The ones that had a real impact on me were definitely as follows.
Cardcaptors - if it hadn't been for this show, I'd have never known that anime (or manga) existed.
Megas XLR - featured my first fictional crush, and is still my all-time favorite series.
Transformers: Armada - sure, a poorly dubbed mess of a series, but it was my first experience with the fandom. I've been a fan ever since!
Potatoes & Dragons - introduced me to the impermanence of digital media. That is to say, I've STILL never found it online.
... and that's about it, really.

I watched LazyTown, Blues Clues, Barney, Postman Pat, Bob the Builder (I called it Build the Bobber), Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, The Backyardigans, Pingu, Purple and Brown, Teletubbies. I also watched In the Night Garden, but it sort-of scared me? In a calming way? I felt very strange. I used to rent the Pokemon Kanto/Johto region VHSs from the video shop.
There was also this show I watched called The Life on Ben. It was about these claymation germs living on this boy called Ben. I had no idea how unknown it was, that it was from the early '90s, that it didn't last long and that it was from my country until I googled it last year.
Land of the Lost. This one's from the '70s, but my mum bought the box set for us. My sister is still scared of my favourite episodes.

Okay, so can I tell you a little something? Earlier today my peeps and I were talking about how Beyblades are stupid. “They’re just dreidels that fight!” I said, right in front of my Jewish friend (who didn’t care). Then lunchtime rolled around, and we went over to this classroom to play Cards Against Humanity. Turns out some people were taking a test in there, so we had to walk the whole way back. To lighten the mood, I started singing the
Beyblade: Metal Fusion theme. My buddy @
EveningEmerald asked me why I know all the lyrics. I told her that I watched
Beyblade in my childhood, which was actually true. I watched it as it came on Cartoon Network with
Star Wars: The Clone Wars,
Bakugan, and that cool reboot of
Thundercats that ended up on Adult Swim.
Beyblade, Beyblade, please just let it live.

My Little Pony (Original, though I watch the new ones now)
Street Sharks
Pokemon (Original series)
Biker Mice from Mars
Transformers
Noah's Island (which barely anyone seems to recall)

Silver Brumby (I have these on DVD)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
X Men (I don't remember which series it was)
Trap Door

Dangermouse
Loads more but... too many to recount haha.
