I watched cartoons constantly as a kid, here are the ones I can think of off the top of my head:
The Smurfs, Alvin & the Chipmunks, He-Man, She-Ra, The Transformers, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rainbow Brite, Slimer! And the Real Ghostbusters, Scooby Doo, Thundercats, and the most holy of animated television shows...The Simpsons. (When I was seven or eight I had a huge collection of Simpsons toys that, sadly, was wiped out when our basement flooded many years ago.)
And to think, if not for my dad's love of animation, I would have seen only a couple of those.

Superfriends!
Hong Kong Phooey!
Scooby Doo!
It wasn't animated, but I loved the Krofft shows Dr. Shrinker, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, and Wonderbug (I think that's what it was called).

All-time favorites were Voltron, Transformers, G.I.Joe. Also does anyone else remember, I think it was called the USA cartoon express w/ Space Ghost & maybe the Fantstic Four, Jabber Jaws & all these really weird retro cartoons, I think there was one called hairbair or something, I can't remember but I loved all of them.

My list:
Transformers
GI Joe
He-Man
Thundercats
Mask
One more but I can't remember the name of it. It had 3 main characters in it. A guy kind of like He-Man with a sword that was made of energy. A woman with some kind of power. And a big Chewbacca type guy. Does anyone remember what the name of this cartoon was? I think I remember watching it in the early/middle 80's.

-Tom & Jerry (the original MGM ones, not the ones H-B did years later, and particularly the really awful ones done by Filmation)
-The Magilla Gorilla Show, which included the Sheriff Bing-Bing-Bing! Rabbit stuff, and the three musketeer dogs (Yippee, Yappee, and Yahooey)
-Huckleberry Hound
-Marvel Superheroes (I forgot what it was called, but it had guys like The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor--all done in really, really crude animation).
-Woody Woodpecker
-Looney Tunes
It's too bad a lot of these cartoons are butchered and censored today because of its so-called violence and that they aren't "PC."

Robotech
Astroboy
And of course, the one i'm surprised no one listed, the classicest of all classics to have ever been on tv,
Les mystérieuses cités d'or!! (Lost Cities of Gold)
I'm 21 and I still watch it when it's on tv, it has imo the best story every written.
