2.0 out of 5 stars
Somewhat dissapointing, February 12, 2004
The fact so many Rugrats songs are included (when there are so many other Rugrats CDs) seems wrong, given that very few of these other shows have soundtracks. Knowing Nickelodeon, I would've expected a greater emphasis on Spongebob, given how they've already over-saturated the market with Spongebob merchandise.What I really thought was lacking most from this CD were the various songs in "The Fairly OddParents". These, in my opinion, are some of the funniest and catchiest songs in any cartoon. "Icky Vicky", "My Shiny Teeth & Me", and "I Wish Everyday could be Christmas". Nickelodeon's biggest problem, in my opinion, is that they seem to fail to recognize when they have a good show and continue trying to over-sell things for other shows. Nick ignores shows like "Fairly OddParents" and "My Life as a Teenage Robot" in favor of producing more crap for Spongebob, Rugrats and the like. Overall, this CD is a dissapointing purchase. I wouldn't recommend it unless you either like many of the themes of these songs or are a big Rugrats fan.

Where's the REAL "OddParents" theme song?!, September 24, 2004
After all the new shows that joined the Nicktoon line-up between 1998 and 2001, it was high time Nickelodeon released another album featuring musical highlights of their cartoons. And this is the "Best of Nicktoons" sequel that we supposedly get. Or at least, that's what it seems.
While every show included on the preceding album had one version of their theme song and at least two musical highlights, it's half the opposite this time around. Here, "CatDog" (tracks 6-11), "The Wild Thornberrys" (13-19), "Angry Beavers" (23-25), "As Told By Ginger" (27-30), "Hey Arnold!" (36-41), and "Rugrats" (44-52) are the only Nicktoons to actually have musical highlights on the album, whereas "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Rocket Power", "Invader ZIM", "Pelswick", "ChalkZone", and "The Fairly OddParents!" get nothing more than their theme songs on the album. This is quite humiliating for those shows, especially since SpongeBob, Cosmo & Wanda, ZIM, and Otto can plainly be seen right there on the cover. It's especially humiliating for SpongeBob, who has had over three dozen songs featured on his show. And what's even worse, especially for fans of "The Fairly OddParents!", is that the theme song featured here is not the real version! (As in, it doesn't include any character dialogue like Vicky's "Bed, twerp!")
The album does not come with a lyrics booklet, which is either a plus or a minus, depending on if you were angered by the fact that the first album's booklet didn't specify which characters sang which song. On the plus side, "Homeboy Mix" makes for a great music video.

Zimmy, Fairly OddParents and Spongebob ?!?!?, November 28, 2002
A Kid's Review
I was defidently dissapointed with Nick's new CD. I expected a lot more SB considering it is one of the more popular shows but the only thing they had on there was the theme. Same with FOP and Invader Zim. For the Fairly Oddparents they could have put "Icky Vicky" and "I Wish Everyday could be Christmas". Invader Zim could have been "The Doom Song" and the best friends song?!? Also, they only had the theme for Chalkzone. What about "Comin' To Life", "Bushel Full of Yum", and "Skrawl"? I would not advise purchasing this CD.
