Have you ever thought about what you liked when you were younger? Most times the first thing that comes to mind are shows and cartoons. Iconic shows have stuck with us forever and influenced us in many ways.

Some favorites of the journalism crew are “Dragon Tales”, “Mickey Mouse”, “Backyardigans”, “iCarly”, “Danny Phantom”, “Maisey Mouse”, and “Wonder Pets”. These shows have impacted us in many ways and stick with us because of some certain details.

These shows taught us almost everything we know. “Dora” taught us how to speak words in Spanish. “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” taught us the alphabet, letters, colors, and so much more. Along with teaching things you learn in school, these shows taught us morals and ways of life. “Maisey Mouse” demonstrated how to share and be kind to friends. “iCarly” showed us the importance of friends and that we can’t live without them. “Backyardigans” illustrated teamwork and how to solve difficult problems. The “Doodlebops” exemplified how to be happy and how to sing through problems.

Those incredible shows and cartoons impacted our actions, emotions, personalities, learning styles, and so so so much more. We thank these shows and cartoons for affecting us greatly and sticking with us throughout our life.
