Our favorite childhood staples have been crushing our spirits for awhile, and quite frankly, we’re sick of it. Bill Cosby ruined The Cosby Show for us with each bit of news that surfaces about his alleged rape incidents. Most recently, WWE wrestling great Hulk Hogan was caught making racist remarks in leaked footage, and used the N-word several times to prove his point (oh, brother!). And let’s not forget how Kevin Clash almost had us cursing the ever-lovable Elmo and his name.

Well, never fear! There are some childhood favorites that just can’t be tainted no matter what. Seriously, scroll through our list of our favorite childhood joys that will always comfort us, stored in our memory banks.

1. G.I. Joe

 

Who doesn’t love an American hero?

2. Care Bears

 

Admit it, your heart is gushy right now.

We all wished we could run as fast as him.

We’re sure this inspired many a career.

Some of us have never solved one, but that never stopped us from trying.

We literally had the world in our hands! (Or in this case, pizza.)

She made it okay to let our imagination loose.

Donnie Simpson was too smooth for words.

From Hook to Mrs. Doubtfire and Popeye to Aladdin, Williams brought his characters to life, and we loved him for it.

16. Inspector Gadget

 

He probably wouldn’t have solved many cases if it wasn’t for Penny (voiced by Cree Summer), but who cares? The theme song was enough to get you through the entire show.

17. All That

It was our version of Saturday Night Live that we watched week after week.

18. Shari Lewis

 

How could the woman who brought us Lamb Chop ever do us wrong?
