The only thing I really remember wanting to get home faster not to miss a single second of was Pokemon. Before and after that, in my life, the shows I was most excited for came on at prime time (like everything on TGIF back in the day).

Just take a look
It's in a book
Probably any of: GI Joe, Transformers, and/or He-Man.
But I had to wake up at 6 fucking AM to watch Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors for some fucking reason.
well they were some quick changin fightin machines. I actually found it on one of the free streams and man was that a hokey story line. I was the same though. I don't recall but it was usually some cartoon because that was what was on at a time I might catch it if im fast enough.
Mtv, back when it only aired music videos.
At various different points of my life: Pokemon, Recess, Kim Possible, the Simpsons, Spongebob, Fairly Odd Parents
All in order?

d-d-d-digimon
Yeah. The original digimon series was the best. Dont remember much of the story, but the feeling it left is still very vivid.
I don't remember exactly either, but the villains are very intimidating it was truly an adventure.
My wife said Card Captor Sakura. I remember Gundam Wing and Zenki were on in the early afternoon. YuYu Hakusho was a little later so I was already home for a while by the time it started.

Dragon Ball Z. But that wasn't on until 5, and I had to sit through the other crap that Cartoon Network played before that.

Transformers and thundercats
The 1980's Thundercats or the 2011 Thundercats (or the newest Thundercats, I don't judge)?
80s. I was lucky enough to live near a large Japanese population so on Saturday mornings it was Gundam and Dragonball
Weekdays we had Star Blazers. Watched a couple episodes with my youngest who is an artist and boy...we're there some terrible animations in it!
10yo me loved it though
I would recommend the 2011 version, it's like they took notes from Avatar.
You didn't specify WHICH school. Assuming elementary school, it was probably Star Trek. If it was something like college then it would probably have been something like... oh yeah Star Trek.
Bus ride meant I missed a good hour of the 'toons. But every Wednesday evening there was a test of the local fire station's air siren, and I'd know it was time to rush home and catch MacGyver!
The Goodies, and Monkey. Can't remember which one came on first.
Toonami in general
Tenchi
Darkwing Duck. High School and college, actually.
Power Rangers?
All of y'all with your fancy cable network toonami and cartoon network eh.
And here I was stuck with FOX and WB (basically just pokemon)
We had a whole afternoon program filled with Anime. It brought me sailor moon, ranma, Pokémon, DragonBall, Digimon and so many more! Good old times.
Limba the white lion.
I've heard of Simba and Kimba but not Ligma. I guess if the formula works...
Scooby-Doo
Liberty’s Kids and Cyberchase
Loved Cyberchase! I watched it in after school a lot. I think PBS was all we got.
Ducktales
I was a scrawny kid with asthma and a head too big for his body. But I RAN to the bus after school and shot through the front door to the TV. That year started with Battle of the Planets and then blended into Robotech into one long japanimation smear only broken by a summer of Return of the Jedi and lots of comic books that suddenly got dark.
Why yes, I too am also in my 30s just like everyone that commented here!
I also end almost every sentence or text with LOL.
More seriously, I’ll also toss out Beast Wars (Transformers) since that wasn’t mentioned.
50+ dude, here: there was no show I rushed home for as... I was not allowed to watch TV when I was a child. Heck, we even had not tv up until I was 8, or maybe 9.
Later, as a teen and after my parents finally got a tv, I would voraciously watch the Twilight Zone (the Rod Serling version, in B&W) but its episodes were aired on week-ends. So I had no real need to rush either ;)
Nowadays, My spouse and I have quit watching tv since the early 00s, when we realized we were getting tired of spending money while still have to watch ads... all of that for contents we were not really huge fans of. So we don't have a TV at all, when we watch a disc or something, it's on a computer screen.
Talk Soup
As someone who did this through my entire childhood, I wish someone had dragged me to a club. I love games, loved me some Robotech. But damn I would rather have learned social interaction. It all worked out (spoiler: I learned to make 010101 turn into money)
My brother and I liked watching Code Lyoko and Code Name: Kids Next Door
