Transformers
Thunder cats
Mask
Dino riders
Mask & Dino Riders were created with the same thought process as transformers: make a show to sell toys…
That shit worked, lol! I had the motorcycle helicopter & a pterodactyl with missile launchers. I wanted that T-Rex so bad, but that was like $100 in 80’s money and was not happening.
Brave Star was my favorite, though.
I had the motorcycle with sidecar submarine.
Samurai Pizza Cats. My grandma would have tapes of it so whenever I went over to my grandma’s house, chances are this show would be playing at some point haha. The episode I remember the most is the one with the dragon.
I used to love catching this on a TV channel early in the morning before having to go out to the school bus stop.
Inspector Gadget
Pinky and the Brain.
Although now as a middle aged man, Bluey.
Bluey is GOAT level.
Between the Lions. There were far too many Dad puns for my little brain to handle. It broke me

Dexter’s Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Power Puff Girls
Wren and Stimpy?
They were too weird for me in my early teens, I first got them years later.
Ed, Edd, and Eddie
Courage the Cowardly Dog
Pluto TV is missing out in not making a deal with whoever the owner of CN is, those classics deserve their spot there…
In the meantime I am happily using DizqueTV to make my own channels 😂
Adult Swim has Checkered Past, and they air Courage and Ed, Edd and Eddy
They also air Billy and Mandy and What a Cartoon as well
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’m EST. Maybe you are central time? Bill Nye was on at 5pm on PBS for me
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
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!”
Wtf no one said TOM&JERRY??
I used to watch a lot of Boomerang in Latin America, they aired either OG Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry for 1 hour daily
The background art in the early ones was beautiful.
I had a love/hate relationship with that show because I felt so sorry for Tom. Kept watching it though so clearly it did something right.
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”
Make sure you check out the documentary that was released last month on YouTube! It’s called ReBoot Rewind.
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.
