You're kidding! The 60's were much better. Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet etc. Ok, maybe not cartoons but Supermarionation was a far superior special effect. Wink

I'll have to go with Transformers, but mostly because of the animated movie.  Kids get much better quality cartoons nowadays IMO.  I wish I had stuff like Samurai Jack and Avatar when i was growing up...

Unless those shows featured giant robots changing into cars, jets or other stuff, they definitely sucked.

Guess what I voted for.

Clarke2001, yup, there were many good cartoons here. The Wolf and the Hare, the Mole, Reksio, Bolek i Lolek, all good stuff. Love the sig, BTW Clap

"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


Loved that one myself, but I'd count it as a 70's show, since it's just a dubbed and partially re-edited (and renamed) version of Space Battleship Yamamoto ('74-'80).  I seem to remember it going by a Yamamoto name, like Space Cruiser Yamamoto, when it was on in Canada.

I don't remember many good cartoons on TV coming out in the 80s.  My favourite animated show as a child was Planet of the Apes, but as a kid I wasn't generally that big on animated shows (though some I really liked).  It was shows like Doctor Who, Land of the Lost, The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, The Prisoner, UFO, Star Trek, The Tomorrow People etc. that really captured my imagination as a youngster (lots of stuff I was watching in re-runs).

There was one from the 80's that I really liked called The Mysterious Cities of Gold.

Doesn't count as it wasn't a show, but Akira is a high point of 80's anime, and in other films, my fave is "When the Wind Blows," and "Plague Dogs" is very good....
Duos for fave acts

How about the animated Star Trek from the '70's?  Haven't seen that in ages.  Some good writing, but the animation for the scenes in which they were running always cracked me up. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Here's a vote for Silverhawks.  My son watched that show every morning before I carted him off to daycare.
 
The might, the menace, of MONSTAR!
 
There was also one which I don't see in the list called Sabre Rider and the Star Sheriff, or something like that.  It aired right after Silverhawks and hence was another favorite.
 
There's still a box of mutilated Silverhawks toys (missing arms, legs, etc.) down in the basement.

MonStar was the craziest villain- he even rode in a space octopus-like creature.  I loved the whole mob too- Molecular, Mumbo-Jumbo, Windhammer, Buzz-Saw, Poker-Face, Hardware.  Good times.

Melodia was kind of annoying though...

And here's someone with WAY too much time on his hands:

For me it's a tie between Transformers and TMNT.

Off these list, He-Man, followed by The Smurfs and Gi-Joe

Actually that was from the 70's.  But they aired it in the US in the 80's as Tranzor Z.  But yeah, the Japanese were always ahead with the animation. I grew up on all those mecha anime.

It depends on what you saw or are seeing , sure there are loads of cr*p out there but in general terms. I think that they are better at storytelling , and much more diverse than the dated superheroes cartoons from Marvel and DC.

The Fraggle Rocks!!!
 
Or the Smurfs too.
 
And one of my fave was some sort of manga version of The Three Musketteers in which Aramis was actually a girl (made me waste about 3 years thinking I could also be a musketeer when I'd grow up, why the heck my parents didn't tell me they weren't any musketeers anymore is a mystery)

Yo those are the very ones!  Our MonStar toy had a little flip up head, where he looked benign at one moment and then push the button on his back and,...the might, the menace....
 
Don't know if that particular little toy survived...I need to go on a Silverhawk hunt through the kids' stuff (said kids are now 23-24 years old...)
