The Chuck Norris cartoon is probably my least favorite.

I disagree on Shirt Tales, Mr. T, Captain N and even Rubiks Cube was ok. Mr. T had one of the best theme songs of the 80s.

I agree on California Raisins, Potato Head Kids and Camp Candy, but I think the Gilligan's Island and Gary Coleman ones were mailing it in. You could add just about every TV adaptain to the list...Punky Brewster, Dukes of Hazard, Laverne & Shirley, the Fonz, etc. I can't believe you didn't include the most overrated Denver the Last Dinosaur or the biggest ripoff...the fake Ghost Busters. Gobots & Orbots didn't hurt Transformers at all, but Ghostbusters had to add "Real" to their name.

My list would include...

1. Denver the Last Dinosaur
2. Mask (also way overrated)
3. Foofur
4. Kissyfur
5. My Pet Monster (had potential, didn't capitalize)
6. Tiger Sharks
7. Mad Balls
8. Dinosaucers
9. The Fake Ghostbusters
10. Rude Dog (more wasted potential)

Mr. T was a great cartoon of the 80's, which is way better than that horribly annoying Alvin And The Chipmunks cartoon.

Would've hated to be a preteen in the 80's some of the worst cartoons was in that decade.

MASK, Tigersharks, and Dinosaucers are all incredible cartoons and beloved to this day by the people that grew up watching them. And Im assuming you mean The REAL Ghostbusters which still holds up to this day aside for the final season. Madballs wasn't even a series theres a single direct to video episode that was broadcast on cable as a special occasionally and then a "music video" special vhs that was released.

I take it you haven't seen the likes of:

-Meatballs & Spaghetti
-Laverne and Shirley in the Army
-Partridge Family 2200
-The Robonic Stooges
-Kid N' Play
-The Gary Coleman Show
-Potato Head Kids

And thats just the tip of the iceberg, basically any sitcom to animated series adaptation is over abundant and absolute dreck (although Fonz and the Happy Days Gang is just mind-melting, weird fun!)
