He-Man clearly is the top 80's cartoon. Honorable mention to Thundercats, She-Ra, Transformers, X-Men, TMNT, G.I. Joe, C.O.P.S., Gobots, Voltron, and Silverhawks. They don't make cartoons like they used to.
 
Robotech was the best hands down and the first example of the anime genre that I am aware of.
 
I'm gonna go ahead and fly my freak flag and say that I LOVED Zoobilee Zoo.
 
I picked "The Gummy Bears." This show not only had action and adventure, it was also smart and remained family friendly. Also, it was the prototype on which the rest of Disney's afternoon block of animation, such as "DuckTales," "Chip 'n' Dale's Rescue Rangers," and "Tail Spin" were based on. If there was no "Gummy Bears," then there would have been no "Gargoyles," which is hands down one of the best animated shows to come out of the West.

Actually, "Robotech" came out in the U.S. in 1984, the same year as "Voltron - Defender of the Universe."



However, "Speed Racer" aired in the U.S. in 1967-68.

 
Here's another anime, one that was produced in Japan in 1988. Fun Fact: This show was produced by Haim Saban, who would go on to found Saban Entertainment, which created "The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" and similar live action shows from the 1990's.

Best theme song ever.

Haim Saban should have been strangled as an infant. His crimes against humanity in the creation of power rangers and beetleborgs are unspeakable
 
Was I the only nerd that loved MathNet on Square One?

And...who remembers Captain Caveman?
 
I was into Doctor Who and Star Trek from an early age. But I thnk I liked Scooby Doo and Electric Company when I was younger than 8
