Shows that are still good when you watch them again today or shows that haven't gotten terrible over the years?
Because I have no good examples of the latter.

But there are a few old shows that I still like re-watching today; Winnie the Pooh, Fireman Sam, Thomas & Friends, Pingu and Postman Pat. I still enjoy watching the original episodes, not so keen on the 3D treatment most shows have gotten.

Winnie the Pooh is awesome.

LOL, I would also have Russian audio no subs over not getting shows at all, as I can understand it... but they usually dub things in such a lazy manner with ONE PERSON just making a narration. It's so ghetto. The worst that I got was I think Swedish audio with Chinese hard subs that were gigantic over like 1/3 the screen so heinous. Another I got had the aspect ratio changed from 16:9 to 4:3 for some damn reason. Always start with one episode and do a quality check before downing full series.

I think after season 14 it's slowly gone downhill, and it died to me the day they used Ke$ha's song for the intro.

Animaniacs not only holds up, it is better as an adult.  Nostalgia + I get all the references now.  My kid has access to all the Power Ranger variants from Mighty Morphin' to Super Samurai on Netflix.  I was a bit too old to be into them as a kid, but as an adult, I see that they are suprisingly good and often self-consciously hilarious.

Seinfeld on the other hand is NOT holding up.  The Simpsons died for me around 2000-2001.  I don't even bother with the new stuff, but the 90s era is still gold.

I haven't seen them recently, but anyone else here watch the older pre-Nicktoons shows?  David the Gnome, Cities of Gold, some koala show whose name escapes me... ?  I used to watch the business out of those.

First seasons of Postman Pat, Thomas The Tank engine ect.

And robot wars, anyone else remember the original series? Getting my members pass and a behind the scenes VHS was the best thing ever!
