All of them. Still remember the Flintstones being on in prime time. Jetsons were on only one season. Seemed like a lot longer. 

Saturday and Sunday mornings on Throwback TV, they have a lotto other ones (over the air on 56-4 in Buffalo) one of those low power stations.  Retro TV (56-2) has  Dr. Who from7-8 PM  and Offbeat Cinema  (Produced at WBBZ in Buffalo) on  late Saturday evenings.

 

Have you seen the Dr. Who animated show in 80s? I saw an episode or 2 when in high school.

Never sawn Dr. Who untilI think the 90s . I think I saw one animated one recently. Was one with the second Dr. (the one with the Moe Howard haircut) .I think the video of the original broadcast was so messed up, the used the audio and drew animation to it.

Anyone ever watch the early 90s series “The Pirates of Dark Water”? It was really terrific, but only lasted two

seasons.

I recognize some of the scenes and characters but not remember watching.

 

Another two season animated series with good characters:

The Legend of Prince Valiant

[BringMetheHeadofLeonLett]

Mel Blanc, Warner Brothers... Bugs, Wile E, Elmer Fudd, Taz, Marvin the Martian, 'Rocky Curtains', the WWII propaganda, Yosemite Sam, the red hair-monster, Wagner. Pioneers, Pirates and Redskins, stupid ducks, stupid hunters, paranoid hunting dogs, there was just nothing left uncovered by these folks.  
 

want one lump or two?

 

Bugs Bunny/Looney Toons/Mel Blanc are  just untouchable imho.   Not to say others can't do great, but that is an amazing act to follow.   Stuff like Tom and Jerry was 50,000 miles behind.  
 

 Very Honorable Mention to 'Speed Racer'.  ***** amazing cartoon!!!

It used foley instead of the traditional orchestration, so it was so... just... different. 
 

Later they'd call it anime, but at the time it was just a cartoon set to sounds other than orchestral.

Old Disney deserves some love too-

Looney Tunes. My fav was the dastardly skunk Pepe le Pew. He may not be PC any more. But his french accent used to crack me up. 

[Fr. Jerk]

Ren and Stimpy.

Old Tom and Jerry were gold.  When the animosity was written out between the characters, and the shorts became typical Hanna Barbera flats, they became 'blah'.
