26 TV Shows From The '90s-'00s Everyone Just Collectively Forgot About

Good old times - how could you forget these?

For those of us who were born long before the rise of the Internet, entertainment came in many forms. We especially spent our time watching our favorite shows on TV when we weren't outside playing hide and seek or hopscotch. It didn't matter what time of day it was; whenever we turned on the TV, there was always a guarantee of finding an interesting show to watch.

Most of us had Full House, Boy Meets World, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch as favorites, along with animated shows such as Dexter's Laboratory, Rugrats, The Magic School Bus, and The Powerpuff Girls. These shows were definitely the highlight of most '90s to early '00s kids, and nostalgia truly never fails to return whenever reruns of these shows are aired on our TVs today (which can be rare).

There were many popular shows that graced our screens back then, and the '90s are undeniably one of the best decades that produced numerous gems in the entertainment industry. However, there were also shows that seemed to pass by unnoticed (even if they aired for a couple of years), and we didn't get enough content to remember them after all these years.

Check out these old TV shows you may have forgotten existed in the first place!

The '90s definitely did not disappoint when it came to providing us with entertainment, but some shows just don't hit the right spots and, unfortunately, fail to leave a significant imprint on the audience. Props to those who still remember these shows, though, because one way or another, they did become a part of our childhood after all!
