cartoons. everyone loves them, everyone watches them, and if you have that one family member, you can never sit down and enjoy the cartoon for the first part without them saying "today's cartoons were never as good as my generations."

i myself, am a real cartoon head, even now! i've watched all kinds, duh...so wanna sit here with me and watch me remember the ones i loved and hated all the way from babyhood to now?

you probably dont, but unless your reading back to my old stories or reading someone else's, you cant move on from this,

so lets go!


one that i know will probably haunt my brain forever is Little Brown Bear. some show that aired for a short time and that i remember the theme song still, even though i was a really young one digit at the time...like, i think a toddler? 


right along side that was a completely different show and no where near related (probably more popular too), Little bear. i recently had to listen to the theme song because Paramount+ has the show on there, and the nostalgia from that show almost made me cry. i remember loving Little Bear, the duck, and i think the owl. 


sesame street. does it need to be elaborated further? Zoey was the best character dont @ younger me, and when i was watching sesame street, i began unraveling just how dedicated i was to the show. my brother tried to switch it off once, and i bit his face...uh, the mark is still there. sorry, bro. next time heed my warning, keep my shit on.


Rugrats, CatDog, and Hey, Arnold. top tier old Nick shows for me. i watched rugrats on a regular, and i had like 10 or 11 recorded episodes on me and my moms super old tv; we'd rewatch them all the time. i didnt watch CatDog often because we didnt have cable or recorded episodes. usually Hey Arnold and CatDog would have a clip of  the theme song recorded while Rugrats was on and then itd just end. by the way, i dont really like this new Rugrats and i cry to the Jungle movie one...


pbs kids. alot of what aired on there, i watched. i remember really liking Wild Kratts, i watched Arthur, Curious George, Peg + Cat, Sid the Science Kid, Cat in the Hat, Maya and Miguel, and Clifford. and the show, which i think was the freakiest of all, Word World. jesus, i HATED this show,,,! it was mainly the theme song, because i'd still find myself watching it after i hid under the blanket from it. i also remember being really scared of this screen with a huge tree, part of the credits before it starts, and it sounded like a school house while it was on screen? something about it was really eerie to me, and i hated it. that tree popped up in my dreams alot. 


after being a huge pbs kids head for some time, i remember somewhere in those years, i would watch Playhouse Disney. oh my GOD that was the best times. i watched everything! Little Einsteins, Rollie Polie Olie, Special Agent Oso, Doc Mcstuffins, Octonauts, Henry Hugglemonster, Sheriff Cali's Wild West, Gaspard and Lisa; i was into it all, and before i knew it, it became DIsney Junior. (thats why all the shows that werent on Playhouse is mixed with Disney Jr shows, it immediately became apparent to me that they were the same thing) didnt stop me from watching it! honestly, i stayed watching Disney for years...like until 10 or 11. 


Lizzie Mcguire. i didnt watch Hannah Montana because i was stuck on this! its STILL my favorite show hands down, and i always felt like school would be exactly like it was for her. well,,,everyone did. it wasnt, and it isnt, Lizzie. god tier show.


nick jr/hub (family discovery channel) timeeee! okay, let me just say, im so confused. some of the shows i used to watch on another program is on nick??? thats why i put '/hub' because i cant tell what i watched what on anymore! uhhh if i could list some shows from nick,  Peppa Pig, Dora, her cousin whatever his name was(oh his name is Diego), Ni Hao Kai Lan, Max and Ruby, Wow Wow Wubbzy, MISS FUCKING SPIDER??? I REMEMBER WATCHING IT BUT I COULD NEVER FIND IT OR REMEMBER ON WHAT!!! (let me just clarify, im researching whilst writing, so alot of the stuff on these shows are shocking mee!) okay uh, The Backyardigans, Blues' Clues, and more but i dont remember if i watched them specifically on Nick. uh, and the Hub, which is now family discover channel, uhhhhhhhhh Pound Puppies (god tier show), Littlest Pet Shop, Strawberry Shortcake, Dan Vs (STILL A GOD TIER SHOW), My little Pony, Transformers Prime (not often but i loved the show, specifically Bumblebee), and Oswald (seriously, bring my mans back.) i was SO mad finding out Hub was replaced in 2014...itll forever be in my heart. 


alot of stuff i also piggybacked from my brother but i didnt watch unless he watched, like Adventure Time, Regular Show, Chowder, Flapjack, all that kinda stuff. i was now watching stuff on regular Nick, like a big girl! Victorious, Drake and Josh, Rabbids Invasion, and Fanboy and Chum Chum! those were my favorites, i kinda grew from Rabbids but either way, id go back and watch these all again. 


and now, reaching the end, cartoon network. iwatchedstuffonadultswimtoobutdonttellanyone! 

top tiers are Amazing World of Gumball, We Bare Bears, Craig of the Creek (another god tier) THEY HAD TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND!?? (i probably knew this, my brother introduced me to the show. but since that time that he introduced me, i only ever watched it on Netflix and Youtube.) uhhh it took some time, like me blossoming into my art officially, Unikitty (big inspiration!!) and Ok Ko!! i remember going to my granny's after school (going to her house? i lived with her for some time!) and fixing a snack then praying Ok Ko was on! if it wasnt, it was TAWOG or Magic Magiswords if thats what its called. 

but, the best for last...up there with We Bare Bears, i was there for the first episode of Summer Camp Island, and i was moving place to place back then so i couldnt watch much tv. bummed out, i kinda forgot about it, and thats when i kinda moved in with my first childhood best friend. he always watched Disney XD but nevermind that! when he was at school, id watch cartoon network, and thats when i saw they still aired it...and since then, because my brother had a piano, i learned the theme on it, i STILL listen to the theme and covers of it on piano, and i still watch it from the beginning. but now, i gotta use a site :((( whatever though, theres tons of seasons, so i wont run out for some time! god tier show DEFINITELY! this and aot of the shows i watched from CN inspired my art just a little, not as much as Unikitty. 


OKAY THIS IS SO LONG BUT I GOTTA GET TO WORK ITS 10!!! OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOK MORALS!

i love my god tier list, i love cartoons, i forgot i used to watch Milo's Murphy Law, Bunk'd and Jessie on Disney XD, i need to binge watch more CN, i hate We Baby Bears unless its the episodes in the original show, this took so long and alot of research, my head hurts, i need to watch some more stuff, i think ill try rewatching TDI, i only liked total dramarama for Cody, and smoked sausages sounds so good rn but maybe im just hungry.
