Rate These Kids Shows And We'll Guess Your Favorite Sitcom

How much does the entertainment one watches as children truly affect them as adults? The mere fact a child once viewed a whole bunch of Sesame Street or Barney & Friends isn’t necessarily going to turn them into a happy, loving adult who know that sharing is caring. Most children’s shows focus on the same general ideals of peace, understanding, and togetherness, and yet the world isn’t always a friendly place, even though almost everyone saw the same stuff on TV when they were growing up.

That said, although a given person’s favorite kids shows won’t entirely define who they are later in life, there’s probably some connection between the sort of entertainment they first enjoyed and that which they consume later. Because kids shows are largely of the comedic variety, what a person watched as a youngster may not say anything about the sort of drama they enjoy, but there may well be a link when it comes to their sense of humor and favorite styles of comedy.

Alternatively, in some cases, kids can be the harshest critics of all, powerfully rejecting anything that doesn’t make them smile. These distastes grow strong within a person, never quite leaving, and perhaps dictating the sort of TV they intentionally stay away from as their life goes on. Keep reading to separate the good from the bad by rating all of your favorite classic kids shows, and we’ll use your answers to guess your favorite sitcom as an adult.

Question 1

How many stars would you give Sesame Street?

Notwithstanding that grouchy guy who lived in a trashcan, Sesame Street was a world of sunny days parting the clouds away. For many kids, it was also where the most important life lessons began, as taught by Elmo, Big Bird, and their many friends. Did you enjoy them?

Question 2

What do you rate Looney Tunes?

Eh…what’s up, Doc? More than a single TV show, Looney Tunes is an umbrella term for a variety of Merry Melodies produced by Warner Bros. featuring iconic characters like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd. Whether talking about the classics or the years of remakes, were you a fan?

Question 3

What rating would you give SpongeBob SquarePants?

Every kid born in the ‘90s knows who lives in a pineapple under the sea, and even those from older generations are probably familiar with said character’s unique brand of humor. Quite frankly, it would take a real Squidward to deny the SpongeBob’s. Were you ready for it’s madness?

Question 4

How many stars does Rugrats deserve?

Sometimes, a baby’s gotta do what a baby’s gotta do, and for many toddlers of the 1990s this meant refusing to become all grown up and watching Rugrats instead. That’s because Tommy Pickles and his friends went on wild adventures that would make any kid jealous.

Question 5

What rating does The Powerpuff Girls earn in your book?

Being made of sugar, spice, and everything nice was in no way a deterrent to The Powerpuff Girls true goals of fighting crime and trying to save the world. It wasn’t easy either, tasked against menacing villains like HIM, the Gangrene Gang, and Mojo Jojo. Did you support their efforts?

Question 6

What do you rate Muppet Babies?

As if they weren’t adorable enough as adults, the Jim Henson Company turned their world famous Muppets into babies for their very own animated children’s show. Just like the variety show version, Muppet Babies took viewers on all sorts of unique experiences far beyond the confines of their nursery.

Question 7

What rating would you give Doug?

If you’ve ever had a hankering for a Honker Burger, or maybe considered the idea of collecting issues of Quail Man, it’s probably because you’re a fan of Nickelodeon’s classic cartoon Doug. Either that or you were just interested in his lifelong crush, Patti Mayonnaise.

Question 8

How many stars would you give Rocket Power?

Skating down to the beach sounds like a lifestyle any kid would love to experience, and the extreme athletes of Rocket Power were lucky enough to do just that every day. Rather than make viewers jealous, this just made them tune in as Otto and friends lived the dream.

Question 9

How many stars does All That earn?

Taking a cue from Saturday Night Live and developing it for younger generations, All That provided many children their first glimpse of sketch comedy. With unforgettable characters like Repair Man (man, man, man, man), Ed from Good Burger, and the weird Ear Boy, they usually came back for more, too.

Question 10

What do you rate Kenan & Kel?

Awwwww, here it goes! Everybody out there go run and tell your home boys and home girls all about Kenan & Kel. At Coolio’s advice, kids around the world grabbed their orange soda and rushed to the screen every time these two went on their bizarre adventures.

Question 11

What rating does Johnny Bravo deserve?

Vain, conceited, and fully believing himself to be the coolest guy in the room, Johnny Bravo was a pretty huge jerk. Of course, that was the point, as this self-proclaimed was hero constantly made a fool by the only little girl who would talk to him.

Question 12

What rating would you give Boy Meets World?

Wandering through this world that we call life is what Cory, Shawn, and Topanga were doing every Friday night on Boy Meets World. By the time it was over, the show wasn’t just for kids anymore, but many viewers literally grew up along with it as they watched.

Question 13

How many stars would you give Clarissa Explains It All?

Navigating through life can be pretty tough for a preteen, making many of them thankful Nickelodeon gave us a girl like Clarissa Darling to explain it all. Unfortunately, her brother Ferguson constantly got in the way of her doing so, and she seemed a little distracted by Sam, as well.

Question 14

What do you rate Even Stevens?

One thing most kids can understand is that merely being related doesn’t mean two people have anything in common. Typically, they feel this way about their parents, but those who share that thought in regards to their siblings were likely to powerfully resonate with Even Stevens.

Question 15

How many stars does Dexter’s Laboratory earn?

Those who dared enter Dexter’s Laboratory were treated with the hilarious antics of the smartest boy the world has ever seen. To his chagrin, they would also see the destructive tendencies of his ridiculous sister, Dee Dee, who wantonly pressed every self-destruct button he ever built.

Question 16

What rating would you give Courage the Cowardly Dog?

Oh, the things we do for love. Even as children, most people understand the desire to protect those closest to us, yet few would go to the extreme lengths of Courage the Cowardly Dog as he repeatedly saved his owners from sheer terror. Did you like watching him do it?

Question 17

How many stars would you give Cow and Chicken?

By and large, most fans of the Cartoon Network were just like Cow and Chicken’s parents in that they had no idea how these two wacky children came into existence. The weird red guy without pants who always foiled their plans was even weirder. Did you like watching them anyway?

Question 18

What do you rate Mighty Morphin Power Rangers?

When one superhero wasn’t enough to fight off the vicious alien sorceress Rita Repulsa, Fox Kids created an entire group of them called the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. These Alpha 5 teenagers had a hard challenge in front of them, yet they always save the day with their Megazord.

Question 19

What rating would you give The Ren & Stimpy Show?

Perhaps a little too disgusting for some parents' tastes, The Ren & Stimpy Show nonetheless brought all sorts of happy, happy, joy, joy to the kids mature enough to enjoy it responsibly. Well, unless they were grossed out by these filthy animals, as well. Were you?

Question 20

What rating does Legends of the Hidden Temple deserve?

Seeking the world’s greatest treasures, some of the luckiest kids in the world got to participate Nickelodeon’s most adventures game show, Legends of the Hidden Temple. Silver Snakes, Blue Barracudas, and more battled temple guards to their hand at the Shrine of the Silver Monkey and win the prize.

Question 21

How many stars does Lizzie McGuire earn?

Blending animation with live action seemed like an obvious conclusion for kids shows produced on the Disney Channel, making Lizzie McGuire innovative even before it hit the air. The sassy and sarcastic performance that made Hillary Duff a star didn’t hurt, either. Were you a fan?

Question 22

What do you rate The Suite Life of Zack and Cody?

Living a privileged existence in a lavish hotel, there’s no arguing The Suite Life of Zack and Cody was one fans of the Disney Channel definitely envied. Although most kids probably weren’t so lucky as to live quite like the stars, but that didn’t stop them from laughing at it.

Question 23

What rating would you give The Adventures of Pete & Pete?

As though two brothers sharing the same name wasn’t surreal enough, The Adventures of Pete & Pete usually took weird twists and turns the average children’s show wouldn’t dare attempt. Naturally, this made many viewers especially invested in the strangeness they would create. Were you one of them?

Question 24

How many stars would you give Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends?

Almost every kid out there will create an imaginary friend for at least one day, discarding them all too soon when the real deal comes about. Lucky, all these forgotten pals can reconvene at Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, where Mac and Bloo will keep them alive forever.

Question 25

What rating does Adventure Time deserve?

Almost every kid will one day experience the unbridled joy for discovery seen in Adventure Time’s hero Jake. Unfortunately, none of us share the ace up his sleeve in trusted sidekick/magical dog, Jake. If only they did, everyone would be saving princesses and fighting evil kings.

Question 26

What do you rate Regular Show?

If Mordecai and Rigby have but one message for the many young fans watching Regular Show, it’s that sometimes work is totally lame. That goes double working for a jerk like Benson at a boring job, especially when there are video games to be played and sodas to be drank.

Question 27

How many stars does The Fairly OddParents earn?

Ignoring by his real parents and tortured by a vicious babysitter, Timmy Turner had no choice but to escape into a dream world where he had two magical albeit rather strange Fairly OddParents make his life livable. Despite the sad premise, Nickelodeon fans couldn’t stop laughing at the outcome.

Question 28

How many stars would you give The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack?

For those who like their cartoons on the weird side, there are few greater modern contributions to the medium than The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Aided by an alcoholic captain and a loving killer whale, this strange little fisherman child gets caught up in the wildest journeys on TV.

Question 29

What rating would you give Double Dare?

To this day, there’s no game show for adult that looks anywhere near as fun as Nickelodeon’s Double Dare. Answer a few simple pop trivia questions, and you’ll get to run through a colorful gauntlet like no other, flying through props to catch all the flags and win the game.

Question 30

What do you rate Are You Afraid of the Dark?

For the kids out there who would prefer sitting around a campfire and telling scary stories to laughing at silly cartoons, there was no greater TV show than Are You Afraid of the Dark? The only problem was that some episodes caused viewers to emphatically answer said question affirmatively.

Question 31

How many stars does Hey Arnold! earn?

With a very unique, almost proto-hipster style, and a weird looking football head, Arnold Shortland was a born outsider. Of course, the qualities that made him a weirdo in Hillwood is exactly what made so many young fans identify with his experiences. Were you one of them?

Question 32

How many stars would you give Pinky and The Brain?

While most shows switch things up every episode, Pinky and The Brain only had one goal each time they hit our TV screens: trying to take over the world. Of course, the insane Pinky’s interference always stopped the genius Brain short of this lofty wish. At least it was funny.

Question 33

What rating would you give Animaniacs?

Even for a children’s show, the Animaniacs was a particularly madcap and wacky experience thanks to the fact it came from the bizarre minds of Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. Their many friends were just as crazy, cracking one another up in more ways than one.

Question 34

What do you rate Ed, Edd n Eddy?

Who could imagine three boys living in the same cul-de-sac and sharing the same name could be so different from one another? Aside from a love of jawbreakers, Ed, Edd, n Eddy had almost nothing in common, but they were still the best friends of kids everywhere.

Question 35

How many stars would you give Rocko’s Modern Life?

Living in the world today isn’t always easy, which was a lesson many children learned for the first time on Rocko’s Modern Life. It seems like no matter how hard the wallaby tried, his friends Heffer and Filburt would find a way to mess up his day.
