    Wow, I found this compilation of 10 mostly obscure shows that I had completely forgot about. #9, Dinosaucers, came on at like 5:30 in the morning and was the one I watched the most outside of MASK. These are definitely a trip down memory lane.

    I also loved Dungeons and Dragons (never played the real game though).

    You guys have any random shows? Most can be found on the Youtube.

    I was one who loved the D&D cartoon but never played the game.

    Great show. I started watching it when my friends Jesus-crazy parents said it was Satanic. I was all over it.

    Love how all the theme songs sound like they were written and performed by Kenny Loggins.

    And who could forget this one:

    I loved that show

    If you got half an hour to kill here are 30 mins worth of 80s cartoon intros:

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bto7l3cKhvk&hl=en"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bto7l3cKhvk&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    Life was so simple then.

    I used to watch the D&D one (though I also never played the game itself), but I'd never even heard of 9 of the 10 from that other clip (I'd heard of "Jem" but never saw it).

    Inspector Gadget was awesome. I doubt any cartoon these days can match it.

    Prepare to view the best 80's cartoon into, perhaps the best intro of all time:

    Yeah you can find them there. But can you talk about them with Clutch BBS members? mrpaige, how could you have missed the greatness of MASK? The rest of those were early morning cartoons that only people like me who awoke at 5:45 every morning would have seen.

    I don't know. I looked it up on the IMDb, and I was 14 and living it Connecticut when it started. I was probably watching MTV instead by then.

    That would definitely be just outside kid cartoon range. It was awesome. Probably the most well known of those 10 in that video.

    Okay of those first ten shows.. the only ones I watched were Jem, Mask and Pole Position!

    The rest I had never heard of.

    I don't think I ever saw Dungeons and Dragons on tv. I might have watched it if I had. Now I need to watch the rest of these videos yall posted!

    Okay I can STILL sing along to every word of that intro. Darkwing Duck is the same way!

    I would definitely say this is top five all time... not just in the 80's.

    Okay Rescue Rangers is good... but I still like DuckTales better.

    Sort of a tie between Darkwing Duck and Rescue Rangers for second place.
