Between the Lions. There were far too many Dad puns for my little brain to handle. It broke me

For pure nostalgia, the answer would be Franklin.
For the wacky antics it’d definitely be a tie between Ed Edd n’ Eddy and Codename Kids Next Door. What other shows can you get a cursed telephone that causes suffering and an elevator made of junk that leads to the moon for EEnE? Or for KND have a whole zoo filled with kids as the exhibits so childless parents can throw peanuts at them while also having an episode where a man who looks like a baby use his cigar to connect to a global satellite web to try and turn everyone else into babies?
Inspector Gadget
South east Asia:
Voltes V
Mazinger Z
Daimos
Macross
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.
What happened to Tazmanian Devil?
Do you mean Taz Mania or the original Taz shorts (Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies)?
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.
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.
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
Pinky and the Brain.
Although now as a middle aged man, Bluey.
Bluey is GOAT level.
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!”
My all time favorite was Robotech, though it has not aged well.
I also went through a lot of Disney in my youth:- Gummi Bears
- Duck tales
- Darkwing Duck
And then there was the smattering of others:
- Dungeons and Dragons
- Thundercats
Don’t forget Chip and Dale’s Rescue Rangers
Robotech
Blew my little mind away
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
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
