I'm 22 and was wondering about old kids shows I used to watch like The Real Ghostbusters, TMNT, and Power Rangers, and was wondering when are they considered "classic"?

The fact that Power Rangers has been on the air in some form ever since in premiered keeps that from being a classic. Although I do have fond memories of the original Pink Ranger. Amy Jo Johnson...mmm.
Anyway, I think there is a fine line between shows that are classics and shows that are just nostalgic. TMNT is probably close to that line, but the Real Ghostbusters is not a "classic". It was a cartoon based on a movie, so therefore not original in and of itself. If it had never been made, I don't think too many lives would be different.
Cartoons like GI Joe, Transformers, and He-Man are classics. Those are shows kids rushed home from school to watch. Smurfs, Scooby-doo...these permeate the collective pop-culture consciousness, and that's what makes them classics. So I think the answer to you question isn't simply a matter of time passing to become "classic" as much as whether a majority of people look back on those shows with fond memories 10, 15, 20 years later.

BEST ANSWER
When the show is remebered a decade later or two decades later then poorly reinvented from the original like Voltron and the power rangers or how they tried to bring TMNT back.

I remember those shows!!!.Do you also remember The Puppy Pound, Care Bears, Captain Planet,etc...LOL..I would consider a a TV show classic when it displays characters of good morals and values. I'm shocked whenever I watch TV with my little sister and see what topics and characters are being displayed for our young generation to admire.

I'm thinking 20-25 years until it becomes a classic.

maximum actually lost. It has a extensive fanbase and there is not any longer something like it. It has had a extensive effect on hundreds of human beings's lives and is in basic terms a great instruct. that's in all likelihood classed as a phenominum already.

When Nick at Nite shows it over, and over, and over again. I don't think The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is classic TV. But they show it over, and over, and over gain.
