There were just too many favourites. I grew up during the golden age of Saturday Morning TV cartoons (1970’s-1980’s). We had Scooby Doo, Smurfs, He-Man, She-Ra, Real Ghostbusters, OG Transformers, Gummy Bears, Ducktales, Flintstones (yes, the Flintstones were 1960’s, but they were on in syndication through the 80’s, Bugs Bunny/Tweety show (same idea as Flintstones - older cartoons syndicated in the 80’s), and many, many more. Basically, if it was a thing in the 1980’s it was also a cartoon, breakfast cereal, canned noodle, and video game. Back then we had no dedicated cartoon channels. We watched our cartoons on Saturday Mornings or, later on, at breakfast before school and the Disney Afternoon after school.
My least favourites would be the ones that were obviously pandering, cartoons that didn’t even try to hide the fact that they were just marketing vehicles: Rambo and the Force of Freedom (a kid’s cartoon based on a violent R-rated movie), Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines (because monster trucks are… um… heroic?), and probably the worst of all, Rubik the Amazing Cube (a whole cartoon about a magic talking Rubik’s Cube!)
I mean, just look at this:
I cringe just remembering it.
