In no particular order, mine are:

Pink Panther but only the original DePatie-Freleng version from the mid-60s onwards. I've relatively recently come to appreciate the Inspector sequences. Never like the Ant and The Aardvark.

Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn, Tweety and Sylvester, Roadrunner and Wyle E. Coyote. And Porky Pig. Bugs Bunny was too much of a smartarse for my taste.

Tom and Jerry but only the Fred Quimby productions. Everything else couldn't cut it.

Dangermouse had broad appeal. Slapstick and more sophisticated humour.

Will 'O The Wisp was slightly bonkers.

I always used to watch Marine Boy and Battle of The Planets..planets..planets. I didn't realise back in the 70s and 80s that both were Japanese.

The original Scooby Doo shows were pretty good. Scrappy Doo was annoying though. From the same stable, I only vaguely remember Josie and The Pussycats. Top Cat was all right. I couldn't make any meaningful distinction between the Hair Bear Bunch, the CB Bears and Heyy, It's The King. Captain Caveman was crap - his trademark holler quickly became tiresome. I don't remember much about Snagglepuss; a kind of feline Leslie Phillips?

Agree about the Fred Quimby Tom and Jerry cartoons. We used to cheer when we saw his name. Grin And what a name!

I used to like Wacky Races but the spin offs were lousy, still watched them though.

The original Magic Roundabout, and Trumpton. My face coverings are Trumpton characters, and it is surprising how many people remember Windy Miller.

The Simpsons. Have watched it from the beginning in 1989/1990 as a kid and still love it now....even though it's different and not as good as the early days. But it has a lot of nostalgia for me and has always "been there".

New Scooby doo and new Dangermouse are both really good.

Tom and Jerry, Roadrunner, Betty Boop, Peanuts, I loved Wacky Races, The Jetsons and Danger Mouse.
Also The Jackson 5 and The Osmond ones 😄
SpongeBob Squarepants and Franklin for newer ones.

There was a short series of Fred Basset cartoons shown on the BBC in the mid to late 1970s. Oddly enough, they were produced by the same studio that made the Peanuts cartoons. Maybe that's why they didn't work but the idea could have been successful. Lionel Jeffries was the narrator.
