Everyone watched kids' programming when they were growing up. Whether it was Disney Channel, Nickelodeon or the late Fox Kids, these networks were unavoidable when you were a kid. Most of us eventually outgrew them, but maybe we shouldn't have. Re-watching these shows after all these years is actually more fun than when they were on air. Here are six awesome shows that deserve a second look.
6. Power Rangers
"Power Rangers" is one of those juggernauts that is unavoidable. Kids went crazy for it back in the day, and adults still go crazy for it today. The show featured thousands of fight scenes, one liners and different Rangers for every genre that it practically had something for everyone. And with a new movie in the works, it's only fitting that the staple of so many children's Saturday mornings should be revisited. Especially now that all 20 seasons are on DVD.
5. Phil of the Future
Arguably one of the best shows to come out of the Disney Channel, this gem kickstarted the careers of Aly Michalka and Evan Peters and impressed kids week after week with its cool future gadgets we still wish we had. Plus, it takes guts for a kids show to make a "Fight Club" reference.
4. All That
When kids shows take on sketch comedy, all bets are off. "All That" was the pinnacle of kid-friendly humor, with its wacky sketches and memorable catchphrases, one of which spawned a movie called "Good Burger." Not to mention that cast member Kenan Thompson is now a "Saturday Night Live" regular. Put that on a cracker!
3. SpongeBob SquarePants
This Nickelodeon classic pushed the boundaries of kid friendly antics and adult in-jokes and made it look easy. Though the quality of the newer seasons has noticeably declined, the first three seasons are still enjoyable and laugh out loud worthy to this day.
2. Teen Titans
This superhero cartoon has recently been revived as a more kiddy version, but for those who prefer the classics, this 2003 show still holds up to this day with its epic action, memorable characters and funny jokes. Saturday morning is not complete without superheroes and this show has five. Beat that!
1. Even Stevens
Good luck trying to find DVDs of this classic show, but it still holds up as one of Disney Channel's best, if not THE best. The first acting role for Shia LaBeouf, this show chronicling the trials and tribulations of the Stevens family was funny then and is still funny now. Now if only Disney could put out the whole show on DVD. Say, who wants to sign my petition?
