26 Totally Underrated Early 2000's Shows

YTIMG.com

In no particular order, let's flip through the channels of cable television, before Hannah Montana and the Kardashians took over.

1. Kim Possible

Who could ever forget this iconic phrase?

2. The Amanda Show

Or this iconic phrase?

3. The Proud Family

When Penny and her girls gave you girl group goals

4. Teen Titans

Who misses when Teen Titans was drenched in teen angst?

5. That's So Raven

Old school Disney was so good at creating catch phrases

6. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

Let's not talk about The Suite Life on Deck.

7. Baby Looney Tunes

Because everything small is always more fun

8. The Fairly Odd Parents

Cosmo was like the cartoon version of Joey and Phoebe in Friends

9. Recess

#FriendsGoals

10. Rugrats

Nickelodeon prepared us for adulthood from way too young

11. Drake & Josh

They were always serving us classic moments like this.

12. Kids Next Door

They made us never want to grow up (but helped us accept changing from kids to annoying teens)

13. Lizzie McGuire

Who can forget when Lizzie transformed into an international pop star and got the most epic Roman holiday ever?

14. Code Lyoko

Probably one of the most underrated 2000s shows

15. Totally Spies

They were like the Charlie's Angels for kids

16. Total Drama Island

Cartoon Network fostering the millennial youth to love reality television.

17. Xiaolin Showdown

The best mix of fighting for justice and comedy

18. All That!

Literally SNL for kids. This seriously needs to make a comeback.

19. Digimon

We all wanted to go to the Digital World and have adventures

20. Yu-Gi-Oh i

We all knew that Yugi, transformed as the Pharaoh, would win with his heart of the cards.

22. Danny Phantom

Somehow even though Danny turned into a ghost, you could still relate to his teen troubles.

23. My Life as a Teenage Robot

Nickelodeon must have really had a thing for creating less-than-ordinary teens and making them have relatable teen problems.

24. 6teen

The show made you want to have a mundane part-time job at the mall

25. Samurai Jack

Nothing beats watching a samurai who has the ability to possibly defeat an almighty demon.

26. Unfabulous

Ah, baby Emma Roberts.

I would love to return to cable T.V. from the early 2000s, but I can't give up online Netflix. Netflix and Hulu just need to add these television shows to their repertoire and my life would be complete :D.

S/O to my friends that helped me assemble this list :D

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?
