What happened to Tazmanian Devil?
Do you mean Taz Mania or the original Taz shorts (Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies)?
South east Asia:
Voltes V
Mazinger Z
Daimos
Macross
Transformers
Thunder cats
Mask
Dino riders
Mask & Dino Riders were created with the same thought process as transformers: make a show to sell toys…
That shit worked, lol! I had the motorcycle helicopter & a pterodactyl with missile launchers. I wanted that T-Rex so bad, but that was like $100 in 80’s money and was not happening.
Brave Star was my favorite, though.
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.
Johnny Bravo
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.
Blues clues
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
I have a soft spot for Hey Arnold! and Rugrats… If I had to pick one from another but Nick that would be Courage The Cowardly Dog.

Speed Racer
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.
As a kid, I would always flip on the TV for the evening episode of the Simpsons too haha! Except I swear for me it was 5pm.
I’m EST. Maybe you are central time? Bill Nye was on at 5pm on PBS for me
Gargoyles, Batman The Animated Series, X-Men, Exosquad, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain. Liked them equally.
Rugrats Marsupilami Spider-Man Gargoyles
Not tv cartoons, but cartoons either way: Mortadelo y Filemón Astérix
Not my favourite but I’m throwing this out tbere.
Pinky and the Brain.
Although now as a middle aged man, Bluey.
Bluey is GOAT level.
