I was browsing Youtube today for something of which I can’t remember, but what I stumbled on was some 80’s cartoon theme songs.

This took me back to my youth and got me thinking of the TV cartoons I grew up with in the 80’s. Here are some I came up with, in no particular order...

Astroboy
Mask
Star Blazers
He-Man
Danger-Mouse
Count Duckula
Pole Position
Mysterious Cities of Gold
Inspector Gadget
ThunderCats
SilverHawks
Ulysses 31
Transformers
Battle for the Planets - G-Force
Scooby-Doo
Galaxy Rangers
Jetsons
Mighty-Mouse
Voltron
The Wonderful world of Hannah Barberra
The Smurfs
Whinnie the Pooh

There are others but while I can see the characters in my mind, I can’t recall the name of the cartoons. I think the cartoons of today are lacking something by comparison.

As an aside, the comics I was reading included:
Judge Dredd
Asterix
Tin Tin
Superman
Spiderman

I had consumed the entire Famous Five and Secret Seven by 1984.

I miss those days, life was simpler.
