Inspired by disgustip8ed's cartoon post, I'm curious; How many Cartoon's can you remember that were Rip-Off's and bad copies of other cartoons?

The two most obvious

The Car Voltron
The Go-Bots

(And yes this post by its very nature is a bad copy/rip off)

Battle For the Planet -> Voltron (tigers) -> Power Rangers.

Honeymooners -> Flintstones -> those two mice

Tom & Jerry -> Itchy & Scratchy

Amos & Andy -> Heckyl & Jeckyl

Captain Planet... -> Ambiguis Gay Duo

Beavis & Butthead -> Terrance & Philip

Star Blazers -> Star Wars (New Hope) -> Babylon 5: Excalibur

If you include ALL TV shows:

Mutant-X : Really bad cross between X-men and Dark Angel
Friends : Half the sitcoms on TV
Seinfeld : the other half of sitcoms on TV

I think you need to differentiate between rip-offs & copies as opposed to parodies or satires. Terrance & Phillip are parodies of Beavis & Butthead and the other shock value cartoons kids watch. It's not a rip-off, it's a mocking.

Go-Bots actually predated Transformers. They did suck, though...

And, not really a ripoff, but how about Ren & Stimpy after John K. left? Nick took the best cartoon of the time, and made a total mockery of it. Awful!

The Thundercats was sort of a rip-off of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
For some reason I always felt like the Snorks was the Smurfs underwater.

While they looked alike, Iron Giant was actually a book written in the 50's about the cold war, and pre-dates Gigantor.

I don't know if these count here, (or if they are more like jump the sharks)
Scrappy Doo
Flinstone kids
