If You're A 90s Kid Who Didn't Have Cable Either, You Grew Up On These 13 Shows

Flickr

My family has never had cable so I didn't grow up watching Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon. Instead, I grew up watching old TV shows, like I Love Lucy and PBS Kids. Below is a list of the absolute best PBS Kids shows. Fun fact: If the show had a Halloween episode then it's my favorite.

1. Fetch With Ruff Ruffman

Fun fact: Nothing will ever top the Halloween episode where they were locked in the haunted mansion and had to solve the mystery. Also, I wanted nothing more than to be a contestant on the show.

2. Cyber Chase

Fun fact: Gilbert Gottfried is the voice of Digit, aka the bird from Cyber Chase, and is also the voice of Iago, aka the bird from Aladdin.

3. Electric Company

Fun fact: actor William Jackson Harper who plays Danny Rebus, one of the villains in this show, also plays Chidi Anagonye on a new hit TV show called The Good Place. Basically, I cannot see him as anyone but Danny and it's a bit of a problem.

4. Zoboomafoo

Fun Fact: basically everything I know about lemurs I learned from the Kratt brothers.

5. Wild Kratts

Fun fact: Remember Zoboomafoo? Remember the brothers? These are the same ones but in cartoon form and minus the monkey.

6. Arthur

Fun fact: "Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card" are words to live by.

7. Curious George

Fun fact: I really want to get a kitten and name it gnocchi.

8. Between The Lions

Fun fact: Cliiiiif Hanger! Hanging from a cliiiiiiff! And that's why he's called Cliff Hangeeerrr!

9. Dragon Tales

Fun fact: If you didn't start reciting "I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart" every time you found a pretty rock did you even have a childhood?

10. Maya and Miguel

Fun fact: Watching Maya and Miguel always made me hungry and I still don't know why.

11. Word Girl

Fun fact: This is the show that taught me my favorite word--tangent. Don't ask why it's my favorite because I honestly don't know.

12. Clifford the Big Red Dog

Fun fact: Have I ever steered you wrong?

13. Sesame Street

Fun fact: Oscar the Grouch was, and still is, my favorite

13 Thoughts College Students Have On The First Day Of Class

Syllabus week doesn't exist.

Hunter College

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1308

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

Washington College

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2642

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
