The Worst Shows You Used to Watch When You Were a Kid - I.E. Childhood shows that make you cringe in retrospect.

Thundercats was my thing as a kid. I don't think I can ever go back there.

Bonus points if you remember Silverhawks.

Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog was pretty much Irish Power Rangers. I thought it was bad back in 1990, and it hasn't aged well, although i do feel an odd sense of nostalgia when i think about it.

THE KREE-CHUR!!!!
I recall trying Tir Na Nog maybe fifteen years ago with some nerd buddies online. It definitely wasn't great but it seemed like it was trying pretty hard.

The sets and costumes were pretty good, i'd say A for effort there. The acting on the other hand... although i can't really complain too much, all things considered.

See this is why I wasn't reading this topic--I knew I'd hear eighties cartoon bashing. Which you should not do ;)

Though that being said:

For me there's a couple, but most notably the original three Nicktoons: Rugrats, Doug, and Ren & Stimpy.

Of those three, Doug is the only one I can see myself returning to. Rugrats was one of those shows where I think I only watched it because it was a cartoon and I needed something on whatever morning slot it occupied. Ren and Stimpy was the first time I actually ever felt myself outgrow a cartoon in my actual childhood.

Most of the time for me the big "I can't go back" shows are things like English dubs of anime after I've seen the Japanese original. So its less "show I can't return to" and more "particular version I can't return to."
 
The Butt Ugly Martians. Came out in the 00s, looks worse than some 90s CGI. Had a theme song that sticks in your head though.
