Top 10 TV Shows that You've Grown Out Of
I was inspired to make this list because I've been seeing older users (most of them in their late teens and 20s) obsessing over children's media so much, and kids' channels that are high on the Best TV Channels list. IMHO, I don't really think they should be watching kids' shows and instead watch stuff that's intended for their actual age demographic. I say this not just because you grow up and become an adult, but because sometimes people grow out of certain things. I should know this because when I was young I used to be so obsessed with cartoons. Now that I'm older I don't really have any interest in them anymore. Tastes change and it's just a natural part of life. I'm pretty sure most of the users on this site have grown out of some of these shows. Not saying some of them are bad or anything, it's just that they probably just couldn't do a whole lot for you once you got older.Please know that this list is subjective and there's nothing wrong with no longer liking a show you used to like. Feel free to add whatever show you want as long as you've grown out of it/stopped liking it.
This list isn't just for kids' shows, but for teen/adult shows as well (those that haven't really aged well or were probably not even good to begin with). Feel free to add them too if you want.

One could pretty much say they've grown out of Dan Schneider live-action sitcoms in general. I know I liked some of his shows as a kid, but I've pretty much grown out of live-action kids sitcom comedies in general. It's especially grown out of me now that Schneider's split with Nickelodeon due to abusive harassment allegations.

This seemed cool when I was 13-15 years old, but now I see it for what it is, a poor man's version of The Simpsons (which is so much better), for people who have never seen The Simpsons!
It's an adults show. It's for any age above 18. How can you grow out of it? I don't understand it.
This used to be my favourite show but now I find it kind of repetitive.

Rugrats is an American animated television series created by Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain for Nickelodeon. Eh, it still holds up to me as a Nicktoon classic, but then again, I never really watched much of the episodes, so I'm probably not a big fan of it like others are.
I still like this

It’s getting better, but I can see how bad episodes made you lose faith in SpongeBob.

I love this show but I hate the new Netflix version.

It is owned by Canadian Studio WildBrain, which is the largest independent Children's and Adolescent's Film Studio I love Teletubbies, though I'd have to be honest if I said that I don't watch it anymore. Yeah, it's a pre-school show that I'd look back on and say "Oh, I used to watch that show years ago. Good times". I understand that notion.
This also extends to most other cartoons and kids/tween shows. The only animated media that I take interest in is Anime and I'd rather watch something like Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Westworld or a documentary off Nat Geo or Discovery Channel than any other T.V. shows.
Them monsters used to terrify me when I was younger.
I think everyone grows out of preschool shows.
18 Dora the Explorer
Dora the Explorer (2000 - 2019) is an American preschool educational animated TV series created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh, and Eric Weiner in which Dora goes on adventures with her friend, a monkey named Boots.

Another show I used to love when I was younger. And we have people hating it just because it's cool. Why do people act so damn proud if they hate kids cartoons while they're over the age of 18? It's normal, not something to be proud of. You haven't achieved anything, so get off your damn high horse.
19 Jessie
