You have Bewitched, She-Ra, and Sailor Moon. All of these were totally mainstream amongst western audiences.

Cultural difference compared to 80+ years ago and now. Back then you had all sorts of "goofy" characters and some of them managed to become icons now and that's why super heroes are more easily accepted.
