15 Disney Channel Shows From The ‘90s You Completely Forgot About https://t.co/C9L1gCieF7 via @MTVNews I loved The Torkelsons and Eerie Indiana @Disney

When people hear "Old Disney," a common tag on Tumblr, they tend to think of early '00s shows, such as Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire, and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. And while these are "old," in comparison to Disney shows of today, they're still newer than all the gems to come out of the '90s. Disney Channel created some seriously iconic series, but they seem to have fallen through the cracks of the Internet's memory.

Take a look at these 15 classics, both Disney Channel Original Series and ones aired in syndication on the network throughout the '90s. Oh, but we left off Boy Meets World, because seriously, did you really forget about that show? Short answer: No.

2: A couple of years before Omri Katz would light the black-flame candle in Hocus Pocus, he played Marshall Teller, a kid whose family moved to the bizarre town of Eerie, Indiana. Armed with his new friend Simon Holmes (Justin Shenkarow, who would go on to voice Harold on Hey Arnold! years later) Marshall dealt with creepy town mysteries and urban legends. Like The Torkelsons, the show also originally aired on NBC.

TV Goddess: 'Stranger Things' Season 3 - The Reykjavik Grapevine

[froodle]

I hope you’ve watched ‘Stranger Things 3’ because, if you haven’t, this will ruin it a little bit for you.

But first, a small introduction to Icelandic culture: The winter is long, blah blah blah, we watch American TV a lot and here we are on the third series of ‘Stranger Things.’ For people born in the seventies this is everything.

The brown and oranges of the early eighties are slowly making way for rainbows and glowing neon lights. Latchkey kids on their BMXs have to fend for themselves and save the world.

I can relate so hard to this Gremlins/Ghostbusters/Goonies/Eerie, Indiana stew that it makes my heart bleed slimy pink mystery goo. There is nothing wrong with this and I can watch it forever… but I have a few grievances (very minor, don’t worry).

It is obvious to me that this is written mostly by boys with cooties. Why else would all the men be so incredibly unattractive? Hopper is a grumpy dominating man and has ventured to the outer limits of the dad-bod aesthetic. Billy’s cowardly lion hair ruins everything else and when he turned evil I always snapped out of the fear because of his silly mullet perm and babyface. Jonathan is a boring worrywart. And then there’s Steve. I love his character development throughout the series. He evolves from a beautiful jerk to a beautiful semi-nice guy.

I just realized that objectifying young men is pretty disgusting so I’ll move along to the end. Suzie! Yeah I’m looking at you Suzie. Your song was only half-adorable and if you hadn’t made Dustin sing it with you Hopper might have lived. I didn’t want him to date Joyce, but I wanted him to be Eleven’s dad forever.

I’m personally holding you accountable, you little dweeb.

Werewolf Face on this year's Hocus Pocus merch

[froodle]

I gotta say I think most of the Hocus Pocus merch is a big miss. Like what dollar store goon designed this stuff.

Fuck that movie for never clarifying if the main kid is a "rap singer" or a "little leaguer"

— Corn Pop from the Romans (@chris_redar) September 2, 2019

I don’t actually think he was anything tbh

— 🎃Pumpkin Bitch🥧 (@WerewolfFace) September 2, 2019

Just like in real life OH SHIT GOT HIM

— Corn Pop from the Romans (@chris_redar) September 2, 2019

(I think hes actually a hairdresser, I looked up the cast semi-recently)

— Corn Pop from the Romans (@chris_redar) September 2, 2019

I mean how can you do any better than Erie, Indiana, and Hocus Pocus 🤷🏻‍♀️

— 🎃Pumpkin Bitch🥧 (@WerewolfFace) September 2, 2019

Fair point

EffieArtoria and StAlun on Eerie Indiana

[froodle]

I have just left my favourite green cardigan on a train. This means it's probably gone forever, as I have literally never recovered anything I've ever lost on a train.

— Steffan Alun (@StAlun) September 2, 2019

"where things you leave on the train go" seems like the exact plot of different kids sci-fi/horror shows from the 90s.

There's definitely an Eerie Indiana about it, if not a Goosebumps pic.twitter.com/cNuiFUOcSa

I love that show to bits.

A check for my hometown was one of those poster girls. Her name was Mary Margaret Humes.

That's the very one! That was right after she won Miss Thousand Islands. She was a runner-up in the Miss America Pageant but she broke down crying during the question-and-answer segment and it lost her points. Is like watching a hockey game.

2nd place ain't too shabby!

— FZ (@FilthyZinester) September 15, 2019

She was on the NBC show Eerie Indiana.

I skimmed her wikipedia page, she had quite the career!

4Plebs on the Are You Afraid of the Dark reboot

[froodle]

That show sucked, give me an eerie indiana reboot

I loved Eerie Indiana, but that show needs to stay dead. That 90's comfiness could not be replicated.

EerieIN.com at the Wayback Machine

[froodle]

If you've ever seen the Eerie Indiana tie-in books, you might have noticed the website advertised in the back pages: EerieIN.com

Surprising nobody, twenty years later this website no longer exists. However, parts of it are archived at the WayBack Machine.

Sadly, the snapshots from 1999 just show a white page with a parent directory, so we'll never get to see what frames-and-flash masterpiece was originally used to promote Eerie.

However, in 2001 an Eerie Indiana fan named MariaC bought the domain and turned it into the Eerie Examiner:
