There are some many shows from my childhood that I want to watch, but re runs just don't do any justice. Here is a list of shows that need to make a comeback on television! Prepare to feel nostalgic.
1. As Told By Ginger
Aired on Nickelodeon in 2000, the series followed our main character Ginger, who faces the day to day struggles of being a teenager. The thing that I found so cool about the show is that they would dress every single character in different outfits every single episode.
2. Danny Phantom
Yo, Danny Fenton, he was just fourteen
when his parents built a very strange machine
It was designed to view a world unseen
(He's gonna catch 'em all cause he is Danny Phantom)
When it didn't quite work, his folks they just quit
Then Danny took a look inside of it
There was a great big flash, everything just changed
His molecules got all rearranged
(Phantom, phantom)
When he first woke up he realized
He had snow white hair and glowing green eyes
He could walk through walls disappear and fly
He was much more unique than the other guys
It was then that he knew what he had to do
He had to stop all the ghosts that were coming through
He's here to fight for me and you!
He's gonna catch 'em all cause he is Danny Phantom
Gonna catch 'em all cause he is Danny Phantom
Gonna catch 'em all cause he's (Danny Phantom)
Yes I included the whole entire rap theme song (and don't lie you guys were probably rapping while reading this), If the theme song wasn't self explanatory enough, the show was about a boy named Danny. Due to a freak accident he becomes half ghost, and fights ghosts that come through his parent's machine. The show unfortunately ended in 2007.
3. Chalkzone
The premise of the show follows a young boy named Rudy. Rudy has this magic chalk that allows him to go to new worlds. Anything that Rudy draws comes to life. Throughout this show we followed Rudy go on crazy adventures with his friends Penny and Snap, by his side. The show first premiered on Nickelodeon in 2002, and ended in 2008.
4. Static Shock
Superhero, Static Shock, behind the costume, was just a regular high school kid named Virgil. At the wrong place at the wrong time he is exposed to a gas that left him with electrical super powers. Something that I never noticed as much as a kid, is the show would sometimes have underlining history lessons. They had an episode of Dakota City gang riots.
5. American Dragon: Jake Long
In this Disney series our protagonist, Jake, was low key a dragon! Jake had the ability to transform into a dragon, and uses his ability to protect the city of Manhattan from other evil magical creatures that roam. A memory that sticks out to me of this series, is the the fact that Rose, Jake's school's crush, was a dragon slayer. Neither of them knew of each other's secrets, the anticipation was real! Jake could also rap, I remember a couple of episodes where he was in rap battles, which were very funny.
6. Codename: Kids Next Door
The show aired on Cartoon Network, and it followed the characters Nigel aka Numbah One, Hogarth aka Numbah Two, Kuki aka Numbah Three, Wallabee aka Numbah Four and Abigail aka Number Five (my fave). The kids would operate their missions to take down evil adults in a high tech tree house. If you remeber the show really well, you would remember the Delightful Children from Down the Lane. They were brothers and sisters who would talk all at the same time, those characters scared me so much as a kid.
7. The Proud Family
This show was a hoot, it followed Penny Proud, a teenage girl going through crazy adventures in life. The show had so many outragoues characters like Penny's dad, Oscar, Suga Mama, LaCienega (and her huge feet), Dijonay, Sticky, Zoey, and that is just naming a few. The thing that made me mad is that we never got to see Wizard Kelly's face. But Al Roker always made an appearance.
8. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy
This show has to be one of the most twisted cartoons ever made. The show is centered around Billy and Mandy, who basically have the Grim Reaper in their capitivy. Due to them finding out that Grim cheated in a game of limbo. They use the Grim Reaper's powers to go to supernatural places, where they meet an array of diffrent creatures, such as Fred FredBurger. The show was werid but you couldn't stop watching it, it aired from 2001 to 2007.
9. The Weekenders
The show aired on Toon Disney,and was about four best frieds: Tino, Carver, Tish, and Lor. The premise of the show was basically for the friends to have the best weekend ever. Just like As told By Ginger the characters outfits would change each episode.
10. Teen Titans
Don't even say that they brought this show back because they didn't. Teen Titans Go is not even close to how lit Teen Titans was. Robin, Beast Boy, Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg team together to fight enemies to keep planet Earth safe. This show inspired me to draw as a kid, and I connected with the chracter Raven on such a personal level.
Anyway, I am about to make a petition to get these shows back on the air with new episodes. Stay tuned, friends.
