        Sure, but it’s way less raunchy or suggestive than Family Guy.

        Usually.

            I still say the first 5 seasons of Family Guy were when it was at its best. There are some funny/good episodes after that, like the Star Wars ones, and And Then There Were Fewer (the Clue 2-parter), and imo a lot of the ones where we follow Carter.

            Though American Dad is still leagues better imo. It’s a little more absurd, but it’s a better fit for the stories they want to tell there.

              The episodes after Brian got killed and resurrected have gone off the deep end in terms of being outright sadistic, though.

    The local PBS station carried a science show called Newton’s Apple. Not only was the content amazing to a nerdy kid, the theme song was way too cool for a PBS show.

    That and Animaniacs.

        Reruns/syndication. I don’t think I watched much of either as they originally aired, not old enough yet or not alive in the case of MSW. We just had free antennae channels, so weeknight evenings were lots of syndicated shows.

        MASH was another common one but I didn’t like it as much. I found Alan Alda annoying and the Klinger schtick weird.

    X-Men

    A second is really hard to pick though. There’s so many great kids shows from that time, if I picked one it would just be at random. Maybe Rocko’s Modern Life, because the absurdity of it stands out more than many others.

    Buffy. Not exactly a kid show, but I was a kid when I watched it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
