Streaming services such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Prime Video are leading the way for on-demand viewing. Shows are great conversation starters and can be bonding opportunities. We can turn on the screens, turn off our busy minds and take a moment to sit back and relax with a friend, significant other, family, or by ourselves. Addictive and convenient, streaming makes it even easier for us to watch anything we want, whenever we want.
Do you remember a time when television was more of a leisure activity you had to wait to enjoy? Think back to your favorite shows as a kid. One thing is for sure, many of us get hit with a wave of nostalgia when we recall the golden days of the past—arguably the early 2000s or 2010s for current college-age students. So let’s take a short trip down memory lane and reminisce about some of the greatest hits of modern-day television of the early 21st century.
Cartoons. Some love them, and some hate them. Nevertheless, cartoons are a great starting point for the early 2000–2010s, and they were a huge part of pop culture back then. How many of the following top-rated kids’ cartoons can you remember vividly?
- Sesame Street
- Blue’s Clues
- Backyardigans
- Dora the Explorer
- Futurama
- Arthur
- Little Einsteins
- Lazy Town
- Clifford the Big Red Dog
- Spongebob Squarepants
- Fairly OddParents
- Curious George
- Caillou
- Barney
- The Flintstones
- The Jetsons
- Wild Kratts
- Phineas and Ferb
- The Magic School Bus
- Johnny Test
- Powerpuff Girls
- Tom and Jerry
- Mickey Mouse
- Bugs Bunny
- Scooby-Doo
There are those classics that seem to be all-time favorites, such as Tom and Jerry, while there are others that have been discontinued or left in our distant childhood memories, such as Arthur and The Magic School Bus. Still, there are others that are making a comeback, like Clifford the Big Red Dog.
