I think this list was missing some key entries.  Rescue Rangers, Tiny Toon Adventures, Danger Mouse, and Heathcliff come to mind.

One thing I would like to point out is that Thundercats intro.  The animation is just amazing (far better than the actual show) and still stands out today as one of the most incredible intros ever.

I watched:

Gummi Bears:
Inspector Gadget:
TMNT:
Real Ghostbusters: I've seen this a little bit.
DuckTales:

Most of my cartoon watching was opportunity.  I was in after-school before getting picked up by my Dad at 6.  They showed a lot of Inspector Gadget.  My buddy's younger brother was into those Disney Afternoon shows (Duck Tales, etc.) so even though I was a little old, I saw a lot of it.  I have never seen Star Wars Droids and Star Wars was my jam, so I'm not sure how I missed out on that.

What I want to know is where is Silverhawks?  That was my jam.

Disclaimer: I spent most of the 80's stationed in Germany, with one US TV station (AFN), though a few of my friends would get VHS or Beta tapes with American shows, including cartoons. Still...I struck out swinging on most of these.

Also being a lazy &$%^ and borrowing Spidey's list...

IMO Dave brings up a good point,I watched more before school and after school, more than Saturday morning.

I watched the Bozo circus/Show in the mornings,they showed different older cartoons (I'll list later)

I watched GI Joe, Scooby Doo,Rocky and Bull winkle,Captain caveman,the Jetsons,The flintstones,Jabber jaw,speed buggy,Wheelie and the chopper bunch,laff-A-lymics,Tom and Jerry, Grape ape,under dog...

(then non cartoon stuff like the Adams family,and the Munsters,and Brady bunch,etc)

[Dave Gray]

My ultimate Saturday Morning show was the Smurfs.  I wasn't into action as a kid....I'm not really into it now, either, actually, as a genre. 

[CF DolFan]

I guess I missed most of the 80s as I was a 70s kid. Give me Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner over any of those any day.

Yep...loved both of those. Also, shows like Scooby Doo, Johnny Quest, The Flintstones, Underdog, Captain Caveman...even Spiderman had a cool cartoon back then.

Yep, most of the stuff you list was on cable on TBS Atlanta or WGN Chicago in the mornings or afternoons. I never really watched too much on Saturday mornings.

Great list! I had forgotten about Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels. Hannah Barbara had some great cartoons and even did mash-ups along with the Laugh Olympics.  Other greats included the Jetsons and Yogi the Bear.   I hadn't thought of most of these in many years.

Fraggle Rock: Groovy educational TV for kids...also for massively stoned adults.

As was just about every show from Sid & Marty Kroft.

This thread has really taken me back.

[Tenshot13]

I'm an 80's kid, and I relate more to Sunstrokes 70's list.

Super Friends is noticeably missing from the list though.  "Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice..."
