Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon
Oh man these were on my list to narrow down from too! So good!
Only three is hard, probably:
MacGyver
The Secret City
Mr. Wizard
Great question. I could list dozens of shows that were favorites, or have special meaning to me, or that I watched the most, or ones that had a more longterm impact on who I am. But, specifically about impacting my world as a young person, I'll say these three.
Honorable mentions: Looney Tunes, Cheers, MASH, Family Ties, The Young Ones, Doctor Who, You Can't Do That on Television, Ren and Stimpy.
Hilarious, because it appears as though none of you were alive in my youth... My parents were too damned smart to let me watch the "Boob Tube". Turns out they had wicked foresightedness - now you have hundreds of streams and almost all of it $hit.
So this is what I did see: Howdy Doody, only at my friend's house Captain Kangaroo which I could watch when I was sick That Was The Week That Was (TW3) which I could watch because it was intelligent, political satire.
I'm no worse for the deprivation, and probably better.
Yeah, you do seem great.
Shows from my youth I’ve watched with my kid: The Muppets Full House Animaniacs
Samurai Pizza Cats
Star Wars The Clone Wars
Power Rangers
Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?
They're stakin' out crime, and you know that ain't baloney.

In order, Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), Pokemon, Digimon
Pokemon Scooby-Doo Demon king daimao
While the first two are probably fairly generic choices. The last one is the first anime i watched ( i dont count pokemon as anime ) when i was a teeneager ( naturaly it is a crazy schol fantasy harem anime , they were kinda trending at that time and they mostly sucked , similar to iseaki today . This one is probably no exception but i kinda look at it with rose tinted glasses and i havent watched it for a long time . ). Mostly because crunchyroll was an app on ps4 and i installed it and at that time everything was for free after a week. And boy o boy that was a start of journey through a very very deep black hole that im still very deep in.
Transformers, GIJoe, He-Man
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Deep Space Nine
Nova
Danger Mouse (Repeats of the Original)
Doctor Who (Pertwee and Baker)
Black Adder (all of it, remember being about 12 and my parents telling me to come and watch it with them)
Tom and Jerry, BAMZOOKi, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
Darkening Duck Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers And another one for Samurai Pizza Cats
Buffy the vampire slayer
Friends
And Dinosaurs
Friends, Beverly Hills 90210, Seinfeld (and Big Bang Theory as young adult)
Avatar the last Airbender
Star Trek TNG
Lizzie McGuire Show
Club Dorothée Passe-Partout Les chevaliers du Zodiac
Considering I forgot about it and got back into it, bringing back memories, first slot definitely goes to Franklin.
I'd definitely say second would have to go to a show like Ed Edd n Eddy since I used to watch way too much of it, I think...
And third would absolutely be a toss up since I watched way too many cartoons growing up. So I'd probably have to go with Death Note since it's the first anime I recognized as anime instead of just a cartoon back when I was in freshman year highschool.
Edit:
Someone mentioned Invader Zim and that would definitely be a contender because that show made me start to like weird and sometimes disturbing things. Here's looking at you, Dark Harvest. Also saw an Angry Beavers mention. Definitely a close 3rd since beavers are my favorite animal thanks to that show and Franklin.
