There was a vast amount of great cartoons in the 80's. And if you were a cartoon junkie like me, then there are still many you enjoy watching. So let's discuss some of our favorites. For me personally, I was mainly a fan of the action/adventure/fantasy type.
My favorite shows included:
M.A.S.K. The Real Ghostbusters Sectuars Visionaries Voltron He-Man Dragon's Lair Thundercats Silverhawks Astro and the Space Mutts Dinosaucers Tigersharks Transformers Chip & Dales Rescue Rangers C.O.P.S Garfield & Friends Heathcliff Count Duckula Inspector Gadget Robotech Robocop The Mighty Orbots Denver, The Last Dinosaur Dennis the Menace Captain Caveman ...(ect)
So, did anyone else like any of these shows? What were some of your favorites?
Oh, and here's a cool little site I found if you're having trouble remembering some of your favorites:
Some of my faves were Voltron, Masters of the Universe, Superfriends, Smurfs, Pac-Man

Pretty much any cartoon was fair game for me back in the day. Moreover, it's certainly a tribute to how well they were crafted back then that most of them still hold up wonderfully today; even those created then to specifically sell toys work well on their own in hindsight. If I had to pick a top 10:
1. Ducktales 2. The Real Ghostbusters 3. Inspector Gadget 4. Turtles '87 5. The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh 6. Thundercats 7. Dragon's Lair 8. Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats 9. My Little Pony and Friends 10. Dennis the Menace

Aside from the ones already mentioned, a few of my favourites were:
The Mysterious Cities of Gold Dogtanian and The Three Muskehounds Ulysses 31 Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors Godzilla Plastic Man -- which I ordered online last week, and received in the post today.
I haven't watched any of it yet.

I almost bought that Plastic Man DVD set too when I saw it in a music store. If only I had the extra cash to blow I would have. Everyone has all listed some great shows.

While it is a 60's cartoon, it managed to get a lot of air time in the 80's. I used to love it:
Space Ghost:

is it wrong to find cleo from the catillac cats really attractive?

No, she was Cheetara's distant cousin. But it always struck me as odd that Riff-Raff wore a scarf and hat (hence understood the concept of clothes) but Cleo...

yeah i like cheetara too. cleo's only clothes were those leg warmers, that combined with her hairstyle, i believe the animators were going for appeal
Posted by The Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
Space Ghost is great too

i love the theme song to mask and jayce and the wheel warriors.
Posted by The Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
yeah..the theme to M.A.S.K. Is awesome. I remember I had a bunch of the toys as a kid too..and they were awesome too.
Posted by The Good Package (Member # 9492) on :
cartoons aint the same now a days man, i feel sorry for all the kids out there now.
love the theme to the tick, and the gummy bears, i know that sounds funny.
Posted by The Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
woke up in the middle of the night last night, (around 4am or so), to find inspector Gadget being shown on a random channel. Why can't they have a better time slot...i love that show.
Posted by The Good Package (Member # 9492) on :
what gives with the boomerang chanel anyway, all they show is hanna barbara, which is good, but where is the visionaries, or silverhawks or dinosaucers, eek the cat, why arent these shows in the programing, what is holding them up.
and the tick, why is the region 1 dvd version incomplete compared to the region 2. i am considering a move to the uk
