I feel like there were a ton of 80s cartoon shows that had cooler toys then the shows were themselves.

COPS
Robocop
Silverhawks

Unfortunately, it hasn't aged well. Like most shows of the 80s and early 90s, it was plagued with bad animation and bad writing. With many of these shows available on streaming now, I've put them on for my son. I still enjoy Batman, TMNT and Garfield. Transformers was my favorite, but it's comically bad. He-Man is downright awful.

I remember almost crapping my pants when they ripped off the human face of one of the lizard people.

I remember wanting to watch Alien Nation too, but I didn't understand it.

Happy Days- Fonzie was the coolest guy on the planet
The Incredible Hulk- Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby
Those were my two favorites as a youngster.

Think the ones I watched the most were Spider-Man, Gargoyles, Darkwing Duck, Tailspin, Digimon, and DBZ.

Tried watching Gargoyles and X-men in Disney plus and it felt pretty terrible.

I did rewatch all of Spider-Man and DBZ in college (DC++ boredom lol) and felt like those were decent enough.

I really didn't have a TV until I was 11 in 1977.

Prior to that we lived so far out in the sticks we could not pick up much and it looked crappy. And then lived in Korea for 2 years and only had Armed Forces TV which ran some repeats but our TV was black and white.

I suddenly had to catch up on a whole lot of TV then and I made up for lost time.

Watched repeats constantly of
Andy Griffith
Dick van Dyke
Lucille Ball
Gilligans Island

and cartoons like Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny/Road Runner.

The first network shows I watched Live were
Happy Days
Threes Company
Battlestar Gallactica
Laverne and Shirley
MASH
Love Boat
Soap
Mork and Mindy
All in the Family
Welcome Back Kotter
Charlie's Angels
Taxi

Good Times
The Rifleman

The Late Late show with Jeff Kilbourn
Friends
Seinfeld

Batman The Animated Series is the greatest animated super hero cartoon ever made. Completely ahead of it times by 20 years. Even now the writing is excellent.

Don't forget the 1 season of Super Mario Super Show

Weekday afternoons in the early 90's, I was the first one to get dropped off by the bus. I spent so many afternoons watching:

DuckTales
TailSpin
Aladdin: The Animated Series
Tiny Toons
Ninja Turtles
Batman: The Animated Series


Saturday mornings were so much better in the 80's and early 90's:

Pretty much every Saturday show already listed, with the addition of Pirates of Dark Water. I LOVED that show.

EDIT: Also, Toy Galaxy on YouTube will pretty much confirm that every cartoon in those days that was part of the Saturday lineup HAD to have toys and a cereal/snack before getting approved for production.

Not all kids shows for sure, but these stand out in my mind when I was young:
Dukes of Hazzard = #1 of course.
The Fall Guy - Heather Thomas in a bikini. Yes.
Simon & Simon - Loved that Power Wagon
Buck Rodgers - That Vilma Dearing had my attention as a youth
Dallas/Dynasty - Who shot JR was the most important thing in America at the time
Miami Vice - Remember the Willie Nelson episode? Pastels everywhere
CHiPs - I was convinced millions died on California highways every year
Magnum, PI - This show holds up... still great.
The A-Team - I loved it when a plan came together
Airwolf - Much better than "Blue Thunder".
Night Court - Great show, underrated
Different Strokes - What cho talkin bout Willis
The Facts of Life - I can still sing that stupid "Take the Good, you Take the bad" song intro
The Jeffersons - Great for cut downs.
Scooby Doo - was good before they jumped the shark with "Scrappy Doo"
The Price is Right - A staple on mornings I was home sick from school.
Constant Reruns of Gilligan's Island.

High School:
Cheers
Johnny Carson
Saturday Night Live
Beverly Hills 90210
