“Kids” in quotations because sometimes “kids” shows aren’t really just for children, judging by their nuanced jokes.
Could be old, could be new.
I like a lot, two that stand out lately are Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and Star Trek: Prodigy.
Going back a ways, Reboot and Beast Wars. (Reboot, upon relatively recent revisit earlier this year, has a few jokes that I certainly wouldn’t have gotten as a kid nor even as a teen.)
You?
Rick and Morty, Prodigy, Lower Decks, all the Star Wars stuff.
Shin Chan
That nobody ever brings up Centaurworld is a crime.
Yall missed out on and still sleep on it.
My toddler has become obsessed with Sonic the Hedgehog, but it’s been hard to find any age appropriate stuff for him from that franchise. We recently discovered Sonic Boom, which is not only not too violent or scary for him, but is also legitimately funny. A nice surprise, since the only thing I knew about Boom was that the tie-in game was the worst Sonic game since Sonic '06.
I’m surprised that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic hasn’t been mentioned. For me it and ATLA are good for eternal rewatching.
Totally Spies, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, PPG, Courage The Cowardly Dog, Tom & Jerry, Flinstones, Looney Tunes, Masha and Bear, Larva, and many more.
Just recently finally finished Adventure Time. The Fiona and Cake series on HBO is great (for adults though).
Avatar both Aang and Korra, easily some of the best characters and world building for a kids show
Zoids
Teen titans
Lot of the nickelodeon shows around early 2000s SpongeBob, fairy odd parents, jimmy neutron, Danny phantom. They kinda were releasing bangers for awhile
Adventure time I watched as an adult and really enjoyed it
Almost anything Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters. I only exclude the Michael Bay TMNT and the two recent Ghostbusters movies, everything else is great.
Reboot and Beast Wars were also two of my favorites when I was young. I’ve rewatched Reboot, I’m going to have to find Beast Wars. Now I’m going to have to find my Beast Wars toys too.
Not including my top show ever despite being too old for it, Franklin ( that preschool show ablutnthe turtle ), I’m going with Summer Camp Island as maybe 2nd place right now since I started rewatching it again. 6 seasons of a show starting off fairly episodic before coming together to tell what I consider a beautiful ending, even if it kinda feels like they had a network rush placed on them. Absolutely LOVE the final episode.
Though I have also been rewatching Code Lyoko since they have a full dedicated channel to the English dub of the show on yt. One of my all time favorite kids sci-fi TV shows period. Giant foreheaded minors attending a boarding school and fighting a virus capable of doing impossible tasks like making teddy bears turn into giant monsters or take control of rats to cause a plague or something along those lines? What’s not to love?
Gravity Falls and Steven Universe are the first two to pop into my head. Both start out having pretty self contained episodes before opening up to a big story arc. I think Star Wars Rebels gets overlooked even though it has seems to have less filler than Clone Wars did.
My kids are no where near the target demo anymore, but we’ve watch all of Bluey as a family too. The number of times I’ve teared up at that show is ridiculous.
I’m also a fan of the Adventures of Pete and Pete, Rocko’s Modern Life, Invader Zim, and Magus XLR but they all have a heavy dose of nostalgia for me too.
Oh yes, Gravity Falls and (at least the first couple seasons of) Bluey!
I rather liked Prinze as Kanan in Rebels. (Also just enjoyed it in general.)
Clone Wars has an (IIRC official) episode guide I used the last time that was pretty good to get past most of the filler. Last few seasons were amazing for the most part.
The Owl House, for sure.
Also, Infinity Train comes to mind.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Invader Zim (obviously…)
Phineas and Ferb
Powerpuff girls
Steven Universe has a really special place in my heart it’s really a show for all ages with the themes it grapples with in many episodes.
