80s kid here, so it's a fairly big list (it would have been even bigger if I had gotten cable before 1990):
CARTOONS
The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour
G.I. Joe (Sunbow run only)
The Transformers
He-Man (Filmation run only)
Dungeons & Dragons
Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends
The Incredible Hulk ('82 run)
Muppet Babies
Garfield & Friends
The Real Ghostbusters
Dangermouse
Count Duckula
Fat Albert
Jem
The Visionaries
The Inhumanoids
Super Friends (with a preference for Challenge and Galactic Guardians)
Scooby-Doo (again, preferring the first Scrappy season and before, as well as 13 Ghosts)
Mysterious Cities of Gold
Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea
The Bullwinkle Show
Underdog
Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle
The Lone Ranger (the short-lived Filmation version)
Inspector Gadget
Pole Position
Galaxy High School
Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures
Kidd Video
DuckTales
Gummi Bears
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (Zelda segments only)
Voltron
LIVE ACTION
You Can't Do That On Television
The Great Space Coaster
The Muppet Show
Batman
Land of the Lost (the original, for the hot minute that CBS reran it)
Pee-wee's Playhouse
The Dukes of Hazzard
Star Trek
Newhart (it was practically an institution in Vermont)
For all its warts, the DVD era has allowed me to actually catch up with shows I missed for various reasons, including:
Doctor Who (I was repelled by the continuity, and not seeing episodes in order, probably due to listings and ads mentioning the number of the Doctor in them)
Robotech (same fears, confirmed by the ads, to be sure)
She-Ra (never aired in Vermont)
Thundarr the Barbarian (scheduling conflicts, plus piss-poor promoting by NBC)
The Centurions (never aired in Vermont)
Defenders of the Earth (scheduling conflicts, I think)
Flash Gordon (off the air by the time I was watching Saturday morning cartoons)
Ghostbusters (the Filmation one-never aired in Vermont, but it was known of
Jonny Quest (scheduling conflicts, plus an aversion that I can't recall the reasons for)
Now, who's going to start the topic of shows you liked then, but now loathe, or the sows you just plain hate and always have?
