Growing up, we didn’t have access to televisions like many modern children do today. I remember having play dates, exploring the African grounds, and attending parties. But once we relocated to Vietnam, the landscape shifted. We expanded our horizons beyond the VCR. A list of my favourite shows from my late youth that I still like watching follows.
Between the years of 1990 and… #GoodTimes! I have never felt anything other than secure while watching these clips. Interscope Records is the author of this “cinematic or audiovisual work,” as it is credited at the film’s end to remind us.
1. Powerpuff Girls
Professor Utonium unintentionally created the three sisters with superpowers, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, who frequently protected Townsville from criminals like Mojo Jojo, Gang, and Him. Blossom is the toughest, Bubbles is the cutest, and Buttercup is the braggart of the trio.
2. Ed Edd & Eddie
Ed, Edd, and Eddy are just as confused about girls as any kid trying to survive their teens. Maybe Eddy isn’t the trio’s brains, but he’s the ideal guy who drags his buddies along. In summer adventures, Ed, Edd, and Eddy will go for part-time work, trees, and girls.
3. I R Weasel
I.M. Weasel competes with his arch-enemy, the bumbling and brainless I.R. Baboon.
4. Cow & Chicken
Chicken, a skinny 11-year-old, reluctantly watches his big “little” offspring, Cow, a seven-year-old cow. Because “Ren & Stimpy Show” creator David Feiss worked on “Cow and Chicken,” the look of the characters and the irresistible humour remind viewers of “Ren & Stimpy Show.”
Both young animals are the unorthodox children of two parents. They live in suburban neighbourhoods, where they struggle with school and the Red Guy, a Crimean nemesis with multiple goals to make the brothers’ lives miserable.
5. Little Lulu
This animated series is freely adapted from a 1935 cómic strip of Marjorie Henderson Buell and follows Lulu Moppet’s hijinks, best pal Annie Inch and the rest of their Peekskill, N.Y. friends.
6. Johnny Bravo
Johnny Bravo is a muscular young man who sports the hairstyle of a pompadour and believes himself to be a gift from God to women. Therefore, he chases them to fall in love with him.
7. Dexter’s Laboratory
A young genie, Dexter slips away into his secret laboratory to produce scientific inventions. However, he fails to resist his designs and experiments with Dee Dee.
8. Courage the Cowardly Dog
Loyal but incredibly timid, Courage must regularly defend his owners, Eustace and Muriel, from the paranormal elements that threaten their simple existence
9. DuckTales
In this revival of the late ’80s cartoon series, Scrooge McDuck is back. When Donald Duck takes them reluctantly to the manor McDuck, he enthrals the poor three-fold: he takes charge of grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. While they live with their trillionaire relative, they learn families’ secrets from the long history of Scrooge and unleash symbolic artefacts.
The Antics of The Threesome takes the family on adventures, including Webby Vandersquack, Scrooge’s aunt, and Mrs. Beakley. The classic comic designs of animator Carl Barks have an impact on the series’ entertainment style.
10. Hey Arnold!
The adventures of Arnold, a grade-schooler who lives with his grandparents Phil and Gertrude.
11. Pinky and the Brain
Cartoon chaos with the genius mouse and his stupid sidekick who try to conquer the world each night.
12. Inspector Gadget
Inspector Gadgets now takes a route to solve the mystery rooted in America.
13. Popeye the Sailor
Elzie Crisler Segar created the fictional, muscular American cartoonist known as The Sailor. On January 17, 1929, Popeye became the stripped theme, and the character first appeared in the King Features comic strip.
14. Goosebumps
This is live-action show. Stine’s award-winning book series puts ordinary children in an unusual alternative, where they encounter circumstances such as haunted fun parks, Halloween masks, and weird scenes.
15. Recess
Third Street School has six brave fourth-graders tasked with protecting the other children on the playground. T.J., Ashley, Vince, Gus, Gretchen, and Mikey try a fair compromise between conformity and individuality amid King Bob’s and his minions’ rule, who are imposing his laws in writing.
