Cartoon Network:
The best channel. Nice mix of the old and new.
Frequently played classic cartoons like Loony Tunes, Flintstones, Jetsons, Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry. I think Animaniacs was played at the same time slot of these shows even though it aired in the early 90s?
Most of the shows that were modern at the time were also really good. Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dexter’s Laborstory, Ed Edd and Eddie, Johnny Bravo, Samurai Jack, Codename Kids Next Door. Grim and Evil which eventually turned into the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.
At night anime would be played. Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball Z have to be mentioned. They were amazing.
Nickelodeon:
Fairly Odd Parents, Spongebob, Danny Phantom.
Disney Channel:
Lizzie McGuire, Kim Possible, Even Stevens, Proud Family, That’s So Raven, Dave the Barbarian, Boy Meets World.
Not as often but also dabbled in others.
PBS:
Sesame Street WAY early and I think what my parents specifically played for me. Zoom, Dragon Tails, Cyberchase

Mr. Ed on Nick @ Nite
SNL (90s were great)
When I was younger I remember Green Acres, Mister Rodgers, The Munsters Mister Ed, Captain Kangaroo - and Petticoat Junction (I still don’t know what it was about - but I think some of the women were hot).
Then there was I Dream of Genie, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Brady Bunch, The Dukes of Hazzard, and Happy Days.
I had a few other favorites - The Rifleman, Rat Patrol, and later it was The Courtship of Eddies Father.
I loved a cartoon called Wacky Races! The racers had some funny names and it was fun to watch!
I had a cable box in my room as a kid. Remember those old ones where the channel was a button that you pushed down on and had to change it on the box, like each channel was its own button. On mine the Playboy channel was blocked out. I can’t remember which number it was but let’s say it was 28. As a kid I accidentally found out if you held down 27 and 29 you got a “non scrambled” 28 on the TV screen. I would take 2 pencils and lay a book on top and success, great timing for a 12 year old teenager. Worked great for about 2 months until the cable company added more channels and moved Playboy to channel 40 something and my box only went to 38 making it obsolete.
