The shows we all remember…

8. CatDog

The show aired in 1998, and everyone who grew up in the 90’s has at least heard of it. It featured a cat and a dog, who were connected to each other. The body had a cat head at one end and a dog head at the other. Always being stuck together, they got annoying to each other, because of the cat’s up tight personality, and the dog’s stupidity. This added a comic twist to this show.

7. The Angry Beavers

It aired in 1997, and was a hit for a good amount of time. The show starred Norbet and Dagget, who are two beavers that live in the woods together. They left their parents, because their parents had another litter. Their parents didn’t pay much attention to them, because Norbet was the small one while Dagget was the stupid one. Throughout they show they encounter many obstacles with their house in the woods.

6. Rocket Power

Although the show started in late 1999, it was still one of the best shows in the 90’s. It focused on the friendship between Otto, Reggie, Twister, and Squid. The four friends would do extreme sports such as surfing, roller skating, and skateboarding in the city of Ocean Shores, California.
