Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents. I still watch it to this day
Hard to choose to be honest… but Avatar for sure. And maybe Powerpuff Girls? Kenan & Kel? Mythbusters (if it counts?)?
Simpsons
Anything from golden age Cartoon Network (dexter, coward the dog etc)
Pokémon (grew up with seasons one to four)
The Angry Beavers
Out of Animaniacs, Scooby Doo, Power Rangers, Dexter’s Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, Angry Beavers, Road Rovers, Rugrats, CatDog, Hey Arnold, The Wild Thornberrys, SpongeBob (Seasons 1-3), Arthur, Little Bear, Cow and Chicken, Ren and Stimpy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Ed Edd n Eddy, Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Fairly Oddparents, Jimmy Neutron, Reboot…
If I had to narrow those down, I’d say Animaniacs and Grim Adventures but damn it’s really hard to choose just two.
While 6 yr old me and 16 year old me w of uld have wildly different opinions, the most significant 2 that I still love today as much as back then are:
The Simpsons, and Batman the Animated Series
Many things I’ve seen since then can’t top those two.
Candle Cove
I still can’t believe my parents let me watch this.
X-Men
A second is really hard to pick though. There’s so many great kids shows from that time, if I picked one it would just be at random. Maybe Rocko’s Modern Life, because the absurdity of it stands out more than many others.
Original power rangers, samurai pizza cats.
Simpsons and In Living Color (I was a latchkey kid)
Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?
3-2-1 Contact
David the Gnome
Chocky - 1980s UK kids sci-fi shows.
A-team and Star Treck TOS.
Both on BW actually.
That shows my age i guess.
The local PBS station carried a science show called Newton’s Apple. Not only was the content amazing to a nerdy kid, the theme song was way too cool for a PBS show.
That and Animaniacs.
Well, I was pretty big into Magic School Bus for a while when I was still of the age to be watching that sorta thing, as in I had some VHS tapes of that show, and tbh its animation still holds up really well 30+ years on (RIP Nelvana unless things change for the better for them; they’re pretty much a licensing company now for the time being), and oh, for davidgro, this was another PBS show that had a banger theme song, made by the late Little Richard, and I remember liking Clifford and Arthur well enough too.
Rugrats was also one of my earliest memories in this regard and I liked it a lot too, and it’s also really cute looking back onto it as well.
