All three of those were big for me.
Looney Tunes was HUGE for me. I quote them possibly every day. It was one of those things where I tended to memorize the credits so I could tell a Bob Clampett short from a Friz Freleng from a Chuck Jones from a Bob McKimson from a Tex Avery. As they were aimed at adults, there's a lot more to them than, say, those series that were based on toys. I vote that Looney Tunes gets its own entry if anyone else was into them.
Looney tunes were cornerstone in my Saturday mornings until they kind of just vanished from TV, but calling it an 80's cartoon is a bit strange, since they are mostly from 1930-1969, so I vote Looney Tunes gets its own entry.
In a similar vein (and time-warp), I watched a lot of Flintstones, Jetsons, and Tom & Jerry.
I never could stand He-Man or Transformers, but I did watch ThunderCats occassionally.
I didn't mean to imply I think Looney Tunes is an 80s cartoon. I meant, as an aside, Looney Tunes was a large influence on me.
Added!
I feel like we should combine 80s cartoons into one listing.
Honestly, I'm probably influenced by a ton of different cartoons much more heavily than I realize. For instance, I'm not sure I even know how much Looney Tunes has influenced me.
