Also, you guys should check out Amazon. You can buy a lot of these on DVD for cheap. I've been accumulating them little by little.

that, I'm a one man team. I've always wanted a piece of the astro crag. Guts... do ya have it.Wild and crazy kids??
Looney Tunes is the king. My favorite was called (I believe) Hunting Season where Bugs makes Elmer Fudd the hunter, trying to find a Wabbit, believe that Daffy Duck is really who he should shoot.Lots of good stuff covered here. But the Looney Tunes still reign supreme in my memory banks. Kill the Wabbit! Rabbit of Seville. Bugs tricking the mobsters. The list goes on and on.
This may be an outlier, because it's gotten no love thus far, but what about Star Blazers? It was Americanized from an early Japanese series about the Space Battleship Yamato. Great save-the-Earth quest storyline.
I've always believed that MASK would absolutely do well as a reboot, and could even work as a movie.
In 1st grade my friend Perry got me the tiger helicopter for my birthday. No lie, I still count it as one of the best gifts I've ever been given.
My list:
He-Man
Duck Tales
Transformers
MASK
Darkwing Duck
TMNT
The Batman animated series (which, I would argue, is the greatest animated series of all-time. OF ALL-TIME!)
X-Men
Also, while not cartoons but valuable contributions of Nickelodeon to children's entertainment:
You Can't Do That on Television
Roundhouse
Hey Dude
Salute Your Shorts (a part of my heart will always belong to Dina Alexander)
Edit - Also in the, ahem, live action category:
Ghostwriter (word)
No Saved by the Bell!?!?
(I won't criticize you for the lack of California Dreams)
Saved By the Bell is bitter sweet for me. Obviously it's the stuff of legends. However... my sister just would not stop watching it.
Some other, less well known cartoons and by extension toys I loved as a kid:
(Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light)

This is the winner winner chicken dinner for anybody born between 1978 and 1984. All that was missing was Super Mario Bros. w/Cap Lou and Friday Legend of Zelda.Saturday morning:
Alvin and the Chipmunks
Gummi Bears
Muppet Babies
Captain N the Gamemaster
After school
Transformers
He Man
Ducktales
MASK
GI Joe
MASK had the greatest toys ever. I knew one kid who had every single one, and I wanted to punch him in the face out of sheer jealousy.
1.) LooneyTunes: "Fearless Freep! That's my man!" "I know - I say I just know that marble headed mongrel's at the bottom of all this ...", Spike and Chester "Wanna chase a cat, Spike?" and of course ...
2.) Rocky & Bullwinkle ("Hush-a-Boom," Gidney and Cloyd, the Giant 6 Foot Metal Munching Mice) were my favorites. Dudley Dooright was another spinoff.
The rest, like the Flintstones and the Hanna-Barbera cartoons, I think I just watched because they were on.
Anyone remember Speed Racer?
