All Grown Up! is a Nickelodeon animated series, spun off from Rugrats and produced by Klasky Csupo Inc

The series revolves around the lives of the familiar characters, now 10 years older than they were on Rugrats. 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 ITV1, and in Canada on YTV). The show is based on the Rugrats' 10th anniversary episode, aired in 2001, which proved so popular that Nickelodeon decided to commission a whole series. Production began in September 2002. The principal characters and their traits (as well as their voice performers) have been carried over from the original Rugrats series, with a handful of changes, for example:

  • Phil (Kath Soucie) still revels in mess but his sister Lil (also Kath Soucie) focusses on finding her place in the school social scene,
  • Dil (Tara Strong), younger brother of would-be filmmaker Tommy (E.G. Daily), behaves weirdly at school,
  • Susie (Cree Summer, who also sings the series' theme song) upstages Angelica (Cheryl Chase) as a singer with real talent, and
  • a handful of new characters have also been added, including a girl named Savannah (Laraine Newman), the leader of the popular crowd at the Rugrats' school, who looks down on Angelica, as she has been a popular teen for much longer than Angelica; in the Rugrats' 10th anniversary episode, which served as the pilot, she was referred to as Samantha Shane and had a somewhat different personality and was Angelica's best friend.

Some time before the start of the series, the often unreliable TV Tome website published an episode guide that turned out to be fake (it was later replaced by another obtained from Klasky Csupo), in which one episode was supposedly going to be a parody of Malcolm in the Middle.

When the series premiered its regular run, more than 3.2 million viewers, and over a third of all kids watching cable in America, 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 ep aired in April, it didn't even make the top 15 cable programs for that week, due to the ongoing war in Iraq).
