There is only one cartoon for me and that is hands down, Scooby Doo!. Not talking about the Scrappy Doo years or the "Scooby meets the..." years, but season 1, the Creeper, What a Knight for a Fright, the golden oldies.
Most others I liked were mentioned, but dating myself there are a few others (in the cartoon genre) in no particular order.
1. Johnny Quest (one of my all-time favs)
2. StarBlazers (about circa 1979 or 80)
3. Shazam! (and Isis)
4. Lidsville (another physchedelic show like HR puffenstuff) if we only knew then what they really meant.
5. The Super Friends
6. Captain Caveman
7. Space Ghost
8. Josie and the Pussycats
9. Land of the Lost
10. Far out Space Nuts
11. Underdog
12. Tennessee Tuxedo
13. Quickdraw McGraw
14. Sherman and Mr. Peabody
15. Hong Kong Phooey (we love youey)
16. Speedbuggy
17. Rocky & Bullwinkle
18. Popeye
There are probably a few more that I'm not remembering. Makes me feel sad now for my kids. One, I can't tell them to quit watching so many cartoons (based on my own background) and two, they will never truly know what its like to wake up in anticipation on Saturday mornings to watch your favorite cartoons. Those days are sadly gone.

Oh yes, Captain Kangaroo was a favorite for me too. And I also loved Gentle Ben and Flipper, although they weren't educational shows.
There was a child's show in the Twin Cities that was hugely popular when I was a kid, called Lunch with Casey, featuring characters named Casey Jones and Roundhouse Rodney. The highlight of every kid's birthday was to hear his name mentioned after Casey sang his birthday song:
"Happy, happy birthday, to every girl and boy
Hope this very special day brings you lots of joy
Hope the birthday presents you get from Mom and Dad
Will make this very special day the best you've ever had"
Good memories!

I also loved Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Reading Rainbow, The Letter People, Muppet Babies, and The Snorks! Man, I miss those old shows!

You must remember Romper Room then too !! I have no idea what happened to it, but I'm sure as a kid I had a Casey Jones - Roundhouse Rodney album. I seem to remember the song "Onions I I love" or something like that. A great show.

"I Love Onions"--yes, I remember! That and "Walking in my Winter Underwear" (a little Minnesota humor!)
And Romper Room was a favorite too. Remember this:
Romper bomper stomper boo
Tell me, tell me, tell me do
Magic Mirror, tell me today
Have all my friends had fun at play?

Romper Room, here, too! I loved all the old Sid & Marty Kroft shows. My mom said when I was a baby, I would squeal and plop my little self on the floor when the Banana Splits came on. My kids love Scooby Doo as much as I did. I hated the Sleeztaks!! They always scared me! My favorite show of all (not a kids) was Twilight Zone!

5) You Can't Do That on Television

I forgot that set of shows they did that had Isis, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl!
-
I was kinda obsessed with Kids Inc! To the poin where I actually bought the one and only LP that was ever produced for them and still have it!
Isis was a spin-off of Shazam and Electro Woman and Dyna Girl was from the minds of Sid and Marty Kroft. I was a huge Kroft fan as well with Wonder Bug being a favorite.

I remember both and that's why I liked them so much was that you had a fun time while learning. I know Science Court episodes are floating around YouTube somewhere but haven't had much luck with Histeria!.

I loved Mr. Rogers, Sesame Street, The Smurfs, 3-2-1 Contact, The Jetsons and Fraggle Rock. If any of these came back on Tv that aren't on now, I'd be thrilled!
