Pinky and the Brain.
Although now as a middle aged man, Bluey.
Bluey is GOAT level.
Reboot
It may not be the answer I gave at the time, but it's the best balance now of "liked it as a kid" and "like it as an adult"
I'm terrified of rewatching it and it not living up to my nostalgia.
A documentary was released on the show last month. During production they were given the original master tapes for the show and have been slowly releasing all of the episodes in glorious 4k for free on YouTube. Check them out - they hold up to nostalgia better than you'd expect.
Make sure you check out the documentary that was released last month on YouTube! It's called ReBoot Rewind.

David the Gnome
Marsupilami
Came here to say David the Gnome, just rewatched it recently and loved it. Never met someone else in real life who has ever seen it.
The Tick.
I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.
I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.

This shouldn't be the answer because it's not really for kids. But it is, and will always be, The Simpsons.
Every evening at 6pm on UPN I would watch the Simpsons with my dad. I went from watching and understanding Bart to now watching with my daughter and seeing it through Homer's eyes.

Basically any fantasy cartoon that featured a voyage or some kind of quest was a favorite when I was little.
- The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin
- Dungeons & Dragons
- Pirates of Dark Water
- Conan the Adventurer
Dungeons & Dragons is such a classic. I still watch it on occasion.
Pirates of Dark Water was such an underrated show. It still makes me mad that it got canceled.

Then or now?
5 year old me: She-Ra
10 year old me: maybe Bugs Bunny honestly
Adult me: Bluey hands down forever. And my kids like it too.
The new she-ra is rad.

Gargoyles, Batman The Animated Series, X-Men, Exosquad, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain. Liked them equally.

Goof Troop
TaleSpin
People have already mentioned SpongeBob, so I will go with Freakazoid and The Tick.
Static Shock, Kim Possible, Darkwing Duck
My all time favorite was Robotech, though it has not aged well.
I also went through a lot of Disney in my youth:
- Gummi Bears
- Duck tales
- Darkwing Duck
And then there was the smattering of others:
- Dungeons and Dragons
- Thundercats

Samurai Pizza Cats. My grandma would have tapes of it so whenever I went over to my grandma's house, chances are this show would be playing at some point haha. The episode I remember the most is the one with the dragon.

Arabian Nights. The adventures, Jeenie, Magic carpet, Abu, and everything was awesome.
Tiny Toon Adventures, then Animaniacs.
Kinda giving away my age, but Animaniacs was right around the time I just started appreciating characters such as Minerva Mink and Hello Nurse.
Rugrats Marsupilami Spider-Man Gargoyles
Not tv cartoons, but cartoons either way: Mortadelo y FilemΓ³n AstΓ©rix
90 minutes of Looney Tunes.
SpongeBob
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited
It's a Dutch show that was beautifully drawn and animated in Japan. It still looks fantastic and it takes you seriously as the material is quite mature. It's about ww2, sort of like deep space 9. There's a lot of world exploration and adventure and it adresses societal issues. The only bummer is that the gender norms are quite old fashioned so it might not be appropriate for your kids based on your views.
As a kid in the '70s, all the cartoons on Wednesday afternoons kids matinee...Vicky the Viking, Maya the Bee, Heidi, Remi, Pink Panther & Hong Kong Phooey.

Mighty Orbots, just for the theme song alone. Now that I think about it I will have that song stuck in my head all day.
Imma bend the rules:
Thunderbirds.
So many... The earliest cartoon I remember loving was The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It was incredibly cozy. Then I discovered Cartoon Cartoons, especially Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Bravo, and Dexter's Laboratory with their throwback art styles, and got obsessed with those for a while.
Eventually SpongeBob came out and became my personality, because he was basically an annoying kid trying his best to be friends with everyone like I was. (It's played out now, it wasn't back then.)
ETA how did I not mention classic Looney Tunes. Before we had cable I was really into the classics.
