34 Childhood Shows From The 2000s That You Forgot But Will Be, Like... OMG I Remember That

If you're a Millennial, you 100% watched these shows.

There's nothing warm wave of nostalgia you get when you remember your favorite childhood cartoons.

Nickelodeon

Even if you haven't thought about them in years, you'll immediately feel like a kid in your parents' living room again. 

And if you're a younger millennial, those cartoons probably aired from the late 1990s to early 2000s, which was objectively the best era of television cartoons.

Here are some of the cartoons you may have forgotten over the years:

1. Bear in the Big Blue House (1997-2007)

If this big lovable bear and all his friends gave you a bit of a Muppets vibe, that's by design. The Jim Henson Company made both shows.

2. Out of the Box (1998-2004)

Something about Out of the Box made it feel like the most magical show. Probably the fact that that small cardboard house became every kid's dream treehouse. Viv and Tony's angelic voices certainly helped.

3. Rolie Polie Olie (1998-2003)

For some reason, the robot family in Rolie Polie Olie lived in a teapot-shaped house. Unexplainable, but delightful.

4. PB&J Otter (1998-2000)
