I was born in 1978 and let me tell you...the 80's were the best years of my life!!! The cereal and the cartoons, the movies and the toys, the music and the mindsets....absolutely no other decade like it!!!
I was born in 1975 so I know what you mean by far the 80s was the best time for anything from movies, tv shows and music, to this very day I still Adore the 80s movies, tv shows and music and I have a lot of it as well, best time ever especially when compared to today.
Thank You for saying this.
I was born in 1972 . Great times!
@@slappywag7210 Born in 1954 and growing up with the Saturday morning 60s cartoon shows mostly for Hanna -Barbera productions and the Flintstones was a personal favorite. Then in 1979, the studio hired me to animate this show that was rebranded with their kids and modernized a bit for new sequels later.
You said it! 80's rock! Best cartoons around!
Kids now will never get that feeling of waking up 7:00am on Saturday and watching cartoons till it ended with The Saturday Morning Special.
on the plus side, they can watch these cartoons and more on the internet and they never have to wait until Saturday to get their cartoon fix.
@@UltimateGamerCC wack
Thats my favorite cartoons
so true Saturday mornings was the golden hours in my childhood!!!
Getting up early and having some cereal. Man…. Good times.
I was born in August of 1974, but was not introduced to Saturday Morning or Weekday Cartoons until 1985.
A few "Honorable Mentions" should include "The Snorks", "Kid Vid" (early MTV era), and "The Gummi Bears" as not many youth at heart remember these...
Thank you for allowing me to feel 12yo again!
1980s cartoons rock I’m a 1976 baby myself and I still talk about these cartoons when the right moment arises. God bless you all.
Ditto
Being a kid in the 1980's watching these cartoons after school and on Saturday mornings was the absolute best. If you know, you know.
Along with the toys, snacks, cereal, candy, commercials, and going outside to play. Then all the movies and TV shows. 80s childhood was glorious.
Yep born 1980
true, only the ones who lived it know it
100%
There will never be another Era in Cartoons like the 80s!
I was already a grown man myself by then but I fully agree.
Ah,a the good old days.
True story I agree 100%
We need to find a way to return to those serious animated days, and not todays only cheap bubble gum ass style crap with very dumbed down plots for kids to be brain dead too.
So happy to have been born in ‘81 getting to experience it all
The 80s shaped so much culture from cartoons, music, fashion, movies, tv…to me the 80s is the absolute most iconic and best decade.
I'd actually forgotten about many of these.
But this brought back many memories
If your were a kid in the 80s and 90s you had a great childhood. I can remember as a kid waking up early Sat to watch cartoons all morning.
I'm so glad I grew up in the 80's! It was the best time to be a kid!
agree 100%, what an amaizing decade the 80's, in all aspects
@@AiVaultGuyme too
Couldn’t have said it better
Had the best music fur sure. And an amazing president. But the 90s got it beat when it comes to movies and family sitcoms.
80's: Best time to be a kid, not so much an adult.
Great Video. Some Honorable Mentions. Blackstar (1981) , Star Blazers (1979 - 1981), Tarzan Lord of the Jungle (1976 - 1980), Force Five (1980 - 1981), Web Woman (? maybe earlier than 80s), The World of Strawberry Shortcake (1980). Most 80s shows were devised to sell toys.
Blackstar & the Star Sword! Where you think they got He -Man from?
As a 80s kid, Saturday morning cartoons were the greatest, the 80s had the best cartoons in human history. I now have a 5 year old daughter and I'm getting her hooked on the 80s and earlier cartoons, she absolutely loves him. Right now Roadrunner & Coyote and Slimer is her favorite characters. I'm sure next week it will change. I'm so glad that I was a 80s kid and experienced that era.
I was born 1948 He man one of my favourite super hero & teenag time Thundercat 🤘🏻 lot's support & like's from India 😇
Not quite as old (1956) but I completely agree.
I was born in 1983 and was I lucky to be born in that time and watch all these classic cartoons. Thundercats, Transformers, The Real Ghostbusters, Dino-Riders, Teddy Ruxpin, and David the Gnome. All of these shows I would watch a lot of as a kid. So many memories.
It was such a perfect time back Then, between watching all these animated shows, then switching back-and-forth between nickelodeon and MTV. It really got no better than that.
what an amaizing decade the 80's, in all aspects
Man, I don't know how Robotech didn't make the list. That was my favorite growing up. It had a toy line, and a video game was made after it
Also several movies! Bro I just said the same thing! I have those video games still & the series & movies! Love ROBOTECH!
I was just thinking to myself they better have Robotech on this shit lol my cousin just died a year ago and that was our favorite cartoon growing up
Robotech was a spin off cartoon that failed - the cartoon wasn't where it started. The board game was the start and the part that was successful. Robotech cartoon only lasted a few episodes. It was also from the 90s.
Robotech came out in 84 and went thru 3 edited sagas from Macross, Masters, Generations. But it originally wasn't a Saturday cartoon is why it's probably not on this list.
You’ve got them all except one which was my favorite.. “BlackStar”. The adventures of John BlackStar and the Torbits. 👍🏼🤘🏼✌🏼
The eighties were the best years ever.
You got that right.
Absolutely!
All except the majority of the music, I agree.
🍻❤️🔥🤘🏼❤️🔥🍻
Yup 💯🙌🏾
80's cartoons were the absolute BEST!! They don't make'em like this anymore, today's kids are sadly unfortunate(🤣🤣)!! Glad to be a member of GEN X!!!😁💯
APRIL O'NEILL!!!!
Y'all didn't have anything special we had ed edd Eddy codename kids next door TMNT 03 and 12 and like 250 plus more I could list 80s cartoons are trash compared to 90s and 2000s
@@jtmassecure4488 your a trip. im the oldest xillinal 1981 i seen both. they were all soft no action school yard bs
I thank God that I was born in 78 to experience Everything 80s. The cartoons, music, movies, public school, Wrestling, everything was so memorable and entertaining. I loved to sing along to the theme music to many of these cartoons, especially Thundercats, He-man, The Smurfs, Shining Time Station, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Chipmunks, and Ducktales to name a few. All I needed was some Honey Smacks, peanut butter and jelly sandwich and my mornings were lit!
We were so lucky 2B kids in The Awesome 80s! To ths day I relive it all! 80s is all I watch!!!
watching Cartoons never truly gets old, there's always something to appreciate about them.
Too bad most audiences nowadays can't just sit down and enjoy. All they want is ultra sappy, serious teen drama. No fun anymore
i was born in 1973....how I miss the 1980s...cartoons music and movies were the best....everything in this video are all my childhood memories
San k pinanganak
72 6 just pass right with you on that one 👍🏿🫵🏿👍🏿✊🏿
I had almost everything on all these cartoons
OMG another super nice cartoon
73’ here also 🙌🏼
*An impressive list with lots of worthy nominations... However: Titles like **_Teen Wolf, The Muppet Babies, Astro Boy, Ulysses 31, Galaxy High, Kidd Video, and Blackstar_** definitely should have been part of that top 50 list!*
Good picks, I would add Starcom, Captain Future and Saber Rider
Gummi Bears, The Care Bears, The Racoons , Raggy Dolls, Beverly Hills Teens, Jem and Lovely Lady Locks
Paw paw bears too 😊
I can't tell you how Glad I am To be an 80s Kid. I'm 47 now and I'm more than thrilled I had the chance to have as a child The BEST CARTOONS EVER!! And the Toys To go along with them. And im surprised you missed a few Cartoons. JEM, CARE BEARS, RAINBOW BRIGHT, POPPLES. GUMMIS BEARS, MUPPET BABIES.
Challenge Of The Gobots, which I also liked, actually came before Transformers, but Transformers was way more popular!!
Such a great nostalgia trip that takes me back to simpler days and times.
It is unfortunate that kids today were robbed of the opportunity of Saturday morning cartoons.
I am grateful because these cartoons just allowed me to be a kid enjoy kid type things.
This was such a great era of cartoons and I remember the majority of most of these. I have a fondness for cartoons still today.
Not just Saturday. The weekday cartoons after school too.
it's a complete different world now and society has also changed a lot
@@ConsiderTheCrows yup I remember those, coming after school and watching the 6pm cartoons, but those lasted for 1 hour only. The saturday morning cartoons started at 7am until noon, what a marathon LOL
You do know the kids programming went on all day for the under 5 kids. The kid channels still played kid shows all day, they just transistioned to mixed kid/teen shows after school before going to mostly teen shows around dinner time.@@AiVaultGuy
I was born in 94 but I'm so glad I was able to actually watch most of these shows and enjoy them and even sprint back home as soon as school gets over just to watch them 😍. But now you don't get to see anything like them ❤ people born in the 70's 80's and 90's have had the best childhood ❤🔥
Thundercats had the most amazing soundtrack. More than once I'd shut my eyes and just listen to the background music. Amazing stuff
My favorite 80's cartoons are:
1. Thundercats.
2. Inspector Gadget.
3. Spiderman & His Amazing Friends.
4. The Incredible Hulk.
5. TMNT.
I created Saturday for my niece and nephew. I have every 80's cartoon that was broadcast. They love getting up and watching them with me.
Cool list now name me ur top 5 of all time cartoons?
I was up at 6 am on Saturday waiting for cartoons to come on, on a school day, my mother had to drag me out of the bed 😅😅😅
Me too.😅😂😅
Its same still with me. I never sleep long on weekends...my brain wants fun and ion weekdays im only tired, so i need tons of activities and joy time ^^. Im a nightowl AND an earlybird xD
Most of these shows wasn’t Saturday AM ! I remember watching some before & after school but I’m from a small town! Some I never seen
Great list, I would just add a few titles that are not on it: Robotech, Challenge of the Gobots (there were 66 episodes of the show, one movie, that was actually 5 episodes of the show edited into a movie, and Battle of the Rock Lords, which was an animated movie), the other Ghostbusters animated show, where the crew had a giant gorilla in the crew. A weird show, and an acquired taste for some, understandably, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Starcom (which is a G.I. Joe-type show, which lasted for only 13 episodes, but a solid show with more than solid animation and voice-work). Just a few others I remember quite fondly and recommend to fans of the 1980s and early 90s adventure-sci fi animated shows.
Great list, and yes Saturday Morning Cartoons were the best; as well as the late afternoon ones during the week. In my personal opinion there were other gems such as Tranzor-Z, Rubix Cube, Richie Rich, Looney Tunes, The Puppies Further Adventure, Spectre Man, Pink Panther, The Herculoids, Super Friends, Shirt-Tales, Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show, Woody Woodpecker, Tom & Jerry, Flintstones, Casper, Jem, Mister T, Pole Position, Wacky Races, Captain Caveman and Son, Speed Racer, Spider-Man, Duck Tales, and many, many, more. Although all of these weren't made in the 80's, they all ran in the 80's, and made for hours of enjoyable, as well as memorable television viewing for young and old alike.
So many were missed..........

Over 30 that i could have found a place for easy.......
Yea they focused on the 80s cartoons but your list has some gems
Aaaahhhhhhhh 80's anime. G.I.JOE, HE-MAN, Thundercats, Bionic-6, Turbo teen, Mr.T, Transformers (G1 only), MASK, centurions, SilverHawks, inhumanoinds, all Marvel and DC anime's all changes my life. This greatness kids of today will never know. The best of the best times 👍🪙👍
You got that right. I feel sorry for kids today, they will never know this incredible decade.
@@shootingreal5945 agreed mate 👍
Couldn't agree more.
@@williamsummerson1204 👍🪙👍
Completely agree. Grew up with all this. Was a great era
I was born mid-1979 and grew up in the 80’s. Such a vast majority of these I watched and loved. A few more that I loved and was waiting to be mentioned were Pole Position and Cops. Which I’m pretty sure we’re 80’s. Even if they didn’t have amazing stories at times, at the very least they had epic intros and theme music. But I agree with some of the other comments. Saturday morning cartoons? Oh, man. Nothing better. And kids who grew up even in the mid to late 90’s May never quite appreciate the feeling. There was absolutely nothing better. I used to wake up to start watching Saturday morning cartoons at literally 6am, and watch until about 1pm. Many times I’d either have fun things like breakfast cereal or things like Pop Tarts, or my mom would make pancakes, waffles, or French toast for me on those days. It was just bliss.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I still watch many of these on my tablet as I'm falling to sleep at night! Two of my absolute favorites that are missing from this list: Robotech and Adventures of the Gummi Bears.
During my formative years, I developed a profound appreciation for the animated series known as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. This particular cartoon undoubtedly holds a special place in my heart, as it captivated my imagination and left an indelible mark on my childhood memories.
I know exactly what you mean I'm 45 and recently started (re) collecting all the he man action figures and purchased the DVD set
The movie Masters of the Universe is good.
I thought 💭 I was the only one ( not really lol 😝 ) . I washed a number of cartoons back in the 80s, but there was a few on my top list and he-man and the masters of the universe was in my top three.
I cannot not comment on this. You managed to walk me through my childhood! The 80s cartoons where the best, building our imagination and made us dream! Which I have to say, nowadays our kids cannot think about! Brilliant video! Thank you
I remember watching almost all of these at one point or another growing up. So many memories here. Personally I would have added Gummi Bears, Captain N The Game Master, Care Bears, Muppet Babies, Pound Puppies, Flintstone Kids, Pac-Man, and The Biskitts. Saturday mornings, and TV after school will never be the same again.
Yeah i agree so much more Cabbage Patch, Rainbow Brite,Snorks, Racoons,Jem,Gloworms or friends,Gummi Bears rule like the other Bears in Care Bears what u said Pound Puppies and Police Academy cartoon is cool so much it's too tough that's the 80s words to describe
Shirt tales. Mork and Mindy/ Laverne and Shirley/ Fonz hour. CBS Saturday Supercade (is this what you meant by Pac Man?) Blackstar. Mighty Gobots. Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea. Kenshiro.
@@paultreadaway102 Jem = Jem and the Holograms? It's been a long time.
@@eattheinvaders.3037 yes brilliant it's all in the Music Jem and the Holograms versus the Misfits good v evil
Adding some more that I can think of... Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, A Pup named Scooby Doo, The New Archies, Kidd Video, Dennis the Menace, Punky Brewster, Garfield and Friends, Heathcliff and the Catillac Cats, Smurfs, The Super Mario Bros Super Show / Zelda, Denver the Last Dinosaur, Dinosaucers, Ducktales, The Real Ghostbusters, Transformers/Gobots, Silverhawks and Thundercats. CBS Storybreak, Inspector Gadget, Tailspin, Chip and Dale Rescue Ranger, Duck Tales, and Shirt Tales. I can't think of anymore but there are plenty more to be mentioned. (Some of these were in the video I found out after the fact)
I was born 81 watching this Video had bring the Memory of the 80s back. I miss the 80s at so much times
80's n 90's were the best era of cartoons ♥️♥️ i m glad i grew up watching both 80's & 90's cartoons
Born in 83, grew up between UK and Brasil so loved weekend mornings with all my fav cartoons!
I was born in 1980, I was weened on these cartoons. Waking up Saturday mornings for the my weekly dose. Its true they don't make em like this any more, Mask, brave star, transformers, jayce and the wheeled warriors pure class. Gummie bears 'bouncing here and there and every where' was another guilty pleasure. My kids ask me about what I used to watch when I was a kid, I show them these and they are blown away. The trip down memory lane, Bravo.
I had to watch this. Brings back great memories and nostalgia. Loved these cartoons when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!
What an amazing time that was. I watched almost all the shows on this list. My only gripe was they left out “Gobots”. That was my favourite show!!!!!
The true Golden Era of Cartoons! Here a few you miss! 1.C.O.P.S.,2.The Care Bears,3.The Go-Bots, and My all time favorite 4.Tranzor Z the adaptation of Japan's Mazinger Z! Which Japanese anime makers remade in 2017, that was very good!
Also missed Jem, Snorks, Adventures of the Gummi Bears, Spiral Zone, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs... just so many great 80s cartoons
But what about The Garbage Pail Kids!
And Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines
And several others missed like Blaskstar, the one shot X-Men episode, Sky Commanders, The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show, Galaxy HIgh, Galtar and the Golden Lance, Pole Position, Robotech, Space Stars, Starcom: The US Space Force, Ulysses 31 Among others. Maybe try for 75. ^_^
Don't forget Jem and the Holograms
The New adventures of Winnie the Pooh might be the best but also most underrated show on this list. That show just made me feel so good. I love the theme song it was one of my favorite shows and I look forward to it so much. I was 7 years old in 1988 and I would still watch this show and I was in my teens
Coming across this on UA-cam just took me back to the greatest era, the 80's.
"The Transformers" is one of only a few animated shows that had a full-length animated film released in major theaters back in 1986. A cultural hit up until this very day!!!
My mother's boyfriend at the time took me too see it...I was 9 years old...he was a kool dude..I always remembered his name was Rodney..
First movie I saw in theatres. I was 8. Influenced my life greatly. The way they killed off optimus prime just to sell more toys.I'm 45 ffs it still sticks with me
@@stevebaugh150 Same here, I was traumatised! They killed off most of the original characters within the first 5 minutes. WTF! Cool soundtrack though.
Transformers the movie by today’s standards, probably had the potential to make over $100 million at the box office. I’m not sure why they didn’t do the same thing with G.I. Joe, the movie. (the animated one of course.)
Great list! SilverHawks were my jam! I remember when I was 4 years old, I was watching it and my parents told me to put my shoes on because we were getting ready to leave, I wanted to wait for a commercial break. Because back then we couldn't go back and watch the episode at our own convenience. We had to wait for it to re-air and hopefully we were watching it when it did. So I waited, that didn't work out for my parents, so I got a spanking and had to sit in the hallway and listen to the rest of the episode. As a man, I rewatched the entire series to try to figure out which episode it was, it been 30 plus years I didn't remember which one it was on that particular day. Lol
Where'd you find the silverhawks series at? I've been trying to find it forever.
Love Silverhawks!
Silverhawks had the best intros of all time. I loved the show too. But it started getting weird and slow toward the end.
Silverhawks was awesome, great villain and good toys
I had to wait 30 years to watch the entire He-man Christmas Special on UA-cam.
Holy crap! I can't believe my mother let me watch so much damn TV. Hoping there's a part 2. I'm now a fan 👍🏽
Thanks for the instant time travel to the 80's.😄
The 1980s. Best music, best cartoons, best comics, best movies best decade.
The 80s was indeed the best time for music, cartoons, and movies, the 90s wasn't bad but by far the 80s was the best. I miss the 80s, it was just a better time period definitely better than now. The 2000s especially now definitely the worst of times.
The 80s was a great time to be a child. I grew up watching a lot of cartoons on this list. Some I liked more than others. The 1980s had it all; cartoons, tv shows, movies and music. ❤
Hands down 💯
@@fayewitt9881 the 90s were awesome too
Here here couldn't agree more 👍
April O'Neill still does it for me. 😂
Penelope Pitstop
WACKY RACES!!!❤❤❤
I was a born in the 80's so I can't remember them all, but the majority I can. Thundercats was by far my favourite. Had the Lion-O sword but my favourite was Panthro. TMN Turtles was massive in the 80's/90's - the amount of Turtles merch you could get was unreal.
Thunder Thunder cats Hoe!
I always struggled to wake up early for school during the week but come Saturday mornings, i was ready and wide awake to start watching my favorite cartoons.
got the full hulk series box set, used to have the spider man series too. this video brought back some bitter sweet memories. remember coming come after school being so troubled as a child so i used to get lost in these cartoon's like he man, she ra, thunder cats, danger mouse, dungeons and dragon's, inspector gadget. thanks for sharing these gems.
Man that’s cool as hell… I had the Hulk lunch box with its thermo cup the lunch box was all metal n juz the other day I saw it on eBay for a couple of hundred dollars
I'm 52 years old I remember all of these cartoons like it was yesterday. I couldn't wait for Saturday mornings or after school for that matter, would run straight home and park myself right in front of the TV.
The 80's had the best Christmas for the kids 🙂🌲🌲🌲
I think Ulysses 31 was missed from this list, what an age to grow up in with all those decent cartoons 👌🏻 nice video.
I remember all these cartoons. Luckily I get to keep some of my childhood. I have all the complete series of Thundercat's, He-man, She-ra, GI-Joe, Muppet Babies, Rambo, Looney Toons, Transformers, Heathcliff. Took some time to get them, but I got them and I can watch them anytime I want to, as many times as I want to. That feel so good.
Indeed. I had to get Jonny Quest, Dungeons &Dragons and He-Man.
My local hmv had a shutdown sale and I managed to get S1 and 2 of thundercats, complete collection of mask, Voltron, gargoyles and Jayce and the wheeled warriors for 8 quid all in! Twas a good day 😂😂
Rainbow bright, Jem & the hologram, ALF, Robocop, Robotech, Tiger Sharks, Buggs Bunny & Tweety show, Woody woodpecker, Gummy Bears, Muppet Babies, 13 ghosts of Scooby-Doo, Teenwolf, Back To The Future, Chuck Norris, The Gobots, It's Punky Brewster, Kid N Play, Hulk Hogan's Rockin Wrestling, Karate Kid, Popeye, Tom & Jerry, Galaxie High, Pound Puppies, The Super Friends
My Nan used to buy me the Transformers comic every Saturday from the newsagents and the cartoon was on Saturday mornings as well, loved it. Battle of the Planets and the Cities of Gold were absolutely awesome. Simple good times that live on in my heart ❤
You forgot Astroboy! It was one of my favorites growing up!
Best list of the best 80s cartoons on UA-cam. Period. And I love how they're not ranked by number. They're just on the list. Most of these I actually watched and loved.
So many were missed..........

@@shazaamfuk1123 Alot of those are 60s and 70s, though they definitely re-ran them in the 80s. They do have a top 50 70s cartoon list. You should check it out.
@@davonhall9652 will do mate for sure👍 ye i knew I'd have some of the dates off, bad memory for what was re run and what was original it was so bloody long ago🤣👩🦼
@@shazaamfuk1123 But it was awesome. You're actually 3 years older than me. I was born in 76. Man, I'm glad we had this stuff.
@Davon Hall definitely mate. Half on the original video were great but half I had never even heard of... probly just an Aussie thing.😁 have been trying to remember one favourite for about ten years and have had a complete blank for so long, thought it was called battle droids and finally someone in the comments I saw The Herculoids and my brain was free.....ahhhhh 🤣
It was a great time to be a kid! I watched cartoons every Saturday and knew every channel my favorite shows were on.
84 kid. Damn I witnessed the best. Thundercats, Transformers, Turtles, GI Joe,Inspector Gadget, Ghostbusters, Mask, She Ra, Mario bros personal favs. Tough I’ve almost seen them all. What a joy ride it was. Good times.
Centurions - fantastic. I was born in 1975, and every single day of the 80's was taken for granted. How we all miss those days now. We need to bring these times back. God I miss those days. If anyone has a time machine, I will sell my soul to return.
GI Joe; when the F-14 Tomcat was state-of-the-art.
You covered Thundar. I love you. I'd completely forgotten about The Bionic Six. But my favorites were always the Japanese shows. Voltron, Tranzor-Z, and G-Force / Battle of the Planets.
What about Jem? One of the best theme songs ever and beloved by many a Gen X girl.
And Gummi Bears! That was fantastic! Can’t believe you missed those 2!
Yes!!!
I guess they can't squeeze in everything, no matter how hard they try, but I too enjoyed Gummi Bears.
Wow, no jem?! Blasphemy and gummy bears smh
Jem was truly outrageous
Gummi Bears was my sh*t...Dukie...😂
Urodziłem się w 1983 roku i powiem Wam ....lata 80
To były najlepszelata mojego życia płatki i kreskówki, filmy,zabawki,muzyka,sposób myślenia absolutnie żadnaina inna dekada nie jest taka jak ta
Nothing beats Saturday morning cartoons in 1982-87... 80s best era to grow up in
OMG I do miss the 80's
Me too.
Lucky me to be alive as a kid in the 80’s watching some of the best cartoons ever made every Saturday mornings.
I was born 1981 so I grew up with these series in books, comic and on TV. Many mentioned here were ones I know and several I'd never heard of! Perhaps that's because I live in the UK. Many new series to explore and add to my collection, still popular with those who remember today as then if not even more so.
This is a buffet of nostalgia. Only a few names here that I don't remember. Chase and the Wheeled Warriors, so many 80's kids I've talked to say they've never heard of it. Makes me think it didnt get a wide syndication, but that show was amazing.
'ANOTHER MARVELOUS VIDEO' ..
Damn I miss the 80s they had the best of everything damn I miss this decade 😆
I miss the 80s too. If only there was a way to go back in time and return to that good era.

I love The Silverhawks. I was so excited when it was rereleased on dvd. Its sad it was only one season. Thundercats was amazing as well.
Born in 1984.... best cartoons in THE WORLD!!! 80s and 90s were insane! Very intelligent thoughtfull inspiring stories about bravery and space and technology... even the soundtracks were METAL and Rock music!! Now everything feels dumbed down...
Thank you for this wonderful trip down memory lane I grew up in the 80s and I remember these shows and the rush of nostalgia that I felt while watching this video was truly heartwarming
I LOOOOVED getting up on Saturday morning and watching cartoons! Superfriends, Looney tunes, The Smurfs, The Littles, ALL of the ABC shorts like “Yuck-mouth,” “Watch out for the Munchies,” “Quick-fast breakfast,” etc. , and the School-house Rock cartoons. Aaah! The memories!
If I still had all my old cartoon toys and action figures that I had as a 80s kid, I’d be a rich man today. I was born in 76, and I lived thru the best of the last and the best there would ever be
This is an awesome trip down Nostalgia lane! I have not thought about many of these shows in probably 30+ years, however it's amazing how the theme tunes came back instantly on many of these! It just goes to show the details that made these shows epic!
This brings back memories.
Present day youths ask me how it was growing in 80/90s.
They often say the youths of those years had best times ever.
Please share your experiences with them. They'll like it
Also. Best intros ever
When I was a kid in the 80s I really liked Thundercats, it was truly awesome.
Yeah, it was something that just can't really be described anymore. Everything now is scheduled playdates with one particular friend, or a party with multiple, usually with exact times and pre-planned activities. At least for suburban life, in the 80's/90's, it was simply, "Mom, I heading outside", usually with a yell "Be back for supper" or something similar, and you went out the door and headed to where your best friend was or when to a nearby park/playground. If you had a bike, you could easily be anywhere within a mile or three from home, without any contact with your parents and they didn't really know where you were other than outside, unless you were getting yelled at by some other parent who knew you and called your parents up... You had the freedom to just show up at someone's house and ask if your friend was able to play, and most times that meant they simply then joined you and you went and grabbed others and soon you had a gang of 4-10 and would do all kinds of stuff. Play kickball, soccer, basketball, baseball, street hockey, go biking, skateboarding, build your own bike tracks in backlots and woodded areas without homes, paintball, laser tag... If you were lucky to be close enough to a mall or skate park or arcade, well, that became a hangout, sometimes it would be to the friend that had a pool, or the one who had a partial finished basement with video game consoles and a TV. It was dynamic, flowing fun, with the group heading to different places, going to pickup others, some splitting off as they had to go home, some staying at park to play basketball, or leaving to go play video games. Almost everything chosen by us kids at that time, with the rare exception of being ordered out by a parent if we were causing too much noise or getting out of control.
As for Saturday mornings, most would being hanging out at their own home, but one or two would trickle out to a nearby friend's home and watch stuff together as a small group. We always had a place for that friend or two who's parents were not really getting along and they would get out of the house so they didn't have to hear the fighting going on because both parents were at home together. To this day I believe that is much better option than what current kids have to deal with in those situations, and I think it saved lots of trauma from being inflicted on someone who wasn't ever at fault of that situation from having to be stuck in it. Spending the whole day out with your friends was a much better option that stuck at home...
Also you forgot a couple in that list that I don't even see mentioned in comments, like Gummi Bears, Captain N: The Game Master, Camp Candy, or The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians?
@@fallenkell I see that it brought back fine memories in you👍
Some youths actually told me they would love to be raised in the 80/90's over 2010's and so on. That makes it even better.
There will always be some intros missed. I think Exosquad and Wing Raiders weren't mentionned as well? But those were 90's then I think
To bad y'all didn't have fairly odd parents Jimmy neutron samurai jack regular show avatar the last Airbender fosters for imaginary friends Rick and Morty ect.
@@jtmassecure4488 what's too bad about that? Could have watched them at cartoon network or nickelodeon.
Growing up in the 80's, I remember watching all of these. Good times.
Indeed.
80’s for cartoons were the best hands down and I feel blessed to have been a part of that era! Excellent list and commentary! From my memory, some classics missed off your list were…Ulysses 31, Muppet Babies, Dogtanian and the Three Muskerhounds, Galaxy High, Bananaman, GoBots, Gummi Bears, The Racoons and SuperTed. Maybe because I grew up in the UK these were missing but trust me they were also kids favourites!

Oh man. Forgot all about SuperTed!
There will never be anything like he man ever again, I didn’t grow up in the 80s but I did grow up with 80s cartoons and he man was by far the best
Great job on this list! It's nice to see some lesser known gems like Mighty Orbots, Galaxy Rangers and the Mysterious Cities of Gold here. Also, here are a couple you might consider for future videos... Saber Rider & the Star Sheriffs - WEP's follow-up to Voltron appeared around the same time as Galaxy Rangers and Bravestar and covered similar terrain, though it was probably the strongest of the three. Robotech - Building on the likes of Star Blazers (also not on this list) and Battle of the Planets, Robotech really brought mainstream awareness to anime in the U.S. The show is serialized, multi-generational, features characters with a lot of depth, and brought us some of the most memorable animated episodes of the 80's. :)
Oh man, I loved the Mighty Orbots!!! Top-notch animation.
did you know that Robotech is actually based on 3 unrelated series, that were rewritten/connected by the Harmony Gold editing and writing staff so it could be aired on network tv (in those days you had to 'buy' at least 50 spots to get a series launched)..
@@snakefriesia6808 Indeed, I have watched all of the original Japanese anime versions. I thought HG did a pretty good job considering how quickly it was all put together. The minimum requirement was, I believe, 65 episodes for daily syndication, or 13 weeks of programming. The same thing was done with Voltron, which had 52 episodes of Beast King GoLion and 52 episodes of Armored Fleet Dairugger XV.
I love your additions to the list. Robotech was awesome. Might I add Robotix and Visionaries.
@@adambowman5964 Loved Visionaries. The toys were awesome.
Thinder Cats, Gijoe, Silver hawks, Mask, centurions, Robothech, Centurions, Cops my favs
Top 50!? I couldn’t even name 50 and I watch a lot of cartoons in the 80’s.
Great list! Was hoping to see Go-bots and Camp Candy though haha
NOTHING LIKE THE 1980S WE HAD THE BEST OF EVERYTHING CARTOONS
T.V. SHOWS, MOVIES MUSIC,TOYS, I FOR ONE
LOVE THE 1980s SO MUCH
FUN & SPECIAL THAT CAN'T BE
RECREATED BETTER THAN
WHAT'S OUT THERE NOW
THE 1980s NEVER GETS
OLD. The 1980s FOREVER THANK YOU LATER.
Being born in 1978, I was a prime target to have watched every one of these.
Same here, 78 kid.
Snap 👏🏻
I miss these cartoons, the 80s were the best
The writers of Dungeons and Dragons finally wrote a final episode that was a radio production with the woman who voiced the sister of the barbarian reprising her role. Someone on UA-cam took the time to animate an episode in the style of the cartoon. It's titled "Requiem". The kids do in fact go home except Presto who stays behind to apprentice to be a wizard. Venger is revealed to be Dungeon Master's son and released of his curse of being evil and Eric actually is the hero of the episode. It was done well and gave a fitting and satisfying ending for fans of the show.
this bothered you too I see.
Saturday mornings in the 80's were like religion for those of us who were kids at that time. Add in a bowl of cereal, and the morning was complete.
This is awesome, I love the positivity and depth of analysis as well as the honesty.
I wish more people could be like you. This is the first time I have seen one of your videos, needless to say, I am a fan.
I was born in 1980, and I remember watching 98% of these cartoons. Here are a few more from the time.
Kidd Video, Hulk Hogan's Rock'n' Wrestling, Star Wars: Ewoks, Popples, COPS, It's Punky Brewster, ThunderCats,
Missed a couple good ones as well Fantastic Max and Jim Hensons Muppet Babies! Everything down the line in the video was on target with what made my childhood and the 80s so incredible! You hit some great obscure cartoons along the way that I wish were released on dvd. Thank you for an excellent video!
True, Muppet Babies should have been there, and I was shocked they skipped Super-Powers Team since it was the 80s version of Superfriends with a major toyline during the 80's
Watching this video makes me feel like a six-year-old again and I love it! Thanks so much, Marvelous Videos! 👧🏾🥣📺👏🏾🥰🤩
