I've been watching Little House on the Prairie on Cozi network. While it's fun, it really doesn't hold up, though I'm not sure what exactly is wrong. The only thing that saves the show is that it's a lot darker than I remember (the Sylvia storyline, Albert's addiction, the essentially downer ending of the series). Except maybe for #2, all those shows are still very watchable.
1. Degrassi Junior High/High -- still watch this repeatedly, far better than any of the new series, with real-looking kids and real problems, and surprisingly dark and not soapy.
2. The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show -- not really a great show, but Peanuts carries such magic in all media that even this second-rate variant shines
3. Fokus Deutsch -- the stories of the co-host's fictional character and her family are so engrossing they outshine the show's purpose to teach German.
4. WonderWorks -- a superb anthology series with great programming like The Chronicles of Narnia, A Little Princess, Jacob Have I Loved, Seal Morning, and other quality children's movies and miniseries of the sort not provided today.
5. The New Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh -- unlike the Peanuts show above, this is actually a great adaptation of Milne's classic characters, Disney doing it right, never letting down the books' gentle spirit.
6. Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies -- maybe the best cartoon series ever made (this list is done in no particular order) from the 30's to the late 60's pretty much perfect, funny, violent, zany, with the most memorable collection of cartoon characters ever, I think.
7. Science Ninja Team Gatchaman -- so good that the butchered version, Battle of the Planets, is actually really good too. Loved this years before knowing what anime was.
8. Reading Rainbow -- if you didn't love reading as a kid, this would have cured you of that, the way it immerses you in so many classics; the best thing Levar Burton ever did, and he was on effing Star Trek.
9. Schoolhouse Rock -- only an interstitial show, but tell me you don't still remember "I'm Just a Bill", "Conjunction Junction," and "Three is a Magic Number," more than you do some of the main shows.
10. The Mechanical Universe -- makes physics fun, the way David Goodstein explains everything in a classroom setting so clearly and entertainingly. The graphics and classroom demonstrations really help.
Baryshnikov's The Nutcracker deserves special mention, though it's only a one-off, as do the best Peanuts specials -- A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, It' the Great Pumpkin -- and The Snowman.
