There was a cartoon I'm trying to remember the name of with a team that would go into infected zones (I think they were cloud covered cities) and everyone would essentially turn into zombies. The team more special outfits that kept them from being infected, but they would get knocked off like every damn episode.
Anyone remember it?

In the 80's, Belle and Sebastian was my fav. I wish they would release that on dvd. Two others I enjoyed but not sure when they came out were Jabber Jaw, the shark that talked like curly from the three stooges, and the other one I don't remember the name of, but I think it had a character named Mayor Lumpkin.

I remember watching Bigfoot after school (about the truck not sasquatch) and Teddy Ruxpin when I got up (it was that or the Ag.report). I also remember Mr T. had a cartoon.
Does anyone know the name of the cartoon that seemed like a combination of Jem and Richie Rich...all I can think of is Goldie Gold or something like that...my sister had to watch it all the time.

My earliest memory at three years old involves a cartoon called Dinky Dog, about the world's largest dog c.1978. I remember it because I named my puppy Dinky after the show. Someone fed him a piece of chicken with a bone in it and he choked to death on the kitchen floor in front of me.

Someone earlier was describing the Snorks (the underwater Smurfs rip-off).
I was a fan of Dungeons and Dragons, The Comic Strip (Karate Kat, Camp Mini-Mon, The Leap Frogs, and TigerSharks), and my personal fav...

ALF (the animated series)!

Did anyone else watch the Once Upon a Time... cartoons? My favourite was the "Life" series, although "Man" and "The Americas" were excellent, too.

The Rubik Cube cartoon may have been bad, but not nearly so awful, IMHO, as the Monchhichis. I don't think there was ever a cartoon that actually pissed me off like that one did.

What was the cartoon where the guy and girl each had a car that could fly, and they had removable console faces that talked to them?

I remember liking mighty max as well. That might have been the 90's though. There was also a toy tie in.

Mighty Max was great, but you're right in thinking it was 90's.

I loved that cartoon. I can still remember snippets of the theme song.
