Greatest 80s cartoon EVER

What!? No Battle of the Planets love? Your lists suck, and I’m unsubscribing to your newsletters.

22

No love for DuckTales?

GI Joe and Transformers and Masters of the Universe and Thundercats all rock - as does Dangermouse and Count Duckula.

23

Chip & Dale’s Rescue Rangers! :slight_smile:

I wish they’d put the series on DVD. :frowning:

24

Man, the 80s must have really sucked if cartoons like those are considered great. Even the best of them were never more than striving to be mediocre – and usually couldn’t get up to that level.

25

Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.

26

IMDB lists it as 1978.

And it took Greenback to remind me that Danger Mouse is the undeniable winner of this debate.

27

Um, I watched it in the Netherlands? :wink:

Fine. Then I’m switching to Silverhawks. Any show that uses Maggie Wheeler as voice talent has my vote.

28

I can’t believe nobody’s mentioned Hong Kong Phooey. Now that I think of it, that may have been the 70’s, but I watched it in the 80’s, dammit.

USA Cartoon Express was my friend.

29

Justice League only began its run in 2001.

30

ThunderCats!
GO!!!

31

My list:

  1. Transformers (natch :wink: )
  2. Dungeons & Dragons
  3. Mighty Orbots
  4. G.I. Joe
  5. Thundercats

Go watch the G.I. Joe two-parter “A Nice Little Town Called Springfield” and get back to me. A mindfuck that bad needed Patrick McGoogan in it somewhere, not on a “kiddie” cartoon… :eek:

(Granted, none of the '80s cartoons were on the level of WB’s Batman animated series, but what is?)

32

I’m pretty sure everybody meant Superfriends, which I believe had runs in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.

I own the DVD sets. :slight_smile: My favorite part is where Wonder Woman tows water in a net.

33

That’s just … awesome.
My favorite part was where Superman shook Gleek really fast and basically vibrated him into a monkeybag of jello-like remains.

God, how I wish that had really happened…

34

I knew I wasn’t watching Jem all by myself!

Also, Ghostbusters.

35

You mean The Real Ghostbusters, right? The other one with the ape wasn’t bad, but you can’t beat the original guys. :slight_smile:

And I still have a pair of horrible earrings that look just like Jem’s. I’ll wear them every now and then and talk to Synergy.

36

I hope you refer to the REAL Ghostbusters, not that other crap.

My list:

  1. Transformers
  2. GI Joe
  3. The *Real * Ghostbusters
  4. Voltron
  5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
37

Fourth.

38

Natch. I could never decide who was hotter, Peter or Egan.

39

So, no votes for Ren & Stimpy, yet?

:dubious:

40

90s, weren’t they?
