With so many terrible children’s shows on the air today, many of us look back to our childhood; back to the time when the shows that aired entertained the child and the parent that was forced to watch it. The 90’s and early 2000’s gave way to one of the funniest and memorable shows in TV history. Even though a few of the shows only aired for less than four seasons, they did develop a cult following.       

1. Hey Arnold (1994-2004)- This was a classic Nickelodeon television show based on a fourth grader. But Arnold was no average fourth grader. His head a was mysterious football shape, but that is not why Arnold was so different. He was different because he would come up with solutions to solve his friends’ problem and his own problems.
