Contact! Let’s make CONNN-tact!
Simpsons and In Living Color (I was a latchkey kid)
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited
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.
What were yours?
I think it’s gotta be Arthur and Rugrats
Solid choices
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.
Pokémon (grew up with seasons one to four)
The Angry Beavers
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.
Star Trek: Voyager and Murder, She Wrote
WOW! Decades apart!
Reruns/syndication. I don’t think I watched much of either as they originally aired, not old enough yet or not alive in the case of MSW. We just had free antennae channels, so weeknight evenings were lots of syndicated shows.
MASH was another common one but I didn’t like it as much. I found Alan Alda annoying and the Klinger schtick weird.
Zaboomafoo, Dragon Ball
Loved Zabu!
Thundercats and Silver hawks. I loved those shows!
Buffy. Not exactly a kid show, but I was a kid when I watched it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
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.
He-Man on Saturday morning, and Alf during prime time!
No problem!
Spongebob and Fairly Odd Parents. I still watch it to this day
