By Alex
I loved watching television growing up. Really, which kid growing up through the 90s and early 2000s didn't? The times have changed, and so has the television aimed at kids, and not for the better.

True, it is important to get some information packed in there, but whatever happened to watching shows purely for their entertainment value?Here are 12 shows from the 90s and early 2000s that were a joy to watch growing up, but you have likely forgotten all about them

By Sandra
If you remember sitting down to watch Trading Spaces in the early 2000's, you're not alone. As what some dub to be the best home renovation show of all time, Trading Spaces has two sets of neighbors swap houses and redesign each others's home, with the owners having no say in the changes.

By Meg
The reboots that have been coming out recently aren't...great. The idea of them is wonderful, but no one needed to see human versions of Reboot, okay?

By Meg
If you told someone they could get one more season of one show that's been cancelled, most people would choose Veronica Mars.
