ah, that is annoying but it's the network fault not the actual show.
My sister and I used to watch something called  beyblade, i think it is called.  It was okay but not something that was enjoyable....

The Backyardagains. I use to love that show! And I still watch it from time to time now, pfft and I thought only the Land Before Time characters could break out into song without any shame.

The Land Before Time tv series. Guy's you HAD to see this one coming. :p

Dragon tales. OMG! I have a tape of the show! I loved it when I was younger.

The Little Mermaid tv series and movie. WOOT!!!!!!!!! I love this! Not to the extent of LBT, but...OMG!!!  Whenever I was upset and crying as a little kid my parents would put this movie in and I would stop crying instantly!

Uhhh dat's about it. I can't think. Too much nostalgia.

I got another one!

Babar. I don't know why, but I liked this show as a kid and I was flicking through channels and saw it on, I watched and all those old feelings came rushing back.

EDIT: Thomas the Tank Engine. I used to love this show as a kid. I don't like it anymore though. It probably happened when I saw the movie. The bad train (it's been so long I forget his name) came out, I actually got so scared I started crying and walked out of the theatre holding my dad's hand and I didn't want to go back in. :lol:  Good times.

Recently, I've watched a few  episodes of the "Timon and Pumbaa" series...I really don't like the title characters (NO offense to anyone here who does like them)...one of the ones I've watched was "Never Everglades"...the dude in this video...here...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAX8AHXNaw8

...he highlights it at about the 6 minute mark. So yeah, I  truthfully admit I watched it on my birthday. Yeah...not gonna stoop to that level next year, though!  :exactly
I did watch the 2 Zazu episodes...sort of dumb...and I also watched the episodes with the hyenas. I've mentioned before that the hyenas are my absolute favorite characters from The Lion King, and quite probably my favorite characters in animation outside of LBT (my favorite children's show, naturally  ;) ). And I thought they were all pretty funny, particualrly "Can't take a yoke" (seriously, I thought they were gonna try the old tar monster gag on the ostrich in that one!    :lol ). And I really wonder why on earth they didn't get their own show. I would like, totally watch that.  :exactly Personally, I like to think it was the lack of them getting their own shorts in the later seasons that caused the series to discontinue.  :lol

Wait, when you guys say Arthur is still running, do you mean they're still having new episodes?

As for kids shows I watch, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic and...I guess The Legend of Korra if that counts.

I remember when I was very young I had some shows I liked, some kid's type shows, though most of them you've likely never heard of.  Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Captain Kangaroo, Electric Company.  The Captain Guss Show (showed Popeye cartoons).

For regular cartoons I liked a lot of them.  Scooby Doo and others.  The Tarzan Cartoon was very well written I thought.

Loony Tunes, Various Hanna barberra & flimation cartoons, and others to many to name.  

Not counting kid's shows & cartoons I've liked after my childhood of course.

Seeing as it's been about 5 years since I've posted here...LOL...I do have some additions.  

1.  My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
2.  Legend of Korra
3.  Avatar the Last Air Bender

That's it for now.  But maybe one day in the future I'll have more "kid" shows I like.  I don't know.  I just don't like kid shows anymore.  I'm more of an anime guy.

I guess the saying isn't completely true: Some things do last forever.

Gargoyles is probably my all-time favorite.
I was a total nutter for Brooklyn Gargoyles in third grade.

So...recently I've really been liking Fish Hooks and Gravity Falls. Phenias and Ferb didn't really grab me like those did. It's a creative way to use the same situation over and over again in different ways. I'll watch it if there's nothing else to do, though.

And I did check out Adventure Time. The one thing I can describe it as is "cute". It's simple with some gags that go waaaaaaay over the target audience's heads. Lady Ranicorn only speaks Korean and according to some of the translations, there are definitely implications that she was intimate with Jake more than once. Oh man, the things they've got away with :lol . But other than that..."cute". Oh, and the Ice King's little "issues".

As for what I enjoyed as a kid...most of what was on PBS in the 90's/early 2000's. Zoom, Dragon Tales, Arthur, effin CYBERCHASE! Cyberchase was awesome. Christopher Lloyd AND Gilbert Godfried as major characters--total win.

Yeah, I really enjoyed Cyberchase during it's first season in 2002. It taught me math!  :yes
