Let's see...

Doctor Who
Transformers
Star Blazers (aka Space Cruiser Yamamoto)
Robotech
Battlestar Galactica
Galactica 1980
Star Trek
Warner Brothers' Cartoons (the good ones, Tex Avery &c.) - collectively 
known as "The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour" (or show)

Some non-fiction-ish shows:

In Search Of...
Any of the specials with David Copperfield
Any of the specials with Doug Henning
Fight Back!  (With David Horowitz)
That's Incredible

Going back a bit further, I'd probably add:

Sesame Street
Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
The Electric Company
Romper Room (much earlier that the three above)

When I was around 7 years old, my mom used to bowl and my brother and I 
would stay in the "day care" room at the bowling alley.  The lady who ran 
that forced us to watch "Happy Days" (which I hated) and "Eight is 
Enough".  A few others like "My Three Sons" and "Leave it to Beaver" were 
in there as well.

Oh, yes, Little House on the Prairie.

A few game shows like Joker's Wild, Jeopardy (my dad loved that show), 
The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune - usually what my parents watched 
during dinner.

...and I should have thrown in 'Rawhide' and Walt Disney's 'Wonderful 
World of Color' also.

I could have sworn that 'Combat' was also created by Rod Serling, but 
apparently I'm wrong.

Wonderful World of Disney I do recall watching regularly as well, now you 
mention it.  I also forgot Tom & Jerry, Scooby Doo, The Brady Bunch (some 
of the things I list now just make me shake my head), Popeye, Flinstones, 
the Jetsons.

Not allowed to watch He-Man, She-Ra, Thundercats, Transformers, Voltron, 
G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, et cetera due to satanic (read: has magic) 
and/or violent content.  Whee.  Occasionally sneaked an ep here and 
there while visiting neighbour kids.  :P

I remember watching:
Mysterious Cities of Gold
the Little Prince
Belle and Sebastian
the Little Koala Show
Maple Town
Today's Special (wtf?  that's a magic hat, wonder how that got by)
Sesame Street (pre-Elmo ftw)
Flying House/Superbook
Count Duckula (might've been sneaking that one)
Dangermouse
the Monkees
Mr. Roger's Neighborhood
Mr. Wizard
3-2-1 Contact
Reading Rainbow
Newton's Apple
Square One TV

(ah, Wikipedia, how handy you are at recalling names of old PBS shows)

the Littles
Fraggle Rock

...and I remembered after seeing the titles in other posts:
a few eps of Animated Star Trek
Warner Bros. cartoons
Flintstones
the Jetsons
Tom and Jerry
Happy Days
My Three Sons
(don't think I ever really watched Leave it to Beaver)
Dennis the Menace
Man from UNCLE (one of several shows myself and my sister got grounded 
many times from watching for play-acting scenes therefrom)
Get Smart (might've been a bit later, depends when Nickelodeon added it 
to their lineup)
Wheel of Fortune
Inspector Gadget
ALF (the live-action)

Duck Tales, Chip 'n' Dale, Tail Spin, that batch was more around middle 
school, segue into MacGuyver, Star Trek: TNG, Time Trax, Babylon 5, 
Space Rangers, ST:DS9, seaQuest, Earth 2, et cetera.

Rather loathed Ren & Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life sufficiently on my 
own to not need much encouraging to not watch.  Simpsons and Tool Time 
were, early in their runs, also on the 'not allowed to watch' list, due 
to coarse humour.  Smurfs?  That not only has magic, it has Black Magic 
(thank you, Gargamel).  RIGHT OUT!  (I think I remember watching bits of 
it here and there, though)

Superb. They really must release this on DVD (it is available as 
bootlegs at present), it has a very enthusiastic fan-base and I for one 
would buy it because I missed the last two episodes!

Don't let's forget (I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it):

Ulysses 31 !

I obtained this recently on DVD and it hasn't dated too much at all.
