Respect to @OorWullie for referencing one of my favourite shows in the Eighties, Dungeons and Dragons. It had a really bleak feel, like you thought the kids would never make it home.
Also was a big fan of Batman: The Animated Series, with Danny Elfman's music, and Gargoyles, which I reckon still holds up fairly well today - at least, the first half does.
Here's one I've not seen mentioned yet - I thought this was amazing back in the early Nineties, but it vanished into a whirlpool.
Here are my favourites! All of these are very well known. Some intro's are from recent cartoons, I'm a cartoon enthousiast old and new. For now I'm limiting myself to 5 intro's, I don't want to clock this thread.
@OorWullie You have a few of my picks there, so I probably don't want to repeat any videos, but I have fond memories of some of those - namely, Family Ness and Raggy Dolls.
But above all, my favourite show when I was young was Dogtanian. My mum would always tell me when it came on, and I think, as young as I was, I probably fancied Juliette.
@HobbitGamer shared Bucky O'Hare too, which was another of my faves.
So here's a few more of my favourites:
The Raccoons - the end sequence with the music number (run with us) was particularly memorable too.
Penny Crayon - same creator as Family Ness.
Galaxy High - something I've just learned, like many other videos you've seen in this thread, a Western/Japanese co-production.
Fireman Sam - a stopmotion animation, and not technically a "cartoon", but Britain was really big on stopmotion during this period, and it's opening is very parochial. I love the theme song.
Around the World with Willy Fog - memorable to me, much like Dogtanian (same Spanish/Japanese production too)
You've done a pretty good job at posting most of the ones I would bother to mention, but as I don't see any of you have posted the following, I have to wonder what you guys have been doing with your lives
This last one wasn't a cartoon I guess, and while I remember it, I think I was a bit young to actually feel like it was part of my childhood, but the theme tune has a unique nostalgic power over me:
And this has a special place in my heart:
And I actually have the first series of this last one on my phone, ready to whip out at a moment's notice:
You guys had me at blood and semen.

I watched many cartoons when I was younger, but I didn't always see the last episode so I'm still catching up...
But anyway here were some of my favourites from my childhood -

I almost posted Avatar: The Last Airbender before, but I figured that last post of mine contained enough videos for the time being. XD But HOW did I forget about X-Men? I liked the show, and some purists will hate me for this, but X-Men: Evolution also has a special place in my heart:
In further reference to 90's shows and the current time of year, there was also this (though I haven't seen a lot of the episodes until recently as I didn't have normal access to it):
My main PBS show, which I will still admittedly watch once in a blue moon ( ):
Another PBS show that I'm sure most of us have watched:
One of the oodles of Saturday morning Disney shows I would watch:
Still count as my youth, just my slightly older youth. First one is a great song about a 4-ply diaper with great use of the line "I don't know another word... that's so specific!"

@shaneoh I agree the characters did have a little more depth, but I disagree with the writing in general - what Gen One lacked in character depth it more than made up for in world building. We might have to agree to disagree as we both grew up with different series (so we might be a little biased).
I think we can both agree that the Gen One crossover content was pretty awesome & the best thing is that it wasn't originally planned! The writers changed the planet TO prehistoric Earth to help with ratings.
