I was fixing to go on about 80s cartoons in another thread, so I thought I'd start this thread.
So, is there anyone that remembers and still enjoys 80s cartoons?
My favourites are Jem, She-Ra, Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony, The Smurfs, Legend of Zelda... Just to name a few.
I've got all 65 episodes of Jem on VHS, and the two DVD boxsets that were released, as well as all thirteen episodes of Zelda, and I just ordered the She-Ra Best of DVD boxset.

As for live action shows...The Facts of Life, Punky Brewster, Mama's Family (I love that show!) ... I could go on there, too, but there were so many good 80s sitcoms.

Anyone else have any favourites?

I used to watch Jem and the Holograms... but I was too young to remember it except for a few brief images.

OMG,I have Punky Brewster's christmas special on tape, along with a few episodes of the animated series Laughing

.

I think I have an episode of Rainbow Brite around, too. I remember liking that, though, because I like colors.

I liked the Smurfs more than I liked the Snorkles.

I had a gazillion My Little Ponies, but now I have like 5.

I have a few things of Carebears recorded, too.

There's a few things I remember that might be border line 80s/early ninties, so I would have to look a few things up before I said anything else I liked.

Darn those Snorks for sounding like scuba equipment Laughing

. There's this skit from Family Guy where they make fun of the Smurfs and their language. "Right in the Smurfin' parking lot? That's freakin' Smurf!" Laughing

I have a Maxie tape upstairs! I remember thinking it was a relative of Barbie Laughing

. I have a Barbie and the Rockers thing, too. I need to go through my old tapes and see what I have.

I have a Care Bears movie, too. Care Bears in Wonderland, I think...

I used to watch the Care Bears and My Little Pony. I remember that I had a ton of the My Little Pony Toys and one Care Bear.

But my favorites were Garfield and Friends and Inspector Gadget. Maybe I should get those on DVD...

On Adult Swim, they're playing "Peewee's Playhouse" and I've been watching it alot lately. Why can't more kid's shows be like this?

I used to watch Inspector Gadget like every day. I made fun of him a lot, though. I also watched Pee Wee's Play House. I have to remember to turn on the TV when it comes on, so I know what the secret word is. That way, when my husband says it, I can scream and he'll be all, "You're weird."

I still have my My Little Ponies. My mother bought them for me when I was little when she found them on clearance because she thought they were cute. I never watched the cartoon, though.

Ah, Inspector Gadget... I never managed to watch that until fairly recently, and even then, only a few episodes. It's a bit nerve-grating, but the character themes from Inspecteur Gadget are awesome. Very Happy

80's kid here. Loved toons as GI Joe, C.O.P.S, Dinoriders and many others. Series as Knight Rider, Love Boat, Operation Petticoat, The A-Team, Full House (of course). the muppets, Saved by the Bell, Airwolf, Happy Days.

But not everything from that decade is great. I hate "Married...With Children" that's stil being in reruns today. The Cosby Show, Life Goes On, Who's the Boss?, Empty Nest.

Special shows that are forgotten about but where excellent then Unsolved Mysteries, Murphy Brown, Beauty and the Beast with Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman), Alfred J. Kwak and Midnight Caller.

I played allot with actions toys as Transformers and He-Man but mostly I was playing with my Lego.

Oh the Muppets! I used to watch "Fraggle Rock" all the time and we recently saw the first season on DVD. Jim Henson is a pure good.

Ironically, I used to hate the Muppets until I saw Muppet Christmas Carol. When I was little, my definition of 'Muppets' was 'Muppet Babies' and I hated that show with a passion.

Somehow, I never made the connection that Sesame Street was also Muppets. Razz
