Every teenager has that one TV show that immediately transports them back to their childhood. For many students, these shows were more than entertainment. They were about learning, growing up, and using their imagination.
When polled about their favorite childhood TV show, students showed a variety of responses. Out of the 194 responses, the three most popular shows were ‘SpongeBob SquarePants,’ ‘Phineas and Ferb,’ and ‘Bubble Guppies.’
With 30 votes, ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ performed the highest in the poll. Senior August Jetton shares why it was his favorite show growing up.
“Spongebob is my favorite TV show because of how random it is, and how blunt it can be sometimes,” Jetton said.
‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ is well-known for its recognizable characters and humor. Jettson talks about his favorite character and episode.
“My favorite character was Doodlebob and my favorite episode was about Doodlebob and how SpongeBob found a pencil and created Doodlebob. When he tried to erase him then he came back and was evil,” Jetton said.
‘Phineas and Ferb’ was ranked to be the second favorite childhood TV show with 24 responses.
Senior Rebekah Allen explains why she voted for ‘Phineas and Ferb’.
“I just loved that Phineas and Ferb had so many seasons and episodes. I felt like I could watch it over and over again and I would never get tired of it,” Allen said.
With a total of 129 episodes, Allen shares which one is her favorite.
“I think one of my favorites is ‘Tip of the Day’ which talks about the tip of the shoelace and what the name of that is called. It’s just cute and funny,” Allen said.
The third most voted show was ‘Bubble Guppies’ with a total of 23 votes. Sophomore Christian Moore explains what made him vote for this show.
“Every night before I went to bed I would watch Nick Jr, and Bubble Guppies would run on repeat forever,” Moore said.
Moore discusses which characters he loved the most.
“My favorite characters are Nonny and Goby. They’re just a duo and were always the funniest in my opinion,” Moore said.
These shows, along with many others, have become nostalgic. Students are now able to look back on their favorite animated childhood shows and reflect.
