Someone’s going to be mad with this one. Just bringing up the best show of our childhood started arguments. Listening to these debates, I decided I would give you a voice. After a couple of hours of research on shows that just ranged from about 1996-1999 that were popular when we were all kids, I weeded most of my options out until the list was down to 10. This list made me think of watching these very shows everyday. We all have memories of sitting in front of the TV laughing our heads off at the most stupid cartoons. Some of us may even do it today. Just looking back, I’m sure you all remember your favorite episodes. Maybe you had a favorite kid TV movie. Either way, each of these old shows had an impact on some of our childhoods. This is my list of the greatest TV shows for the kids of our generation. Be prepared to recall memories you haven’t thought about for years, maybe even close to a decade. (I know; I can’t believe we’re that old either.) Here it goes: 1. Doug 2. The Angry Beavers 3. Hey Arnold! 4. Keenan and Kel 5. CatDog 6. Ed, Edd n Eddy 7. All That 8. Rugrats 9. Pinky and The Brain 10. Rocko’s Modern Life I’m sure many of you are nodding in agreement and an equal number of you are ready to fight me because your favorite show wasn’t number one, or may not have even made the list. I will be fair though. As I’m sure many of you have scoured that list and have not come across one of your all-time favorites, I am going to be generous and give you my honorable mentions. These are in no specific order: · · · · · · · · · · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power · Rocket Power It was really cool to see the names of shows that I had forgotten years ago. It made me recall many Saturday mornings of sitting on the couch with a bowl of cereal the size of my head watching cartoons for hours, or waiting for my favorite show to come on that night, and counting down the days to the release of a new episode. I’m sure all of you used to watch the commercials for the new releases in anticipation. We all looked forward to the new episodes, although I don’t remember ever getting sick of reruns. If your favorite show didn’t make the cut, I’m sorry. It’s nothing personal, really. This is just one writer’s reminiscent view of TV from his childhood. However, if you do have a suggestion, comment, or argument, I would love to hear it. Write a letter to the editor; we writers and editors love hearing what you all have to say. I hope this little article jarred a few memories in your head. I know it did for me. We upperclassmen will be spending the next month or so looking back, especially us seniors. It’s cool to look back at a time when things were a little simpler, and life was innocent.
