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"

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm terrified of rewatching it and it not living up to my nostalgia.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 11 months ago

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.

Alphanumeric!

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Make sure you check out the documentary that was released last month on YouTube! It's called ReBoot Rewind.

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.

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.

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Basically any fantasy cartoon that featured a voyage or some kind of quest was a favorite when I was little.

  • The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
  • Dungeons & Dragons
  • Pirates of Dark Water
  • Conan the Adventurer
[–] loaf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Dungeons & Dragons is such a classic. I still watch it on occasion.

[–] hakase@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Pirates of Dark Water was such an underrated show. It still makes me mad that it got canceled.

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.

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

Arabian Nights. The adventures, Jeenie, Magic carpet, Abu, and everything was awesome.

[–] Corno@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Hong Kong Phooey holds a weird place in my brain. Like, I love it, but not for any good reason.

Alfred Jodocus Kwak

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.

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Mighty Orbots, just for the theme song alone. Now that I think about it I will have that song stuck in my head all day.

[–] swordgeek@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Professor Kitzel.
