24 Canadian Shows That Defined Your Childhood But Somehow Completely Vanished From Your Memory Until This Very Moment

Angela Anaconda should have her own Heritage Minute. Hi I'm Bella, an Aries sun, Pisces moon, Libra rising AND also BF Canada's entertainment host and celeb interviewer — a job I've been destined for ever since I forced my mom to help me write fan mail to Rosie O'Donnell at age 3. The faces were blue and the CGI was um... new. ReBoot gave me the literal CHILLS as a child, but it was ahead of its time. A show about Guardians protecting the internet, ReBoot screamed, "The new millennium is HERE!" I completely forgot about this show until I heard the theme song and it zonked me back to childhood. It's so wholesome I think i might cry. *Checks my period app* I had no idea the cast of Braceface was so star-studded. With characters voiced by Alicia Silverstone, Michael Cera and Emily Hampshire, I'm going to have to stop writing this and do a rewatch instead. BRB! I'm back— and ready to ask about one of the greatest mysteries in the history of the entire universe: how did they get the worm puppet on Freaky Stories to look so slimy?! If no one else will say it, I bravely will: Edward Cullen could never. Tag yourself: are you an Ed, Edd or Eddy? (I feel in my heart I am an Eddy). Okay so like, I'm realizing I definitely had a crush on Andy. The hair! The pranks! The... rapping in the intro? I'm blushing. Angela Anaconda is the best thing to come out of Canada since Alexander Graham Bell popped out the telephone. Angela is an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. This show was supposed to get a reboot in 2023, but no word yet. Free Maggie! Do you understand that back in the day, I would have sacrificed my baby sister to be slimed by The Punisher? If anyone still has their old Uh Oh! tee, please get in touch. This CGI is giving Sims 1. It's giving Playmobil. It's giving digital claymation. BUUUUT, Monster By Mistake! was one of the earliest shows to be made completely with CGI, so props to it mama. Could not mention one single plot point of Miss Mimi's little show, but I can bet this theme song has been stuck in your head since 2002. I never really watched Naturally, Sadie because I thought it was a show for horse girls. And I was right! Girlstuff/Boystuff has a colour palette like I've never seen before. It probably did some damage to our noggins, but that was the 2000s for you. Gene Simmons: Bassist, reality TV star and... kid show creator? Executive Producer of My Dad the Rock Star, Gene Simmons is a true multi-hyphenate. Rock on. Radio Active wasn't the only Cancon about a group of outliers managing a high school radio station. Which leads us to... Forgot about Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. We, as a community, must stand together to demand a reboot of the iconic Radio Free Roscoe. What are the chances Drake would make a cameo again? Here's the thing: even thoughThe Powerpuff Girls reigns culturally supreme in the "3 Girls With Different Hair Colours Fighting Crime" zeitgeist, real ones know that Totally Spies! is the superior show by far. Just tried to do the clock stretch. Broke a hip. Next. They just don't make shows about cryogenically frozen French explorers anymore. Sigh. I'm not going to lie to you dear reader, I was obsessed with the freaky-deaky-step-siblings-with-chemistry narrative on this show. Life With Derek is definitely the most, um, interesting thing Mr. Walt Disney has ever put his stamp on. Alright, alright so we definitely all remember 6teen. But I just couldn't help it. And they were soooo right— when you're growing up so fast, you need to make the good times last. Time to head to the mall!
