Ask Lemmy

• Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers
• Duck Tales

And since it seems like you’re not shying away from shows with some fucked up things kids probably shouldn’t have watched but are kinda formative anyways

• Super Dimensional Fortress Macross

I found Freakazoid to be hilarious when I was in my teens, even though a lot of the jokes felt like they were written for my parents. It's a fairly short series too, at least compared to a lot of the other kids shows.

I may have missed them in the list but how about

The Marvellous Misadventures of Flapjack

Chowder

Catdog

Rocket Power

Ren & Stimpy

Doug

As Told by Ginger

The Wild Thornberrys

Johnny Bravo

Sharkey and George

I Am Weasel

Add just a little bit of 60s and 70s Hannah Barbara (Johnny quest, Scooby-Doo, old superhero shows) so that when they are older, you can show them Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law and GOATed of all time animated series The Venture Bros

No Hanna Barbera? You should throw a few in to mix it up. Like a Snagglepuss, one Huckleberry hound, and one Yogi Bear. The first season of Scooby Doo is iconic. Josie and the Pussy Cats was good. 60's Hanna would include the excellent Johnny Quest. I'd also throw in a singular Space Ghost and Herculoids to break things up.

Eek! The Cat.

Don't remember much about the episodes but I did used to watch it "religiously" as a kid.

You've already got all of my recommendations, but please alphabetically sort these so we can check more easily!

Total Drama Island and/or The Ridonculous Race (same universe). They're camp (hehe) but pretty good overall

I think the following would make great additions

Talespin

Garfield and Friends(seem to remember watching this one religiously as a kid, but more so for the “and friends” part. )

COPS was a weird one

Gotta have the Thundercats!

M.A.S.K

Gotta have X-Men just for the theme song at least lol

You have a bit of anime on there but I feel like pokemon and Dragonball z are missing. Simpsons could be added too.

These are all 90s cartoons, so if you can find them:

• Batman: The Animated Series (the one with Mark Hamill as the Joker)
• Animaniacs
• Tiny Toon Adventures
• Chip n' Dale's Rescue Rangers
• ~~Pinky and the Brain~~ Saw you have that one already

My specialty! Cartoons! No guarantees my opinions may not be basic or good!

• Code Lyoko ( can get a little dark at times and also characters with not just foreheads, but fiveheads ) ( also has maybe 2 or so scenes of an underage girl in just her undies/bra, but in a European kid friendly manner ) ( every episode is available on a dedicated official Code Lyoko ENG dub channel, and original dub on its own official channel as well )

• If you can somehow find it, Dofus: The Treasures of Kerubim ( Kerubs's Bazaar is apparently the, IMO, horrible English name ) ( same universe as Wakfu, but in a distant past I guess )

• Summer Camp Island ( 6 seasons that start off more episodic and start to get more serialized before the very serialized and probably rushed close to death final season ) ( summer camp run by 3 witches, shenanigans with magic and magical creatures happen )

• Some episodes are technically lost media, either in the original ENG dub or in general, but Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown ( a rare example of Australian cartoon work, follows an anthro kangaroo who basically does everything he can to fight against a corrupt mayor ) ( huh, sounds topical with the state of the world, kinda ) ( episodes available can be found on the The Skippy Archive yt channel, if that makes any difference )

• Ahhhh! Real Monsters ( unless I completely missed this on the list, kinda shocked it's not there while the classsic Klasky Csupo show Rugrats is )

• Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog ( the campy in a pretty dumb kinda way cartoon and not SatAM, though I personally recommend that one if you want something a little more serious and darker in tone )

• Rocket Power ( another Klasky Csupo I personally think is good enough to pass )

I wanted to list some others, but I scroll down to the list only to find them. I mean, Angry Beavers was already there. Same with like Batman Beyond and D.W. and Infinity Train. This post just makes me realize I don't know as many cartoons as I should.

I really like the Lilo and Stitch series and movies

• Inspector Gadget

• Care Bears

• Babar

• Rupert

• Mona the Vampire

• Monster By Mistake

• Mummies Alive!

• Tales From the Cryptkeeper

• Freaky Stories

• Magic School Bus

• Stickin' Around

• Ned's Newt

• Anatole

• Cardcaptors

• Beast Machines (it's a sequel to Beast Wars)

• Xiaolin Showdown

• Jackie Chan Adventures

• American Dragon: Jake Long

• Are You Afraid of the Dark? (not a cartoon)

Growing up I loved Pinky and The Brain and Batfink

Aah! Really Monsters!

Angry Beavers

Rocko's Modern Life

Actually shocked to not see Moongirl and Devil Dinosaur on the list. A stunning soundtrack and amazing voice work makes it one of the most underrated cartoons of the last 20 years

The Moomin are there. No need to add anything else.

• Little Witch Academia
• Spy x Family
• Azumanga Daioh
• CITY: The Animation

Since I see you have some anime there:

• Gargantia on the Verduous Planet
• Samurai Flamenco
• Tiger & Bunny
• Cells at Work

Should all be wholesome and pretty kid friendly.

Also, some older cartoons you missed:

• Pirates of Dark Water
• Conan the Adventurer
• 2 Stupid Dogs
• Doug (Nickelodeon series)

That sounds lovely. I'm stealing that idea! Hilda and invader zim is so good.

I recently finished litre witch academy, that I could recommend. And the most bizarre thing I've seen is John Dillermand. Maybe first screen it before you show it for your kids :)

My Life as a Teenage Robot, My Little Pony FiM, Phineas and Ferb

I’m a little worried that no one has mentioned Mystery Inc. yet. It’s probably the best version of Scooby-Doo ever done.
Also look in to Clone High both the 2002 version and the 2023 restart. It’s a really fun show more for teenagers and the blueprint that Total Drama Island ripped off. It’s also the very first time Miller and Lord, of Spider-verse and Hail Merry fame, got to run a show.

Man, Zoids would be a perfect addition to that list. Maybe SD Gundam would be fun too, its like a chibi version of Gundam.

Beetlejuice Ducktales The gummi bears David the Gnome

I think the original run of The Muppet Show deserves a spot on the list too

Sam & Max : Freelance Police

Dexters Lab

Johnny Bravo

Couldn't see them on the list but it is loooooong and not alphabetical.

I don't see Danger Mouse or Count Duckula on there. Classic British series by Cosgrove Hall. Danger Mouse has had a reboot relatively recently, though I haven't seen any of the new ones.

Other than that, Mr Magoo and, separately, the Pink Panther show.

And back to the UK for Mr Benn if you can find all the episodes.

No idea where you can watch any of these, but I'm sure they're out there somewhere.

The original Pink Panther

If you're okay with subtitles (As I don't think it has a dub.), Ranking of Kings is fantastic, recent, and more or less age appropriate. Ling Cage and Hero Inside also fall into that realm (Hero Inside has a dub though.) The original Dragonball (Which is about Goku as a kid doing adventure stuff. Dragonball Z is where he grew up and screamed a lot with gold hair.) and Ultimate Muscle both have english dubs that are solid and definitely were bona fide Saturday morning cartoons. G.I. Joe, Pirates of Dark Water, Street Sharks, and Double Dragon can also fill out a list on the more classic side.
