If you were like me as a kid, you were a bit of a dork. I played outside and hung out on jungle gyms, but there wasn't one week that I wasn't sitting in front of my TV ready for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays (CCF). I still get a pang of nostalgia anytime the mention of one of my favorite shows comes into conversation, and I remember that feeling that my week was over, and I could binge-watch cartoons until I passed out (which honestly isn't very different from what I do now as a college student).

So, I'd like to present you with a bit of nostalgia, and give you my definitive ranking of the best cartoons from my childhood.

10. "CatDog"

This was a weird show. Like, a WEIRD show. But once you stopped trying to figure out how this frankenstein monster uses the bathroom, it gets good. Besides, there was no other way to accurately describe how irritating your siblings could be at the time.

9. "Pokemon"

I'll be honest; I can't keep up with what's happening with "Pokemon" these days. It feels like every year, another household object of mine is turned into a new "Pokemon." But I could perform the "Pokemon" rap live at the Madison Square Garden if you needed me to, because the original show was the BOMB. Further proof that things were better in the 90s.

8. "The Powerpuff Girls"

Whether you're a girl or a guy, you loved the "Powerpuff Girls." They were the ultimate cartoon-superhero-badass trio that took down monsters in the blink of an eye, all the while balancing adopting a cat. Also, let's not forget that HIM is probably the creepiest super villain of all time.

7. "Dexter's Laboratory"

This show always confused me, because Dexter has an accent but neither of his parents did? Dexter may have been TV's first adopted cartoon character. But either way, having a huge lab in your house AND being able to breakdance with robots? This kid had it made.

6. "Rocket Power"

Does anybody remember how iconic the woogity was? I feel like the woogity was a gem we've lost to time. Teach your siblings how to woogity TODAY.

5. "Ed, Edd n Eddy"

This was the ultimate show about getting into shenanigans. Eddy was a preteen mafioso boss, and if you ever feel like you aren't reaping the rewards from your hard work in college, remember that it took him six seasons of business ventures to get one jawbreaker.

4. "Courage the Cowardly Dog"

This had to have been the scariest show you had ever watched in your life as a kid. When I was 10, scary movies were still a no-go for me; I could hardly make it through an episode of "Goosebumps" without hard-lining it out of the room. But for some reason, I could make it through this show. Thanks for making me a horror fan, Courage.

3. "Hey Arnold"

Another contender for dopest handshake of the 20th century, "Hey Arnold" was another show about a bunch of suburban kids getting into shenanigans. I think this show also wins the award for the most strangely shaped heads of all time. Why does Gerald's head go into his hair? What's up with that thing sticking up out of Grandpa Phil's head?

2. "Rugrats"

Tommy is the original OG. While you were struggling through puberty on your way to marginal-coolness, Tommy was kicking it with a juice box and a screwdriver. The only thing keeping this show from the number one spot is the awful remake.

1. "Spongebob Squarepants"

Spongebob was the first cartoon that my parents and I could both watch together. I learned about minimum wage jobs, driving school, saving money; honestly, Spongebob taught me all the things that college never did. But most importantly, it taught me that messing with Texas is not to be taken lightly.
