POLL: When WERE the 80's, anyway?

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Just curious, and it may help sway some decisions we have to make about the next 1980's Saturday Morning Historical Reenactment Society Watch-Along (calm down, it won't be till December at the earliest)...

All of the above. And then on to Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, Men In Black, Batman: The Animated Series, Pokémon, Freakazoid, Pinky and the Brain, Road Rovers, Tale Spin, Cartoon Planet, Sheep In the Big City, Jackie Chan Adventures, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo...

...not to mention the old days of Johnny Quest, Speed Racer, Kimba the White Lion, Marine Boy...

...and check the icon. Great cartoons are great cartoons. The year doesn't matter!

For some of us, that's so very true :) However, this isn't a "When Were The Best Cartoons Made" poll, it's a "When were You Actively Watching First-Run 80's Cartoons". For instance, I'll begrudgingly admit that there was a time between 1988 and 1989 when I was a surly teenager who still loved my cartoons but had trouble waking up before noon on weekends to enjoy the full Saturday Morning Experience :(

Hmm. Well I can honestly say I didn't watch any first-run '80s cartoons in any decade that wasn't the '80s...

Are you sure you didn't live at my house? These are exactly the ones we watched as well. LMAO

The icon says it all!
