The pilot episode of Cory in the House aired on January 12, 2007. Victor Baxter accepts a job as the chef of the President. Cory and his dad move into the White House, while Tanya is in England and Raven is in college. Cory in the House eased the pain of having to say goodbye to That's So Raven.
2. Zoey 101: "Zoey's Balloon"

3. The Suite Life of Zach and Cody: "The Suite Life Goes Hollywood" (Part 1 & 2)
Air date: April 20, 2007
In this episode, Zach, Cody, and the rest of the crew travels to Hollywood after a director has an idea of starting a television series based of the twins' lives at the Tipton. Unfortunately, Zach and Cody are fired, and their chances of becoming television stars are ruined.
4. Hannah Montana "Achy Jakey Heart" (Part 1 & 2)
Air date: June 24, 2007
Remember when Jake fell out of the sky and asked Miley to take him back after he kissed her then left for 6 months? She later revealed her secret to him, and the two attempted to date but (sadly) it never worked out.
5. Drake & Josh: "Really Big Shrimp" (Part 1 & 2)
Air date: August 3, 2007
"Really Big Shrimp" is the dramatic two part episode where Josh, mesmerized by "really big shrimp," signs a contract releasing creativity rights to Drake's song "Makes Me Happy." Though it wasn't the last episode to air, it's the series finale of Drake and Josh, probably one of the greatest shows ever created.
6. Phineas and Ferb: "Rollercoaster"
Air Date: August 17, 2007
On August 17, 2017, it'll be 3,653 days (or 10 years) since day one of 104 days of Phineas and Ferb's summer vacation. In this episode, the boys construct a rollercoaster, and Candace begins her never-ending attempt to bust her brothers.
7. iCarly: "iPilot"
Air Date: September 8, 2007
Several months after Drake and Josh ended, we got to see Miranda Cosgrove go from being Megan to starring as Carly. In the pilot episode, Carly, Sam, and Freddie, come up with the idea for iCarly.
8. Wizards of Waverly Place: "Crazy 10-Minute Sale"
Air Date: October 12, 2007
The pilot episode of Wizards of Waverly Place also aired in 2007. In this episode, Alex uses magic to clone herself so that she can go to the 10 minute sale at her favorite store, while her clone attends her wizard class.
9. That's So Raven: "Where There is Smoke"
Air Date: November 10, 2007
In this episode, Raven suspects that Cory has started smoking. There was nothing special or remarkable about this episode, but it just so happens that it was the series finale. So yes, on November 10, 2017, it will have been 10 years since a new That's So Raven episode was released.
10. SpongeBob SquarePants: "Atlantis Squarepantis"
Air date: November 12, 2007
It's hard to believe that it's already 10 years since Nickelodeon excessively advertised the episode where SpongeBob and friends take a trip to the lost city of Atlantis. I don't know about you, but I remember being very disappointed with this episode.
