What is the Kids' Choice Award for Favorite TV Show?

The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards are a fun event where kids get to pick their favorite things in movies, music, sports, and TV. The award for Favorite TV Show is one of the most popular categories. It celebrates the shows that kids enjoy the most.

Sometimes, the award category has been split into different groups. For example, from 2015 to 2017, and again since 2020, there were separate awards for "Kids" TV shows and "Family" TV shows. In 2019, the award was even split into "Funny" and "Drama" TV shows. This helps make sure all kinds of popular shows get a chance to win!
