This. I mean, I still remember the Pepper Ann episode about Women's Rights, and Pepper Ann's attitude of 'Wait, why wouldn't I be able to be president?'. Looking back on it, Pepper Ann would be about my age now and we had a women almost make it into the White House. By the time Peppy 9s 40 we probably will have a women in the White House. But at the same time, the whole thing so fully captured my own perspective when a kid and now I can't help but wince at how naive and how extremely positive it was.

But if you think about it, those shows were major breakthroughs. Friends were not all of one race and gender, Pepper Ann's mom was a divorced single mom and awesome and Arnold's parents were dead and was being raised by his grand father. We got messages of indiviuality, of caring for others, of how it was ok to be different. To dream big, to fight for what you believe in (anyone else remember that episode where Arnold and his friends protested the tree being bowled over by Helga's Dad?).

Sure, they had there issues. But I feel like you really can't compare shows like Phineas and Ferb to them. It has great music, yeah... but IDK. It just seems like the 90's rocked when it came to cartoons.

...The fact that these shows still impact me today, and that I still love them, says a lot I think. Which reminds me, I still need to buy the Recess movie...

Aww, I love this comment. It makes me feel so nostalgic. I was only a little kid in the 90s, early elementary school years, but I remember watching and loving those shows.
They really were so positive. I love that about them.
We grew up with Pepper Ann. The kids now will grow up and remember Bella Swan >.>
