Trivia: What was the premise of the first episode of “Rugrats”?
The Rugrats go to Paris
Tommy’s first birthday
Cynthia gets lost
The Rugrats turn into adults
The correct answer is Tommy’s first birthday
So why is this answer correct? : Though “Tommy’s First Birthday” is the first aired episode of the Nickelodeon hit show “Rugrats,” the official pilot is actually an unaired episode titled “Tommy Pickles and the Great White Thing.” (The episode later became available on a 2002 “Rugrats” compilation DVD, “Decade in Diapers.”) In the 1991 birthday episode, Tommy wears a red shirt instead of his signature powder-blue shirt, along with overalls instead of his usual diaper. “Rugrats” remains the second-longest-running show on Nickelodeon, behind “Spongebob Squarepants.”
