I believe we all have come down to the conclusion that TV today is not what it once was. Have you ever just sat down and tried to watch what is on Disney channel, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon today? I know it can't just be me that thinks the quality of shows for young children has terribly gone down the drain. I promise I have tried to sit down and watch the new ones, you know, to maybe give them a chance. In all honesty, they are nothing compared to the cartoons and shows that were on the air in the '90s or 2000s. The old shows parents could even sit down and watch without cringing but these new ones... no thanks. Here are 26 cartoons from our childhood that we all know we secretly miss...
1. Rugrats (1990-2006)
My favorite and many other's favorite as well. I still mourn the loss of the Rugrats. Who wouldn't want to go on an adventure with Tommy Pickles and the gang?
2. The Wild Thornberrys (1998-2004)
A monkey that acts like a human and a kid that acts like a monkey? YASSS!!!
3. Rocket Power (1999-2004)
They used to make us want to catch a wave.
4. CatDog (1998-2005)
Half cat? Half dog? Complete opposites? That's all that needs to be said.
5. Angry Beavers (1997-2001)
If we all had tails we would be doing the "Beaver Slap" because of this show.
6. Cow and Chicken (1995-2004)
A cow and a chicken? What a lovely duo.
7. Rocko's Modern Life (1993-1996)
Full of laughs and even had hidden messages so that parents could get a laugh too... It was one of my favorites.
8. Aaahh!!! Real Monsters (1994-1997)
Our experience with friendly, goofy monsters. Not all things creeping through the dark are so bad...
9. The Magic School Bus (1994-1997)
Everyone wanted to take a ride with "The Frizz."
10. Hey Arnold (1996-2004)
Remember Helga's bubble gum sculpture?
11. Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999-2002)
I loved going on Courage's little adventures through different worlds and odd characters.
12. The "Original" Teen Titans (2003-2007)
Unfortunately, they now have a new Teen Titans, and it is nothing like the original... why not bring this one back?
13. Johnny Bravo (1997-2004)
Johnny Bravo taught kids to always make sure they look good... He even carried around a mirror.
14. Dexter's Laboratory (1996-2003)
Ohhh little Dexter... how could anyone forget you?
15. Powerpuff Girls (1998-2005)
They now have a new Powerpuff Girls, too bad today's generation doesn't get to experience the originals..
16. Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy (1999-2009)
I believe this picture explains it all... Even my dad liked this one.
17. Pinky and the Brain (1995-1998)
Their arguments went on and on like their exercise wheel.
18. The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy (2001-2007)
A children's show that includes the Grim Reaper? Why not.
19. Recess (1997-2001)
If only parents knew what all went down on the playground...
20. Invader Zim (2001-2003)
We all love something a little wacky every once and awhile.
21. As Told by Ginger (2000-2004)
Struggles of teenage life through the eyes of one goofy cartoon character? Don't mind if I do.
22. Franklin (1997-2003)
We used to all go to Franklin's house, but we can't anymore. *sad face*
23. Arthur (1996- )
It has changed. You couldn't help but love Arthur's little sister with her amazing amount of sarcasm she always had...
24. The Original Tom and Jerry (1940-1958)
Although they began and ended before our time, they were the best of all the Tom and Jerry's and they were still on the air. We had the opportunity to watch the same ones as our parents did.
25. Duck Tales (1987-1990)
Who doesn't like adventures with a group of ducks?
26. The Looney Tunes (1930-1969)
Even though this is the date for the old episodes, there are now a lot of new one's too which you most likely saw as well.
I know, I know you just majorly went back in time. Growing up with these shows makes it hard to sit down with kids now and watch TV. Like I said before, they are totally different. These shows were fun for everyone and they will be terribly missed.
