Dexter's Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, Power Puff Girls
Pinky and the Brain.
Although now as a middle aged man, Bluey.
Bluey is GOAT level.
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 was about to type about tom and jerry lmao
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.
Make sure you check out the documentary that was released last month on YouTube! It's called ReBoot Rewind.

Danger Mouse
The Smurfs
The Snorks
The Jetsons
David the Gnome
Marsupilami
Came here to say David the Gnome, just rewatched it recently and loved it. Never met someone else in real life who has ever seen it.
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.
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.
Static Shock, Kim Possible, Darkwing Duck
Then or now?
5 year old me: She-Ra
10 year old me: maybe Bugs Bunny honestly
Adult me: Bluey hands down forever. And my kids like it too.
The new she-ra is rad.
totally
Invader zim
Gargoyles, Batman The Animated Series, X-Men, Exosquad, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain. Liked them equally.
Basically any fantasy cartoon that featured a voyage or some kind of quest was a favorite when I was little.
Pirates of Dark Water was such an underrated show. It still makes me mad that it got canceled.
Dungeons & Dragons is such a classic. I still watch it on occasion.
Robotech
SpongeBob. The early seasons were and still are god-tier
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.
Goof Troop
TaleSpin
People have already mentioned SpongeBob, so I will go with Freakazoid and The Tick.
Starblazers
My all time favorite was Robotech, though it has not aged well.
I also went through a lot of Disney in my youth:
And then there was the smattering of others:
Avatar The Last Airbender. Iβm in my early 30s and do a rewatch almost every year.
90 minutes of Looney Tunes.
Arabian Nights. The adventures, Jeenie, Magic carpet, Abu, and everything was awesome.
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.
South east Asia:
Voltes V
Mazinger Z
Daimos
Macross
Transformers
Thunder cats
Mask
Dino riders
Rugrats Marsupilami Spider-Man Gargoyles
Not tv cartoons, but cartoons either way: Mortadelo y FilemΓ³n AstΓ©rix
Tiny Toon Adventures, then Animaniacs.
Kinda giving away my age, but Animaniacs was right around the time I just started appreciating characters such as Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse.
SpongeBob
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited
Starblazers
Robotech
Battle of the Planets
Dinosaucers
Space Pirate Captain Harlock
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.
Thundercats original series, and the original Dungeons & Dragons.
It's a Dutch show that was beautifully drawn and animated in Japan. It still looks fantastic and it takes you seriously as the material is quite mature. It's about ww2, sort of like deep space 9. There's a lot of world exploration and adventure and it adresses societal issues. The only bummer is that the gender norms are quite old fashioned so it might not be appropriate for your kids based on your views.
