10 Childhood Shows That Deserve A Spinoff
The Daily Dot

Last week, Raven-Symoné announced on "The View" that she was working with Disney to create a "That's So Raven" spinoff. The spinoff would star Raven as a divorced, single mother of two, one of whom has inherited the ability to see visions. Currently, the show is casting, and fans of the original show are super hype.

This isn't the first show to create a spinoff. "Rugrats" had a spinoff series in "All Grown Up." Recently, "Full House" created a Netflix original "Fuller House," and "Boy Meets World" created a Disney show "Girl Meets World." While all of these are shows that I loved in my childhood, we might as well keep the spinoff train rolling. Realistically, spinoffs aren't usually as hot as the original, however in a perfect world, these are shows that I would love to see a spinoff of.

1. "A Different World."

Truthfully, "A Different World" was on television before I was ever even thought of. However, thanks to re-runs and Netflix, I've been able to experience the gift that is "A Different World". How awesome would it be if Whitley and Dwayne's daughter started her Hillman journey, and we got to fall in love with the ficitional HBCU and its students all over again? All in favor, say eye!

2. "The Proud Family."

This was one of my favorite shows growing up. It was a diverse cartoon that was funny and relatable for people of all ages. There could be a possible BeeBee and CeeCee spinoff, or maybe life after Penny went to college. Either way, if there is a "Proud Family" spinoff, I will watch it.

3. "Kim Possible."

Another Disney classic. I'd love a spinoff about Ron Stoppable and Kim Possible's child, because come on, we know that they got married.

4. "Sister, Sister."

This is a classic. Honestly, I'm not sure which route the spinoff would take, but I guarantee I would watch it. Bring back "Go Home, Roger" lol.

5. "As Told By Ginger."

I loved this cartoon so much. I loved the fact that they actually changed clothes on a cartoon and it was so relatable to my pre-teen life. I'd love to see where these characters went next.

6. "All That."

Of course this wouldn't be a spinoff as much as it is a revival of the show. Often compared to a "Saturday Night Live" for Nickelodeon's viewers, I believe that the youth of today should experience this entertainment gold.

7. "Family Matters."

Steve Urkel is an American Treasure and he truly hijacked this show, lol. I'd like to see where his and Laura's relationship ended up.

8. "The Parkers."

Okay, look, I love this show and still watch it all these years later. I don't care what the spinoff route is, if Mo'Nique and Countess Vaughn are on it, it will be hilarious. (RIP Andell - Yvette Wilson).

9. "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

I own every season of "The Fresh Prince," and truthfully, a spinoff is highly unlikely, but Will Smith has been putting his son Jayden on in the acting world. Y'all need to come up with a spinoff staring him, lol.

10. "Lizzie McGuire."


My girl Lizzie. I owned every Game Boy version of this game as well as any book, poster, or "Lizzie McGuire" merchandise. Now, in my 20's, best believe, I will faithfully tune in to a spinoff. I even have the "Lizzie McGuire" movie on VHS (that's how much of a dedicated fan I was). What happened with Lizzie and Gordo? The fans (me) need to know!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
