Best 80s cartoon?

[classical_hero]

Astro Boy FTW.

 

[Rashiminos]

Someone needed to do better poll research: TMNT.

 

[IglooDame]

Super Friends and Bugs Bunny/Road Runner hour, for sure.

Topcat?
Battle of the Planets?
Star Blazers?
Catch that Pigeon?


*sob* I just googled Catch that Pigeon (and related ones, Wacky Racers and the Perils of Penelope Pitstop) and found out that they were from 1969 or thereabouts. I'm presuming I caught them in reruns...

Can I get a Robotech? Not close ...

Can I get a Robotech? Not close ...

I second this. Robotech is definitely my favorite cartoon from the 80s.

I used to watch a lot of Turtles, but I had to pick GI Joe on the list above for the Fensler film dubs of their PSAs.

Just flip it, stick it, see ya later bye!

Jayce and the wheeled warriors.


Link to video.

Best cheezy glam rock theme song ever.

Oh, I remember that one. I've only seen a bit of it, and only because there was a video at the video-rent store. I loved it, and was so sad I wouldn't know how it'd end.

Anyway: Ninja Turtles were very popular, but I think they only appeared in Poland after 1989.

Once upon a time... Life (Il était une fois... la vie)
I loved it.

Smurfs, The Pink Panther,

Definitely He-man too. I still remember which day of a week it used to run.

Krecik, but krecik's career started long before the 80s.

and another czech hit, "Sąsiedzi" (The Neighbours).

Also, all the polish stuff, like Reksio, Mis Colargol, Mis Uszatek

oh, so much good stuff...

WTH? Inspector Gadget not on the list????

I watched Tom and Jerry in the 80s, and I nominate that, even though it's not from the 80s.

I hated Tom & Jerry, that mouse was such an @$$h01e, I wanted him to die so bad!!

 

[Ramius75]

i will go for Transformers.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles although I didn't watch it in the 80's. If wikipedia is to be believed it first aired in Germany in 1990.
What I did watch in the 80's was He-Man. It was incredibly gay and didn't age well but I liked the show when I was a child.

 

[Leonel]

How the hell do people like Thundercats? That was one of the ass-suckingest shows ever.

Yeah I'd have to agree. I was the quintessential 80's child that loved watching American cartoons in Singapore and Thundercats was pretty low in the ladder of 80's cartoons I'd want to watch.

 

[Patroklos]

Tail Spin.

 

[Nylan]

I didn't vote that way, but the correct answer is Star Blazers.

 

[BasketCase]

Calvin & Hobbes.

 

[twansalem]

I voted other. As others have already stated, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was easily the best cartoon of the decade.

On another note, I had a college roommate who was obsessed with Robotech. I don't know what anyone sees in that garbage.

 

[Furiey]

I think most of those I remember are pre 80's. I was going to suggest Dangermouse but I think that was 70s. I did laugh at the mention of Chorton & the Wheelies!

 

[ParadigmShifter]

If I did a good deed the other day, it was introducing Ziggy to Chorlton and the Wheelies. "Oooh, eck!". Classic.

American boy born in the 70's might say: Transformers, Superfriends, GI Joe, Dungeons & Dragons
American boy born in the 80's might say: TMNTurtles, GI Joe, Heathcliff/Inspector Gadget/the Nickelodeon toons
American girl born in the 70's/80's might say: Smurfs, Snorks, Wuzzles, Jem, Scooby Doo

Only today am I finally learning what a European boy or girl might say - very interesting too.

voltron was cool
