I want to thank CF for making this 36-year-old feel remarkably young with threads like these.

Probably doesn't count, since it's meta, but amusing to mention: The Itchy & Scratchy Show.
Invincible series now three seasons in on Prime is as good as the best anime series and probably the only American comic book hero show to match 90s X-Men.
Speaking of Looney Tunes did people see where Max dropped the LT catalog from their service.

Commentary: 'Looney Tunes' has been removed from Max. This is why it feels like an attack
Max has dropped the original Warner Bros. cartoons from its lineup, which our TV critic says leaves us with the pastiche and is similar to removing books from a library.
Most of these really don't merit a spot, but there were a ton of video game and toy themed cartoons during a certain time span that I watched. Since Atari was pretty new at the time, young Cooler was obsessed with video games
In order of ones I recall liking best to worst
Pac-Man - this was the OG
Dragon's Lair - it was different than anything else at the time
Donkey Kong - DK was my go-to table-top game at Pizza Hut back in the day
Space Ace - space and cartoons, what's not to love
Q-Bert - weird, but I liked the game
Pole Position - crime fighting and car stunts
Pitfall - it felt forced at the time
Rubik the Amazing Cube - really strange and, in hindsight, probably caused a few nightmares

Yes, but no. Other entries are not entered by company. Top Cat was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon, as were The Flintstones, the Jetsons, and Scooby Doo, but each cartoon got its own mention in the list of nominees.
I, too, wonder about that, Looney Tunes being a "combo," but Hanna-Barbera being allowed separate entries.
"The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons" might warrant separate entries mainly for being prime-time cartoons, while other HBs maybe not, althought "Scooby-Doo" seems to have "earned" nostalgic iconic level.
It's something committee will have to consider & establish.
By extention, I'm not sure "Laff-A-Lympics" ought to be included. It's like an all-star game of HB characters. Plus, The Really Rotttens always cheated! (Eventually, I rooted for that team, felt kinda sorry for them).
