The special was a pilot for the Rugrats spin-off series All Grown Up!, which chronicles the lives of the babies and their parents after they age up by 10 years. On July 21, 2001, Nickelodeon broadcast the made-for-TV special "All Growed Up" in celebration of the series' 10th anniversary. The final episode aired on August 1, 2004, bringing the series to a total of 172 episodes and nine seasons during a 13-year run, tying Rugrats with King of the Hill, American Dad!, Robot Chicken and Squidbillies as the eighth longest-running American animated television series.

From 1995 to 1996, the only new episodes broadcast were "A Rugrats Passover" and "A Rugrats Chanukah", two Jewish-themed episodes that received critical acclaim during this time, well after the end of the show's production run, Rugrats began to receive a boost in ratings and popularity, due to constant reruns on Nickelodeon.

The series premiered on Sunday, August 11, 1991, as the second Nicktoon after Doug and before The Ren & Stimpy Show.
