We all have shows that give us an overwhelming amount of nostalgia. But when I talk about my favorite childhood shows, no one seems to remember them. A few of my favorite shows have low ratings or a small audience, but most were extremely popular in their prime. Although, I am young and my childhood wasn't that long ago, I still have a right to be nostalgic. Here are 15 of my favorite childhood shows that seem to have been forgotten. Either these shows have low ratings, are barely talked about or just unknown. During the duration of writing this, I kept finding more and more shows, but I had to retain myself from putting like 100. Do you remember any of these? Are there any shows that you enjoyed that no one else knows?
15. American Dragon: Jake Long
Jake was shape-shifting into a dragon on Disney Channel from 2005-2007. The whole point of the show is to witness his journey to becoming the first American Dragon.
14. Legends of the Hidden Temple
From 1993 to 1995, a huge face made of stone talked to children. Children were contestants and competed to retrieve historical artifacts based on one of the legends told. This show was one of the reasons why I became interested in history and Mayans. Even though the year I was born they were only showing reruns, I always hoped to be on this show. Our nostalgia can now be settled because there is now a movie being released November 2016!!!! And I have a Blue Barracudas shirt!!!
13. Jay Jay the Jet Plane
This show was pretty much "Thomas the Train Engine," but with aircraft. Running from 1998 to 2005, Jay Jay and his friends flew across six different television networks. But, now that I am looking at this show again, it was pretty creepy. The faces are pretty realistic.
12. Unfabulous
Addie Singer was playing her guitar and trying hard to fit in from 2004-2007. This show was pretty popular and is remembered quite a bit. But, I think people neglect to appreciate how great this show actually was. I personally believe it was in the same level as Zoey 101.
11. ChalkZone
"ChalkZone," was also very popular during its air time in the early 2000's. It has a low rating on IMDB despite having a strong viewing. This is on many nostalgic posts but, people still fail to remember the show when having a conversation.
10. Mr. Meaty
This wacky show lasted from 2005-2009. I constantly quote this show because it was absolutely hilarious! It is one of the only shows on Nickelodeon to actually use puppets. It was so ridiculous, but executed the so well.
9. Tak and the Power of Juju
"Tak and the Power of Juju" was released as a video game in 2003, but it did so well it released as a TV show in 2007.
8. Dave the Barbarian
Dave was a barbarian (obviously); he appeared to be very masculine, but was actually quite cowardly. This show lasted only one year (2004-2005) and aired reruns until 2009.
7. Xiaolin Showdown
This martial arts show aired on Kids' WB from 2003-2006. There is was even a spin-off called Xiaolin Chronicals that only lasted for one season.
6. Planet Sheen
This "Jimmy Neutron" spin-off lasted from 2010-2013. Even though it is rated 3.4/10 on imdb, I completely loved this show. Sheen takes Jimmy's rocket and lands on the planet, Zeenu. The show is based around Sheen's efforts to return, which is light years away.
5. Stanley
Stanley and his pets journeyed in their "Great Big Book of Everything" from 2001-2004. Although, the show only lasted 3 years, episodes were constantly being aired on Playhouse Disney. I even named my goldfish after the protagonist's: Stanley and Dennis.
4. Kids Nation
Think of this show as "Survivor" for kids. The contestants on the show were ranged from eight to fifteen. I always wanted to be on "Survivor," but I was too young. So, when this aired, it gave me hope. But now I look at it like "Lord of the Flies," which is probably why it only lasted one season.
3. Mighty B
I connected to this show because I wanted to be a Girl Scout and I am a little quirky. With a rating of only 5.5/10 on IMDB it aired from 2008-2011.
2. The Koala Brothers
Who doesn't love koalas? And koalas who are aviators?! Nothing can get any better! This show lasted on Playhouse Disney from 2003-2007. It had a "Bob the Builder" and "JoJo's Circus" feel to it. Which, were also two of my all time favorite shows.
1. Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
This American-Japanese show was based on the J-pop duo Puffy AmiYumi. The shows revolves around two best friends who travel the world on tour. It seems like no one really talks about this show anywhere but it was great. I even had tiny dolls of them and would play with them quite often!
