With Netflix\u2019s recent announcement that they\u2019re considering adding old kids\u2019 shows to their lineup, I wanted to know what shows resonated with the RC crowd, the majority of which are \u201890s kids. Having been born in the year 2000, I can\u2019t relate to a lot of the nostalgia that you all feel for these programs. Some students at RC brought me up to speed on what I missed. Junior Arianna Lewis said that she used to watch Kim Possible, That\u2019s So Raven, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Lizzie McGuire. I\u2019d heard of all of these, but I had only really watched Kim Possible and Avatar: The Last Airbender. I also knew that That\u2019s So Raven had been a popular show, but I didn\u2019t realize the effect it had on RC students. Senior Taylor Thompson said that she was \u201creally into it\u201d when she was a kid, and<\/p>\n<p>Junior Arianna Lewis said that she used to watch Kim Possible, That\u2019s So Raven, Avatar: The Last Airbender and Lizzie McGuire.

Apparently, Hannah Montana was also really big. Personally, I never really understood the show. I mean, come on. Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana look exactly the same. Why did it take so long for people to figure out her secret?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember we watched the Hannah Montana concert. We got 3D glasses and watched it on TV. That was huge,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n<p>Freshmen Madeleine Youngman and Dylan Bandy remember different shows as being popular, such as Blue\u2019s Clues, Bob The Builder and Clifford the Big Red Dog. I could relate to these because I watched them when I was a kid. When it comes to shows that are on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon nowadays, the general consensus seems to be that they can\u2019t even begin to compare with what used to be on television.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis said that today\u2019s Disney shows are full of \u201crandom crap thrown in with these random plot holes that make no sense. Nothing adds up.\u201d She also said that she feels that there was a lesson to be learned in the shows that she watched as a kid. \u201cI feel like now it\u2019s just random nonsense that\u2019s not applicable to anyone or their life. It\u2019s laugh tracks and bad acting and not funny scenarios,\u201d Lewis said.<\/p>\n<p>Almost everyone managed to mention a show that they had watched as a kid that I had never heard of, having been born in 2000. In any case, it doesn\u2019t matter which shows Netflix adds, because it seems like they will all bring nostalgia to the Netflix-viewers at RC.<\/p>\n<p>Youngman said that he watched The Fairly OddParents, and was quick to correct me when I called it Fairly God Parents, and then exclaimed, \u201cAnd I thought my childhood was sad!\u201d when I admitted that I\u2019d never watched it. Feel free to poke fun, \u201890s kids, but one day, we millennials will rule the world with our avocado toast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article by Maddy Chapman If you\u2019re a \u201890s kid, chances are you grew up watching shows like Hannah Montana and That\u2019s So Raven.
