Please try your best to narrow it down to THREE! Can you recall which shows on TV feel synonymous with your youth? Can be your childhood phase, your adolescent phase, etc. - whatever you define as your youth!
For me: Jackie Chan Adventures, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Pokemon

Later on:
Animaniacs
Gargoyles
Doctor Who (Classic)
Dragonball Z introduced me to anime which became a life long enjoyment.
Clarissa explains it all exposed me (a guy) to more female lead content and I learned a bit more about other perspectives.
Captain Planet introduced me to the idea that we'll never really stop pollution because super heros aren't real lol
This is actually a pretty hard question. At first I couldn't think of any show but the more I thought about it the more came to my mind.
I narrowed it down to these three:
Not because I'm so old but because they where first aired in my home country in the early and mid nineties when I was at my granny's place a lot of afternoons.
Later I moved town, kinda lost touch to my grandma and wasn't really there when she got very old and then died.
Looking back it's really sad that I wasn't there for someone who spend a whole lot of my childhood with me and in fact was always there for me.
As a kid.
As a teenager.
I didn't include The Simpsons since growing up in the 90s, that's a given.

I'm not THAT old, but New Zealand didn't have television until late in the day, so we got cheap, years-old US kids' shows. I was ten before our region got TV and it was a few years after that when we got our own set. The first TV I ever watched was coverage of what must have been one of the early Saturn rocket launches. We went to my older sister's boyfriend's house to watch it. Very exciting!
I liked Lone Ranger best. "Hi ho Silver, and awaaaay!"
