What Old Television Shows Would You Bring Back?

Tom and Jerry, Adventure Time, Garfield, The backyardigans, Ninjago, teenage mutant ninja turtles, adventure time, rick and Morty, the amazing world of gumball, ducktales, Curious George, wild kratts, Pokémon, do these names ring a bell? Most people have heard of at least one of these cartoons/TV shows and most of us watched these as kids, no matter how you watched them whether it was on Cartoon network, Pbs kids, or even just on a DVD. Most of us will recall fond memories of these shows, specific episodes we liked, long car rides or Saturday mornings sitting down watch episodes upon episodes of cartoons, laughing at the stupidness and silliness of whatever the characters would do. These shows can stir up all kinds of nostalgia thinking about your childhood.

These shows could be educational, just plain silly, and sometimes even quite wholesome, and they all managed to catch the attention of the viewer. An example of a show that I really liked was Tom and Jerry, this show would fall under the category of just plain silly, the episodes all followed the same premise and plot, Tom the cat was trying to catch Jerry the mouse, but they still made every episode different and interesting in one way. This show was very simple, there were barely any words, because neither Tom nor Jerry would talk, so only side characters would talk, if there were ever any humans involved their heads would be above the screen and you could only ever see parts of their lower body. Although it was very simple the timing of the sound effects and music and the pranks Jerry would play on Tom, it was so easy to sit down and watch it for hours.

Another show I watched would be Curious George, this could be wholesome, funny, and educational. The show was about a monkey, George, who got adopted by a man who, we never learn his name, but he is referred to as "the man in the yellow hat" as he always wears yellow and, you guessed it, wears a yellow hat. As a lot of other shows, George would do something stupid and than learn a lesson from it, but the jokes were definitely on point. It was also very wholesome at points between George and the man in the yellow hat and some side characters.

Ninjago is a little different than the other ones, it was about about these elemental ninjas saving the world from one of the ninja's fathers, they all had different powers according to their elements, earth, ice, water, fire, lightning, and the "golden ninja who had powers of all three of them. One fun thing about this was it was all made of Legos, even in the show, this made it even more fun to be able to watch the show and have the physical Lego set at the same time. The plot was very intriguing, especially for a 10 year old me, it would get even more complex as the plot went on, adding more powers the ninjas could use and adding more characters made it even more interesting.
