For those of us who were born way before the rise of the Internet, entertainment came in many forms for us, but we most especially spent our time watching our favorite shows on TV if we're not outside playing hide and seek or hopscotch. It didn't matter what time of the day was it because whenever we turn on the TV, there is always the guarantee of ending up on a channel that shows an interesting show for us to watch.

Most of us had Full House, Boy Meets World, and Sabrina The Teenage Witch as favorites, as well as the animated ones such as Dexter's Laboratory, Rugrats, The Magic School Bus, and The Powerpuff Girls. These shows were definitely the highlight of most '90s to early '00s kids and nostalgia truly never fails to come back whenever reruns of these get shown on our TVs at present time (which can be rare).

There were a lot of these popular shows that graced our screens back then, and the '90s are undeniably one of the best decades that brought out a lot of gems in the entertainment industry. However, there were also shows that seemed like they just passed by (even if they did air for a couple of years), and we didn't even get enough content to remember them after all these years.

Check out these old TV shows you may have forgotten to exist in the first place!

The '90s definitely did not disappoint when it comes to providing us with entertainment, but some shows just don't hit the right spots and unfortunately, fail to leave a significant imprint on the audience. Props to those who still remember these shows, though, because one way or another, they did become a part of our childhood after all!
