cartoon Network viewers' poll with its own pilot episode, No P in the OOL. +	 	+

Storylines
+ The stories are titled as missions, denoted as "Operation: " followed by an acronym which often give viewers clues to what the story is about. The stories are often about typical problems that children face, but usually magnified and exaggerated, mostly on the show's early episodes (this was slowly changed into a bigger, more complex storyline). Every mission might or might not be chronologically ordered in relation to the previous or the next, but it's accepted that most of the time they occur in the order that the episodes are shown. Sometimes a mission can make a reference to a certain situation, or lead to consequences in another mission. +	 	+

KND universe
+ The Kids Next Door Organization is a worldwide group comprising thousands of kids joined in mutual struggle against adult tyranny. They fight villains that embody specific menaces to children overall; such as Knightbrace (going to the dentist), Count Spankulot (spanking), the Common Cold (self-explanatory), Windsor and the Queen Tie (wearing ties), Mrs. Dirt (taking a bath), and Father/Benedict Uno, (the ultimate figure of authority). Following a period of training, kids are then assigned a number or alphanumerical code (pronounced "numbuh") and sent to a "sector", that is, a treehouse of gigantic proportions. The KND Organization HQ itself is set on the moon (Moonbase). Kids follow their oath of protecting other kids as well as battling adulthood until the age of 13, when they are "decommissioned": their brains are washed-clean of memories of any past KND activity, upon which they are thence considered teenagers, and a threat to KND as well. The practice of strict decommissioning at age 13 was later on revealed to be subject to some exceptions: kids (as seen in Operation M.A.U.R.I.C.E.) who have proved to be exceptional agents are offered the chance to carry on in KND as spies infiltrating the teen organization (see Maurice for a prime example). This practice is kept secret. Decommissioning has also proved reversible due to errors (Operation E.N.D., Operation Z.E.R.O.) and thus brainwashing is not necessarily permanent.

This is usually showcasing a humorous event inspired from the episode which follows the ending (These type of credits were also used in the first three season 3 episodes (F.U.T.U.R.E., A.F.L.O.A.T. and L.E.A.D.E.R.), while other episodes in that season used the old credits.).
 * All of the weapons, vehicles, and accessories the Kids Next Door use are presented in a 3D rendering with the name of the object shown underneath as an acronym. The words in the acronym are then spoken and usually refer to what said object does or the effect it has on its victims.
 * In the movie Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure, Kuki Sanban (A.K.A. Numbuh 3), makes multiple appearances as a substitute Grim Reaper.
 * Each of the kids' names is a vague reference to their corresponding number. Nigel Uno (Spanish for the number one), Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr. (being the second person to carry the name in his family, as well as Gilligan being second in command aboard the S.S. Minnow on Gilligan's Island), Kuki Sanban (In Japanese Sanban literally means "Number 3"), Wallabee Beetles (a reference to the Beatles, in which there were 4 members), and Abigail Lincoln (President Lincoln, who appears on the five dollar bill).
 * In an episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy The Mars Grim Reaper, Billy sees an alien hologram and says "Hey! This isn't 'Codename: Kids Next Door!'" A reference to (obviously) Codename: Kids Next Door. Also in another episode of Billy and Mandy, you see Grim watching TV. Listen closely and you can hear Numbuh 4 saying "Numbuh 2! You better clean up this mess before Numbuh 1 gets back!" In another episode on the moon, the moon base is seen, with number 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 playing a video game. There's also the crossover TV Movie, The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door.
 * In the Episode A.R.C.H.I.V.E.S., if you watch closely, when the kids are cheering for the retaliation plan, there is a kid dressed like the main protagonist, Ash, from the Japanese anime series Pokémon, possibly a reference for any of the fans who work for Cartoon Network.
 * Each of the kids' eyes are either closed or hidden frequently.Numbuh One wears sunglasses, Numbuh Two wears goggles, Numbuh Three sometimes closes her eyes, Numbuh Four's hair sometimes covers his eyes, and Numbuh Five's hat sometimes covers her eyes.

Plot
+

Overview
− The series centers around Mikey Simon, a teenage actor from Cleveland, Ohio, who embarks to Japan after winning a scratch-off card contest to star in the country's formerly popular anime series, LilyMu, and in doing this, rockets the show back to the top of the ratings, and becomes Japan's biggest anime star. Segments of LilyMu are seen at the beginning and end of each episode, but the show focuses primarily on the actors' and producers' lives off-set and Mikey's adjustments to the new world he has entered (similar in concept to The Famous Jett Jackson). The humor comes from the fact that because Mikey is an American, he actually stands out visually from the other cast members. While most characters on the show are drawn in an anime-inspired style (thin outlines, big, detailed eyes, small mouths, and all ten fingers), Mikey (and all other American characters) is drawn in a retro-inspired American cartoon manner (thicker outlines, single black dot pupil eyes, a larger mouth, and only eight fingers). +

Production history
+ Mr. Warburton created a pilot episode for another show, Kenny and the Chimp. Originally, there was a group of children who called themselves "The Kids Who Lived Next Door" among the recurring characters. The Kids Next Door would get Kenny into trouble but the plotline was changed to focus on the group of kids alone, and later, them battling adulthood. In 2001 the show won on a Cartoon Network viewers' poll with its own pilot episode, No P in the OOL. +

Storylines
− Each episode starts with the cast filming a LilyMu segment, but the take is ruined (with the exception of the Christmas special), sometimes revealing the conflict that they deal with through the rest of the episode, with a minor subplot running beneath the main plot. After the problem is resolved, the LilyMu segment will be shot again and successfully completed the second time, often changed to incorporate whatever lesson was learned during the main story. + The stories are titled as missions, denoted as "Operation: " followed by an acronym which often give viewers clues to what the story is about. The stories are often about typical problems that children face, but usually magnified and exaggerated, mostly on the show's early episodes (this was slowly changed into a bigger, more complex storyline). Every mission might or might not be chronologically ordered in relation to the previous or the next, but it's accepted that most of the time they occur in the order that the episodes are shown. Sometimes a mission can make a reference to a certain situation, or lead to consequences in another mission. +

KND universe
− The show has a large comedic overuse of face faults, such as a character's face and/or body turning into an exaggerated general appearance, or becoming much smaller. The show uses clichés common to anime, including the sweat drop, lines over the eyes or no eyes at all, big heads, flaming eyes, bodies becoming smaller (or super deformed). Sometimes Mikey will try to do these things, which are one of the show's running gags, but cannot, due to being drawn in an American style. The show is fast-paced, irreverent, and contains a fair amount of gross-out humor, which are signature elements of Western children's entertainment. + The Kids Next Door Organization is a worldwide group comprising thousands of kids joined in mutual struggle against adult tyranny. They fight villains that embody specific menaces to children overall; such as Knightbrace (going to the dentist), Count Spankulot (spanking), the Common Cold (self-explanatory), Windsor and the Queen Tie (wearing ties), Mrs. Dirt (taking a bath), and Father/Benedict Uno, (the ultimate figure of authority). Following a period of training, kids are then assigned a number or alphanumerical code (pronounced "numbuh") and sent to a "sector", that is, a treehouse of gigantic proportions. The KND Organization HQ itself is set on the moon (Moonbase).

The practice of strict decommissioning at age 13 was later on revealed to be subject to some exceptions: kids (as seen in Operation M.A.U.R.I.C.E.) who have proved to be exceptional agents are offered the chance to carry on in KND as spies infiltrating the teen organization (see Maurice for a prime example).

 * In Easy Come, Easy Gonard, the countdown clock shown is from the American television series 24.
 * In the episode Sumo of all Fears, the Lilymu episode is almost identical to the climax to the first Spider-Man film.
 * In the episode Lost in Transportation, when Mikey is in the coffee shop with the bikers, he tries to "dance his way out", so he jumps up on the counter and does a dance very similar to the Pee Wee Herman dance. The scene is a reference to "Pee Wee's Big Adventure".
 * Many of the "Kappa Mikey" episodes are parodies of famous movies, books, & more.
 * In the episode Ship of Fools The Videogame has graphics straight from Donkey Kong.
 * Lily's Punchbug's name comes from the children's game "slug-bug" or "punch-buggy", in which one child yells out "slug-bug!" and hits another in the shoulder or arm when they spot a VW Beetle. This is usually played as a car game (that is, played in a vehicle driven by an adult).
 * During the theme song, there is a scene where it shows Mikey dancing in a white, button-up shirt, his underwear, socks, and sunglasses accompanied by a pair of Dobermanns. This is likely a reference to Tom Cruise in Risky Business. The parody is in Mikey Impossible, the title of which is a parody of Mission Impossible, also starring Tom Cruise.
 * The instructor in The Lost Pilot greatly resembles Simon Cowell. Also in the episode, the audition LilyMu has for a new actor is reminiscent to the Idol series. (Pop Idol, American Idol, Australian Idol, etc.)
 * In the episode Big Brozu, Brozu says that he has to "Trump" his younger brother and fire him. This is reference to the reality show The Apprentice in which Donald Trump uses the catchphrase "You're fired" to eliminate contestants on the show.
 * Mikey's Orb in LilyMu appears to be based on the sentinel sphere from the Phantasm movies. It can fly around with no explainable means of propulsion other than having been thrown into the air (although it is possible that its saw blades act as lifting rotors of some sort). It also appears to have a limited intelligence, allowing it to do things like hover, navigate itself to cut multiple targets, and return to Mikey after it has served its purpose.
 * In the episode "Uh oh, Guano" Mikey's horse is named Sea Cookie which is a spoof off of "Seabiscuit" an American movie.
 * In A Christmas Mikey:
 * The title is a parody of the movie "A Christmas Story" (or A Christmas Carol). The story parodies both It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol.
 * Mitsuki's performance in the mansion scene is a parody of Gloria Swanson's role as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. Also in A Christmas Mikey, Mitsuki has a monkey named Professor Bobo, likely a reference to the Mystery Science Theater 3000 character of that name.
 * Lily's career doing voice-over work (to Mikey's and a passerby's disgust) is a meta-reference on the show itself.
 * Guano as a chimney sweep with a British accent may be a reference to the chimney sweeps in Mary Poppins - he is in fact whistling "Chim Chim Cherrie" when he first appears in this role.
 * When Mikey is upset over Ozu not giving him a new contract, Gonard says, "Don't worry, we'll get you that monkey assistant," and he puts on a yellow hat, which is a reference to Curious George.
 * In The Good, The Bad, & The Mikey, at the beginning of the staged fight sequence between Kappa Mikey and Captin Impressive, the beginning to Beat It, a song by Michael Jackson can be heard.
 * In Mikey Likes It(Garbage), when Lily is looking around in the resturant, there are two familiar couples: One is the pirate from Ship of Fools and Vito's wife (with blonde hair), and the other is the balif from The Fugi-Kid with the old lady that sometimes makes a cameo appearance.

 * In the movie Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure, Kuki Sanban (A.K.A. Numbuh 3), makes multiple appearances as a substitute Grim Reaper.
 * The show features secondary characters and extras, mostly in crowd scenes, whose designs are directly inspired off of famous anime characters, but who are different enough to avoid copyright infringements. Sometimes this is done to spoof the films and television programs intentionally, such as the character Masaka Masako, whose appearance spoofs Yubaba's from the film Spirited Away. Other times, it is done to continue the show's original concept, without any intention behind it.
 * The LilyMu show seems to be based on the classic Japanese Rubber Suit shows such as Super Sentai(the original version of Power Rangers), Kamen Rider(Masked Rider in the US), and Ultraman.
 * The show's title is a variation on the word kappamaki, a type of sushi. It is suggested that it was the inspiration for naming the title character Mikey, and uses the prefix kappa. Like Mikey, who is a 'fish out of water' in Japan, the kappa creature itself is a water demon who can live on land. The kappas first appeared on this show in the episode Mikey, Kappa, on August 5th.
 * Some of the settings in the show are real locations in Japan, including Ginza, and Yoyogi Park.
 * Sean Schemmel (Gonard) is one of the many English voices of Goku and miscellaneous characters from Dragon Ball, which Gonard's [off-set] design is deliberately spoofing. His character's appearance on the "LilyMu" show is also a spoof of the typical demon-like characters Goku and his friends constantly fight against in Dragon Ball. Gonard's love of food may also be a spoof of Goku's large appetite.
 * The phrase "Oh, Mikey!", which is said several times in the show, seems to be a nod towards the Japanese television show Oh! Mikey, which also has the premise of Americans moving to Japan.
 * In the episode "Battle of the Bands" mostly all the guitars are blue rickenbacker Model 4003 basses, similar to Haruko's bass guitar in FLCL.
 * In the episode "Battle of the Bands" there is a band and cartoon show that obviously reference Japanese band and cartoon stars Ami and Yumi from the band Puffy AmiYumi.
 * In the episode Sumo of all Fears, Mikey wishes to become the greatest yokozuna to get respect from everyone. This is a reference to Naruto, where the main character Naruto Uzumaki wishes to become Hokage for the same purpose as Mikey did.
 * In the episode "Free Squiddy", there is a scene in which the cast, trapped in a giant sticky ball of objects, roll through Tokyo and stick many people into the ball along the way. This scene is based upon Katamari Damacy, and even features a cameo character resembling the Prince of All Cosmos, who is rolling a Katamari ball of his own. Sadly, he also gets stuck to the original ball.
 * In the episode "Saving Face", Mikey goes to the doctor to get his pimple removed. The doctor that preforms the surgery is named Doctor Katashi, which is a reference to the Naruto character Kakashi. This is clear because of the name and the headband over the eye, just like Kakashi's headband.

 * Each of the kids' names is a vague reference to their corresponding number. Nigel Uno (Spanish for the number one), Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr. (being the second person to carry the name in his family, as well as Gilligan being second in command aboard the S.S. Minnow on Gilligan's Island), Kuki Sanban (In Japanese Sanban literally means "Number 3"), Wallabee Beetles (a reference to the Beatles, in which there were 4 members), and Abigail Lincoln (President Lincoln, who appears on the five dollar bill).

Cultural errors

 * In the episode Ship of Fools, the video game boxes for the Lily-Mu video game have a rating of "E for Everyone" from North America's Entertainment Software Rating Board rating system rather than a rating from Japan's Computer Entertainment Rating Organization rating system.
 * In an episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy The Mars Grim Reaper, Billy sees an alien hologram and says "Hey! This isn't 'Codename: Kids Next Door!'" A reference to (obviously) Codename: Kids Next Door. Also in another episode of Billy and Mandy, you see Grim watching TV. Listen closely and you can hear Numbuh 4 saying "Numbuh 2! You better clean up this mess before Numbuh 1 gets back!" In another episode on the moon, the moon base is seen, with number 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 playing a video game. There's also the crossover TV Movie, The Grim Adventures of the Kids Next Door.
 * In the Episode A.R.C.H.I.V.E.S., if you watch closely, when the kids are cheering for the retaliation plan, there is a kid dressed like the main protagonist, Ash, from the Japanese anime series Pokémon, possibly a reference for any of the fans who work for Cartoon Network.
 * Each of the kids' eyes are either closed or hidden frequently.Numbuh One wears sunglasses, Numbuh Two wears goggles, Numbuh Three sometimes closes her eyes, Numbuh Four's hair sometimes covers his eyes, and Numbuh Five's hat sometimes covers her eyes.

Premise

Overview
+ − The show originally revolved around a group of toddlers, Thomas "Tommy" Pickles (whose family moved from Akron, Ohio to their current location in California ), Charles "Chuckie" Finster, and the twins Phillip "Phil" and Lillian "Lil" DeVille. The toddlers are able to communicate with each other through baby speak, although viewers can understand them, because it is 'translated'. Often, they mispronounce words or use poor grammar and their speaking is full of malapropisms. An example of this is using the word "poopetrator" instead of "perpetrator." The group is often reluctantly joined by Tommy's cousin, Angelica Pickles. At age three years old, Angelica is able to communicate and understand language from both the toddlers and the adults, which she often uses as an advantage when she wants to manipulate either party. She is usually very mean to the babies. Susie Carmichael, who lives across the street from the Pickles, is also able to communicate on the same level as Angelica, though she isn't manipulative. As a result, Angelica and Susie often clash. +

Production history
+ Mr. Warburton created a pilot episode for another show, Kenny and the Chimp. Originally, there was a group of children who called themselves "The Kids Who Lived Next Door" among the recurring characters. The Kids Next Door would get Kenny into trouble. The plotline was then changed to focus on the group of kids alone, and later, the kids battling adulthood. In 2001, the show's pilot episode, "No P in the OOL", won a Cartoon Network viewer's poll. As a result, Codename: Kids Next Door was greenlit to become a series. +

Storylines
− In 1998, a new character was introduced. After The Rugrats Movie, in which Tommy's baby brother Dylan "Dil" Pickles is born, he was soon added as a character on the show. As a four month old baby, Dil is not able to communicate with anyone. Later in 2000, after Rugrats in Paris: The Movie was released, Kimi Finster was added as a character. She is Chuckie's stepsister. + The episodes are titled as the Kids Next Door's missions, denoted as "Operation:" followed by an acronym which often gives viewers clues as to what the story is about. Every mission may or may not be chronologically ordered in relation to the previous or the next, but it's accepted that most of the time they occur in the order that the episodes are shown. Sometimes missions make a references to a certain situations, or lead to consequences in another mission. Mostly in the earlier episodes, the stories were often about typical childhood problems, but magnified and exaggerated. As the series progressed, a bigger, more complex storyline was developed. −

Characters

KND Universe
+ The Kids Next Door Organization is a worldwide group comprising thousands of kids joined in mutual struggle against adult tyranny. They fight villains that embody specific menaces to children overall; such as Knightbrace (going to the dentist), Count Spankulot (spanking), the Common Cold (self-explanatory), Windsor and the Queen Tie (wearing ties), Mrs. Dirt (taking a bath), and Father/Benedict Uno, (the ultimate figure of authority). For every member of Kids Next Door, upon following a period of training, the kids are then assigned a number or alphanumerical code (pronounced "numbuh") and sent to a "sector", that is, a treehouse of gigantic proportions. The main headquarters of the Kids Next Door, the Moon Base, is located on the moon. Kids follow their oath of protecting other kids as well as battling adulthood until the age of 13, when they are "decommissioned": their brains are washed-clean of memories of any past KND activity, upon which they are thence considered teenagers, and a threat to KND as well. The practice of strict decommissioning at age 13 was later on revealed to be subject to some exceptions: kids who have proved to be exceptional agents are offered the chance to carry on in KND as spies infiltrating the teen organization (see Maurice for a prime example). This practice is kept secret. Decommissioning has also proved reversible due to errors and thus brainwashing is not necessarily permanent. Their 2x4 tech is made of random every-day objects. −

− − The Pickles are a mixed Jewish-Christian family. There are two episodes that reflect the Pickles' Jewish heritage, one episode deals with the Passover holiday and the other with Hanukkah (in addition to episodes about Christmas, Easter, Kwanzaa, etc.). These episodes have been praised by Jewish groups and are re-run every year on Nick at the appropriate holiday times and can also be purchased on VHS or DVD.

Sector V
− Rugrats was Nickelodeon's second Nicktoon. The series was in production from 1991 to 1994, and again from 1996 to 2004. It aired in Nickelodeon's Snick block from 1997-2000. It is the longest lasting Nicktoon to date, at over fourteen years longevity. The Rugrats received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a ceremony on June 28, 2001. + 	+ 	+ 	+ − On August 11, 2001, Rugrats celebrated its 10 year anniversary. The special/TV movie, "Rugrats: All Growed Up" was produced for the occasion. After the show, a special retrospective lookback aired, entitled Rugrats: Still Babies After All These Years. It was narrated by Amanda Bynes.
 * Numbuh One (Nigel Uno) (Ben Diskin), leader and head of Sector V, a workaholic, bald British kid who does not put complete trust in anyone but his teammates. Throughout the series, his girlfriend is Lizzie Devine, but their relationship was ended when she explained that she was tired of him always putting KND priorities over her. He is the only operative on his team without a sibling, though he shares a close bond with his female cousin Numbuh 10. His last name, Uno, is Spanish for the number one. He is easily annoyed by distractions and occasionally has a short temper, and is somewhat paranoid. A running joke after an initial episode is that he has a very big butt. He is often embarrassed by this with his underwear is revealed in several episodes and he is naked in one. His primary conflict is with Father, later revealed to be his uncle, whose main goal is consistently to destroy the Kids Next Door and Numbuh 1 altogether. His own father was once the KND's greatest agent, Numbuh Zero, and was briefly recommissioned to help the KND fight against Grandfather and his legion of Senior Citizombies. Nigel's mother is Numbuh 999, the first girl operative in the seventh age of the Kids Next Door, which is revealed in the series finale. Throughout the series, he shows great leadership skills, resourceful thinking, and devotion to the KND and kids' rights in general, which ultimately results in him being selected to join the Galactic Kids Next Door, as detailed in the series finale Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S. and hinted at throughout the final episodes leading up to it. It appears that he stays at the GKND for at least 30 years. Whether he aged or not is never shown. Possibility, Nigel marries Rachel a.k.a. (Numbuh 362) because in Operation F.U.T.U.R.E. a child or grandchild shared Nigel looks and Rachel hair color blond. Certain aspects of his character design and personality seem to be based off of the character Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise in the television show Star Trek: The Next Generation, such as his red shirt, British accent, his dedication to his work and his friends, and obvious baldness.
 * Numbuh Two (Hoagie Pennywhistle Gilligan Jr.) (Ben Diskin), an inventor and pilot with a passion for flight, a chubby American kid obsessed with cracking puns at every chance he sees. He hangs out with nerds on occasion and enjoys some considerably nerdy interests, and also enjoys being a detective (he once interrogated his family and the Sanbans when a Rainbow Monkey was stabbed at the dinner table) . He was the one who designed the Sector's treehouse. This was mentioned by Numbuh Four in "Operation: H.U.G.S." . Food is also something he shows great interest in, and underlies much of what he does. He has a crush on Numbuh Five's sister Cree throughout the series, and often ignores the fact that she is an enemy and considers him extremely annoying. His being "Jr." ostensibly makes him the number two. His family members include his mother, who seems to have some inventions of her own, and a little brother named Tommy (later Numbuh T, and then "The Tommy") who is also a prolific inventor in his own right. According to the series finale, he is still fat. It is also shown that he was aware of the Galactic KND and gave Numbuh 1 several 2x4 technology he was working on, though he states they're probably nothing compared to what the Galactic KND have. In the episode I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S, he is shown to have married teammate Numbuh Five.
 * Numbuh Three (Kuki Sanban) (Lauren Tom), an 'airhead' and the epitome of 'girly', optimistic, usually happy Japanese girl whose love for every creature almost always interferes with her responsibilities. She has a great love for, is a fan of, and has extensive knowledge about Rainbow Monkeys (which her room is filled with), and will often irrationally defend them, occasionally allowing her insanely aggressive side to show (generally accompanied by her face turning red, teeth and ears becoming pointed and eyes flaming, resembling an oni). Despite her usual demeanor, she is just as capable as the other operatives in her sector - her trademark 2x4 technology is a large, robotic bunny that she rides in, it is revealed in the series finale that she isn't an airhead and was in fact aware of everything around her this whole time and acts perky and dense so she doesn't feel sad. Loosely translated from Japanese, Sanban means "number three". It is implied throughout the series that she has a crush on Numbuh Four, and is often angered by his insensitivity towards her and Rainbow Monkeys. In her cameo in The Grim Adventures of Billy &amp; Mandy movie, she is allotted the position of the Grim Reaper, putting Grim out of commission. Her family consists of two incredibly uptight parents who demonstrate suppressed anger as she does, and her little sister Mushi, who is arguably cuter than she is but twice as cruel. As an adult, Kuki becomes owner of the entire Rainbow Monkey Corporation and, opposing her attitude as a child, tears down an amusement park related to it, claiming that The Rainbow Monkey Let's-Learn-About-The-Lavatory Fun Park was just too stupid and smelly, she also shows that she is no longer an excitable, optimistic girly-girl and lashes out a few times, and that she ultimately marries Numbuh Four, all mentioned in the season finale.

 * Numbuh Four (Wallabee Beatles) (Dee Bradley Baker), a short, blonde-haired, impulsive Australian boy known for acting before thinking. He is the most capable when it comes to physical fighting, but is arguably the least intelligent KND operative, which leads to him being easily fooled, and most usually selected for dangerous parts in missions. He is not always briefed on everything about the mission, such as Op. H.O.S.P.I.T.A.L., when he didn't know the injured operative was Bradley, a.k.a. Numbuh Six the skunk. Wallabee is barely literate and is ignorant in basic knowledge of social studies, English and mathematics, and his grades in school greatly reflect this. However, he does have some moments where he shows some intelligence, such as when evil version of the KND (knows the DNK, Destructively Nefarious Kids) posed as his friends around he was able to tell that they were impostors (despite that they looked exactly like the originals), and being able to realize the evil version of him, Negative Numbuh Four was a coward since he found that the evil versions of the KND were the opposites of the normal ones. He is very possessive over things that belong to him, and will go to great lengths to recover anything that was taken from him, which tends to be something small, replaceable, or insignificant. His passion is dodgeball, which he displays great talent in. He used to secretly go to the Bully Fights, until his opponent presented was his father. He has a terrible fear of swimming and doesn't learn how until late in the series, which leads to many water-related conflicts. Besides his other phobias (girls and Rainbow Monkeys) 4 is also unlucky (possibly because 4 is unlucky in Chinese): he once found himself at a convention of KND villains. He has a slightly complicated crush on Numbuh Three, and constantly denies it because he is in opposition to all things cute and girly, and often is easily annoyed by her antics. Numbuh Four has numerous times tried to tell Numbuh Three that he likes her but was inturupted every time. In "Operation C.A.K.E.D.-F.O.U.R.", he quickly objects when The Kid flirts with Numbuh Three, but can't do much to stop it because he is stranded on an island in the middle of the river; when the announcer calls him a "loser in love", he is quick to deny that love has anything to do with it. His last name, Beetles, is a reference to British rock band The Beatles, who were also known as the Fab Four - his hair style also seems to be referenced to them. His family consists of his father, an accountant, and his mother, who are both seemingly as clueless as he is (if not more), and his baby brother, who shows more potential in dodgeball than Numbuh Four does due to the rule "the younger you are, the better you are at dodgeball". In the series finale, he acts tough to disguise the fact that he's going to miss Numbuh 1. Numbuh Four also mentions that he is married to Numbuh Three when grown, and, in a great display of irony, he attended Harvard Medical School and is shown to be a few inches taller than his wife.
 * Numbuh Five (Abigail Lincoln) (Cree Summer), an intelligent and relaxed girl of African American and French descent who keeps her head cool even in the worst situations. She talks in third person much of the time, and her passion is candy and sweets - mostly notably ice-cream (to which she seems to be connected to, once doubling over in pain when an ice-cream plant was destroyed, similarly to Yoda during the Great Jedi Purge), this is best shown in her solo adventures and otherwise hinted at. Her life's dream was to taste the legendary Fourth Flavor of ice-cream, which she lived out in "Operation F.L.A.V.O.R.". {{cite episode

Theatrical films
+	 | title =Operation: F.L.A.V.O.R. − In 1998, the first Rugrats film was released, entitled The Rugrats Movie, which introduced baby Dil, Tommy's little brother, onto the show. In 2000 the second movie, Rugrats in Paris, was released, with two new characters introduced, Kimi and Kira. Kimi would become Chuckie's sister and Kira would become his new mother, after marrying his father. In 2003, the third movie, Rugrats Go Wild, was released. It was a crossover between the Rugrats and The Wild Thornberrys. +	 | episodelink =List_of_Codename:_Kids_Next_Door_episodes#Season_2:_2003-2004|Operation: F.L.A.V.O.R. 	+ | series =Codename: Kids Next Door +	 | airdate =2003-11-07 +	 | season =2 +	 | number =6}} Her last name, Lincoln, is a reference to former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, whose visage appears on the U.S. five dollar bill. Her evil teenage sister is Cree, and her parents' faces are never shown -just as Nigel Uno is the only Operative who doesn't have a sibling, Abigail's parents are the only ones whose faces are never shown; her father, however, has a voice that is a caricature of Bill Cosby's. As detailed in the series finale, following Nigel Uno's departure, she becomes the leader of sector V though she was at first reluctant because of an incident that is never mentioned (it can be speculated it was the incident with Numbuh 1's baldness), is promoted to Supreme Leader of KND three months later, and ultimately marries Numbuh 2 when grown. In at least one episode, including "Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S.", there is proof that she used to lead Sector V before she introduced Nigel to the KND. Also, in the conclusion to Operation: I.N.T.E.R.V.I.E.W.S., it is hinted that Numbuh 5 and the rest of Sector V were never decommissioned. +

Reception
