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

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!"
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
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
Johnny Bravo
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.
Jem and the Holograms
Danger Mouse
The Smurfs
The Snorks
The Jetsons
David the Gnome
Marsupilami
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.
Wtf no one said TOM&JERRY??
I used to watch a lot of Boomerang in Latin America, they aired either OG Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry for 1 hour daily

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"

Rugrats Marsupilami Spider-Man Gargoyles
Not tv cartoons, but cartoons either way: Mortadelo y FilemΓ³n AstΓ©rix
Static Shock, Kim Possible, Darkwing Duck
People have already mentioned SpongeBob, so I will go with Freakazoid and The Tick.
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
Pirates of Dark Water was such an underrated show. It still makes me mad that it got canceled.

Then or now?
5 year old me: She-Ra
10 year old me: maybe Bugs Bunny honestly
Adult me: Bluey hands down forever. And my kids like it too.
