Simply put, pick two shows from your childhood - one that still holds up to this day and one that really shows its age (or was only your favorite because you were a little kid with little kid standards)

Can be cartoons, live action, or anime, as long as it aired when you were 14 or younger (so this includes shows that are as old as, if not older than, your parents, for the record)

For me...

Show that aged well: SWAT Kats. Honestly, an ambitious cartoon that actually lived up to its ambition, but was struck down in the height of its prime. Visually pleasing to this day, funny jokes, great animation... the only strange thing is the inconsistent art styles at times, where the characters sometimes end up with more realistic proportions for some reason.

Show that aged poorly: the Super Mario Bros cartoons. This show was my holy grail as a kid - I loved to watch it, but I was too young (with not yet diagnosed ADHD) to remember when they were on, and by the time I was old enough, we had moved to a place where none of the channels would air it. I loved this show as a kid.

Nowadays, there's only two reasons I'd watch it - the late, great Harvey Atkin as King Koopa and the So Bad It's Good factor.
