Early 90s Cartoons

Inspired by the 90s pop thread, in a little over a week I'm hosting a weekend retreat-like event for a group I'm involved with. We're a collegiate service organization and our main project this year is PLAY (Promoting Literacy Among Youth) so I thought a good theme would be PLAYground and to make it like when we were in elementary school.

We're going to have a little competition of playground games like Four Square and I thought the teams could be based on cartoon shows/characters from the same time period. We've thought of things like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Captain Planet, Darkwing Duck, Thundercats for some of the older kids, stuff like that.

What other shows do you remember being popular? We need a good list so we can pick teams from there. Anything that could make for a good team name for boys and girls and that we could maybe find good stuff on Google Images so we can decorate team shirts or posters for their section of the lodge would be great.

Thanks so much for any input!

I'm gonna use this thread as an opportunity to ask something that his really been bugging me.

Does anyone remember the cartoon where there was this one character that had a huge cone-like head that he would prop on a stick with wheels at the botton and he wheel it around with himself whenever he walked?

For whatever reason that visual just popped into my head the other day and I asked my friend about it and she knew exactly what I was talking about but neither of us knew what it was from.
Someone tell me before I go nuts!

"Wish Kid" starring Macauley Culkin.

Are we talking Fraggle Rock cartoon or real Fraggle Rock? Real Fraggle Rock was mid-80s. We watched it an many other shows in sydnication. But soo much better than the animinated show. If you use that, it's gotta be the real one.

How could I forget Captain Planet?!

Nice avatar, Adam.

Two times the fun wrapped up and rolled...into one!
