    Best TV cartoons, by decade

    So;

    We did the worst; so howzabout what you guys consider the best/ your favourite tv cartoons from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's? (And 50's for the real old/hardcore fans out there.)

    *SPOILER: I see superheroes in the near future*

    To get the ball rolling, mine follow. I was GONNA suggest a top 10; but there are a couple decades I'd have trouble finding ten really good ones.

    60's: A little before my time, but there’s:
    1) Scooby-Doo, Where are You?

    70's:
    1) Battle of the Planets
    2) Godzilla
    3) Wacky Races
    4) Star Trek

    80's:
    1) Thundarr the Barbarian
    2) Mighty Orbots
    3) Robotech
    4) Galaxy Rangers
    5) Ulysses 31
    6) Galaxy High

    90's:
    1) SWAT-Kats
    2) CyberSix
    3) Animaniacs (especially any episode with Slappy Squirrel.)

        I forgot about King of The Hill, that was a great cartoon! Mike Judge has a great sense of humour.

                    Hey! Those were the best cartoons ever! Masters of the Universe, She-Ra, ThunderCats, Jem, Silverhawks, M.A.S.K, Bravestarr. etc. Those are my all time favorite cartoons.
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
