Offhand, I can think of:
Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin Transformers Ducktales Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers Gummi Bears Inspector Gadget Garfield and Friends Heathcliff Darkwing Duck Snorks Pound Puppies Care Bears
Most of these I watched in the 90s, while they were in reruns, since I was born in the tail end of the 80s, 1987 to be exact. My mom always jokes that I grew up in the wrong decade.

I have to say I'm a faithful guy, and that started way back at age 3... not to knock anybody who has other shows they love... I go all around the block when it comes to sitcoms and dramas and movies... but cartoons, Teddy was it. I watched "Doug" a little bit in the early 90's, and as an adult I enjoy "King of the Hill" and "Inspector Gadget" got a view now and then, but Teddy is #1 through at least #30 on my list of top 'toons

I have to go with Josh here. Teddy was the only cartoon I remember watching in the 80's. I was born in '85, so I don't remember a whole lot about that time before Teddy.
Other shows I enjoyed:
Gummi Bears Ducktales Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers Talespin
I don't know how many people remember "The Disney Afternoon". That's where a lot of these shows went after their original syndication on Saturday mornings. I watched that show faithfully until I moved to New York in 1995 and could no longer find a station where this lineup was offered.
I remember that as one show was taken off, another show was added. This went on from probably 1989-1997. I remember them adding:
Bonkers Goof Troop Darkwing Duck Aladdin
I watched all of them, but after awhile they started to lose that quality that made the early shows so much fun. I think Disney eventually decided they wanted to compete with more serious cartoons, and eventually shows like Gummi Bears, Ducktales, and Chip n' Dale died out. I was thrilled to see them released on DVD, and have them all. Whenever I have free time on my hands I like to sit down and watch them and reminisce.
I never watched a lot of sitcoms until I got into ABC's TGIF lineup (which eventually went sour as well). I watched a lot of movies, mainly Disney, over and over. I was anamored with Winnie-the-Pooh and at one point had every member of my household named after a character from the 100-Acre Wood.
Still, nothing compared to Teddy Ruxpin. It was the first show that I remember needing to see. Up until the DVD release, I had never seen all the episodes, and my brother used to tell me stories about a M.A.V.O. Airship and Tweeg as Supreme Oppressor. I later found tapes that my dad had recorded for me that helped fill some of the gaps. Still, we used to gossip and conjecture about Teddy's father, mother, what Rillonia was like, and what would happen if Quellor ever got ahold of all six crystals. Even with the DVD's now, I only watch these episodes once in a while because that keeps them special to me. I have watched the entire series through twice, which, after 22 years of waiting, is a very rewarding experience.

Yeah, most of the 80s cartoons I watched were the ones that were in reruns in the early 90s. My childhood television watching was split between PBS, the Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network.
Also, I forgot to add Fantastic Max and My Little Pony to my list.

Leadbounder, so you remember Esteban, Zia and Tao from The Mysterious Cities of Gold? I watched the whole series in French way back when and actually found a Torrent with the entire series and the scenes cut out by censors. Apart from Teddy Ruxpin, that's a series I truly miss.

The Mysterious Cities Of Gold is available on dvd. Fabulous Films released the English dub of the series last year, both in the UK and the US. I see you are from Canada, so you should go for the last version. www.amazon.ca/Mysterious-Cities-Gold-Complete/dp/B001QKB2XC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1255648706&sr=8-1There are also various dvd editions of the French version of the show, both in France and Canada. I had a some French episodes taped 10 years ago, and the French voice track is actually better than the English one imho. Esteban has a much better chosen voice. Zia also has a quite strong Canadian accent (don't mean to offend you) in the English version. But since my French is definitely too weak to understand a quite sophisticated series like MCOG, I stick with the English version.

I forgot to mention two excellent non-children anime series from the 80's: The Super Dimensional Fortress Macross (the original series, not the Robotech version) Urusei Yatsura
