Everything I learned, I learned from watching cartoons in the 1980s, back when animated TV shows were nothing more than thirty minute commercials, but there was a moral at the end, damn it!

So those of you old enough to remember those shows (but not so old that you don't care), cast a vote and me know which is your favorite from the list.

If you have an honorable mention, say so.

Transformers pwned, remember when you bought the action figures they'd have stats "secret coded" on the package and gave you a red-filtered piece of plastic to read them?  Good times.

My favorite Transformers toys were the die-cast dinosaurs that transformed into humanoids.  Those were high quality toys.  They cost $7.99 when they first came out, I remember (which as expensive at the time), and they metallic.  Awesome fun.

Wow so many awesome shows!

Was a big fan of the Smurfs. After all, I did make a poll about 'em like 2 weeks ago. LOL

But, I just cannot vote against the Ninja Turtles. They were radical!

Cowabunga!

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

For me, it was and always will be Star Blazers, 1979-1984
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Blazers

"Desslok, Desslok, Desslok...!!!" and the Comet Empire. So much more creative than the American stuff at the time.

Oh yeah... and http://www.starblazers.com/home.php

TMNT then He-Man.  My two favorites from the era.  What good days those were. GI Joes was another one that had a huge impact on me.  Unfortunately, Voltron is awful to watch now. It makes almost no sense (although apparently it was pretty messed up by the American editors anyways).
And it was totally ripped from to make Power Rangers.

The Ghostbuster cartoon series was so awesome. Me and my brother used to watch that all the time when I was little...

Would you like some Bailey's?

Dang man, were the '80's really such a waste land for cartoons?

I'm trying to think but it's making my brain hurt. LOL

Give me Boondocks and Aqua Teen Hunger Force anyday.

I just looked up a listing of '80's cartoons and in all fairness I never watched any of them.

I love most on your list. It's hard to choose from Thundercats, Voltron(Lion Team), He-Man, GI Joe and Visionaries. They never fail to bring back my childhood memories. Ah, good ol memories!!!!

They were cooler if you were a kid at the time.  You can't compare these kid shows to "adult' cartoons like ATHF.

Fraggle Rock rocked! I especially loved the Dozers, or was it Doozers? They were those little guys who built stuff all the time.

I have to agree with you there- especially with a lead actor who had no clue what Transformers were.  LOL
