Turning on old cartoons is a fun way to relive the past while maintaining a stressful college agenda.

Here are five ways to relax near finals while throwing it back to some old flicks.

“Hey Arnold!”

Sophomore psychology major Brittany White said she wishes “Hey Arnold!” would make a comeback because she found humor within the show.

“‘Hey Arnold!’ was extremely funny,” White said. “I used to watch it every night. I really enjoyed [how Helga would] chase Arnold around and be mean to him, but in reality, she actually liked him.”

“Ed, Edd n Eddy”

Junior education major Shaka Ford said she wishes “Ed, Edd n Eddy” would return to television because of how adventurous the trio of friends was.

“‘Ed, Edd n Eddy’ was a different type of cartoon and stayed true to those differences every episode,” Ford said. “I feel like the cartoon showed the real meaning of friendship, and they were so adventurous.”

“The Proud Family”

Shakeel Pearson, sophomore engineering technology major, said he wishes “The Proud Family” would air again because of how the show chronicled black families.

“‘The Proud Family’ was one of the funniest shows I had ever seen growing up,” Pearson said. “The show encompassed black families in a cartoon, and [viewers] don’t get that too often, and I miss it honestly.”

“The Wild Thornberrys”

Senior communication major Precious Bradley said she wishes “The Wild Thornberrys” would make a comeback because of the show’s connection to animals and nature.

“I think this cartoon was really cool because it showed [Eliza Thornberry] having the ability to talk to animals,” Bradley said. “It made me feel like there would be a time in my life where I would be able to talk to animals, and I miss that feeling.”

“Scooby-Doo”

Sophomore sociology major Davieon Davis-McBride said he wishes “Scooby-Doo” would make a comeback because the show reminds him of the occupation he wants in the future.

“I feel like ‘Scooby-Doo’ had a lot to do with what I’m doing right now as far as my studies go and my future career,” Davis-McBride said. “I loved how the group would have to come together to solve a mystery but still added a funny twist each time.”
