Friday Night Nicktoons was a primetime block that began airing on January 5, 2001.[1] The block was mainly home to reruns, new episodes, and new shows from Nickelodeon's animated slate. Premiere episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants were featured during the block's run five times: once in 2001 at 8:30pm, and four times between 2002 and 2003 at 8:00pm.[9]

Various shows joined the block during its lengthy 3-year run: Rugrats,[14] Hey Arnold!,[1] The Fairly OddParents,[15] Rocket Power,[1] Invader Zim,[15] The Wild Thornberrys,[16] and CatDog[14] joined the lineup in 2001; ChalkZone[17] and The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius[17] joined in 2002; and My Life as a Teenage Robot joined in 2003.[18]

On March 12, 2004,[5] Friday Night Nicktoons was renamed to Prime Time Nicktoons, where the show aired reruns once at 8:30pm and 9:30pm,[12] until September 17.[6]

On September 24, Prime Time Nicktoons was renamed back to its original name, and gained an extra hour at 7:00pm. Unlike "Prime Time", reruns aired for an hour at 9:00pm.[7] Nearly 3 months later on December 17,[8] the block was removed from Nickelodeon's line up.
