OK got to admit that Haji from the old johnny quest did kick some serious ass. I had a long childhood though so, I've enjoyed shows from the whole spectrum.
Old enough to have seen H R PufNStuff,
but enough of a kid to have watched the smurfs in my young adulthood. He he he.
What about the Thundercats and Top Cat?

If I'm allowed to continue my childhood into the '90s: Daria. I loved that show, too much.

Ack! I loved that show too! In fact, I won a Daria shirt in the MTV contests for the last eppy/movie. I wear that bad boy with pride...and get a few looks as I basically look a lot like a real-life version of her. I embrace my Daria-ness though.

There's still half a dozen eps I haven't seen yet, including that last one. It used to be more, but, thank you internet. I always liked the Sick, Sad World puns ("a liver runs through it!") and, being a Brit, I thought "Depth Takes a Holiday" (with the escapees from Holiday Island) was damn funny.

Wow. I'm not even gonna try to keep track of what's been said. Thing is though, I still watch cartoons and always have, so I'm not sure where the breakoff point is. I'll try to list them in order of when I watched them. I'm also omitting the late-night "adult" animé (what little of it ever appears in Canada), and sticking to the inarguably kid shows.

Growing up in the 80s was awesome.

Cartoons as a kid:
Snorks
Popples
He-Man
She-Ra
(yeah, shutup)
Ninja Turtles
G.I. Joe
Transformers
Thundercats
Silverhawks


(into the 90s)
Gargoyles
Daria
Reboot
War Planets
(known in Canada as Shadow Raiders)
Transformers: Beast Wars (known here as Beasties)
Transformers: Beast Machines
Godzilla
(the '98 Roland & Emmerich version)
Powerpuff Girls
Batman/Superman adventures
Batman Beyond
Digimon
S1, S2, S3 (S4 aired in this bizarre schedule where no one could watch it)

(Present)
Cardcaptors (Canadian dub of Cardcaptor Sakura)
Vision of Escaflowne (it aired Saturday afternoons, so I'm treating it as a kids show)
Justice League (Unlimited)
Samurai Jack
He-Man reboot
TMNT reboot
X-Men Evolution
Megaman NT Warrior
Transformers Armada
Transformers Energon
(These last two TF shows are bad. I mean horrible makes-you-want-to-puke bad. Don't watch them unless you're a die-hard Transfan. Go back to the Beast-era; they knew how to rock.)

Just in the past few weeks:
Megas XLR
Xiaolin Showdown
Code Lyoko
(this friggin' rocks!)

I've also watched Land of the Lost (both the old and the newer 90s series), Knight Rider, Major Dad, Perfect Strangers, and every Trek since Next Generation.

I never got to see Robotech on television (again, Canada), but I did come across the "Jack McKinney" novelizations at a young age and managed to collect the full series (took me until the late 90s to find End of the Circle; that thing was frellin' rare!) I even have the Sentinels books.

My favorite was Scooby Doo probably followed by The Pink Panther. I also really liked Road Runner, Looney Tunes, and The Jetsons. Heck, I was glued to the tube on Saturday morning from 5:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m!

Hm. I have a feeling I'm going to show my age, like a lot of you.

cartoons:
Transformers
GI Joe
Thundercats
Silverhawks
Spiderman
Tale Spin
Pokemon (don't ask why)

Right now I love everthing on Cartoon Network except for Scooby Doo. (never liked that show, and I don't know why.) Esspecially Teen Titans, Megas XLR, Clone Wars was awsome, but also Ed Edd and Eddie, Codename: Kids Next Door, and Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. That last one is probably one of the most original cartoons I have seen in a VERY long time. Craig McCracken is a genius. Fosters and Powerpuff Girls are probably some of the best cartoons of all time. Along with Dexter, Jack, Bugs, along with various others.
