Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987)

Pizza jokes, surfer slang and four brothers with clearly drawn personalities: the 1987 Turtles is the goofiest show on this list, and that is why it still works. The bickering between Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo lands better than the fights, and Shredder and Krang make a gloriously incompetent double act. It ran from December 1987 until 1996, far longer than its quality held. The early seasons are the ones to watch; by the end, the energy has gone.
