I grew up in the late 2000s, honestly I think most of my childhood entertainment was just fine. The most notable thing is iCarly, and I recently watched Quinton Reviews' series on it - it holds up better than I thought, but I realized the moment he named as most fans losing interest was the same time I stopped watching it lol.
Other than that there's Danny Phantom which I watched again and was pretty fun, except for the classic kid show thing of spelling absolutely everything out for you and leaving nothing to be assumed or figured out from context.
When I was in middle school, I fell in love with MLP:FiM (the one that started in 2010). I mean that show is famous for amassing a lot of adult men and women as fans. This one's the most intriguing to me - I rewatch episodes when I feel like it, and it certainly did start as a kid show (a very good kid's show), but as it progressed they tried to integrate more action moments to keep their older audience. On the actual content though, I love the way it teaches lessons and I find that sometimes they're lessons I've forgotten. I honestly think more adults, outside of the context of having kids, should engage with kids media like this. I'm biased - I'm a bit of an age regressor, but I mean when you look around there's so many adults that have forgotten or never learned the essential lessons that media like MLP:FiM or recently Bluey lays out in an easy-to-understand way.
