Please reply to this post with your nominations for which cartoons should be included in our little marathon (September 3rd 2011). We're looking for SEVEN HOURS of classic 80's Saturday Morning cartoons here, that's 14 half-hours to fill! Only rules for nominations is that it needs to be a cartoon (or children's program) that was on the air some time between 1980 and 1989.

This covers A LOT of territory thanks to the proliferation of syndicated second-run cartoons through most of the 80's! For instance, the animated Star Trek was only on the air from 1973 to 1974, but I didn't discover it till it was broadcast as reruns on Saturday mornings in the 80's. Land of The Lost, H.R. Puffenstuff, Jabberjaw, Grape Ape... a good chunk of the 80's cartoons I remember were actually products of the 1970's.

So what do we do? Limit this to anything you saw in the 1980's, or limit it to stuff that was actually *produced* in the 1980's?

Suggestions and nominations appreciated :)

I remember Peewee Herman as a pretty big part of Saturday mornings in the late 80's. Even my dad watched it with me.

WHAT-EV-AAR!
There's always room for Pee Wee.

always.

I'll bring my lap top and watch Playhouse in the bathtub.
Everyone will follow me.
You'll see.
You will be sitting in the living room alone watching Gummi Bears but the REAL fun will be in the bathroom shouting the magic word!

"...but the REAL fun will be in the bathroom shouting the magic word!"

This phrase needs to be taken out of context.

Just sayin'.
