There is absolutely nothing millennials love more than a good throwback! Whether it be obsessively watching "Friends" or wearing a choker with every outfit, the 90's and early 00's are back, and our generation just can't get enough of it. So, without further a do, here are some of the shows I watched religiously as a child, and you probably did, too.
1. "Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood" (1968-2001)
Despite his weird sweater fetish, Mister Rogers was a sweet old man who would actually probably make an awesome neighbor. This show was a classic.
2. "Reading Rainbow" (1983-2006)
Not sure what kind of magic he used, but somehow LeVar Burton used to get me pumped about reading. Educational TV at its finest.
3. "Zoboomafoo" (1991-2001)
Never have I wanted to own a pet lemur more than after watching this show, plus the theme song used to get me hyped.
4. "Rugrat"s (1991-2004)
The babies from "Rugrats" were literally always scheming. Also, I don't care if Angelica is a fictional character, she's still scary.
5. "The Big Comfy Couch" (1992-2006)
This show was a combination of creepy and entertaining. Anyone else remember the dust bunnies and Loonette's "Clock Rug Stretch"?
6. "Wishbone" (1995-2001)
When you're five, nothing's cooler than a dog who dresses up in crazy costumes and travels through time, plus Wishbone's freaking adorable.
7. "Arthur" (1996-2014)
Maybe it was just the fact that I thought of my older brother as Arthur and me as sassy little D.W., but this show was highly relatable.
8. "Recess" (1997-2001)
I wish I could've gotten away with half the mischief that this gang did. They put recess at my school to shame.
9. "Caillou" (1997-2010)
Caillou was actually a super whiney and annoying kid, but I was, too, so that's probably why I enjoyed the show so much.
10. "The Wild Thornberrys" (1998-2003)
I always wanted my family to rent a giant camper and go on endless safaris like the Thornberrys. Unfortunately, I think I was the only one convinced it was a good idea.
11. "Rocket Power" (1999-2004)
Wanting a skateboard for Christmas can definitely be attributed to my love for "Rocket Power." Unfortunately, I was never even as good as Squid.
12. "Dragon Tales" (1999-2005)
These siblings had way too many awesome adventures. Still waiting on my magical dragon scale to transport me to a fantasy land.
The kids on "Zoom" were always doing sweet experiments and playing new games. RIP my dream to be on this show.
I'm not sure how Clifford got so freakishly large or how the Howards didn't go broke trying to feed him, but either way, he was a pretty cool dog.
15. "Between the Lions" (2000-2010)
Most kid's shows have a way of manipulating you into learning, and this is a prime example. Just like "Reading Rainbow," "Between the Lions" made reading fun.
Well, there you have it, your dosage of "throwback" for the day. Each of these shows was a staple in my childhood, and I'm sure you've watched some or all of them as a kid, too. Cue the memories!
