Other: Scooby-Doo ... or Knight Rider ... Baywatch? ... I can't remember.
Seriously, ... Scooby-Doo. Haven't heard of the ones on the list other than Rugrats.

I like the Looney Tunes and other classic studio cartoons from the 40s-50s. Much of the humor stills works for adults. I can't stomach the "emotionally correct" childrens stuff posts 60s, it's all so safe and humorless.

Same here, Jim. I also think Gumby and Pokey are awesome.

+1, you can also add Top Cat and Crusader Rabbit to that list.

Finnforest, I agree 1000%. Classic Loony Tunes, especially the Merrie Melodies.....but nothing after 1969. Hannah-Barbera much less creative, especially after the glory days of the late 50s to mid 60s.

More modern ones I've enjoyed: Ren & Stimpy SpongeBob Squarepants Rocko's Modern Life I even like the old black-and-white Popeye cartoons. Not sure if these qualify as "kids shows." They're still funny to watch as an adult.

The only one out of these that I still appreciate is the original Thomas the Tank Engine, the design of the sets were pretty artistic.
As far as other kid's shows, I still have fond memories of watching The Secret Show and Rocko's Modern Life.

This. Nothing better than hearing Foghorn Leghorn saying something to the effect, "No, no, boy, you're doing it all wrong, reading them egghead books -- boy's about as sharp as a bowling ball."
