I could list my very extensive list but I'll leave it at these two because I've seen way too many TV shows in my lifetime.

#1 80's animated show of all time:
The Transformers
(duh)

#2 80's animated TV show of all time:
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

Why doesn't anyone seem to remember this one?
It was co-written by J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5.
Not to mention the fact it had the best intro/outro theme songs ever!
(Yes, my humble opinion.)

Animated TV Shows

Robotech: It may not seem like it now, especially compared to all of the anime that's being dubbed and brought over here for American audiences, but Robotech was - and still is - ahead of its time. The folks at Harmony Gold took three separate, completely unrelated anime series and combined them into one, cohesive universe that still has a large following two decades later. I don't know if we'll ever see the likes of something like that again.

Voltron: For all of the changes that were made to it to make it "better" for American audiences to watch (the original was MUCH more violent), it's still a good show.

Mysterious Cities of Gold: Man, I loved this show when I was a little kid. I used to watch it religiously on Nickelodeon. This series needs to be reaired, and/or to be released on DVD.

Pound Puppies: I'm talking about the "first season" here, not the "New Adventures of the Pound Puppies" that changed the characters' personalities (Nose Marie as a housewife instead of a Southern Belle? I think not!) and changed Puppy Power from something special and rare to a deux ex machina.

Animated Movies

Secret of NIMH: Oh. Words cannot express how much I love this movie. In my opinion, THIS is the best movie Don Bluth ever did, surpassing even American Tail. Everything about it is wonderful, especially the fact that it's not a musical with everyone bursting into song during every act.

The Last Unicorn: Another beautiful, beautiful movie. I love the fact that it has a bittersweet happy ending (although as Schmendrick put it, there are no happy endings because nothing ends). Schmendrick and Molly are the fairy-tale couple of that movie, not Lir and Almalthea.
