| | | | Thunder Cats ***?
Sign in to disble this ad
On Friday cartoon network will be airing a New series Thunder cats. So the they started to air the original series in preparation. I being fourteen dont watch CN much these days mostly with my four year old sister in a brainwashing attempt to nerdism. Occasionally to catch star wars which is a shame to the series and has been going down hill. So the old stuff come on and my little sister can't get enough of it. I was immediately turned off by the names, liono, tigra wilykit etc... Cheetara ; ) But seriously she loves this over the HD batman brave and the bold, pokemon etc. So *** is the original appeal of this. Was it really all that back when it was new...? Does it get better. Was all animation this bad in the 80s?????? |

| | | | So that means that there's been a conspiracy for years to over hype it so they can bring it back to make millions |

That being said, I thought Thundercats was cool when I was a kid. As the series went on they introduced a lot more supporting characters and expanded the universe beyond the one planet. The new one looks to be pretty cool, and they have a ton of source material to work with. |

I have seen alot of the old GI Joe and every episode of transformer Ever made not including the newer stuff. Didn't think they were to bad but yet again I wasn't watching them on 55 inches and having HD commercials coming on to make it look worst |

Wasn't around for the original airings, but as a kid in the early to mid nineties and watching the re-runs, I loved the show, along with the old Hanna-Barbera action shows like the Herculoids, Johnny Quest and Thundarr the Barbarian, to other shows like Voltron and Silverhawks.
What happened Cartoon Network? You used to be cool...

| Sorry about your dad. Guess my kids got lucky cartoon-wise. Or maybe I got lucky that my kids like what I choose to squander my money on :-)
