Duck Tales
A laugh riot and one of my most favorite shows ever. This was one of the most popular cartoons of the 80's that was full of adventure, fun and thrills. Huey, Dewey and Louie were the nephews of millionaire Scrooge McDuck who were always up to no good. You will surely roll on the floor with laughter every time McDuck's pilot Launchpad McQuack tried to fly a plane and attempted to land the plane safely.

One of the most popular cartoons of the 80's was Battle of the Planets. It was an adaptation of the Japanese anime Science Ninja Teen Gatchama. The plot consisted of 5 young people of the G-Force who had superhuman agility and power. They did their best to save Earth from planet Spectra and other space attacks.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael. Do I need to introduce you to these people or shall I say Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? They were turtles who lived in a sewer in New York. They fought crime and helped save the day from all evil. They were one of the most popular cartoon characters of the 80s who loved eating pizza.
Strawberry Shortcake
I can't help myself, but I have to include Strawberry Shortcake to this list. It was all about yummy desserts that made one feel hungry instantly. Strawberry Shortcake lived in a large cottage and loved to bake. Peculiar Purple Pieman was envious of her talents and tried his best to defeat her at the baking contests. But, of course he would fail miserably as Ms. Shortcake dished out the world's best sugary delights.
