Do you ever wish you could go back in time? See what things were like, how people lives and what they talked about? With throwback films and television, you can!
Since we are in the 2020s, films and TV from the 2000s and 2010s can now be considered old-school. The 2010s were the last era before streaming really took off, so as you may or may not remember, whatever came on TV or hit the theater had to be good.
If you’re on an old school, throwback binge, you’ll definitely want to add these series and films to your watch list!
1. SpongeBob Squarepants Season One
When some of us were kids, and the topic of SpongeBob came up, we would make a clear distinction between the “old SpongeBob” and the “new SpongeBob.” You may not be old enough to remember, but for a time, the popular children’s series took a break and came back with a host of new episodes. If you’re a new-timer, you may want to check out the season that started it all. Can we get an, “I’m ready?”
2. Glee
Those who lived through the Glee era will never forget the passionate, largely offline fandom behind this hit musical series. Now a modern-day historic classic, Glee captured the hearts of many with relatable life stories told from the perspective of a group of misfit teens who just wanted to sing their stress away. Watch this if you’re in the mood for a heart-felt high school tear-jerker!
3. The Great Debaters
The Great Debaters was a big deal when it came out back in 2007! Everyone remembers the adult figure from childhood who pushed hard and helped them achieve greatness. In this movie, that figure is Denzel Washington who plays a 1930s HBCU debate coach. Through various rigorous training exercises, the predominantly Black team went on to challenge Harvard in a championship debate.
4. Teen Wolf
Back in the day, it was all about vampires and werewolves. Teen Wolf is one of the last major TV series from that 2000’s era frenzy. It’s a classic supernatural teen drama in which an average 16-year-old boy gets bitten by a werewolf and then becomes one. The teen must balance saving his town from threats they can’t even see with the daily hassle of high school.
5. Survivor
Before reality TV was ever really a thing, there was Survivor. It’s not the first reality television show, but it definitely counts as one of the most popular of the early 2000s. It’s kind of like the old school conversation starter, “if you were stranded on an island with nothing more than the clothes on your back, what would you do?” The show’s contestants, also referred to as castaways, answer this question throughout the series, and whoever is tough enough to stick it out to the end wins!
