7 Disney Shows That You Probably Forgot About

The term "Old Disney" has popped up from time to time on Tumblr, and it's usually in reference to shows from the early '00s. Shows like Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens and The Suite Life of Zach and Cody are often thought of as classic Disney shows. Now, granted these shows are 'old' compared to the current generation of Disney shows, but there was a time in Disney's history that predates actors like Hillary Duff, Shia Lebeouf, Aly Michalka and Dylan and Cole Sprouse. That time in Disney's history had several incredible shows that have apparently been forgotten about.

Disney, historically has had shows on various networks, and seeing at how massive of a conglomerate it is, that's not surprising. There were dozens of shows that were produced by Walt Disney Television going back as far as 1983 when it was formed in the first place. Over the years, they've re-branded and re-tooled the television division, but all of these shows fall under Walt Disney's massive umbrella. Here are 7 shows that you may have forgotten about.
