This shouldn’t be the answer because it’s not really for kids. But it is, and will always be, The Simpsons.
Every evening at 6pm on UPN I would watch the Simpsons with my dad. I went from watching and understanding Bart to now watching with my daughter and seeing it through Homer’s eyes.
As a kid, I would always flip on the TV for the evening episode of the Simpsons too haha! Except I swear for me it was 5pm.
I have a soft spot for Hey Arnold! and Rugrats… If I had to pick one from another but Nick that would be Courage The Cowardly Dog.
Static Shock, Kim Possible, Darkwing Duck
I used to be scared of Tintin for some reason, but loved to sit around watching it.
90 minutes of Looney Tunes.
Starblazers
Robotech
Battle of the Planets
Dinosaucers
Space Pirate Captain Harlock

Gargoyles, Batman The Animated Series, X-Men, Exosquad, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain. Liked them equally.
I would have never memorized the presidents without Yakko, Wakko and Dot
Heck yeah! Great rhymes.
I can’t drive by rock climbing gyms without singing “Cliff Hanger!”
Goof Troop
TaleSpin
As a kid in the '70s, all the cartoons on Wednesday afternoons kids matinee…Vicky the Viking, Maya the Bee, Heidi, Remi, Pink Panther & Hong Kong Phooey.
The Tick.
I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.
I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.
I’ll throw in EEK! The Cat in with the hilarious and witty parodies
Reboot
It may not be the answer I gave at the time, but it’s the best balance now of “liked it as a kid” and “like it as an adult”
I’m terrified of rewatching it and it not living up to my nostalgia.
A documentary was released on the show last month. During production they were given the original master tapes for the show and have been slowly releasing all of the episodes in glorious 4k for free on YouTube. Check them out - they hold up to nostalgia better than you’d expect.
Alphanumeric!
Make sure you check out the documentary that was released last month on YouTube! It’s called ReBoot Rewind.
What happened to Tazmanian Devil?
Do you mean Taz Mania or the original Taz shorts (Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies)?
Basically any fantasy cartoon that featured a voyage or some kind of quest was a favorite when I was little.
- The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
- Dungeons & Dragons
- Pirates of Dark Water
- Conan the Adventurer
Pirates of Dark Water was such an underrated show. It still makes me mad that it got canceled.
People have already mentioned SpongeBob, so I will go with Freakazoid and The Tick.
