Two cartoons from the 80s I enjoyed were Danger Mouse (a British toon that parodied James Bond and other spy flicks) and the Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers (essentially futuristic cowboys in space -- one of the villains, Scarecrow was especially creepy and menacing)

Some stuff you don't hear much about today, but were somewhat well known are Captain N: The Game Master, Adventures of the Gummi Bears, and The Legend of Zelda. The last of which was something many Zelda fans would rather leave forgotten.

Trying to think of some of the other older shows you don't hear about very often. The Wacky World of Tex Avery comes to mind. This wasn't actual cartoons made by Tex Avery, but they were heavily inspired by his works. Not exactly the best stuff, but at that time there was nothing else on. Extreme Dinosaurs, Street Sharks, Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars, and Biker Mice from Mars are rather obscure today as well.

Now for a few good cartoon movies. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs*, Hotel Transylvania, Despicable Me 1 and 2, How to Train Your Dragon, Rover Dangerfield, The Secret of NIMH, and The Chipmunk Adventure.
I look forward to The Incredibles 2, and I heard from my brother they are doing movies of Hey Arnold!, and Rocko's Modern Life.
*I was shocked at how outright hilarious this movie was. I only watched it because I was extremely bored, and it was free on Netflix.

I honestly do not watch as many shows anymore.
I hear Shesshomaru is awesome though.

The old Mega Man cartoon came up recently since Mega Man 11 was recently announced for next year. It looks like a good game. The anime of Mega Man Battle Network, and Mega Man Star Force were decent from what I got to see, but I didn't catch a lot of the episodes.
Duck Tales has started back up, and the last episode was pretty decent. I'm hoping it's not too long before Atomic Puppet's next season starts.
A few shows I remember being decent. Spider Riders*, Martin Mystery, and Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes were all pretty good. I wish they hadn't decided on shutting the Avengers one down for what amounted to a reboot. Avoid Hulk and the Agents of SMASH. They decided to make it like The Office, and "interview" the characters every so often. If they hadn't done that, it might have been decent. I mean, they seriously cut away from the middle of a fight to have you listen to A-Bomb describe what was going through his mind as it started.
At least I will have some more stuff to keep my attention since I've got Super Mario Odyssey, Dragon Ball** Xenoverse 2, and should have Xenoblade Chronicles 2 soon.
*I hate spiders, but these things looked more like robots. They would basically joust while riding them.
**If you like Dragon Ball Z, then you should like this game.

Invader Zim is coming back with a movie called "Invader Zim Enter the Florpus". Looks like most of the voice actors are coming back.
I got the Gravity Falls Complete Series Collectors Edition. Apparently there is no normal version. So far it's been consistently good. My favorite one so far is the one where Dipper uses an arcade machine with a code on the side of it to call out one of the characters inside to help him out in a fight he wants to avoid. So many old video game references, especially to stuff like Street Fighter, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage. The Manotaurs episode was pretty hilarious as well.
DuckTales is getting close to the end of this season, and with the exception of one episode most have been decent. They even brought some Darkwing Duck stuff into the show. The "Who is Gizmoduck" episode was hilarious.

I vaguely remember a cartoon from a few decades ago where one of the characters was a wizard-like character[1] that rode around sitting cross-legged on a flying basket-like seat. The only episode I saw involved a trap/puzzle that was cool. No idea what it was called but it was on for a very short time and with only that to go by I haven't been able to track it down.
