What were some of your favorite shows as a kid?

[Scolopendra Dramatica]

Tom and Jerry, Whacky Races and Catch the Pigeon, Pokémon, card captors and Digimon, Zap, Spiderman, Batman, Xmen and Turtles, Bag puss, Andy Pandy, Spot the dog, The worst Witch, a bit of Powerpuff girls, Courage the cowardly dog, rugrats and The wild Thornberrys.

On the flipside I HATED cow and chicken, catdog, that weird house of imaginary monsters and the butt ugly martains if anyone else remembers that. I also hated live action shit, Biker Grove, Keenan and Kel or anything with puppets and presenters; Mr Blobby scared the ever loving shit out of me, Roland the rat and that zipmouth thing gave me nightmares. My one exception was Muppets Treasure Island, where the story and songs were too good to pass up and the puppets weren't quite so grim.

[Mister Baranavichy]

I used to be sat down at my work desk to study from the moment my family got home, but on the off-chance that they needed to leave to run some errands I would be able to go to the living room TV and this was the only thing that was ever on.

Unironically, this show grew on me hard, even made me want to go watch the movie they had planned to release, but even then I knew I couldn't ask to go see it, my father would've killed me.

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

I liked The Wayans Bros. before they exploded into the mainstream with the early Scary Movie entries and White Chicks

 

[Site of Origin]

SWAT Cats, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, ReBoot, Gundam Wing, and lot of the old classic cartoons by Tex Avery and Looney Toons, and Batman the Animated Series.

 

[likeacrackado]

The Pokemon anime, Yu-Gi-Oh GX(never watched the original), The original Teen Titans cartoon, Avatar: The Last Airbender, World War Two in Color, and my favorite: Greatest Tank Battles.

 

[Crocodylus Acutus]

World War Two in Color, and my favorite: Greatest Tank Battles.

Someone else who was into military history as a kid. WW2 stuff was my bread and butter as a child.

Someone else who was into military history as a kid. WW2 stuff was my bread and butter as a child.

I watched a ton of the Military Channel when I was a kid. The History channel was already a trash heap of reality shows and Ancient Aliens shit by the time I could hold the remote. Its too bad they turned it into the "American Heroes Channel" as an excuse to fill it with Investigation Discovery reruns.

 

[Ainchiemi]

More, Alvin and the chipmunks(1987), scooby-doo(where are you to a pup named), ed, add n eddy, camp lazlo, tiny toon adventures, and ren and stimpy.

 

[Power Ranger Monster]

Spoiler: Take a wild fucking guess

UltraForce

That Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon wasn't too bad either.

[Huh what?]

I grew up without cable TV for a while, so it was mostly this guy and whatever else was on PBS at the time.

 

[starborn427614]

If you had cable as a kid in the 90's and early 2000's, you were pretty much golden when it came to good shit to watch via The Big Three.

These were some of my favourites:

Nickelodeon
Hey Arnold
Kenan & Kel
Rugrats OG
Kerblam!
Clarissa Explains It All

Cartoon Network
Dexters Laboratory
Powerpuff Girls OG
Samurai Jack
Ed, Edd n Eddy
Outlaw Star (Via Toonami)

The Disney Channel
Recess
Hercules the TV Show
Gargoyles
Boy Meets World

I could go on forever. This is without including channels like Fox Kids/Jetix and the likes too. Call it nostalgia, but TV did genuinely feel more entertaining back then.

[Pokemon Conquistador]

Pirates of Dark Water ruled. Can't believe no one's tried to make a woke reboot of that, yet.

I used to watch science shows as a kid like the original 3-2-1 Contact and Newton's Apple. They were nice and straightforward and didn't need to throw a bunch of 90's Extreeeeeme crap at kids in order to keep them engaged.

I also liked fantasy, like The Smurfs, (which had great music, most of it classical) and Thundarr the Barbarian (which had a killer opening credits scene where the Earth got destroyed.) I also watched Doctor Who on PBS with Tom Baker, because our local station would air an entire serial at once and it was a great way to waste a Sunday.
