Mr. Dress-up (with Casey and Finnigan) and The Friendly Giant (with Rusty the Rooster and Jerome the Giraffe).
Thundercats and Silver hawks. I loved those shows!
Scooby and Thundarr the Barbarian
I remember the little peanut creatures!
🎶Reading-rain-bow🎵
Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents. I still watch it to this day
Simpsons
Anything from golden age Cartoon Network (dexter, coward the dog etc)
Hard to choose to be honest… but Avatar for sure. And maybe Powerpuff Girls? Kenan & Kel? Mythbusters (if it counts?)?
Pokémon (grew up with seasons one to four)
The Angry Beavers
Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?
3-2-1 Contact
David the Gnome
Contact! Let’s make CONNN-tact!
Simpsons and In Living Color (I was a latchkey kid)
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.
Andy Griffith Show
Bugs Bunny/ Looney Tunes cartoons
When I was sick I got to watch reruns of Andy, Dukes of Hazard, and I love Lucy.
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.
Futurama and ATLA
Futurama isn’t exactly what I would let my kids watch, but ok.
Sure, but it’s way less raunchy or suggestive than Family Guy.
Usually.
Modern Family Guy especially.
I still say the first 5 seasons of Family Guy were when it was at its best. There are some funny/good episodes after that, like the Star Wars ones, and And Then There Were Fewer (the Clue 2-parter), and imo a lot of the ones where we follow Carter.
Though American Dad is still leagues better imo. It’s a little more absurd, but it’s a better fit for the stories they want to tell there.
The episodes after Brian got killed and resurrected have gone off the deep end in terms of being outright sadistic, though.
