Rediscovering Classic '90s and Early 2000s Children's TV Series to Rewatch

In the world of television, some productions from the 2000s have been forgotten, only to be rediscovered and enthusiastically watched again. These include cult or niche series that gained a new audience through streaming platforms. One such series is Life with Derek, a lesser-known show that aired during Disney Channel's prime.

Life with Derek, which aired from 2005-2009, is a blended family, comedic, teen drama. The show follows step-siblings Casey and Derek, played by Ashley Leggat and Michael Seater, who have a rivalry. The unique dynamics between Casey and Derek in each season make it entertaining to watch. Life with Derek has a total of five seasons and a movie, making it a series worth investing your time in.

If you're in a TV slump or missing the good ol' days of television, Life with Derek is a good show to watch. It's equally great as shows like Suite Life of Zach and Cody, Hannah Montana, and That's So Raven. The show can be streamed on Tubi, making it easily accessible for viewers.

Another rediscovered gem is "Braceface," an animated series that premiered on Teletoon in 2001 and was later accessible on ABC and Disney. The show follows a 13-year-old named Sharon who gets braces that interfere with electronics, causing embarrassing situations. "Braceface" explores real-life situations and tackles serious topics in an optimistic yet fitting manner.

The voice of Sharon was originally played by Alicia Silverstone, known for her role in Clueless. "Braceface" is worth watching for its entertaining dynamic between the two main characters. The show can also be streamed on various platforms.

In the realm of animated series, "As Told by Ginger" and "The Wild Thornberrys" are two shows that have gained a new audience. "As Told by Ginger" is an animated series that follows a preteen named Ginger through various trials and tribulations of pre-teen life. The show touches on harder topics like breakups, socioeconomic status, self-esteem, depression, single parenthood, and death.

"The Wild Thornberrys" is an animated family show that follows the Thornberry family as they travel the world in their filmmaking RV. The 12-year-old daughter, Eliza, in "The Wild Thornberrys" has a special ability that allows her to talk to animals. Both shows offer a unique and engaging viewing experience.

Lastly, we have "Phil of the Future," a show about a 15-year-old named Phil from the year 2121 who gets stranded in 2004. The show follows Phil's family as they do their best to exist in the past while working to repair their time-traveling device. "Phil of the Future" is a fun and entertaining series that offers a fresh take on the time-travel genre.
