it was, in fact, aired first in 1971.

Well, the problem here is: We live in Germany and that stuff never aired here, so there. And if it aired, I have no idea what it was called.
Plus I maintain that Sending mit der Maus is still better.
Also, if Futurama counts, I'm so including it. I don't own all Futurama DVD sets for nothing here.
Edit: Here's why it's better:

Ren and Stimpy, The Tick, Cow and Chicken (always prefered it to Angry Beavers which was similar) for the animated stuff.
Seinfeld (a given), Twin Peaks, Spaced (started '99 and ran into the 2000s) and surely some others I don't remember yet.

I actually think this one's late-80s early-90s.
Please tell me I'm not the only one here who remembers Square One. Sometimes I think my best friend and I are the only people who have heard of the show. My favorite segments were always Dirk Niblick and the Math Brigade and Mathnet (Dragnet spoof).
As a kid I was only allowed to watch a half-hour of TV each day and both of my parents are mathematicians so it was pretty much predetermined that that half-hour would be Square One (which was OK with me since I loved the show).

Oh my god, I do know that show. At first I was thinking "nope, never heard of it," but then you referred to math and it all came flooding back. Back in Korea there was only one channel of American television, the Air Force network, and Square One was shown on it.
Damn, now that I'm thinking of it there were a lot of science nerd shows I liked to watch. Of course Contact is the grand-daddy of the bunch, but my fave was Newton's Apple. Later on, Beakman's World was funny for a few episodes, but got irritating fast.

I only vaguely remember Contact and don't think I ever saw Beakman's World. When my younger sister was little she always watched Bill Nye the Science Guy which was pretty meh compared to Newton's Apple.

or find yourself a completely dorky and nerdy (also, at least 30 years old) friend from minneapolis who happened to tape the cable access shows, and then bribe them with lots of alcohol and unopened star trek figurines.
during my first time around in college, i met one of these dorks. her name was laurel, and she had taken a tour of the studio once, and got one of the waffle props from episode #317.
i'm pretty sure she still lives in someone's basement and has to put SPF 5 gagillion on before hitting any sort of natural light at all.
still. mst3k was the only redeeming thing about the 90s.
the song medley on star force: fugitive alien II was to die for.

Most of the old Nick shows people have already mentioned..
the original Power Rangers.. except when I was little me and my cousin were fooling around pretending we were power rangers and he accidentally broke my arm.. didn't really watch the show much after that.. lol.
Even though it didn't start in the 90s and it's still on today, I remember watching The Price is Right with my Dad during that time period.. heh..
I guess I was a weird kid.

Also: James Bond Jr owned me so hard. I still have the SNES game and old Beta tapes with some episodes as well as the fucking Samurai Pizza Cats.

And however hot Mellissa Joan Hart was she can't stand up to Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), although Elisha Cuthbert did host Popular Mechanics for Kids.

Pokémon was a great show.

Pokemon WAS an amazing show, especially if you happened to be a kid at the time. Of course, I can only speak of the show pre-Silver and Gold era. I lost track after that. Basically, if you didn't buy the game right away, you'd miss out on all the new pokemon, and you get over whelmed, and so you end up waiting till you get it, but they don't show reruns, and you're all like, "FUCK", but you're still like, 8, so you're all like, "MAAAAN".
Yeah.

The ones already mentioned:
-Duckman
-The Tick (I hear the live-action show didn't suck nearly as hard as I thought it did, but I've never seen it)
-Power Rangers
-Brimstone (I'm totally with you on the shittiness of that cancellation)
-MST3K
-Pokemon
-Bill Nye the Science Guy
-Square One
-Young Indiana Jones
-Start Trek the Next Generation (my vote as the greatest Start Trek show ever, I remember the last episode, and talking about it on the bus the day after)
-Dinosaurs
Unmentioned (as far as I can tell):
-The Critic (come on guys, what's wrong with you?)
-Highlander (theme song by Queen, and Adrian Paul being a badass...Scottsman?)
-Due South (just the first couple of seasons, it got really stupid when they replaced the detective)
-Stargate SG-1 (yeah, it still runs, but it started during the 90's)
-The Simpsons (obvious, but it bears mentioning because the 90's was back when it was good)
Probably tons more, but it's late and I'm tired.

I watched a few episodes of the live-action Tick, and it was decent overall, with some episodes pretty blah, and others pretty funny. Nowhere near as timeless as the cartoon, but it should've gotten another season, it might've been able to be a little less erratic. I don't remember a lot of details anymore though, which says something about the show too, since the cartoon was much older and yet sticks out in my mind much clearer.

Oh no, I was a scrappy motherfucker as a kid. Plus people were always afraid to mess with me because I gave off that "serial killer vibe." One guy did try to beat me up. I took everything he gave me, and kept laughing.

the fucking Samurai Pizza Cats.
YES, FUCKING YES. I watched a few episodes recently and fell in love again.
I also loved roundhouse! Where the hell can I buy some of those episodes? Easily one of the best shows on TV, and THE best live-action show on Nick. (Old All That is a close second.)
