I JUST FOUND THE GREATEST THING ON YOUTUBE

80s and 90s cartoon openings

Relive your Saturday mornings.

(part 3 is blocked, so I looked to see what was on there and unfortunately some of my favorites (Denver the Last Dinosaur, Captain Planet, and Beetlejuice) were on there so I know what ones I"m looking for separately)
I don’t know what to put here anymore

Every so often, I take a trip down memory lane on YouTube watching these TV intros from my youth.

I don't recognize 90% of these cartoons, but the ones I do have a special place in my emotions.  I recall some of these not being on Saturday morning, but M-F morning.  I'd wake up early and watch two (1 hour total) of morning cartoons like MASK or Transformers.  I lived relatively close to school and would have everything by the door ready to go when the last cartoon ended (before the credits) and make a mad dash to school.

I do remember Saturday mornings being a battle between cartoons, video game console or just playing outside.  So no wonder I want to remember my youth.  Saturday mornings were so awesome.

some real gems in there....Blackstar and Thundarr the Barbarian were awesome.

part 3 had Dungeons & Dragons so that was a bummer.

didn't see Johnny Quest or the Herculoids on any of the lists.

Johnny Quest was 70s. I know they still had it in the 80s but it was my dad's favorite cartoon when he was a kid and he is in his mid-50s. Don't know herculoids.

And agreed about pt3. Denver the Last D

Holy crap I had all but forgotten about Gargoyles.  What an epic opening.

Ya, I guess Johhny Quest was older than I thought.

After some research it appears The Herculoids was actually from the late 60's, but had a short revival in the early 80's.

Cool find! But where in the blue hell is Star Blazers? Did I not see it? I just scanned them quickly.

Haven't watched it, but no Star Blazers?

What about Battle of the Planets?  Or Ultraman?
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

What amazes me, in hindsight, is that some of these shows had really awesome theme music.  For example, MASK and Thundercats had absolutely bitchin' intro music.

funny, those were my two favorite theme songs

Back in the day, I recorded the Thundercats theme song with one of these bad boys so I could replay it as I was having battles with the action figures:
