My top 10, in random order:

1. G-Force
2. Heathcliff
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
4. Thundercats
5. Denver the Last Dinosaur
6. The Simpsons (it started in the late 80s, thus technically an 80s cartoon)
7. GI Joe (OK in retrospect i really hate the USA uber alles ideals masquerading in a children's program, but loved it back in the days)
8. Robocop
9. Spiderman
10. Sylvanian Families (sp?)

I used to watch loads of other cartoons, but those were my regular and most beloved ones.

PS1 My fav cartoon of all time? Road Runner
PS2 I wouldn't classify Fraggle Rock as a cartoon, it's a puppet show like the other famous Jim Henson creation, Muppet Show.

no sambuca, i'm talking about the Fraggle Rock Cartoon (it does exist), not the puppet version, I think the cartoon only lasted one season though.

R.I.P David the Gnome (1586-1986)

[–] fitzpatrick86 19 years ago

Yes I used to love that show, the title eludes me but something about special in the title.

reply

[–] fitzpatrick86 19 years ago

In the children's department of a major department store, each night Jodie when she arrives for work carries a mannequin (Jeff) upstairs, where Muffy says the magic words "hocus pocus alimagocus!" From there Jeff comes to life, and hilarity ensues.

Many early episodes focused on a tangible object as a subject, such as hats or costumes, with the show revolving around teaching about that subject. Later episodes dealt with more complicated subjects, such as the episode "Wishes" dealing with sacrificing one thing for another, or "Phil's Visit", which dealt with alcoholism.

[–] vict113 19 years ago

How can you remember these cartoons when you were only 0-2 yrs old in the 80's? In fact, you nearly missed the whole decade. I don't remember anything when I was 2. That's like the time when Mandy Moore commented about how great 1986 was during the 1986 edition of "I Love the 80's" on VH1...

[–] fitzpatrick86 19 years ago

Actually the 86 in my screen name has nothing to do with the date I was born I was born in 1980, if that's what you're refering to.

reply

[–] vict113 19 years ago

No, I was referring to the comments made by Haids1987 about being born in 1987, see above ^

reply

[–] Literary18 19 years ago

I was born in '85 but remember david the gnome and little bits and various others people have mentioned. it's the miracle of reruns. and if you stayed up till 3 am, you can catch even older stuff. i used to be a huge Mork and Mindy fan, and that was from like 83 right? i'll look it up.
and i'm sad i didn't get to see david the gnome in spanish. i'd be fluent by now! lol. all i have is dora the explorer and some other cartoon with a spanish family.

[–] orquidea_wolvie 19 years ago

I loved She-Ra....please tell me you all remember She-Ra, totally Hemans twin Sister, whos identity was Adora. I also loved Scooby Do, Muppet Babies, David the Gnome, Maya the Bee, Koala (I hated Pinky), Garfield, Tiny Toons, Snorks, Smurfs, Lady Lovelylocks, Inspector Gadget. They also had, on Nickelodeon for some time, Grimms Fairtales adapted into cartoons, I loved those. I enjoyed the back to the future cartoons, teenage mutant ninja turtles, Gummy Bears, Beetlejuice, My Little Ponies, Care Bears, X-Men, classic disney cartoons, Count Duckula, Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats and Doug. I feel as if I had too much time on my hands as a child, no wonder I'm fat...so much television so little exercise. LOL

How is it that I haven't seen people mention Fraggle Rock??? Oh...sad.

reply

[–] spikesgal180 19 years ago

maybe because it says "favorite cartoon". if it was just any kids show then i would have said "Fraggle Rock" as well as a bunch of others.
