Because otherwise, people (including me) will have more or less the same answers, I'm gonna say...
Swat Kats.

Hmmmm, Batman: TAS, X-Men: TAS, Animaniacs, Freakazoid, Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball Z, and probably a load of others that I'll remember in the middle of the day and suddenly go "Fuck yeah, that was an awesome show".
Animaniacs, Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Earthworm Jim and I am Weasel.
They just don't make 'em like they used too, eh?

COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG!
Followed by Batman: TAS, Batman Beyond, DBZ, Animaniacs, Rugrats, Cowboy Bebop, & Scooby Doo (I think new episodes came out in the '90s as well)

Here's a few series I've found have aged spectacularly well (watching them today is no less enjoyable than when I was younger):
Gargoyles
Dark & mature themes, interesting characters who are suprisingly complex, a long-running and well-written narrative, excellent & surprisingly use of literature & mythology ... all from a Disney kid's show? Yeah, that last detail doesn't make much sense; nevertheless, it was an excellent series.
The Tick
The superhero spoof show; featuring the titantic, blue, nigh-invulnerable, and dim-witted Tick taking centre-stage. Quite a few of the gags in the show were very adult-oriented (i.e.: American Maid accusing Dieflater Mouse... uh, the bat guy of having a "fear of commitment"), which flew over the kids' heads. Good use of more intellient humour as well.
Earthworm Jim
Another superhero spoof show, albeit more zany than the Tick. Based off the video game, it still did a great job of lampooning everything it could. Having one of the catchiest theme songs ever certainly didn't hurt it either. Very silly, but all in good fun.
There's quite a few others I could mention as well, but not enough time at the moment.

Old school Nickelodeon across the board: Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Angry Beavers, Doug, and the like. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
All of the DC Animated Universe cartoons
All of the Spielberg cartoons, especially Animaniacs and Tiny Toon Adventures
Most pre-Angry Beavers Nicktoons (Doug, Rugrats,Rocko's Modern Life, Aaah! Real Monsters...)
Tin Tin
David the Gnome
Beast Wars
and lots more. The 90's was a great time to be a kid.
Edit: How could I forget, Eek! The Cat. That show was awesome, especially the shorts about the dinosaur soldiers.
Edit Edit: More importantly, how could I forget Ducktales, Talespin, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and the series based on The Little Mermaid and Aladdin?
Edit Edit Edit: And Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers and Sonic: SatAM and... okay, I need to stop now. Nostalgia overload here.

Starship troopers: Roughneck Chronicles.
That show was the shit! And I watched it after I saw the film. Yeah, I watched films I shouldn't have when I was younger.

I think Rugrats was probably the best from the 90s. The good thing about the 90s though was that they were still showing all the brilliant shows from the 80s, (along with some pretty good new shows as well).

I still like Animaniacs, Gargoyles, and Prometheus and Bob out of the Western cartoons. I watched the Simpsons when I could sneak it in; that wasn't very often, as I didn't own a TV until I was 12 or 13. I mostly watched what my friends did when I visited. There may be a few others I can't remember. Most of the stuff from the 90's was crap when I look back on it. I didn't watch much anime during the 90's. Mostly stuff like Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, and Digimon. My friend's slavishly watched DBZ. They always talked about it at the bus stop.
