late 70s to early 90s saturday morning cartoons

My best memories are of G.I. Joe, Dungeons & Dragons, Spiral Zone, Ninja Turtles, Tarzan, Transformers, Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, Looney Toones Gang, PeeWee's Playhouse, Voltron and Grandizer. But some of my fondest cartoon memories come from, believe it or not, college. I'd hang out in the Student Center at early o'clock every morning watching Hysteria, Men in Black, Jackie Chan Adventures, that Starship Troopers CG show, reruns of Captain Planet and Animainiacs, Pokemon and Yugioh with all the other nerds, waking up on McDonalds, Marlboros and Mountain Dew. Good times.

 

I was surprised to learn that the older students at my high school were watching Wild C.A.T.S. on CBS. I would've never thought when I was 14 that 17 & 18 year olds would be watching that. And these were the star football, basketball and track people. Shocked the hell out of me. I thought that because I was the that I would still be watching cartoons.

 

There it is!!!! Sith_rising said it!!!

Does anyone else remember Tarzan??? That was a great cartoon. As I recall it was really lifelike.....almost like those old Bakshi(sp) LOTR cartoons where they did the rotoscoping, or whatever it's called..where you paint over live action? Now that was good stuff.

Johnny Quest was great also.

 

Tarzan, the only one I ever saw was an older cartoon. Not the Disney one. It was part of a block which included Zorro and someone else.

 

Well, that may have been it. I'm dating myself here...but it was on saturdays, it wasn't disney, and it was part of a block..so that may be it. I really can't remember a lot of it; but I do know that I was impressed with the drawing; even at my young age.

 

GO-BOTS. GO-BOTS. MIGHTY VEHICLES. GO-BOTS.

These actually came out before The Transformers even though The Tranformers were more successful.

 

I forgot to add in Visionaries. What an intro! It has a short run, but a great premise and some really cool characters. Loved that theme song, too.

Here's a little taste:
