2000s Cartoons just hit different. If you liked any of these growing up you’re awesome.
Total Drama Island
This show was everything!! But it was definitely something you had to watch with no parents around. Total Drama island premiered back in 2007 in Canada on Teletoon. The show itself was a parody of the reality TV show Survivor. All the characters went through a series of challenges, ate disgusting food and slept in terrible conditions, in order to try and win $100,000. My final note about the show is everybody had a crush on Duncan and Gwen or both.
Totally Spies
This was definitely a god tier show. The surprising thing about this one is that, the producers behind it initially thought of it as a show that would be most popular with girls and catered it to them mostly. The show itself actually had 50/50 of girls and boys watching it, it was that good! Totally spies first aired on November 3, 2001 on ABC family and it was a French-Canadian-American animated series. The series followed the adventures of 3 teenage girls who lived a double life as full-time spies. This is probably one of my childhood favourites, and the full series is on YouTube.
6TEEN
6TEEN was probably one of the most loved Canadian TV shows ever. I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like this show. Originally titled The Mall, 6TEEN was a Canadian animated series and sitcom produced by Nelvana. It began airing in the United States on November 7, 2004 on Teletoon, and on December 18, 2005 on Nicklelodeon. This show was for more older kids but nonetheless remains as one of the greatest ever.
Danny Phantom
Everyone loved Danny Phantom, like everyone. Danny Phantom was an American animated action series which followed a teenage boy who became half ghost and half human. Danny Phantom received 5 Annie Award nominations and was extremely loved by critics. This show never had a dull moment, it also had one of the best and most memorable theme songs.
American Dragon: Jake Long
Produced by Walt Disney and created by Jeff Goode it premiered on Disney Channel on January 21, 2005. The show was set in Manhattan and follows the story of a Chinese-American boy Jake Long, who must not only balance his life of a teenager but also the power of the dragon. From what I remember I always felt this show had the freshest concepts at the time and he had the best hair ever aside from Danny Phantom.
