Nothing beats the Transformers. G.I. Joe was close, but the Transformers kill all. Optimus Prime was a bitch though. It was always about Megatron!
Don't forget about Voltron too.

When I have kids, they will not watch crap like Sponge Bon etc. I am currently collecting all the classic Cartoons on DVD. I have the first 2 Seasons of the Transformers, all 140 episodes of Tom and Jerry and some of Scooby Doo.

Roadrunner (and Scooby Doo for that matter) wasn't in the 80's genius'.

I have asked myself that question. Probably she was ugly.

Glad to see Garfield and Friends being mentioned... that was always my favorite, except for the U.S. Acres stuff that went with it. I still like that show. I picked it up a while ago (several episodes on dvd), along with my favorite non-cartoon show-- MacGyver.

Transformers was good, I also liked Thundercats.
Speaking of cartoons, is it me or has the whole Saturday morning cartoon thing gone out the window? When I was a kid, almost every major network had nothing but cartoons from 6am-noon every saturday. I'm thinking I might do the same as KROC and start collecting them on DVD. As if my future kids are going to watch trading spaces and extreme makeover every Saturday

Makes sense though.... in the days of Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Toon Disney, and the like; what's the point of filling Saturday morning programming with cartoons when you can be advertising to adults?

Truth be told, the cartoons of the '80s were dirt in comparison to ones of the '70s and earlier.

27 ConcordeBoy: ....also have something of a physical-fitness theory on this, hear me out: ITEM 1: In the 70s/80s, cartoons (for boys) centered around built-ass MoFos
28 Mexicana757: I think no one has mentioned this one.... Mighty Mouse!! And dont forget Tom and Jerry.
29 TriStarEnvy: Eh? What was that Logan? Where am I?!?!? Wait? Isn't it time for Johny Quest? Where the hell is my Quisp and Quake cereal?!??!?
30 Redngold: This one may have been started in the 70s, but I watched it as a young child on my friend's cable TV ... FAT ALBERT!
31 ConcordeBoy: ...you're nearly a half-century too late on that one. Tom & Jerry have been chasing each other around since 1939.
32 KROC: I agree. Saturday morning cartoon's are a joke these days. You can't even sit down and catch Looney Tunes anywhere. My kids will get to enjoy real ca
33 Cornish: Same problem in the UK - unfortunately all those great Loony Toons and Tom and Jerry cartoons seem to have disappeared as they are deemed to be far t
34 Gkirk: Indeed, instead of He Man and the likes in the UK, we now have Dick and Dom and MOM or whatever it is. Even Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a classic
37 TriStarEnvy: And some of those Pillsbury "Space Snack" sticks....
38 JGPH1A: Trapdoor is pure genius - really really funny. Willie Rushton is hilarious.
39 OYRJA: What about the cartoon series "Mask Crusaders". That show was pretty famous afaik. I had alot of Mask toys when I was younger.
40 PHLBOS: So that's who made them. I thought they were called Space Food Sticks. Who knows, maybe that's what my older brother refered to them as.
41 TUNisia: Was I the only person who watched: David The Gnome and... Maya The Bee
42 LHMark: I remember mask. They had a motorcycle that turned into a helicopter.
43 Leezyjet: Not a cartoon, but Thomas the Tank Engine was great. I loved all those real object animation shows like Wallace and Gromit, Morph etc. Must have taken
44 Greyhound: I think so! My Mom's friend Karen (who lives in Manchester) would send me Thomas the Tank Engine books when I was little, before it ever got big here
45 ConcordeBoy: *buzz* WRONG! Tom & Jerry first appeared in a short animation mini-clip on October 12, 1939; and appeared in their first feature cartoon on February
46 KROC: My fault Fruitcake, they did make their debut in 1940. I had my dates mixed with another.

55 Mirrodie: Transformers was aliiight, I thought Gobots never got the credit they deserved. Voltron was decent. But as rightfully said, you can't beat Tom and Jer
56 ShyFlyer: I have that one and the car in a box somewhere. The theme song really brought back the memories though. http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Studio/347

71 ConcordeBoy: Surprised that no one remembers/has mentioned: ...Fighting crime, in a future time!
72 Greyhound: I thought that big fat mouse, Monterrey Jack, was funny
73 TriStarEnvy: Damn! Yeah, one of the characters was a goofball, and stuttered, or something like that....Crap, this will bother me, 'til I think of it....
74 Mirrodie: The name of hte show is just on the tip of my tongue. Defenders of the earth?? WAIT BATTLE OF THE PLANETS!!!
