Why Being a Child of the 90's was Awesome!
Growing up in the 90's was great; we had Pokemon cards, Crazy Bones, Furby, and Beanie Babies. But, we also had a great supply of television series that kids today just don't know what their missing. Here is a list of my favorite childhood shows (note that not all are from the 90's, but what ever I remember watching them so they are on the list) :)
