The best one that I loved that we watched at school was…THROUGH THE DRAGON’S EYE!

I loved everything on trouble, all the American teen shows you mentioned. I didn’t care they were all done by the same producer and very similar I watched them all 😂

I forgot these loved these
 
Does anybody remember Genie in the House? sitcom on Nickelodeon U.K., about a British family who end up having a genie living with them, the genie can grant wishes, teenage kids are forbade from making wishes but chaos ensues…. I used to love it.

Or more specifically I used to love the website 😆 there was a section on the website where you could message the genie and ask him questions, to grant you a wish, etc - and at the bottom of the message he would respond to you. I used to tell him all about my life 🙄🤣
There was a section where you could read scripts for the show as well, I don’t know how I did it but one day I managed to edit the scripts to say nonsense, adding my name in, making up stories about myself (I was convinced if the scripts were there they would ‘have’ to create an episode about me 🤨) - but the scripts saved like that. As in, you could see the edits made on other devices. typically I couldn’t recreate how I’d done it to revert the changes either!
So i apologise to whoever was running that website because I was a bleeping menace hahaha 😆

This has just made me remember about a show that had a family with an Egyptian mummy in the house. Can't remember what it was called.

I loved the queen's nose too, and Game on!
"As If" I used to love and thought they were all ridiculously cool and was in love with Rob.

There was also some Australian show I think it was the secret Life of us or something? It was far too grown up for me with lots of sex but it was good haha!

loved the secret life of us, most of it is on youtube!

I remember watching the last Alex mack episode but don't remember much else apart from Alex breaking into the bad company's building to try to expose them, the bad woman flying off in a helicopter to avoid being caught and the "useless" man that the bad woman always told to find the girl and he never managed to find her: actually knew it was Alex all along and just played dumb because he didn't want her to be hurt.

So much nostalgia reading this thread. Amazing how many shows you kind of forget about and then you see the name and you're taken back to your childhood.

See how they run is on YouTube. I'm going to rewatch it at some point! Although sometimes it ruins it when you watch something again as an adult and wonder why you liked something so rubbish 🙈 more of a teenage show than a childhood show but I tried watching Moesha on Netflix and I couldn't manage more than a few episodes 😂
