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
Danger Mouse (Repeats of the Original)
Doctor Who (Pertwee and Baker)
Black Adder (all of it, remember being about 12 and my parents telling me to come and watch it with them)
From the picture: only Ducktales and Scooby Doo
Overall: probably Scooby, Cosby Show, and Dukes of Hazzard
Gilligan's island
I dream of Jeannie
Perry Mason
Fun fact: both Jeannie and The Skipper (too) were extras on episodes of Perry Mason.

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!"
MASH
WKRP
Barney Miller
If only your third was a 4 letter acronym too. 🙃

Saved by the Bell, You Can't Do That on Television, and Nick Arcade. Honorable mention to SK8-TV.
Are you me?
I’m going to strongly assume you’re about 40 in that case haha
I felt the exact same way about the X Files while I watched it too! It was on my personal honorable mentions ✅
Transformers, GIJoe, He-Man
Pokemon Scooby-Doo Demon king daimao
While the first two are probably fairly generic choices. The last one is the first anime i watched ( i dont count pokemon as anime ) when i was a teeneager ( naturaly it is a crazy schol fantasy harem anime , they were kinda trending at that time and they mostly sucked , similar to iseaki today . This one is probably no exception but i kinda look at it with rose tinted glasses and i havent watched it for a long time . ). Mostly because crunchyroll was an app on ps4 and i installed it and at that time everything was for free after a week. And boy o boy that was a start of journey through a very very deep black hole that im still very deep in.
SpongeBob, obviously
Beverly hills, X-Files, Friends
Beverly Hillbillies, I Dream of Jeannie, Mission Impossible
Knight Rider, The A-Team, MacGyver
Honorable mentions to Dukes of Hazzard, The Fall Guy, Magnum, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, TJ Hooker, Manimal, Automan etc
What a time to be a kid
In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them...maybe you can hire The A-Team.
Being the generation that grew up as kids of Vietnam vets was a trip. You had these dudes with BA Baracus looking like he was ready to fuck some fool up to pity them. After that, you had the privileged White middle-upper class family of the Brady Bunch being all corny af, saying shit like, "Gee whiz, Mom! That's positively fantastic!" There were eight people living comfortably off of one wage with a housekeeper.
Imagine that today. The A-Team would be four Afghan and Iraq vets all tatted up working out of a desert-colored F150 Raptor hunting down pedos. One of them would be called Ricky Recon with the signature phrase, "It's time for some group therapy!" They'd also have a lady with them that would be the reasonable one. Every episode would include one line where someone bitches about the VA. The next show would be Modern Family.
Considering I forgot about it and got back into it, bringing back memories, first slot definitely goes to Franklin.
I'd definitely say second would have to go to a show like Ed Edd n Eddy since I used to watch way too much of it, I think...
And third would absolutely be a toss up since I watched way too many cartoons growing up. So I'd probably have to go with Death Note since it's the first anime I recognized as anime instead of just a cartoon back when I was in freshman year highschool.
Edit:
Someone mentioned Invader Zim and that would definitely be a contender because that show made me start to like weird and sometimes disturbing things. Here's looking at you, Dark Harvest. Also saw an Angry Beavers mention. Definitely a close 3rd since beavers are my favorite animal thanks to that show and Franklin.
Death Note was a great anime! And also one of the earlier anime I came across - but I was just older than "youth" when I saw it.
Star Trek: TNG
Batman: The Animated Series
Space Ghost Coast to Coast
Saved by The Bell, Friends, Naruto
Battlestar Galactica (original) Buck Rogers Dukes of Hazard
Honorable mentions McGuyver A-team
