There isn't much you can say about a dinosaur that plays 80's poodle rock is there?
Wasn't there a cartoon called Captain N: The Game Master or something like that?

How about Visionaries, Gummi Bears (LOVED that one), or Monchi-chis?
I think there was another one called "Kid Video" that I used to watch - it was a mix of live action and a cartoon, and would always end with a "music video".

The Wuzzles. That one was actually laugh-out-loud funny.

Or Anya's take of the show on Buffy the Vampire Slayer - "or that mean rabbit that's always picking on that nice man with the speech impediment."

Why did that dude on M.A.S.K. sound like a third-rate Nicholson impersonator?
And that robot T-Bob? Why did they program him with a stutter?
And was "Matt Tracker" the dude's real name?

But anyway, it focused on a group of human-like warriors who were part insect (They had antennas on their forehead along with insect eyes) That ring a bell to anyone?

I'd love to see "Rubik the Amazing Cube" again. Remember that crazy sound he made when he got wet?

The Drac Pack was ridiculously dumb, too, but I loved that show.

Strawberry Shortcake. I think it only had about six episodes, but I remember liking that one. I also enjoyed Mr. T's cartoon.

Rubik's cube was one of the worst cartoons EVER (of course, I watched it while waiting for the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon to start...)
And OMG, I found my 4 year old watching the Littles on TV last week...

Wasn't there a cartoon called the Bluffers or something, featuring bears (?) who lived in Bluffonia (?) - something like that.
The Racoons was great, the music was awesome

Loved the video game shows, and am surprised that no one mentioned Saturday Supercade. I knew Q*Bert, Pitfall, and Donkey Kong were represented, but I had to check Wikipedia to jog my memory on the rest of them (Donkey Kong Jr., Frogger, Kangaroo, and Space Ace). I was also a fan of Kidd Video.

Spiral Zone's another one that hasn't been mentioned yet. Not sure when it was shown here but back in the Philippines it was around the same time as Thundercats, Silverhawks and M.A.S.K.

I used to watch a cartoon with a guy that rode some blue flying dragon thing and had an enemy that used a gigantic tuning fork as a weapon. Anyone know the name?

Already mentioned, but:
Well, he had that adopted son named Scott Trakker and the dead teenage brother named Andy Trakker so I'd guess so. Personally I want to know if Miles Mayhem is that guy's real name.
