Growing up, I remember being exposed to some pretty amazing TV shows. While a lot of the shows were on PBS due to my family not having cable, I made sure to watch Disney as Nickelodeon as much as possible. It would be way too hard to rank these shows in order, but I can say with certainty that these were my go-to shows.

1. Caillou

I couldn't care less what anyone has to say about this gem, but Caillou was probably my favorite show when I was between the ages of 4 and 5. Every morning before Kindergarten my mom and I would put this on, and it was always a good time.

2. Dragon Tales

Dragon Tales was another show that was a morning favorite of mine. I loved Cassie the most, and I thought it was awesome that the show featured two Hispanic children. I was pretty devastated that I too couldn't wish on a dragon scale and be transported to Dragonland.

3. Mr. Rogers Neighborhood

OK, this show still makes me happy to this day if I'm being honest because Fred Rogers was just such a kind and pure person. Not to mention, the song that he sings at the end of every episode still gives me the feels every time.

4. Rugrats

Now, this is one show that was only available to me if I was somewhere with cable, but I never will forget it. I had one VCR tape that had two episodes on it, and that was always playing at my house. The person that created this show was a pure genius.

5. Arthur

Now Arthur was the show that I ran home from the bus stop every day after school to watch. My favorite episode was hands down the one when there is a fire at their school. I was on the edge of my seat for those whole 30 minutes. When Arthur memes circled around about a year ago, I was having the time of my life sending them to everyone.

6. Hannah Montana

Once I got older, Hannah Montana was everything to me. I remember being so extra that I got clothes from the Hannah Montana clothing line, and don't even get me started on the episode where she had to choose between Jake and Jesse. 10 year old me would have killed to have that Hannah closet.

7. Wizards of Waverly Place

This was also one of my favorites as I got older. Selena Gomez was so cool to me; I would have done anything to be like her. You can't even deny that the theme song is still a bop to this day.

8. Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat

For a while, I was CONVINCED that I made this tv show up or had a dream about it, but Sagwa was definitely a favorite of mine because of the Siamese cats. I was watching this show when I was around 4, and that was also around the time when we got our Siamese cat, Ruben.

So in conclusion, thank you PBS, Nickelodeon, and Disney Channel for providing me with some pretty great television shows.
