Remembering Our Favorite Childhood TV Shows

Nostalgia at its finest.

Remembering Our Favorite Childhood TV Shows
Huffington Post

Most of us 18-20-somethings can agree that the television shows we grew up with and still love today are the greatest shows ever. Kids these days just don't get the quality entertainment that we did back in the 90s and early 2000s. Even if you didn't have major networks like Cartoon Network and Disney Channel growing up, you probably still heard about some of these shows.

1. Ed, Edd n Eddy

This show was about 3 kids who lived in the same cul-de-sac with the same name who spent much of their time coming up with crazy ideas to get money for jawbreakers. Most of the ideas were failures, but the shenanigans they got into with other supporting characters of the show were very entertaining to watch.

2. The Powerpuff Girls

Sugar, spice, and everything nice. This show is about 3 young super-powered crime fighters who were in bed by a reasonable hour for school the next day. Their "father" (who they call Professor) created them in a lab, accidentally adding "Chemical X", giving them their powers. The show originally ran from 1998-2005, but had a reboot in 2016 which many of the original fans do not like. There have been other run off series for PPG, including an anime that many people may not have heard of called Powerpuff Girls Z.

3. Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Captain Planet is a fantastic show about saving the environment. The theme song itself was enough to get you excited about the show, but also had many lessons in the show, as well as ways to get involved with keeping the environment clean. The "bad guys" of the show were people who would harm the environment in some way. The Planeteers would stop the polluter by combining their powers (contained in rings they wore) and summoning Captain Planet himself. At the end of each show, an animation of Captain Planet would show telling the viewers how they could help keep the planet clean. While the show may no longer be in production, it has a sister website that is up to date, and you can visit it here

4. Rugrats

This charming show is about 4 babies (and later another baby) and an older (but still young) cousin as they go through life trying to understand the world around them. Many of their misadventures of life are quite bizarre, but they still have a lot of fun.

5. SpongeBob SquarePants

While many of the shows that we loved from the 90s and early 2000s aren't in production any longer, SpongeBob SquarePants has been one of the longest running children's television shows, first airing in 1999. Over the years, SpongeBob's design has changed somewhat noticeably, but he is still the same old fry cook at The Krusty Krab. The show follows SpongeBob on his many adventures with his friends Patrick Star, Sandy the Squirrel, Squidward, and others. SpongeBob believes they are friends, but Squidward definitely thinks the opposite. SpongeBob SquarePants was popular enough to have a couple movies, with another set to be released in 2019.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
