What shows do you remember watching growing up? I'm sure a majority of people will remember shows like Rugrats, Doug, Lizzie McGuire, or Powerpuff Girls. The mainstream shows from stations like Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, or Cartoon Network. I grew up watching the same stations and loving shows like Catdog, Ahhh! Real Monsters, and Rocket Power. I also grew up watching stations like PBS and Discovery Kids. This list that I've compiled are shows that I loved from PBS and Discovery Kids. These are the shows that many haven't heard of or have forgotten.

Many episodes consisted of Wishbone portraying characters like Robin Hood, Sherlock Holmes, and Hercules.

Kenny was a tiger shark that decided to move out of the ocean, where he became a family pet. In that family, there was a ten year old girl named Kat who he was best friends with. Kenny struggled with having to act against his instinct or he would have been sent back to the ocean.

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

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.
