Main ones i remember from the 80's are..... Dangermouse, Bananaman and Inspector Gadget. Probably because they were humorous to us adults as well.

Tarzan Lord of the Jungle, Spider-Man, Battle of the Planets, Willo the Wisp and Ivor the Engine. (Most of these might be late 70s rather than 80s).

My favourites were:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Real Ghostbusters Thundercats He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers Defenders of the Earth I also liked the 80s Spider-Man series, before it was replaced with Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Doesn't hold a candle to the 90s series, but good for it's time. Some of these cartoons still hold up well today, I can still enjoy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Real Ghostbusters and Season 1 of Thundercats, for example. Whilst some others are probably best left in the realm of nostalgia, eg. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is pretty terrible when watching as an adult lol. |

The 80's produced some brilliant cartoon series. We shouldn't forget Fantastic Max, Pigeon Street, The Shoe People, Centurions, M.A.S.K. |

I had forgotten all about this one until you mentioned it. I checked on YouTube and I did used to watch it as a child.

I prefered the earlier ones iike Valley of the Dinosaurs, The Flintstones, Top Cat, Wacky Races, Dasterdly and Mutley and Scooby Doo (before Scrappy), but a couple of 80's one I did enjoy were The Racoons and the Adventures of Conan.

Not even close. 1974! The true golden age though. Those 80s kids will never know what they missed!

Mysterious Cities of Gold was the best animated series of the 80s. It had a proper serialised story, it went on for ages and the story got crazier and crazier with what started as a quest for gold ended up with an ancient alien race getting involved.

Nobody has mentioned the awesome Battle of the Planets, although it may have been even earlier than the 80's and been late 70's Edit: Apologies, it has been mentioned above. I used to like The Space Sentinels, Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Dogtanian, Around the World with Willy Fog, Jamie and the Magic Torch, Chorlton and the Wheelies. One that I hated at the time, but have since grown to love it, was the original fuzzy-felt type animated version of The Moomins. |

That was my fave!
Especially the one with the Ant and Aardvark ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cDcjU7uLEA Of course the worst thing that happened was when they decided to remake it with PP speaking, think it was on C5 - that was just wrong IMO. |
