The centerfold was a colorful double-page spread celebrating the success of "Rugrats," marking over a decade since the mischievous toddlers first hit our screens.

Not only did the magazine cover the shows and their stars, but it also provided a sneak peek into the upcoming Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, listing all the nominees and making predictions on who might win those coveted orange blimps. There were fun quizzes, polls, and even a fold-out poster of everyone’s favorite fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda from "The Fairly OddParents." The comic strip section featured a hilarious storyboard of "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius," giving fans a taste of the humor they could expect from the show’s new episodes. This issue also wasn't short on the usual zany Nickelodeon humor and activities; it included prank ideas, DIY crafts, and recipes for making slime at home, much to the readers’ delight.

The magazine showed a keen sense of awareness of its audience with a special section addressing school life and friendship issues, giving young readers advice in a language they understood and could relate to. The letter section was filled with fan mail, questions to the editors, and artwork inspired by Nickelodeon’s beloved characters.
