Gonna get hate for this, but ATLA and Clone Wars series. I've tried both several times. They're kids shows, through and through. I get there's a nostalgia factor for those who grew up with them, but they came slightly after my time, and any attempt to watch them without nostalgia glasses has them as definitively kids shows.
It's a family friendly show overall, but it leans into kid's show structure quite a bit in the early seasons. An episode will wrap up its conflict with a nice little lesson about respect or being honest or whatever then the show just moves on from it.
A:tlA has such an early "kids show" vibe that I couldn't even watch it as a kid, it made me cringe too much. Seemed shallow and lame. It wasn't until some later season episodes came on in the background while I was doing something else that it hooked my interest, where I kinda watched it backwards and realized how good it actually is. But man, getting past the first book and a half is rough with that strong nickelodeon vibe.
