I don't know that I can vote...I'd have to choose among
Garfield & Friends (the one that begins "we're ready to party," though the "friends are there" one grew on me...never heard it as a kid)
Rescue Rangers
Heathcliff
DuckTales
Muppet Babies
Jem
...with Honorable Mentions for Scooby-Doo, Inspector Gadget, Pink Panther, Popeye, Flintstones, Jetsons, George of the Jungle, Simpsons, TMNT, GI Joe...ugh, there are other strong nominees as well...curse y'all.

Where is the 90s X-Men theme song?
In the trash where everything from Marble belongs.
Miss the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Saturday mornings were the best, back in the 1960's !
I wonder if the people who picked The Archie's realize the theme song for the cartoon was not "Sugar, Sugar". The theme song looked like it was written in five minutes. It was the most popular but if people realized the correct theme, I don't think it would have scored as high. I picked the Flintstones but for those who chose Scooby Doo, I can understand. It was a good theme and actually my second choice.
I chose Scooby Doo. By the way Sugar Sugar was co-written by a Montrealer (Where I've lived all 56+ of my years) named Andy Kim. He has a Christmas Show every Christmas to benefit The Montreal Children's Hospital. He had another hit in the 70s with Rock Me Gently. He has also recorded under the Pseudonym of Baron Longfellow.
The Ramones version of Spiderman
If we're talking about themes from this wide a range, I gotta go with...

You forgot Freakazoid, WHO RUNS AROUND IN UNDERWARE! :P
Globetrotters theme was pretty good.....
HEY!
To all of you people who chose The Archies..."Sugar Sugar" is NOT the theme song! THIS is:

Archie's FunHouse was a far superior theme.

George of the Jungle without a doubt. Underdog and The Jetsons get honorable mentions.
...and the Pink Panther the 😎est.
I wasn't sure if Sugar Sugar was the Archies theme song so I plcked.The flistones.But Sugar Sugar was the best.The year it eas #1 you couldn't get it out of your head.
It's not. The theme is called "Everything's Archie" and is just a "roll call" of the characters. It's cute, but hardly "rockin'".
George of the Jungle: "Watch out for that tree!"
The reason I remember that theme song so well is not because I liked the show that much, but that it aired Saturday mornings on ABC immediately preceding The Beatles cartoon, which I didn't miss for anything.

Jonny Quest
A very unique theme for a cartoon show. They should have had that as a choice.
I got 0% similar. The Jetsons is my favorite cartoon, and The Jetsons theme song is my favorite cartoon theme song.
100% similar, I have never been part of the crowd. I feel so special.
Picked Spiderman, but Jonny Quest theme was the best.
30% I picked The Flintstones but Sugar Sugar from The Archie's was a close second.
I picked Archie's with the Flintstone's being my second.
"Sugar Sugar" was NOT the theme to "The Archies"! The theme was called "Everything's Archie".
