I was just curious to see for all those cartoon lovers out there, what the community can remember watching growing up.
So what can you remember? Go back as far as you can (yes I know some of you can remember Hanna Barbara's Wacky Races or Catch that Pigeon) so I'll through a few out that I think most of you might not recall.

Since there are the obvious: TMNT, Tiny Toons, Duck Tails, Transformers, Voltron, GIJoe... etc. And since I still get up and watch cartoons. I thought I would share some of the shows that most people frequently left out/ forgot /or never watched. I loved all of these shows. Now keep in mind, I watched A LOT of TV as a kid.
Denver the Last Dinosaur (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP4EPIXWFMU)
Eek the Cat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-qhz7DAwZ8)
Bobbies World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6xqamEd8s0)
Count Duckula (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VthsQVsXwEg)
Danger Mouse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BouKBkQAGA)
My Pet Monster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXVL0Ca2bPY)
The Raccoons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOazb-lPKNc)
David the Gnome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAphcvZaS8I)
Now since I live in NW Washington these shows were broadcast from Canada so I doubt any other Americans know these shows:
Fred Penners Place (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cjgNARNeqk)
Mr Dressup (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdJ1oGh3QGo)
Under the Umbrella Tree (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHYZqAKkyvA)
I could go on and on...
EDIT: Studying animation basically has forced me to watch damn near everything, Including shows that predate my birth. The shows above I remember Physically watching as a child... If we wanted to go as far back in time as possible of shows/animation I have watched. Start with Fantasmagorie and work forward to present day :)

Yeah, I never really stopped watching cartoons, so my list would potentially go on forever. But yeah, things like Transformers and G.I. Joe and Ducktales back in the days, up through shows like Ninja Turtles and Gargoyles, all the way up to Avatar and...well...Ninja Turtles again.

I wasn't allowed to watch huge amounts of TV as a kid. Over several years, these are the shows I watched. We had Nickelodeon so that's why it is mostly Nicktoons.
Rugrats
CatDog
The Wild Thornberries
Rocko's Modern Life
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
KaBlam
Hey Arnold
The Angry Beavers
Oh Yeah! Cartoons
Spongebob Squarepants
Rocket Power
The Fairly OddParents
Invader Zim (man, this show was amazing)
Pokemon
Digimon
Animaniacs
The Jetsons
Richie Rich
... and whatever was on Saturday Disney during the early nineties.
Then there's the very early memories of shows that were a bit before my time that I nonetheless saw bits and pieces of:
Inspector Gadget
Astro Boy
Doug
Captain Planet

That's not nearly all of the ones i remember, but i wanted to keep it really short. I have tons of different intros on my computer that i love to play and fall back into nostalgia land.
I totally remember Fred Penner's Place, and I always wanted a sweet secret base like he had in the show.
I also remember Maya the Bee, it was always on just before i went to school.
