Those shows were meant for the mentality of an eight year old, so I doubt they will be enjoyable by anyone older.

I'm not seriously going to even try to put up everything I watched.
Watched saturday morning cartoons religiously for, I'd say... What, from when I was four until I was... 10 or so, then I still watched them more often than not for some time after that. That's a lot of shows right there, even excluding non-Saturday morning shows.
Power Rangers, Pinky and the Brain, Animaniacs, Recess, TMNT (the old cartoon, the live action, and the newer cartoon), Gargoyles, Reboot... Watched them all with some regularity at some point in my life. ...Well, and Pokemon, too, of course. Used to watch TV a lot more back then than I do now. Hardly ever even turn the thing on.
And I didn't even have cable at home (nor do I now). No, I'd watch totally different shows there. Thundercats, Dexter's Lab, old Warner Brothers cartoons, Scooby Doo, Captain Planet on occasion...
I'm not even bothering to discuss movies.
Guess I lied, though, about not seriously trying to remember TV shows, since I did take a while to think of some of those titles.

Since I live in Iceland, some of mine you will never have heard of, but whatever.
Animals of Farthing Wood! It may have in part inspired my morbidity, seeing as it followed a very un-child-friendly Anyone Can Die rule which made it that much more exciting and dramatic.
Stundin okkar with Gunni and Felix! Two Icelandic children's comedians running a show that, in memory at least, was really hilarious and at least once quite nightmarish. They liked to reenact fairy tales in silly and awesome ways. Oh, and they once tried to show how the earth rotates around the sun, and the simulation ended with the earth crashing into the sun and they both fell down.
An Australian show thingy about a horse, and some emus, and stuff like that. Can't remember what it was called. I liked it because it was about a horse. His father was dead and he talked to him in reflections in pools of water. I think.
Tabaluga! I liked that because it was about a dragon. :o
And, um... Cro? A weird show about a bunch of cro-magnon people and mammoths who discovered various principles of physics. That was fun. I kept getting the theme song stuck in my head.

Wow, I came in this thread specifically because I remembered that!
I can't remember much about what happened, other than they were trying to get to White Deer Park. My brother has a computer game of it but it doesn't work any more :(
I remember I really liked the fox(es?) only because they were fox(es).
I liked this film too.

Ahhh~
Tom and Jerry, Loony Toons, Animanics, Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog...
For movies there was...let's see, the Tom and Jerry movie, some Animanics Christmas Special, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, a whole slew of Disney classics like the Lion King, Toy Story etc. and others.
Whenever I see one I love to grab a soft toy and watch :3 A mix of chaos, morals and character death.

Off the top of my head...
Tom and Jerry, the Wacky Races, Noah's Island (that one with the polar bear on the big floaty island), Sesame Street, Rugrats, My Little Pony (shut up), Cow and Chicken, The Animals of Farthing Wood, The Flintstones, Roobarb and Custard, The Animaniacs, Dexter's Lab, most Looney Tunes stuff (especially Wile E. Cyote and Roadrunner), Arthur, Dangermouse and the Moomins.
Movies... The Land Before Time, All Dogs go to Heaven... I can't think of any more because I still watch them, making them less nostalgic.

neither simple, nor coherent.

WESTERN: scooby doo, mike lu and og, dave the barbarian, chalkzone, the flintstones, the jetsons, tom and jerry, tiny tunes, muppet babies, powerpuff girls, lloyd in space
ANIME: sunny pig, mon colle knights, medabots, first and second seasons of pokemon and digimon, beyblade, sailor moon, dragon ball not z, cardcaptors, flint the time detective
my god I loved those

these.
Also, Sheep in the Big City, Pinky and the Bain Cow and Chicken, Inspector Gadget and some other things that I'll remember later, yeah. Saw a lot of the [season? was the first series a season?] of power rangers; my brother loved it so it was on constantly.
We didn't have many movies [on VHS], and didn't have the money to go see them. We did have The Brave Little Toaster, I could probably recite the script from memory now.

this sounds amazing
general nostalgia: when we lived in Waltham (1995-2000, this was probably around 97, when I was ~5), we lived in this ...house converted into four houses - two on each floor - it was gutted and turned into four living spaces that were like glorified hotel rooms. I didn't fully grasp that everyone else wasn't living like we were, probably wouldn't have cared if I did know, though. I had so much fun there~ We lived in the lower left portion, I was super-best-friends with the girl who lived in the lower right section. There was this clubhouse type thing that the upper-right family put in, I snuck into it regularly; it was full of what I'm now pretty sure was porn. It was a regular thing to have everyone on the street come over to the porch and battle Pokemon/trade cards. It was fun, but the kid who lived above us was an asshole who liked to steal things, his parents either didn't know or didn't care.
final edit: I remember the time parents got those plastic door/cabinet restraint things. This was when I was...2? 3? - that might be pushing it but it was definitely several years before I went into school - I wasn't told about them, I had them off all the doors and cabinets in minutes. Parents were annoyed, having had a frustrating time attaching them; and impressed that I managed to get them all off fairly quickly. They were not put back on.

Can you remember what actually happened on that show? I remember a bunch of talking animals (especially a little shrew thing that said "oisky-poisky" a lot), but no actual plot; were they trying to find land or something?
I used to rush to get home from school to see it, but now I can't even remember what it was about ):

I think they were trying to navigate to some particular place and... saved endangered animals along the way, or something? (Which reminds me, there was another show I remember that was about a red panda, a giant panda and a pink female dragon saving endangered animals that was my brother's favorite - anybody remember that?)
