Loved so many that have already been named, but the one I got up early and sneaked into the living room to watch was The Flintstones, as it was on at 6:30am. Sat right in front of the telly with the sound low so I didn't wake my parents
I think if I remember correctly it was followed by Wacky Races |

It changed over time...
But first was the magic roundabout, then tom and jerry, then wacky races and of course captain pugwash.
Can't see any of them being seen as suitable viewing for childrens TV today...
Shame really, especially magic roundabout and captain pugwash as they were entertaining to both children and adults because of all their double meanings and innuendo. |

Wile E. Coyote, Yosemite Sam, Sylvester and Tweety etc.
Then I used to love programmes like The Moomins, Trap Door and Button moon.
Weirdly, I had a slight crush on the girl moomin  |

I loved Wacky Races, Scooby Doo, Sesame Street, The Muppet Show and Tom & Jerry.
I still love cartoons, anything that makes me laugh like King of the Hill, The Family Guy, South Park and The Simpsons |

Captain Caveman and Wacky Races and it's spin offs (Dastardly and Muttley etc) were up there as my faves.
And a special mention to Scooby Doo (pre-Scrappy Doo era of course!) - see my avatar  |

All bow to The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers!
And remember what Fat Freddy said: "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope!"
Thanks for reminding me of those wonderful comics.
I lost my copies, went to my ex wife with my hardback copy of the anarchists cookbook and our home... 
Think I may be visiting Amazon and Ebay with my credit card later!   |

"keep on truckin' man "
Really impressed that you know of the FFFB's, they were gone years before you were born and even when being published they were really quite subversive, underground and mostly sold from under counters in specialised comic and head shops.
How did you find them? |

Danger Mouse, Trapdoor, Thundercats, Dungeons and Dragons were all good. My favourites were Round the Twist or Fraggle Rock. Kids don't have it all bad today, they have Horrible Histories which is hilarious. I even watch it when the kids are at their dad's |

"Danger mouse was the top one in our house! "
I absolutely adored Star Fleet. Was very excited to find an old VHS of it a few years ago. Still stands up today.
Is it bad that there isn't one of the kids programmes mentIoned that I don't know ? Too much time in front of the tv? |

Used to get up early on a Saturday morning to watch Transformers in the 80's. I think it was followed by Star Fleet and then Terrahawks (Zelda was scary!).
There was also a Transformers copy called The Go-Bots.
My ultimate favourite was Thundercats, I had all the action figures. |
