Voltron (Liions, not cars) Transformers, GI Joe, Smurfs, plenty more I can't think of.

Back in the good old days when Saturday morning cartoons were actually fun to watch and not some retarded sponge running around or the 90% of the cartoons that are bad japanimation hacks these days.

My childhood favs:

Transformers
Dungeons & Dragons
GI Joe
He-Man
Voltron
Battle of the Planets (a.k.a. G-Force, Gatchaman [Japan])

I can't believe that on a board like this no one has said Battle of the Planets. That may have been my favorite as a child.

Current favs:

Sealab 2021
Aqua Teen Hunger Force

The Terrible Thunderlizards is the only show I can remember that if I saw today, I would probably like. T-rexes with nukes hunting down the only two humans on the planet, you've got to like that. Sadly, quality shows like that have been replaced by the crap from Japan, comprised of flashing lights and plots consisting solely of transformations.

I was a really big fan of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, but sadly, when Fox re-aired the episodes last year I couldn't even sit through one.

Then they start to face off with guns, then cannons, and then they get married. All this while set to classical music. One of my most favorite cartoons. Haha!

The Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons are classic. My favorite is "Hillibilly Hare" where Bugs turns the table on a pair of Ozark Hillbillies by first luring them to a square dance with his transvestite act then has them beat each other senseless by calling the dance. :D

It's a shame so many of the old cartoons have been put under the PC knife. You may never again see some of the old WB cartoons dealing with the age of vaudeville and others have been sliced up pretty badly to edit out possibly offensive material.
