The 1970's Super Friends . In this series lame one dimensional superheroes, pathetically stupid villains with equally stupid names and a complete lack of good writing and story telling. And don't get me stared on the cartoon travoises that were Mavin, Wendy, Wonder Dog in his little cape and The Wonder Twins Sam and Janna and their obnoxious pet monkey Gleek. 
The Partridge Family 2200 AD . Takes the 1970's partridge family and puts them a setting similar to the Jetsons. But with none of the smart writing of the Jetsons.
Farthing Wood.
Not that it's a bad story line, and the series was done well...but it was pretty intense and had non-pleasant real life endings within the series that I wouldn't want a young child of my own watching, most notably when Mr. Pheasant notices Mrs. Pheasant is missing, goes to find her, and sees his wife plucked and cooked and a family eating her, then gets shot himself. I mean...dang.
When I mention FW I can't help but mention Watership Down...both FW and WD were EXCELLENT (though a bit disturbing at times) novels but done for the screen was a bit much, especially in cartoon format which is going to usually attract young viewers. There was a pretty grisly animated death/bloody scene in WD.
If you want nightmares, watch Plague Dogs (animated movie.) My God. Much sad...

This is so bad it's good! I loved this show as a kid (guilty: I still kinda do.) It's just so darned cheesy, and takes me back to a time when everything was like, totally rad, man!
The Robonic Stooges This piece of cartoon crap ran for about 2 season 1977 to 78 and was one many low points of Saturday morning Cartoons.
....anything Anime....just don't get it or get the appeal.....meh...
Has anyone here had the misfortune of seeing the Pacman animated tv series they did back in the 1980's ?
Sealab 2020 was probably intended to be educational. This is one of the most boring animated tv shows I've ever seen. Its one saving grace is out of it we got the hilariously funny spoof Sealab 2021.

Hong Kong Phooey , Henry the mild mannered janitor who world at the police department is in secret Hong Kong Phooey the bumbling crime fighter who without the timely intervention of his trusty cat sidekick , would never gets his man. Not a very good tv show.

Me neither. I do however admire greatly the amazing art involved. I've just never gotten into the stories or plots or whatever.

Thank you! I always thought I was the only one on the planet that didn't like anime.
Also, I never liked Pokemon. Thought it was stupid.
My nephew also made me watch Adventure Time once. That sh*t won't be happening again.
Family Guy - not a fan of the overuse of segues. Plus, apart from the baby and alcoholic dog, that show just ain't funny.
The characters are not in the least likable.
