Mario bros. Ghost Busters, Pink Panther, Legend of Zelda, etc...
now i don't know about you guys, but when i was younger, I used to watch all of cartoon series mentioned in this thread title. They were original and some of my favorite...especially the Mario Bros. show, where princess Peach was one of my favorite characters.
~something I just noticed: In the show Princess Peach(then known as Princess Toadstool) was a brunette, and was actually portrayed as though she had a brain. Recently though, Nintendo, hopping onto the train of "media stereotypes", has pretty much made her out to be the typical blond-hair blue-eyed brainless bimbo in all of their games, starting with the release of Super Mario 64(if you listen to all of her voice acting in every subsequently released game, she sounds and acts like a 5-year old doped up on helium or something)...now i realize that i'm talking about a made-up video game character here, but that's not the point of this thread.~ the point of this is that while searching for info on any of the upcoming zelda games, i actually stumbled upon a site that plays these old cartoon shows(among others) for free! and while watching them may seem childish to a lot of people they do bring back a lot of memories...for me anyway. so i just wanted to share with others who may feel the same way. random acts productions hope you enjoy...

You do realize you have become the greatest person in the history of the planet for showing me this, right?

I forgot how strange and disjointed 80s cartoons were. I just watched seven continents for seven koopas... weird..
