Thinking of my Childhood

So I sit tonight and think... what was my life like, being a child of the 80s... I didn't get very far because my mind drifted to the shows I used to watch... I made a list... Anyone else recall these great cartoons?

Edit - Teddy Ruxpin - how could I forget gimmic and grubby
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Gummie Bears
Care Bears
Rainbow Bright
Smurfs
Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers
Whinnie the Pooh
Fraggle Rock
Transformers
Strawberry Shortcake
Inspector Gadget
Pound Puppies
C.O.P.S.
Babar
Wuzzles
Duck Tales
Garfield and friends
Jem
G.I. Joe (and knowing is half the battle)
The Raccons
The Young Hercules (you had to be up at 6:00 am to catch this gem)
Ghostbusters
Voltron
He-Man
The Ewoks
Jetsons
Snoks
Thundercats
My Little Pony Tales, and My Little Pony and Friends
Bionic Six
TMNT (do I need to explain? Really though?)
Curious George
RoboCop
She-ra Princess of Power
Simpsons
The Tick
Muppet babies (and the original, The Muppets)

** how could I forget ASTRO BOY ** yeesh

Can anyone else think of any other great 80s Early 90s cartoons I might have missed?

There were movies... but that is another list for another day... (the last unicorn.. and to quote Grace "put a shirt on ya tree")

    Holy crap... you and Tracy watched that stupid show all the time! It aired from 1992-95 and I hated it. Such a girl show.
