xoxo Hopssip Girl: Childhood shows the world needs again

You heard it right.

Everyone’s favorite childhood show is returning to our home screens. It seems we all needed a little more sugar, spice, and everything nice in our lives.

The Powerpuff girls are back, adorable and badass as ever.

Recently, the Cartoon Network announced their return to TV, after going off air in 2005.

However, they will be returning with a few changes. The new show will showcase a redesigned Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. There will also be a new character, Fibonacci Sequins and with a last name like Sequins, I have high hopes for this addition. There’s no denying that this news has caused great joy among the female populations of the world. But I’d like to look at other shows from our youth that would be nice to bring back.

1. Boy Meets World: We all watched Cory grow up and snare Topanga. We watched them head off to college together, and we all mourned the end of the show. While we won’t be getting a new and improved Boy Meets World on air in the near future, we will be getting a new take on the classic show. Girl Meets World will be hitting screens soon, and with many of the original cast members returning to play their older selves, it promises to become a favorite of the younger generations just as it was for us. 2. Hey Arnold!: I don’t think I know a single person who didn’t love Arnold and his football shaped head. The same cannot be said for Helga and her unfortunate attitude. But together they create a hilariously entertaining pair that the world could use a bit more of these days.

3. The Magic School Bus: No ones childhood was complete without the joy this show provided. Many of our first lessons were acquired from the knowledge this show had to offer.  To this day I remember the episode that explained the water cycle. It made learning interactive, entertaining and quite honestly, the fact that I still remember lessons from this show is a pretty obvious sign that it did its job well.

4. Bill Nye the Science Guy: This one speaks for itself. Truthfully, I just want to be able to chant “Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!” again and not be judged for it.

5. Lizzie McGuire: This classic needs to be brought back to the big screen pronto. I would even be satisfied with a few more movies. A sequel to their adventure in Rome? Perhaps in Paris or London? Hilary, it’s time to leave your baby with a sitter and jump back into the high school life with your BFFs Miranda and Gordo. Or maybe a college version, since the cast has passed acceptable high school age. Who wouldn’t want to watch the regular drama unfold without mom, dad, and Matt there to stop the fun?

6. 7th Heaven: This show came a bit later on in my childhood but it was still a classic that deserves a spot on this list. Who wouldn’t love a show about a minister and his wife trying to juggle the upbringing of seven kids? The show presented endless hours of mindless entertainment that I will be forever thankful for.

7. Sailor Moon: I saved the best for last. This show shaped a generation and had a lasting impact. Tuxedo Mask and the Sailor Moon crew will forever be beloved by our generation. Girls will forever dream of mysterious men in top hats and masks throwing razor sharp roses to save them in their greatest moments of need. Watching the show now, Serena is a tad annoying and a bit of a cry baby, but I’m willing to look past this because of the various other things the show has going for it.

This list could go on for pages and pages as I reminisce about my childhood, but I’ll cut myself off. With the return of at least two of my beloved childhood shows, we can only hope the trend continues until all of the classic shows of our youth grace the screens again.
