First of all, this is awesome.
The parameters: The cartoon had to debut on US TV between 1980 and 1989 and have at least 10 episodes. Some are a generic name for a cartoon that had multiple incarnations during the 1980s, like the Superfriends. I'm sure you can figure it out.
Saturday morning cartoons and weekday before and after school cartoons. No Simpsons. You didn't get up at 6:30 a.m.on Saturday to watch The Simpsons.
24 groups of 4. Vote for your favorites. Depending on response rates, we'll go either 32 or 64 for the knockout round starting at some point, maybe tomorrow night.
I had such a blast putting this together. Please engage with your best time-wasting capabilities. Memories, YouTube, the whole thing.
I am not doing a 1990s version because I was 16 in 1990 and had completely dedicated my spare time for the next decade to failing to impress girls over and over again.
