What Lizzie McGuire should have been:

Lizzie sits at the lunch tables staring longingly at the cool kid table.

Cartoon Lizzie pokes her head out from the side of screen: I have a secret. I am in love with the most popular kid at school.

Pause on Ethan Craft shoving food into his mouth. Record scratch noise.

Cartoon Lizzie comes out and puts her hands on her hips: Uh. Not him. The OTHER most popular kid at school!

Video rewind effect to pause on Kate Sanders making a disgusted face at Ethan.
