I don't expect most of you to remember this especially as it was on quite a long time ago in fact i only really expect the hard core cartoon lovers like mystique and co who liked transformers, mysterious cities of gold and pirates of the dark water and the liketo remember this.
It was called Arthur and the knights of justice. It has taken me about 2 mnths to remember what it was called and so i did a quick google and found this on the subject which saves me from having to explain the basic plot:
Once upon a time, there was a Saturday morning cartoon called King Arthur and the Knights of Justice. The plot was as follows: in the kingdom of Camelot, long ago, the evil sorceress Morgana sealed King Arthur and the knights of the round table away in a cave. The wizard Merlin, apparently getting senile, decided that the best solution to the problem was to travel forward in time and recruit an American high school teenager named Arthur King, and his football team, to fight against Morgana in the real Arthur's stead. Arthur King, being a heroic, handsome young man with Adventurous Spirit and Pluck (tm) took up the task without complaint.
Anyway This program consisted of cool kind of futuristic battles in a kind of medieval setting and various amusing and interesting quest, while all the time trying to liberate the real arthur but never quite suceeding. Althoough it sounds a bit cheesy (and probably was) this was a top notch cartoon of which i can only remember good things. I seem to remember after an a team style talking intro it had quite a cool theme tune and then went into the action which followed the usual action cartoon story lines were there was always an attack by the same evil henchman which was just stopped at the last second by some ingenious or suicidally brave plan. Anyway i think they never suceeded in rescuing arthur unless i missed/forgot the end of the serious, but it was a top programme anyway.
Anyone else remember this TV masterpiece?

At college all we seem to talk about is old cartoons. Was that the one where the badguys were made of vines and stuff? Tell me it was, as I have that memory and it scares me...
Yes, I remember Arthur King, the American sent back in time (or whatever) who just HAPPENED to look like King Arthur, who just HAPPENED to have disappeared. Classic.
Sharky & George still rules though. And Thundercats, The Real Ghostbusters and Bucky O'Haire!

I guess everyone has their favorite old cartoon seris. Mine was MCoG for definite. I bought the enitire seris from somebody selling it on ebay, and I watched it over an extended weekend. I was worried that it would dissapoint me by not living up to my memories, but it didn't at all. Its still great.
I haven't heard of some of the other cartoons your talking about.
Other favorites of mine were Pole position, Ulesses and Jem and the Jets.

In terms of animated series, 'Cowboy Bebop' rules over everything. 26 episodes of pure animated sci-fi/action/adventure/comedy greatness.
