I picked up a bootleg*cough* DVD set of Bionic Six at a comic con, then resisted watching it because I remembered the show as being really cool and was certain that re-watching it would reveal that it was actually crap. When I finally did watch an episode, it turned out...to be pretty good.
Inhumanoids, though, sucked. Despite being the closest '80s Saturday morning cartoons got to H. P. Lovecraft, it was terrible.
It's funny that, when I think about it, I can barely remember any of the plot elements of some cartoons I know I watched religiously. Like Transformers. Autobots & Optimus Prime good, Decepticons & Megatron bad, Starscream was always trying to usurp Megatron and failing, Soundwave had a cool vocoder voice. When I look up stuff on TFWiki (blame David Willis) I'm always finding things that were important that I don't remember at all. Like Blackrock, an oil company that was allied with the Autobots, was apparently a big deal. No recollection whatsoever.
Not all though. I have large swathes of Robotech memorized. But that had an actual continuing story (and I re-watched it years after it was off the airwaves)
