Shows I watched as a kid
As a kid, post-preschool TV until early-high school, my diet of television consisted of 85% Cartoon Network, 10% Boomerang, and 5% anything else (mostly Kids WB and 4Kids TV). I was always an action cartoon junkie. I didn't watch any Nickelodeon until middle school (2010) and never liked any of Disney Channel's high school-centric sitcoms that they were most known for, so pretty much never watched them at all.
When I got to college, my friends were all shocked when I said I didn't watch SpongeBob, Phineas and Ferb, High School Musical (which I watched for the first time when I was actually in high school), etc., and didn't get so many references (Wumbo, Squirrels in my Pants, What team? Wildcats!). They even said I wasn't a real 2000s kid! I put together this list to not only prove the contrary, but that I had a superior childhood and watched all the coolest shows!
P.S.: There are mostly 2000s cartoons on this list, but 90s cartoons are so cool that of course they're gonna be on here. But I'm still a 2000s kid!
