Much too difficult to choose :
Jonny Quest. A solid cartoon had an incredible history just like strong characters. The show diserve the success it had.
Scooby Doo, fore sure. One of the biggest cartoons ever. The franchise have new shows every couple of year. For me it's one of the best. The story, the mistery, and always the space for comedy. In general the serie was intelligent, we have distinct characters that works togheter as an investigation team and a funny group.
Batman TAS - It has been a long hard journey to mainstream media for comic book characters, but finally Batman made it with time to spare in Batman: The Animated Series (later renamed The Adventures of Batman & Robin). Groundbreaking animation, superior voice-over work, and top-notch stories have made this series into a creation too stupendous to call a "cartoon." Each episode was a wondrous, albeit dark, trip through Batman's world, and how he faces each and every obstacle Gotham City gives him. Much like an amalgam of all of Batman's two-dimensional incarnations, this series' Dark Knight is tortured and driven, but not requite enough to give his enemies pithy comebacks and display romantic charms. Definitely, this is the way the Batman should and always be depicted.
And also Bravestarr was an excellent cartoon series. It was one of My favorites and I liked it just as much as He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! The cartoon was always action packed and exciting and even viewing it today its still one awesome cartoon. I just like the story and futuristic western characters.
Gargoyles
Batman Beyond
A show so brave it showed bullets being shot from guns, blood and bruises, death scenes and later on in the New Batman Adventures Batman gets shot a few times. You had storylines that were gritty and dark, fitting Gotham's setting. The villains were terrifying and you truly felt Gotham needed to be saved. Batman was an anti gun man and understood that if he used guns he would be just like Chill, the man who killed his parents. The writing led by Paul Dini was spectacular, and the series has some of the best animated episodes ever, like when the villains get together and play cards or when kids spend an episode sharing what their vision of Batman is. The series never flattened out and was always pure Batman grandeur, a model for all animated shows thereafter.
Some of my other favorite animated shows that made up my childhood where (in no particular order):
Hey Arnold!
Rugrats
Batman Beyond
Gargoyles
Johnny Bravo
Spongebob
CatDog
As a kid loved Thundercats, the new version is pretty decent.
When I was a kid I was more intrested in Captain Scarlet and the kung fu films my dad owned. I also vaguley remember watching Doctor Who once or twice but I didn't really like that much if I remember right (I like the rebooted series though).
As a kid it would be Marine Boy; Fred Quimby's Tom & Jerry; Wacky Races: The Banana Splits; Scooby-Doo; The Secret Squirrel Show; The Flintstones; The "rinky dink" Pink Panther.

First two seasons of South Park were good, of course the Simpsons and who can forget those lovable lunkheads Beavis And Butthead?
Since my kids were born, I'd go with Spongebob and Phineas and Ferb with the wacky Dr. Doofenschmirtz doing Bond like battles with Perry. There is one hilarious scene there where Perry is on a table recreating GF. Doof comments he saw this once in a movie but never did see how it turned out. My son and I were rolling on the floor!
I hated that myself.
I watched it when I was about 10 (so inbetween LTK and GE) and at that point I was starting to think the series was over so I was glad something Bond related was coming out.
And I ended up with what I thought was a terrible cartoon about Bonds annoying nephew. Jaws could talk and frequently teamed up with Nic Nac, several dead villians were magically alive and worst of all, Dr No was an alien (or at least looked like one, he had green skin!).
No argument at all there.
Batman TAS
Star Trek TAS
Adventure Time
Scooby Doo Where Are You
The greatest cartoon TV show ever made, and will ever be made for all the rest of time. Nothing shall ever be greater for kids' TV than this glorious, groundbreaking, breathtaking, inspiring masterpiece!

When I was a kid in the '90s I couldn't wait to get home from school, grab a snack and get ready for Batman: The Animated Series at 4 o'clock. Not only is this an amazing TV show, but one of the best incarnations of Batman ever. This isn't your mommy and daddy's Batman/Super Friends. I have always loved this show and when it came out on DVD I bought every volume and the animated movies it spawned. I love owning these sets and as I write this I'm watching an episode.
While this show was aimed at kids on the surface it was truly written for adults. It deals with many adult themes and situations. Mobsters, murder, schizophrenia, multiple personality disorder, earning the love and respect of ones friends and family, Bruce Wayne/Batman fighting his inner demons and the need for avenging his parents by fighting all the evil-doers of the world, etc.
While the campy-ness of Adam West's Batman/Super Friends worked perfectly for that show and era, the darkness of this show makes it a masterpiece. Thanks to Tim Burton's Batman this show's dark and sometimes scary themes were accepted by the networks but that is the only thing the two have in common. The action sequences are unbeatable, story lines are fantastic, this is the Dark Knight the way he was meant to be seen. If you are new to the Batman lore than this is a great place to start...here or with Batman Begins.
The voice-acting is immaculate, Kevin Conroy - Batman, Mark Hamill - Joker, Efram Zimblast - Alfred, Bob Hastings - Gordon, and all the others are wonderful as each character, couldn't ask for a better cast. The structuring of every episode was so well executed you couldn't wait to see what would happen in the next minute or by next week's episode. Shirley Walker's scoring is unbelievably perfect for this show, she took Danny Elman's theme and made it her own, while writing a lot more original music for the show.
This show even CREATED one of the most famous and beloved Batman characters ever, Harley Quinn, love and confidant to the Joker.
Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, Alan Burnett, Kevin Altieri, and Shirley Walker along with every other writer, animator, creator worked together flawlessly to make this an amazing show and it always will be.
There aren't enough good things I could say about this show, so I will just stop here.
I AM VENGEANCE, I AM THE NIGHT, I...AM...BATMAN!
In the early eighties I'd sit down for the first series of Transformers and the Ninja Turtles. Both series ended for me after a few seasons, astories got wrse and worse, and so did the animations.
Rugrats i later found very good, beavis and butthead when MTV just got to our shores, and The Animals of Farthing Wood, an excellent series.
Getting older I started to appriciate the Simpsons, South Park, Futurama and American Dad.
Series that I higly enjoy but wouldn't specially sit down for are those of the likes of Johnny Bravo, Wacky Races, some of the Disney ones and Loony Tunes.

Don't you ever forget the amazing episode known as "Heart of Ice", which created the Mr. Freeze we know today.
My favorite episode of the series, however, has to be "The Clock King". I don't know what it is about that episode, but whenever I put in the DVD (I only own Volume One at this point, but I'm working on getting the rest), I watch "The Clock King".

@MajorDSmythe, indeed, I prefer to physically store my collection at home so I can access it without any trouble. So now I'm stuck with an 18 season collection that'll never be completed!?
Oh I'm mad...
