The other day I was sitting with a couple of friends and we started reminiscing about shows we used to watch during the MUCH simpler times of our lives. From weekend cartoons to after school television programs, that part of our childhood development was clutch. I wish they would either have re-runs on of some of those shows or decide to upload them to Netflix so that we could transport back in time to have a laugh or experience ourselves as little kiddos again.
Here I have scrounged together a handful of TV shows that have really stuck with me and I have found myself craving to watch. Let me know if any of these hit home or if I have missed any that you loved!
Chalkzone
Boy, did I wish I was friends With Rudy Tabootie. Rudy's magical piece of chalk would transport him to Chalkzone, a place where everything drawn with the chalk and then erased would become real. Mr. Tabootie, you are too cool.
Totally Spies!
Sam, Alex, and Clover- the secret agents that we don't deserve! Working for WOOHP (the World Organization of Human Protection) and its leader Jerry, these agents kicked butt.
Dragon Tales
"I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart." Max and Emmy would sing this rhyme to their enchanted dragon scale (which I always thought was a fancy lookin' stone.. but I am mistaken) and be suddenly off to Dragon Land with Ord, Cassie, Zak and Wheezie. What a squad.
Rocket Power
I think we should all take a vacation to Ocean Shores, hit up the Shore Shack and catch some air with Otto and Reggie. This kids were living the dream. Reggie's camo pants along with Sam's shark helmet gave me life.
Hey Arnold!
This show. The best. Remember the episode where that really cool kid made friends with Arnold simply because of his football shaped head? So that he could fit through that rectangular window of the electronic store to steal? Killed me. Also, still need to learn Arnold and Gerald's handshake...
Bear in the Big Blue House
So cute. Each of these characters had my heart. Ojo the bear cub and Tutter the mouse were the cutest. The computer game based on the show was also the place to be!
Codename: Kids Next Door
Kids Next Door, Sector V here to save the world. Numbuh's One, Two, Three, Four, and Five fighting crime against kids such as homework and flossing. Nothing scared me more than The Delightful Children from Down the Lane. So creepy.
Camp Lazlo
An optimistic spider monkey named Lazlo, and Indian elephant named Raj, and an albino pygmy rhino named Clam at Camp Kidney, what more do you need? This show was hysterical.
Teen Titans
Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy- bless. Ya know, screw this new Teen Titans Go crap. The older version is CHOICE! I wonder if they'd be game for accepting a 5th member?
Stanley
THIS WAS MY SHOW! When I was little, I made my own Great Big Book of Everything, just like Stanley's. The bond he had with his pets was incredible. This show needs to come back or re-runs must be played. It is too good for kids these days not to know what is it.
