These were my grandkid's shows and my kids were raised
on Sesame Street, Rockie & Bullwinkle and George Of The Jungle.

The correct proggy answers are Schoolhouse Rock or Rocky & Bullwinkle.

^ Hell yeah, the original, though the other series are very good.

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

I used to and still love Gumby, Loony Tunes as well. Clap

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.
