It’s 2019, and Disney+ is finally coming to take our money and give it to the Mouse Empire, unless you’re like some people and (allegedly) live a pirate’s life.
While shows such as The Mandalorian, a Monsters Inc. TV show, and various Marvel shows for the side players are in development, what about their older, iconic shows?
Here are some shows The Mouse House would have to have for me to cough up some green. Not counting currently airing shows like Ducktales, Big City Greens, Star vs. The Forces of Evil, or Milo Murphy's Law.

A show that was, for all intents and purposes, far too ahead of it’s time, Fillmore! was a cop-crime drama. Extortion, bum raps, kidnapping, threats, hostage holding, death of the author - Oh yeah, it was also animated and took place in an extremely extensive middle school following a league of safety patrollers. The main characters of Fillmore and Third are no-nonsense law abiding citizens, and quite possibly, the last good cops.
The parody style placed on thick line art and the serious tone on middle school problems gives a hilarious air of absurdity that works spectacularly well. & Orlando Brown could probably use some of those residuals.
Some Episodes: The Shreds Fell Like Snowflakes, A Cold Day at X

If you’re asking yourself what the hell Right Now Kapow is, you’re not alone. It’s got that ugly The Problem Solverz style but without being as busy and irritating as that show.
It was actually pretty funny, but lasted only a season.
Some Episodes: Honestly, I don't remember. It was an animated sketch show in the vein of SNL for children.

Kim Possible, the high school freelance hero/vigilante. Popular, competent honor student fighting a variety of middle aged criminals with her sidekick/best friend Ron. And everyone knew she did this shit, too, that's what made this so refreshing! It didn’t necessarily get “deep”, but it was always an action-packed blast.
In “honor” of her live action DCOM hitting small screens next month after last being seen nearly 12 (!!!) years ago, Kim Possible and her 4 seasons deserve to be seen as intended (animated, cool, snappy), and since they’re not on Youtube in any decent audio quality, this would be the perfect location for The Girl Who Can Do Anything.
And it would introduce a new generation of kids to Christina Millian!
Some Episodes: Return to Camp Wannaweep, Stop Team Go

Leave it to the black cartoons to “keep it real” with topics like Islamophobia, selling out, Kwanzaa, and obnoxious people in wheelchairs played by Shia LeBeouf, The Proud Family. It’s still the only Disney animated show to be exclusively produced by Disney Television’s animation branch (It was produced by Jambalaya Studios by one Bruce Wayne [I know] Smith, who was also a supervising animator on many hand drawn Disney films!).
It also features notable black actors and singers in guest roles like Gabrielle Union, Solange, Al Roker, Mariah Carey
Some Episodes: Hip-Hop Helicopter, Romeo Must Wed (with Dante Basco, of course!)

From “Paul and Joe” comes another series that holds up remarkably well, Recess. It’s like Fillmore! but with the spirit, trials, and tribulations of childhood as opposed to adolescence that parodied a wider variety of genres. The bright art and imagination of children touching upon things like fads and video games makes this still a relatively timeless show.
P & J’s followup, Lloyd in Space could be on the service too. I mean, I’m not in charge, if Iger wants to put it on there, go ahead. It just wasn’t as good as Recess.
Some Episodes: One Stayed Clean, Economics of Recess

Oh, Motorcity. Not nearly as old as many shows on this list, and chronically shortlived, even shorter than Fillmore!
Why? Not because it took place in the futuristic apocalyptic underground wasteland of Detroit, but because Disney XD would air the new episodes, yes the NEW ones, at 12 AM. On Monday.
Why.
The series ran for technically less than a year, cancelled before it even concluded (Though, thankfully, we got all of the episodes aired). While Titmouse Studios is trying to get the rights back to continue it with a company who cares, maybe Disney+ is just what they needed to jump-start a second season.
Some Episodes: The Duke of Detroit Presents, Battle for Motorcity
I really could have added so many more -
The Buzz on Maggie, Fish Hooks, Phineas and Ferb, The Replacements, Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, Teamo Supremo, Wander Over Yonder, The 7D....but I'll leave it to ya'll to bemoan "How could you miss [show that came out in the 90s when I was like 3], OP?!"
