As a female growing up throughout the 1960s, I was quite into them. Tom & Jerry and the Looney Tunes I enjoyed but those Hanna-Barbera cartoons from the 60s and 70s were my absolute favorites. I especially loved the Jetsons, Wacky Races, and the Perils of Penelope Pitstop, Scooby-Doo, and Hong Kong Phooey to name a few.
The cartoons of the 80s? Not much appealed to me.
The cartoons of the 90s? I think this decade had the best ones--2 Stupid Dogs, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls (my #1 favorite), Courage the Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, etc. I loved them all! And no, I did not forget SpongeBob. He is cool, too.
The cartoons of 2000s-present? Only Teen Titans, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, and Camp Lazlo were my favorites. From then on, nothing else was worth watching. In fact, for several years now, I hardly watch TV outside of TBN.
