RUGRATS
All Grown Up! (also known as AGU) is an American animated television series based on characters from Rugrats, now ten years older. Angelica and Susie are in the 7th grade, and the rest of the gang are pre-teens. It premiered in April 2003 as a preview before starting its regular run in late November (although in October, it began its regular run in the UK, on Nickelodeon UK and CITV, and in Canada on YTV). The show is based on the Rugrats' 10th anniversary episode, the TV movie The Rugrats: All Growed Up (aired in 2001), which proved so popular that Nickelodeon decided to commission a whole series. Production began in September 2002.
When the series premiered its regular run, more than 3.2 million viewers, and over a third of all kids watching cable in the United States, 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 Nick's history (when the sneak peek episode aired in April, it didn't make the top 15 cable programs for that week, due to the ongoing war in Iraq). The original titles for this series were All Growed Up and Rugrats: All Grown Up!.
In the US, All Grown Up! is currently on hiatus with Nick. However, there remain a significant number of unaired episodes.
