When we first ran a inclination ofa dozen unmemorable ’ eighty cartoonsback in November , we barely scrub the airfoil of the decennary ’s crappiest animated shows . Here are 12 more that deserve to be re - forgotten at once after you read this lean . And if you take you liked them , you ’re either lie to us or to yourself .
https://gizmodo.com/12-cartoons-from-the-1980s-no-one-will-ever-have-nosta-1657410102
1 ) Goldie Gold and Action Jack
watch over this cartoon intro and just assay not to be enrage . presumptively revolutionize by the amatory adventure - drama adults were watching at the time , like Scarecrow and Mrs. King , this Ruby - Spears cartoon went way out of its style to be as unprogressive as possible . Super - deep , entitled , teenage blonde female child moonlight as damsel - in - distress for large , toughened almost - certainly - too - old - for – her newsman / manly man who incessantly minimize her for her eld and gender ? staring . Even the other ’ LXXX knew better , and the show ended after 13 episode . Or peradventure the ’ eighty did n’t know better , and the show just sucked . Either path , give thanks good it die out quickly . ( 1981 - 82 )
2 ) Noozles
Originally a Nipponese anime predict The Wondrous Koala Blinky , this significance was part of a majestic tradition of Japanese kids ’ cartoon that were pretty much insane . A female child gets a mysterious box from her miss grandfather containing a comatose koala , who can only be come to via “ noozles , ” better acknowledge as Eskimo kisses . This koala bear , list Blinky , can transport the little girl to Koalawalla , a magical and yet surprisingly racis landt , which intend the fille must put on a half - assed native bear costume to visit lest she be thrown in koala jail . Anyways , grandfathers are searched for , adventures are had , and a surprising amount of strong-arm warmheartedness between sentient native bear and underage girls is endure .
3 ) The Biskitts
coalesce the adorability of miniaturise , bipedal cad with the high stakes drama of geo - political conflict , The Biskitts was about an island nation of undersize pup who had somehow been appointed the world ’s gem - keepers . Alas , the queen of the Biskitts had of late go , leaving them under constant attack by the Martin Luther King Jr. ’s icky vernal sidekick Max , who was somehow the king of his own nearby Carry Nation name “ Lower Suburbia . ” see as Max is distinctly next in the note of succession , it would seem the “ noble ” Biskitts are illicitly prevent the rightful monarchy from swear itself , and can require to be arrest and sent to the puppy closure by compartment . Fun fact : one of the Biskitts , a daschund , was named “ Scat . ” ( 1983 - 84 )
4 ) Pandamonium
In the incredibly unlikely chance you remember that this cartoon ever live , let me resume the plot for you , because there ’s no agency you have n’t repressed it . An evil alien wizard named Mondraggor is trying to assemble the piece of a mysterious artifact called the Pyramid of Power , and the only people tolerate in the way of the enslavement of the intact universe are a pal and sister duo and three dim - witted talking panda bear describe — and I am not puddle this up — Timothy , Algernon , and Chesty . Also , the pandas had apparently been irradiate by the Pyrmaid , which meant they could unify consistency into the powerful and yet terrifying “ Poppapanda . ” Alas , the show ended before this epic , entirely insane story could be fully enjoin . Pandamonium is distinctly a case of a title of respect being selected before thinking up the factual plot . It ’s also a case of a shit - ton of drugs being consumed before thinking up the plot , too . ( 1982 - 83 )
5 ) Yogi ’s Treasure Hunt
I finger like masses have more nostalgia for Hanna - Barbera toon than an literal tenderness . Sure , Flintstones was great , and Thundarr the Barbarian was surprisingly neat , but 9/10ths of H - B ’s merchandise was stuff like Yogi the Bear , which was mainly a cartoon about an asshole bear who did n’t respect the property right of other people , particularly in regards to picnic baskets . Anyways , Hanna - Barbera loved Yogi , even if nobody else did , and kept roil out cartoons asterisk the “ chic than average ” bear over the decades , including this one where Top Cat sent him and other H - B character to basically pretend to be Indiana Jones . Wacky Races it was not . ( 1985 - 88 )

6 ) Maxie ’s World
One of Hasbro ’s many attempts — and failures — to emulate the success of Mattel ’s Barbie doll line , Maxie somehow did not impress girls when they depart to the toy storage . And yet in the sketch , Maxie was another rich teenaged light-haired girl who was also a uncoiled - A student , a cheerleader , a surfer , a secret solver , the star of her own strike TV show , and basically had never had a single trouble or disappointment in her intact goddamned living . Maxie ’s World premier on September 14th , 1987 , and for some mysterious reason run all the way to the distant date of October 25th , 1987 . At any pace , the show did avail Hasbro finally learn not to name characters after popular terms for healthful napkins . ( 1987 )
7 ) The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley
To be fair , I have no theme if this cartoon based on Martin Short ’s semi - beloved type was as slap-up as , say , The Pee Wee Herman Show ( the man - child whose popularity conduce Grimley ’s style to Saturday morning TV ) or if it was terrible bullshit . That ’s principally because it only lasted 13 episodes , hardly enough to start a furor following , but also because it was base on Short ’s Saturday Night Live character . Of course , this cartoon aired three full year after Short ’s single class on SNL , a show kids were n’t allowed to stay up and watch at any rate . Basically , I have no estimation why Hanna - Barbera intend this was a good thought . Still , that ’s a pretty telling intro , though . ( 1988 )
- The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy
I theorise there had to have been a time when a youngster was actually excited to receive a Raggedy Ann or Andy doll as a present . This was presumably back in 1918 , when Raggedy Ann was first exhaust , and the only other alternative for kids to play with were sticks and rock . By the time Ann and Andy star in this ’ 80 cartoon , Kyd had Nintendos and enough taste to recognize that Raggedy Ann dolls were kind of terrifying . The substantiation is in the show ’s sparseWikipedia Thomas Nelson Page , which does n’t even know how many episodes were made , and on YouTube , which had this individual , lonesome cartridge holder . I mean . perhaps it ’s from some other sketch . It ’s goddamned Raggedy Ann , who care ? ( 1988 - 90 )
9 ) Lady Lovely Locks and the Pixietails
After the American Greetings Corporation churned out strike properties like Strawberry Shortcake , Care Bears and the Popples , each root on both doll and show , the fellowship reckon they could do no wrong . Hilariously , they were wrong about this . Lady Lovely Locks is about a blonde princess who has some tiny flying creature pals called Pixietails and a prince who was cursed to know as a sheepdog for some rationality ; they all tried to keep LLL ’s realm dependable from the vicious , non - light-haired , non - Caucasian Lady RavenWaves . It ’s worth noting that Lady Lovely Locks has a non - quick , non - talking pup diagnose SilkyPup , who desperately wants to have sex with Prince StrongHeart , so that ’s pretty sleep together up . ( 1987 )
10 ) Trollkins
As you could see from its introduction , Trollkins was obviously a mark between the Smurfs and The Dukes of Hazzard , and was clearly hawk as such . It ’s a ridiculous approximation , one with the great power to be the best thing ever or the worst . Suffice it to say , if it had been the best , you would retrieve it .
11 ) Pink Panther and Sons
In my first list of ’ 80s Cartoons No One Has Nostalgia For , I refer Popeye and Son , and the eldritch habit the ’ 80s vitality industriousness had of taking classic animated cartoon character and then foist small kid characters on them . Pink Panther and Sons was one of these , where his tyke Pinky and Panky hung out with a form pack of unlike one-sided panther cubs , getting in trouble and check about friendship and bullshit like that . Why toon company thought a 1960s character like Pink Panther was somehow democratic enough to base a show around in the 1980s , but somehow not popular enough to be that show ’s star , is spoil to me . Also baffling : Why they chose to give little Panky a constantly saggy diaper . Does that not mean it ’s so full of child panther scat singing that it can no longer properly cover his presumably filth - encrusted ass ? ( 1984 - 85 )

12 ) Street Frogs
On the plus side , Street Frogs was one of the former cartoons that try out to appeal to new African - American audiences . On the non - positive side , that attempt was based entirely around an old , white aliveness studio executive having this idea : “ dark kids like articulatio coxae hop . I question what else like hop ? ” ( 1987 - 88 )
