On April 13th, 1995, the "Rugrats" episode, "A Rugrats Passover" premiered on Nickelodeon! The episode serves as the 65th episode of the series, and is notable for being the first episode of an animated cartoon to depict a Jewish holiday on television. The episode scored at 3.1 Nielsen Rating during its initial broadcast, making it the highest-rated show in Nickelodeon's history. The episode was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award, an Annie Award, and a CableACE Award. The episode's success led to "A Rugrats Chanukkah" in 1996, although both episodes faced public controversy when the Anti-Defamation League compared the artistic design of the older Jewish characters to anti-Semetic drawings from 1930s Nazi Germany.
