Which animated tv show best represents the 80s?

There are several well-remembered 80s animated shows, but which one do you think best represents the decade? I'd say Jem. Looking back at the show, enjoyable as it was, it totally is like a mirror into the 80s, music videos, synth pop, big hair, lots of colors, and even some sci-fi elements (synergy) and some realism (evil corporate exec eric raymond) all coming together to make a show that couldnt come out any other decade.
 
Even though it spilled deep into the 90's I would have to go ahead and say that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was probably the best show to represent the 80's, but my second pick would have to go to He-Man & The Masters of the Universe due to it's insane popularity that it achieved at the time. It's hard to pick just one show though since so many cartoons and franchises really made a huge mark during that decade, even stuff like The Smurfs, Thundercats, Transformers and G.I Joe could all make a claim at being a good pick for representing the 80's, it's such a tough field to choose from.
