Teen Titans Go! - This series is good for very short, very batshit comedy with good voice actors who have a strong grasp on the characters. The voice actors also did the voices for the earlier and more serious (and for me more enjoyable) cartoon series, Teen Titans (which, if you haven't already seen it, I recommend very highly). The episodes are about twelve minutes long, and there's no continuity between episodes. The characters are recognizably the same as in the previous series, but their choices and actions are, um, well, batshit.
Phineas and Ferb - This is another cartoon series with twelve minute episodes (and the occasional longer special). There's some continuity, but the setting exists somewhere that manages to be both within day trip distance of Mt Rushmore and within day trip distance of the Atlantic Ocean. I can only suppose some weird fold in space. The title characters are two ten (?) year old step-brothers who, with their friends, make spectacularly weird, dangerous, and fun things every episode. Their older sister keeps trying to get their mother to see, but the inventions always vanish (without the kids doing anything to cause it) before the mother arrives. That's the A plot for any episode. The B plot involves the kids' pet platypus who is secretly an agent for an organization that fights supervillains. His nemesis is Dr Doofenschmirtz, who is kind of likable (and pathetic) at the same time he's constantly doing things that might (usually as a side effect) destroy the world or, at least, the town. There are also songs in each episode and a pretty large cast of recurring characters.
Girl Meets World - This is a half hour Disney sitcom that never once made me cringe due to embarrassment humor. It's about a couple of girls in middle school and their friends and families. It's generally feel good/sweet. But it's Disney, so it may be hard to find.
LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures - Actually, any of the LEGO Star Wars things are worth trying if you enjoy Star Wars crackfic. This series is less crack than the others because it doesn't generally include canonical characters. The Freemakers are a trio of siblings (two brothers and a sister0 trying to make a living doing salvage and repair during the days of the Empire (Leia appears in one episode, looking more or less the age she was in the original series). The younger brother proves to be force sensitive and able to track the pieces of an artifact the Emperor wants. There's still a lot of slapstick, but the plot is enjoyable.
The Magic School Bus - I find this series soothing when I don't want to think or to deal with any conflict. It's a PBS Kids cartoon about a teacher, Ms Frizzle, who takes her class on very unusual field trips. Once, they turn into bees. Once, they travel the solar system. There's not a lot of depth to the characters, and some of the science is out of date, but it's cheerful and energetic, and nobody's evil. (I think that a lot of fic writing fans headcanon Ms Frizzle as a Timelord with the Bus as her TARDIS.)
Danny Phantom - This is an old-ish (I have trouble labeling anything that's not older than 1980 as an 'old show', but I think this one is 1990s) cartoon about teens fighting invading ghosts. It skews to the comic rather than to the horrific. The title character gets zapped by something in his parents' lab and suddenly can shift back and forth between being human and being a ghost. He hides this from his parents because they're obsessed with ghosts as evil. Most of the supporting characters are a little one dimensional, but there is development for a few central characters. There are recurring villains, and there's at least one time travel episode.
