Shows That Kept You Glued to Your Screen in the 2000s

by Michelle Guedez Zapata

There are plenty of shows that took teenagers line, hook, and sinker. If you’re looking for shows to see, or want to relive some of that nostalgia, look no further. Here’s our favorite teen shows from the 2000s. 

1. Gilmore Girls

Gilmore Girls aired on the WB every Tuesday. The mother-daughter duo, Lorelai and Rory, played respectively by Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, charmed millions of viewers around the world. From following Lorelai’s crazy adventures and fights with her mother, to Rory’s high school and college years, Gilmore Girls explored mother-daughter relationships with sharp wit, humor, and fast-talking. This slice of life drama had us laughing and crying and always had us wishing we were living in Stars Hallow. The Gilmore Girls were reunited in 2016 on Netflix for four episodes, reigniting many debates of what boyfriend was best with Rory. Is it Logan, Jesse, or Dean? Doesn’t matter, they all stole some hearts anyway. 

2. Gossip Girl 

Could we ever forget the show that introduced us to Blake Lively’s beachy locks? Or Blair Waldorf’s style and sizzling comebacks? Gossip Girl aired on CW and had millions of teenage girls hooked. On the show, an anonymous blog titled Gossip Girl followed our protagonists through the streets of the Upper East Side in New York City. We follow the crew through their high school and college years, as they navigate their lives in a world of glitz, glamour, and knives in the back. The mystery of who Gossip Girl is almost doesn’t even matter in the end.

3. Degrassi 

Degrassi is a Canadian national treasure. It found its last season last year, after bringing a rotating cast of characters in the same school for the course of fourteen seasons. Degrassi stood the test of time. Its writers never shied away  from topics such as depression, self-harm, suicide, religion, sexuality, teen pregnancy, and many more. If it’s a societal issue, Degrassi has covered it. Did you know it was also part of Drake’s old acting life? That’s right! This one is worth checking out, but if you don’t want it, you’ll find yourself six generations in.

4. Zoey 101

Who didn’t want to go to PCA? Zoey 101 is one of the first ever shows of its type of Nickelodeon. Geared towards a teenage audience, Zoey 101 was one of the first shows on the network to not feature a laughing track, which allowed it to be flexible with its genre. While we had laughs with the PCA students, we also got to see moments in which the characters showed more vulnerability. Overall, Zoey 101 is a fun show. Will we ever know what Zoey said to Chase on that tape, though? Who knows.

5. Veronica Mars

This teen drama is a noir mystery starring Kristen Bell. In the recent years, it has been making a comeback with a new movie and show on Hulu thanks to its very vocal fanbase. This one is worth watching so you’re not out of the loop! Kristen Bell shines as sarcastic now-outcast Veronica Mars who fights crime (like a girl!) in her town of Neptune, California.

Once I was a soldier / And I fought on foreign sands for you / Once I was a hunter / And brought home fresh meat for you

Once I was a lover / And I searched behind your eyes for you / And soon there'll be another / To tell you I was just a lie

And sometimes I wonder / Just for a while / Will you ever remember me

And though you have forgotten / All of our rubbish dreams / I find myself searching / Through the ashes of our ruins

For the days when we smiled / And the hours that ran wild / With the magic of our eyes / And the silence of our words

And sometimes I wonder / Just for a while / Will you ever remember me

I can't help but think about the tragedy of blairena as of lately. Both women want to be individuals so badly and they want to be each other's best friends forever and ever, yet they never give each other the proper space to do that. Serena, as I mentioned earlier today, builds herself in the image of the people she loves to make sure that they won't leave her because if she has learned one thing from the UES is that everybody just views other's as an extention of themselves. So if Serena is this golden sunflower of a person, who is kind to everybody and is good with adults and can brighten up the room with just her smile, then there is no reason for anyone to leave her. because who could ever leave that??

It's almost like Serena had repressed so much of her negative traits for so long that by season three or four it just was.... inevitable, maybe? that the audience would turn on her. Because she is the opposite of Blair. Whereas Blair is cold and cruel to anyone she doesn't find worthy, but becomes kinder and softer the more you know her, Serena is the reverse. It's not that Serena is a bad person, but she has just repressed herself for so long just to make sure that others will see her as "relevant." Blair doesn't cower when she is insulted, she absorbs that power and responds in kind. Blair doesn't care what "lower society" thinks of her because she knows who the important people are in her life l, and she isn't afraid to cut them out if needed.

But I digress. These two have known each other for so long, they were each other's True First Love, and as they got older, they still had the mentality of children, one petty fight after the other, just to make up with a simple I'm sorry. They were the heart of the show, but the writers never gave them time to be anything outside of their relationships with each other and boys. They tried to grow and become independent (Blair in s4, Serena in s5), but they always let their emotional immaturity be their downfall.

IN LOVE WITH YOUR THEME STARS!!!! THAT BLAIR PICTURE IS 💞💞✨️💫💖💖💖

🥰🥰Mais🥰🥰

Thank you! I have been done with winter, and I'm ready for spring. I, too, love the blair picture lol. idk, she's a silly goose, and I sometimes feel like we don't have physical evidence of that. Then I see a photo like this.

[insistonyourcupofstars]

Wait! I was scrolling through Sena's blog (of course) and I just noticed this!

It kind of gives into the idea that all of these kids are lonely, despite being surrounded by people. Serena is the golden girl, so of course no one would be her friend because they are either intimidated by her, or scared of Blair's wrath. Blair is alone at this party because Nate has left her (because of Serena’s arrival? I don't remember), and now she sees Serena with a new boy and it's like she never left, but Blair feels that loneliness. So it's almost like time has moved backwards, but Blair still feels that pain. Then you have Nate, who has so much inner turmoil going on because of The Event, and has emotionally isolated himself from his girlfriend (who he loves! but maybe not in the way that was expected of them), he can't rely on his homelife for mental and emotional security, and the girl he is in love with left him without any warning and wants nothing to do with him. Dan practically blends into the crowd and you really wouldn't notice him if the camera's focus wasn't on him (which is like... duh, but I hope you guys catch what I mean). The only thing that marks his difference is that while everyone else is facing forwards, he is looking to the side, a direction in-between back and front (almost like how the UES is its own world, in-between issues of the common wealth and of royalty that doesn't truly affect them). But what does he get if he faces forward? Divorced parents, no friends, a life as the invisible boy that no one cares to look at. But what's to the side? A girl. A girl who, to him, is an escape from his life.

All these kids are so lonely, and I think these shots were purposeful. Of course, semantics; shots look good whenever you center frame a shot with characters, that's obvious. But looking deeper, you see their loneliness and how delicate their lives are.

Of a song I can't get out

Can I be close to you?
