I bounced back and forth between both channels but I definitely watched Nickelodeon a lot more. Disney’s movies were way better than anything on TV and they were cranking out a new one every month. They really knew how to build up the buzz around the newest movie too. I can still name at least two dozen of those Disney Channel Original Movies. Couldn’t tell you one from Nickelodeon to be honest.
As far as TVs shows, I felt both channels were pretty equal. Nickelodeon seemed to have shows like Kenan and Kel or The Amanda Show that were pretty much kids’ versions of Saturday Night Live. Disney had the shows like Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens that felt more like sitcoms. The writing on Even Stevens was seriously good and still holds up to this day. But my favorite shows on the Disney Channel were Phil of the Future and So Weird.
Nickelodeon almost felt a little “trashier” in a way. It certainly had a little more edge to it at times. It felt a little more “teenager”. Whereas Disney was a little more wholesome and corny.
Both channels had some great programs. Then of course there was Cartoon Network, which was the channel equivalent of your friend’s older brother who smoked weed and had porn magazines under his mattress.
If you wanna know which kid's channel from the Big 3 I prefer, it's Nickelodeon.
