I grew up in the 90's so the only shows I can recognize from that list are Thundercats, He - Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Transformers.

And yes Priom, the show was called Swat Kats.

Oh I remember Chip N' Dale. Cute show, wasn't it from the 90's though?

1989, just squeezed in :)
90's are ok to be in here too though, I think 80's and 90's shows were much better than today.

The original Gundam series was pretty good, some would say it paved the way for the best mecha shows that came after it. Such as Evangelion.

As for the original question, I'd have top say they're both on par. I think it all comes down to personal taste. I mean, I loved some shows back then (like Thundercats and TMNT) and hated others. Just like now, I love some shows (like the Legend of Korra and Young Justice), and hate others. Though, I have to say that I'm hating on more shows now than I did back then.

The theme tunes and intros used to be so awesome back then!

If you're talking about actual Japanese anime(like the rest of this board) then they both have their pros and cons.

If it's just animation in general (or rather, western) then the films back then were so much better...  So, so much better..
I grew up watching them instead of 90's films like my friends, because my mother, like myself, is a very nostalgic person : P

Hey, lets not forget The Simpsons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_simpsons) is from the 80's too.

Sometimes I forget because I still see it around theme parks and in stores.

Well, I think I made a good case for the 80's(and early 90's) being better than todays crap.

Only in western society, though.
I've no idea about anywhere else.
Japan seems to be good at staying constant.

misleading title
but Chip and Dale rescue rangers , duck tales , pinky and the brain , and looney tunes are what I watched last time
