learn to navigate the social strata of junior high". The potential for more sophisticated storytelling was one of the factors in the creation of the series. The show's creators thought that "pushing the show to the next age bracket" would be an effective way of "holding on to viewers who have grown up with Rugrats". Daily stated: "I'm definitely going to miss doing [baby Tommy], but it's awesome watching people grow." Other proposed spin-offs At the Television Critics Association tour in July 2001, Nickelodeon executives mentioned that "All Growed Up" was one of three spinoff concepts proposed by Nickelodeon to continue the successful Rugrats franchise. In 2002, Nickelodeon aired the episode "Pre-School Daze", the pilot for a series in which Angelica and Susie attend preschool. According to Variety in September 2002, the show was to be repurposed as a series of four standalone specials. The program aired in the UK in 2005. The North American debut took place in late 2008 after the cancellation of the series. Another proposed spinoff was a series featuring Susie and the Carmichael family, who would move from California to Atlanta, Georgia; it was first proposed for the 1999–2000 television season, but Nickelodeon and Klasky-Csupo decided instead to concentrate on all the original-aged Rugrats. The Kwanzaa special, which aired in 2001, served as a pilot for this new series, but the series would have contradicted the established continuity. In the thirteenth episode of All Grown Up!, "Lucky 13", Angelica becomes a teenager. When asked if the popularity of that episode would produce a spinoff as the characters enter teendom, Nickelodeon executives explained: "It has been talked about but said the network had no immediate plans to push the entire cast into puberty", though noted that those connected with the franchise were "eager to continue developing the characters". The show was preceded by a six-hour marathon of Angelica-centered episodes of Rugrats and All Grown Up!. Angelica's voice actor Cheryl Chase expressed a desire to take part in any spin-off of Rugrats, from Angelica Goes to College to Rugrats in the Nursing Home. In 2003, Cohn proposed that Rugrats characters' play the leads in classic fairy tales for Nickelodeon.
