10 Disney Channel TV Shows That Give You All the Nostalgia

The early 2000s were a golden age for the Disney Channel. DCOMs were on top of their game and the shows were the best. These are the ten that kick us right in the childhood.

'Suite Life of Zack and Cody' (2005 - 2008)

Before Riverdale," he and his brother, Dylan, were making us laugh as they got into trouble at the Tipton Hotel.

'Even Stevens' (2000 - 2003)

Before Shia LaBeouf went full Shia LaBeouf, he played the kooky, but lovable Louis Stevens. It was a quirky show -- there was a character named Beans! -- but we loved it anyway. 

'Lizzie McGuire' (2001 - 2004)

For girls going through adolescence at the same time as Lizzie, this show was a lifesaver. It was relatable on a level that a lot of Disney Channel shows aren't, especially these days.

'The Proud Family' (2001 - 2005)

If you were a kid from 2001 through 2005, you probably still remember the theme song to this animated comedy. And even though they were drawings, with every episode you found yourself wishing you could join the Proud family.

'Sonny With a Chance' (2009-2011)

"Sonny With a Chance" definitely had some bumps in the road and had fewer seasons than most Disney shows because of So Random!," but without Lovato, it just didn't feel the same.

'That's So Raven' (2003 - 2007)

Probably the Disney Channel's weirdest show, but also one it's best. Every episode was the same, but in a different packaging, but we could never get enough. Raven would have a vision, she'd then do something crazy to try to keep it from happening, but that crazy thing she did is what made her vision come true. A classic.

'Wizards of Waverly Place' (2007 - 2012)

Wizards of Waverly Place," but outside of her song "Can't Keep My Hands to Myself," she's never been as good as she was as Alex Russo. It was a role made for her and if we could watch her play it until the end of time, we probably would.

'Kim Possible' (2002 - 2007)

What's the sitch? Well, it's that this show was amazing and, if we're being honest, we don't really want the live-action version! A naked mole rat just isn't as cute in real life!

'Hannah Montana' (2006 - 2011)

"Hannah Montana" was a monster, even by Disney Channel standards. Not only did they have a hit television show (that even grown adults enjoyed), but they had a pop star in Miley Cyrus who would go on tour as Miley and Hannah Montana. Don't even get us started on the merchandise. They've tried to duplicate the success with other Disney stars, but this was lightning in a bottle.

'Phil of the Future' (2004 - 2006)

If Phil wasn't your biggest celebrity crush in 2005, what were you even doing with your life?
