I believe that Conan the Adventurer was early-90s and not 1980s. Oh well, I still wouldn't mind seeing it released on DVD.

Okay I need to do my research a bit more thoroughly before posting a poll in the future, as I've missed a half dozen great cartoons off the list, and included a couple that shouldn't be on there.
Missed shows thus far:
Captain Planet
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
Galaxy Rangers
Defenders of the Earth

I love a lot of these shows, but I wouldn't go as far as saying everything new is "rubbish". I have to admit that the new TMNT show is simply better than the old one, for instance. The classic show started strong and went downhill fast, as I recall.
I voted for Exo-squad, because It was undeniably a great show. I've always wanted to see Pirates of Dark Water, just to see what all the fuss is about. (I think I saw only one episode, and it's all a blurr)

You meant the new one where Donatello rides a mountain bike into battle and jousts the footsoldiers?! One of them even has a scooter type thing! The original they only had skateboards, and they rarely, if ever, fought on them. Its just wrong to watch them fight on those things...and the new one is just far too serious. I miss the light hearted jokes and such from the original.
...plus the fact that you actually see Shredder all the time in the new one. He's not really all that scary anymore.
You know, honestly, I've seen most of the new episodes, and I've never seen scooters or mountain bikes. It must have been a one time thing. :\
The only vehicles they use often in the new show is the van (and it's not even used that much.) And a motorcycle. I don't know about Shredder being less scary either. I mean, he was in almost every episode of the old series too, and often came across as pitiful--Splinter was an even match for him by himself, and I recall seeing the turtles kicking shredders butt using pizza ingredients.
In the new show, Shredder rarely gets involved directly, but when he does, he's nasty, and he spends the rest of his time torturing cronies. Plus, he's a friggen alien brain monster, which makes him even more creepy. (But also less appealing, I think)
As for dark vs silly, I agree completely. It makes it very hard to compare the two shows directly, because they're so different in focus. Overall, I find the new show more in line with the comic book, which makes it a little more interesting to me. It's not really a favorite of mine though, I just think it stands out, quality-wise, to a lot of the other newer cartoons.
