Being a 90s kid definitely has its perks. Great music, great toys, and not to mention that the early 2000s was definitely a great time for television, specifically cartoons! I remember there was always something for me to watch after what I considered was "long day" at school (remember how things were so much easier back then compared to now?). The amount of shows I could list on here is endless but I have to narrow it down to a few! Bear with me though, I can't remember much about these shows but I do recognize the characters at least! Now let's begin:
"The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron"
Just watching that made the nostalgia so real. I watched "Jimmy Neutron" everyday after school. The show only aired for four years but it was a good run. It was hard to not have at least one favorite character. I'm sure you've never met anyone who loves llamas as much as Carl does though! I especially loved when there was a crossover with "The Fairly Odd Parents"which brings me to my next show.
"The Fairly OddParents"
First off, this theme song is amazing. I was so shocked to hear that they have changed it! This is why we can't have good things. Anyways, after watching this show who wouldn't want fairly godparents?! Cosmo and Wanda are there for Timmy to grant every single one of his wishes. How cool is that?! I'm glad to see that this show is still on Nick but it's likely changed so much from when I watched it. I bet it's still great though.
"Catdog"
I feel this is probably the most underrated Nick cartoon by far! I loved it so much! Following the life of conjoined siblings who are cat and dog is just as interesting as it sounds!
"Rocket Power"
These kids made me want to do every sport known to man but look at me now I only play one sport haha! I especially wanted to learn how to skateboard but that never happened. The major take away from this show though is definitely the handshake (Woogity, Woogity, Woogity!).
"The Wild Thornberrys"
I would first like to point out that the voice of Eliza is Gretchen Wieners from "Mean Girls." Is your mind blown like mine was when I found out?! This show was great, a bit weird to look at but great. I loved the movie as well.
"Rugrats"
I think the "Rugrats" is probably the show that's the most clear in my memory. I suddenly remember all the episodes and the movies. This show is such a classic. I seriously miss it!
"The Proud Family"
Although the theme song for this show is amazing (I mean it's Destiny's Child feating Solange!), I had to post this dance battle. It was hands down the best part of "The Proud Family Movie"! The show itself is a gem and I recommend you find some way to watch it if you haven't. Also, it's the only Disney cartoon on my list but I swear I watched Disney cartoons too but Nick cartoons were the first that came to mind.
Well that concludes my list! There are so much more shows I wish I could have included like "Kim Possible," "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends," "Codename: Kids Next Door," "My Life as a Teenage Robot," and so much more! Like I said before, the early 2000s was a great time for cartoons! Can we bring all these shows back instead of the shows kids are watching now? Please and thanks.
