Ah, I watched cartoons until I was "too old" to watch them! :)
I got a kick out of the following:
On Saturday Mornings, I enjoyed...
The Beatles cartoon.
Underdog.
Atom-Ant
The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner show (all of it's incarnations).
Space Ghost
Birdman
Herculoids
Spider-Man
Fantastic Four
Samson Jr
The Impossibles
Frankenstein Jr
The Mighty Heroes/Mighty Mouse
The Beagles
Bullwinkle

Later, I liked
The Adventures of Superman
The Batman/Superman Hour with Aquaman
Everything's Archie
Scooby Doo
Josie and the Pussycats
Space Academy and Jason of Star Command (live action)
Shazam/Isis (live action)

During the week on local TV it was live action Batman. Three Stooges. Bozo (with many cartoons like Popeye, Casper, Beetle Bailey, etc).
Bugs Bunny. Speed Racer. The 8th Man. Gigantor. Astro Boy. Marine Boy. Kimba and Prince Planet.

On my top 5

1- Tom & Jerry
2- Droopy (Tex Avery version)
3- All the Text Avery cartoons, even banned ones.
4-Robotech
5-He-Man & She-Ra

Tex Avery for me was, the Genius if it's time in the animated cartoons, their jokes were so sharp you can't stop laughing!

I love the Tex Avery cartoon I think it's called "Quiet Please" where a guy goes away to get rest at a super quiet resort, and there's a man and woman in the next room cutting it up with a trumpet and giggling.

I loved Battle of the Planets. Also the english dub of Space Battleship Yamato (Star Blazers). I also have vague but fond memories of a Flash Gordon cartoon that was around during the 80's.

The Simpsons: The only one of these that I still watch occasionally if it's on tv.

Animaniacs: Loved that show.

Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines: Those poor fellas never could catch that darn pigeon.

Tom & Jerry: Mostly the classic ones, but I also had a VHS with obscure episodes from the 1970s. My favourite from that series was when they go bowling.

Muzzy in Gondoland: Ok, granted that we were pretty much "forced" to watch it in the third grade English class, but despite the fact that its educational language lessons were often slow and repetitious, a parking meter/clock-eating green monster is totally awesome for a 9-year old. I wonder if this was some kind of precursor to Shrek?

The Flintstones & The Jetsons: Another two great old school Hanna-Barbera shows that Cartoon Network used to show during my childhood. These two in particular complemented each other quite well, although I preferred Fred more than the somewhat dull George.

Dexter's Lab: One of the best among the (at the time) new Cartoon Network series that came out in the later half of the 90s. Who didn't want to have their own laboratory hidden in their house? Others include Ed, Edd & Eddie, Powerpuff Girls, and Cow & Chicken (bizarre for the faceless parents and the scary red devil character). Johnny Bravo too, he was a cool dude! The animations weren't exactly top-notch, but that was compensated by decent entertainment value.

Almost everything made by Disney, including shorts with Mickey, Donald & Goofy in the 30s & 40s. Also many Looney Tunes shorts from the same era.

Then there were a ton of childrens' shows (both cartoon and non-cartoon) that my country's national channel used to air every day at 6 PM. The names of the cartoons evade me right now; I remember this one about a teenager with glasses and a yellow shirt. Think he was meant to be antropomorphic or something, and he had a friend who was a bunny IIRC. Oh, and The Busy World of Richard Scarry is another favourite that they used to show every now and then.

Nickelodeon & Fox Kids had some decent shows, but in Nickelodeon's case, I preferred life action shows such a All That. In Fox Kids, there was this program called Braceface, but I will never admit to watching episodes of it. NEVER. Lol.

Lastly, when was really young, there was a channel called The Children's Channel (TCC). It became defunct already back in October 2000, and I honestly don't remember any specific shows, but it was by far the most watched tv channel. It exposed me to English at a very young age, as they never dubbed it to my language, thank God. So, I already knew some English by the time I had my first English class (which coincided with TCC shutting down, hmm...).

There's probably more, but this is what I can think of from the top of my head.

Bless you, you wonderful woman! I can hear the theme song as I write this! YES! TBS.... I'd been making myself crazy trying to remember the name of that bloody show. I think they're also responsible for a number of other brilliant cartoons!....
Which I will now have to go Google!
