Cool 80's Cartoons and Kids' Shows

Writing about web page http://www.80scartoons.net/

OK, how satisfying is it that The Transformers have become so retro-cool and that Jem & the Holograms: The Complete 1st & 2nd seasons are now on DVD? I happen to think it’s pretty cool since this these are two of the eighties cartoons I used to watch…

To mark the occasion, I thought I’d do a top-ten-all-time-best-80’s-cartoons(or puppet show for The Fraggles) -list. Let me know if you can think of better ones!

10. Inspector Gadget
9. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
8. Gummi Bears
7. Ewoks or The Racoons ( I can’t decide!)
6. Scooby Doo (80’s)
5. Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera
4. Spiderman and His Amazing Friends
3. Fraggle Rock
2. Transformers
1. The Smurfs

The Popples and Strawberry Shortcake didn’t make my list but they came close and I happend to have hated, My Little Pony, Care Bears and The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin.

Of course this whole top ten list depends on the age of the reader….sorry to all those (younger and older) who missed out on this great cartoon era.

Oooooooh, Here is a very cool Atari site advertising their Transformers PS2 game that was released last month (I think…) Among other cool things on the site is a neat area where you can discover your Transformer alter-ego…..
