I'd say 80's TV sucked almost across the board until three things happened:

1) American cartoon companies started importing Japanese designers for action cartoons

2) Fox network started producing "anti" sitcoms like Simpsons, Married with Children etc. and better produced genre fare such as Friday the 13th (sort of a "proto-X-Files")

3) Ren & Stimpy save the funny cartoon from the depths of Hannah Barbaric and others non-stop crapfest of artless toy shilling and video game garbage.

I worked at a place here in Atlanta back in the late 90's and we had hundreds of cells from all of these HB "classics", painted for peanuts by South Korean factory drones. They looked like they were painted blind folded! Just awful stuff.

While the 90's still had some real junk, by and large things were far more entertaining than in the 80's. I know a lot of Millennials seem to love the 80's but, trust me, they were terrible.
