Disney Channel was a big part of my childhood. I watched it often on Saturday mornings and with my older sister after school. No other channel's content was as hilarious and meaningful as Disney Channel's. I learned life lessons from talking otters to boys that lived in a hotel. No matter the Disney Channel show, it was bound to be great, but the shows below are the ones that I will remember for a long time.
Early Childhood:
1. "Bear in the Big Blue House"
This show used to be on at 5 AM and sometimes when I was little, I would purposely wake up that early just to watch it. Sorry, Mom.
2. "Madeline"
3. "Out of the Box"
This show made me want to build a house out of boxes, but mine never turned out as cool at theirs.
4. "Rolie Polie Olie"
What is cuter than a family of robots? Nothing.
5. "PB&J Otter"
Early Elementary School:
6. "Even Stevens"
7. "The Proud Family"
8. "Lizzie McGuire"
Lizzie McGuire was my role model, and I wouldn't mind having a cartoon character of myself to give me advice!
9. "Kim Possible"
Kim Possible is cooler than me, and I accept that.
10. "Lilo and Stitch: The Series"
I remember being so happy that there was going to be a TV show after the movie premiered!
Mid-Elementary School:
11. "That's So Raven"
I loved this crazy family.
12. "Phil of the Future"
13. "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"
Boys that lived in a hotel. No further explanation is needed.
14. "Hannah Montana"
This was definitely the greatest Disney Channel show. Girl by day, pop sensation by night; she really did have the "Best of Both Worlds."
Late Elementary School:
15. "Cory in the House"
The era of spin-offs began with this show. It was a really cool concept, but I always found myself missing Raven.
16. "Phineas and Ferb"
"There's 104 days of summer vacation..."
17. "Wizards of Waverly Place"
If this show was still on, I would probably still watch it.
18. "The Suite Life on Deck"
This was another spin-off, and by this point, Zack and Cody were in high school. It was strange but I loved it.
