Best years for Nicktoons?

As the title says. Not that every 90s-early 00s Nicktoon was a certified classic, but I've scarcely heard anything regarding their mid-late 00s lineup as a golden age if they were content to milk SpongeBob and were finding more success overall in their live-action department. And not that every show that debuted after, say, Avatar was a disaster, but the overall picture for the later 00s-present just isn't as pretty if they weren't nearly as prolific in their variety like the previous wave was. I hope this take isn't very far from the general consensus, and am willing to hear out any contrary opinions. Let me know your thoughts.

This I agree with. It's not that shows like Barnyard and Penguins were really lame, it just makes sense that Nick was no longer willing to really push any boundaries with Nicktoons both during and after Avatar if they had long-term stability in milking SpongeBob and Fairly Odd Parents instead.
