8. Fraggle Rock

“Fraggle Rock” is accessible to people of all ages and it deals with some pretty important issues like prejudice, spirituality, personal identity, the environment and social conflict.

4. The Bugs Bunny Show

Don’t bother with the newer iteration of the show, “The Looney Tunes Show.” Watch “The Bugs Bunny Show instead.” These characters are memorable and the skits themselves are quite entertaining for both kids and the adults who watched them when they were young.
