14 Throwback TV Shows We ALL Wish Were On Netflix Or Hulu

Growing up in the early 2000s, Nickelodeon and Disney had some of the best television shows out there. Now that I'm in my 20s and Hulu and Netflix have come to be my main source of television, I find myself longing for those throwback shows we all used to know and love. It may seem like it's a lot to ask, but I'm sure if you took a poll of kids growing up in the early 2000s if they'd be more likely to invest in either streaming company if they added these shows they'd wholeheartedly agree.

1. "Kim Possible"

Giphy

As kids, we all wanted to kick butt just like Kim Possible and have a trusted best friend sidekick like Ron Stoppable.

2. "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"

Giphy

Who didn't want to live in a hotel and run around and have fun like Zack and Cody did when they were growing up? Even if that meant having Mr. Mosby running around always yelling at you trying to kill your vibe.

3. "That's So Raven"

Giphy

Being able to see into the future? Yes, please! Even if that means that sometimes the visions we get lead to all kinds of disasters and mayhem.

4. "Hannah Montana"

Giphy

Ordinary girl by day and pop star by night, sign me up! Whether she was Miley or Hannah, sweet nibblits did Miley Stewart and her friends know how to have a good time.

5. "Jonas"

Giphy

Three famous singing brothers all under one roof trying to live a normal life what could possibly go wrong? Honestly though, this show brought a fun twist to high school and made us all wish we went to high school with the JoBros.

6. "Emperor's New School"

Giphy

The movie spinoff version of this show can be found on Hulu, but that just isn't enough Kuzco to satiate our childhood obsessions.

7. "Wizard's of Waverly Places"

Giphy

If you didn't know all the words and dance to the funky hat song as a kid were you even cool? The Russo siblings had us all wishing we'd grown up with magical powers and all the obstacles that come along with trying to be normal teens with powers.

8. "The Wild Thornberry's"

Giphy

The original Irwin family? Probably so, but that didn't stop us from all wanting to go out in the wild and exploring it all had to offer us with our family.

9. "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide"

Giphy

There's no better show out there to show kids how to navigate middle school in the most absurd of ways. While it wasn't fully realistic, it made my experience in middle school that much more worth it at the end of the day.

10. "Spongebob Squarepants"

Giphy

As a kid, this was probably one of my favorite shows. There was just something about the friendship between Spongebob and Patrick and the animosity between Mr. Krabs and Plankton that kept me coming back for more.

11. "Zoey 101"

Giphy

Pacific Coast Academy may have been the one boarding school that every kid wished they could go to. No parental supervision required and having fun day and night with our friends, who could possibly turn that down?

12. "Jimmy Neutron"

Giphy

Life would be great if we were all as smart as Jimmy Neutron and able to make super bomb inventions to help save ourselves and the human race.

13. "Scooby-Do"

Giphy

Nothing like solving crimes with your best buds and a talking dog. Also, you'd be lying if you said you never wanted to ride around in the mystery machine at least once.

14. "Fairly Odd Parents"

Giphy

Life would've been so much simpler as kids if we each had our own set of fairly odd parents to help us out whenever we needed it.

Here's to hoping that this article got you back into your childhood feels. I don't know who to talk to in order to begin trying to get thee shows out there for the world to indulge in, but we need to show kids these days what they've been missing out on. If you can think of any other shows that made up your childhood let me know!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
