From Cartoon Network to Nickelodeon, to Disney Channel and PBS, there was an abundance of cartoons to choose from in the 2000s. Especially because some of them were only around for a single season. Some cartoons from the 2000s are pretty well-known, even still today, like Kim Possible, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Teen Titans, Max and Ruby, and The Fairly OddParents. But likely everyone has had a conversation with their friends about a cartoon they used to love that another person may not remember. Some may be a little more obscure, and because everyone grows up differently, it’s likely you may have missed a show that someone else really loved. With so many shows to choose from, it’s difficult to narrow down a list. However, here are seven of the best obscure cartoons from the 2000s that you might remember.

7 Stanley

Buena Vista Television

Stanley was a unique cartoon that essentially used animals to teach young, preschool-age children how to cope with various issues they may face like handling change, following rules, and getting along with others. In each episode, Stanley is faced with a situation he doesn't totally understand, and — after consulting with his goldfish, Dennis — consults his computer or his Great Big Book of Everything, a complete zoology catalog. Learning how different animals cope with situations teaches Stanley how he can cope. Stanley aired on Playhouse Disney from 2001 to 2004, lasting three seasons.

6 Oswald

Each episode of Oswald follows the daily life of Oswald the octopus and his accurately named hotdog-shaped pup, Weenie. Oswald has a chronically optimistic outlook on life, and each episode revolves around how Oswald interacts with his life and handles interpersonal situations. Oswald was co-produced by Nickelodeon and HIT Entertainment, originally airing on Nick Jr. in 2001. Oswald also aired on Noggin and CBS, but ended after just one season/26 episodes.

5 Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat

Sagwa, the Chinese Siamese Cat, is another short-lived cartoon, lasting for just one season/40 episodes. Sagwa is a cat residing in a magistrate's palace in the late Qing Dynasty, and is part of a royal family of cats that have the ability to write with their tails. Sagwa hits all the marks of your standard children's cartoons, baking morality lessons into each episode, but it differs from others with its focus on Chinese culture.

4 6teen

6teen aired on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network from 2004 to 2010 and was a cartoon geared toward preteens and teens. The show takes place almost exclusively within a shopping mall and follows the everyday lives of a group of six 16-year-old friends as they experience life events like their first jobs and romance. 6teen was a Canadian cartoon and was more progressive and risque than what was typical for U.S. television at the time, which resulted in several episodes of the show being censored in the U.S.

3 My Life as a Teenage Robot

My Life as a Teenage Robot was a superhero cartoon about a robot named Jenny who had to juggle life as a normal teenager with her duties to protect planet Earth. My Life as a Teenage Robot was pretty well received during its first two seasons that aired from 2003 to 2005. Though its approach to life as a teenager may be a bit outdated today, during its time on air it was decently funny and had some pretty good storytelling. Unfortunately, viewership was low, resulting in the show being canceled in 2005. However, the third season premiered later in 2008 on Nickelodeon's spin-off network Nicktoons.

2 Cyberchase

PBS

Cyberchase is about three kids, Inez, Jackie, and Matt, who go into the digital world of Cyberspace to protect the world from the evil villain, The Hacker. The three friends use basic problem-solving skills, math and science to beat the Hacker, with the help of their "cybird" friend Digit. Cyberchase premiered on PBS Kids in 2002. It ran for eight seasons until 2010, when the show went on a hiatus. It returned in 2013 for its ninth season and — unique to the other entries on this list — is still on air today, having just aired its 13th season in February of this year.

Cyberchase is a unique educational cartoon in that it takes the lessons taught in the cartoon and revisits them in a segment called "Cyberspace For Real" that follows each episode. The Cyberspace For Real segments are live-action and take the cartoon lessons and link them to real-life practices.

1 Totally Spies!

Marathon Media

Totally Spies! is a very fun, fashion-forward, girl power cartoon about three teenage girls — Sam, Clover and Alex — in Beverly Hills who work as undercover spies for The World Organization of Human Protection, or the WOOHP. Totally Spies! is an entertaining blend of Clueless, James Bond, Charlie's Angels and The Powerpuff Girls and just radiates 2000s energy. The spies are known for their bright-colored latex jumpsuits and catalog of secret spy gadgets like laser lipstick and the eyelash curler catapult.

Totally Spies! premiered on ABC Family in 2001 and moved to Cartoon Network two years later. The show ran for six seasons/156 episodes and also saw several comic books, novels, video games and even a Totally Spies! The Movie special. Though it has been a decade since the last season aired, a seventh is scheduled to premiere in 2023.
