True fans never forgot about TigerSharks. I still remember playing with the toys too. Remember all of those cartoons. I want the whole group on blu-ray now.

[@redanime38]

Yeah . Tiger sharks was in the bargain bin. That's why you had them.

Yeah well that may be but no one I knew like them

TigerSharks was THE reason I tuned in every week!

[@The_Word_Is_The_Way]

When you come to think of it, there could have been a Thundercats/Silver Hawks/Tigersharks crossover since all involved space travel. Thanks for covering this. The nostalgia is priceless.

[@redanime38]

They were all in the newer 2012 thundercats. Mumra had them all captured

[@redanime38]

...... yeah ok ... I know that. What's that have to do with the conversation or my comment?

[@getonthelist5620]

There was a Silverhawks/Thundercats crossover. Tigersharks missed out; because they came late to the party and barely had time to settle in.

[@brotherdandy]

The Tigersharks are featured as a captured species in the 2011 Thundercats. When Mum-Ra leads Lion-O’s ancestor through his ship you see the Tigersharks swimming in a tank behind them.

[@waterisgreat2864]

brotherdandy dude that is a good observation and also is the thundercats 2011 series worth watching?

"Transforms into a living walrus." Because other walruses are undead.

Rankin Bass Hobbit was AMAZING!

[@karmabum21]

it scared the crap out of me as a kid but it was good

[@raymanjohan8838]

is that the one where the hobbit gets his finger bit off

[@steelman774]

No. The Hobbit had Bilbo tricking Smaug the dragon at the end. The Lord of the Rings had Frodo getting his finger bitten off by Gollum. 🎼”Frodo of the nine fingers... and the ring of doom.” Grand songs like that and “Where there’s a whip (cracking sound) There’s a way!” by the marching orc army.

[@melissacooper4482]

I liked the animated movie better then the live action trilogy. The animated version was closer to the book.

[@ringoharris8678]

Being a kid in the 80's was awesome. All these cartoons were awesome.

[@Egganopolis82]

You guys should do Galaxy Ranger's. That show was ahead of its time and deserves some credit for what it achieved. If any of the old 80's show deserves a remake, it's this one.

[@geardog24]

12:54 Dragonstein sounds like a metal band name. Awesome.

[@carlytto25]

Mako was my favorite. One of the rare times I was a fan of the lead character.

[@garthdavis2502]

This was part of The Comic Strip. I miss this series.

[@RimVader]

Me too, Street Frog and Karate Cat I remember.

[@freddyvidz]

So, Bizarrely wasn't T-Ray's henchman, but led his own crew and you did not mention them all. You also forgot the two bumblers Carp & Wall-Eye, I believe. Someone else already mentioned the strong men in the 3 series.

[@sydneystroud4397]

The Mini Monsters premise was done to death in the 80s. ..the Drak Pack, Rick Moranis at Gravedale High, and Scooby Doo and the Ghoul School.

[@kylesmith5153]

Oh god! I remember this show! But only ever so slightly. I was born in 86 and caught this somewhere on TV as a wee kid. But I never got the name. Thank you for making this!!

[@thebrownbaldy]

Hyper-masculine lead Male characters would be considered "toxic" nowadays. God, I miss 80s cartoons..... Too bad we never got a Thundercats/TigerSharks/Silverhawks crossover

[@IncHulkLover]

That would've been SO awesome!!

[@damejohn25]

You guys should do visionaries next. Lot of people don't remember it

[@wesman6445]

I remember the toy line more than the show

[@marclewis5505]

Yo I do.

[@Magnus1718]

Is that the cartoon and toy line that featured a lot of holograms. I think the holograms would deploy from their cheats.

[@pauldesigncomics2625]

Saw a KZbin video about the cartoon. Was amazed how many guys could recite the spells which activated their totems. “Three suns aligned, pour forth their light, and fill this archer’s bow with might!”.

[@gregorywesley7456]

Hell yeah!!!! Loved it!!!!! I wish they made a cartoon for "Battle Beasts"! The toys were sweet, and had cool commercials! Late 80's were the end if the Saturday Morning cartoon/Action Figures era!!!!

[@GangstaMojo]

Mako was not the leader, Octavia was the Captain

[@MegaGearX]

King Mojo Nice! Someone else who actually watched the show!

[@pinkknight9]

And Mako often refered Octavia as Captain.

[@thomasfulmer9638]

Perhaps she was, but she deferred to Mako and always followed his lead

[@marvelboy74]

I viewed Mako as the field leader while Octavia's duty was to the ship. Funny thing is when I watched Star Wars: Rebels, Hera reminded me of Octavia.

[@getonthelist5620]

They had that whole Riker/Picard vibe where the leader had enough confidence in their crew to delegate tasks.

[@damontjordan4167]

Review Galaxy Rangers. It was another 80's cartoon.

If only a crossover with all three Rankin/Bass titles were created. DC Comics has the rights to Thundercats... I wonder if they have the rights to Tigersharks and Silverhawks?

On point as always

[@thedarkknightman6150]

They should, the sliverhawks DVD is by Warner Brothers.

[@Drayton42677]

BoBiggHHB 3 you know I try...

[@hitdawg64]

There was going to be a spin off series in 1990 after Thundercats ended. It was called Thunderforce and was supposed to be a crossover between all 3 shows. They went so far as making new figures but Rankin Bass was bought by Warner and the plans were scuttled.

[@Mastermind8908]

@@hitdawg64 At least Rankin Bass wasn't bought by Disney.

[@WoodinatorDesigns]

That Street Frogs theme song though! “Who can do hip hop better than a frog can? Street frogs, street frogs!”

[@scotthintze5901]

I remember that show back in 1987. Karate Kat is my favorite show. It's like James Bond meets Morris the cat show. I still have all the episodes recorded in 1987 and still enjoying it. I would like to see you do one on Biker Mice from Mars, Bucky O' Hare and anime shows(Speed Racer, Starblazers, Sailor Moon, etc.)

Well land, sea, and air are covered. The 80's thank you. If only we could get a release of tigersharks.

[@Leo-iZ177]

@@Leo-iZ177 nope, I meant a retail release for tigersharks. As the show was aired in an anthology series a solo release of the show has never been officially licensed.

You guys need to do one of these on The Pirates of Dark Water. That was the greatest show ever. Oh and the Centurions.

[@paxhumana2015]

While I don't think that The Pirates of Dark Water was the greatest cartoon ever, I DO agree that it, as well as Thundarr the Barbarian were HUGELY underrated, as well as were cancelled well before they should have been cancelled.

[@alexthomas5838]

10:25 On Thundercats, if I remember correctly, aside from above-average strength (which I would expect from any human-animal hybrid) Chetaria was the only one with a true superpower (super speed) because all the rest of them had to use a weapon or piece of equipment to use their abilities.

[@void405]

Lynxo had some kind of psychic ability if I remember correctly. It was like Toph's sisemic sense in Avatar the Last Airbender.

[@rdphoenix07]

Actually, Tygra had a power, too. He could generate realistic looking illusions using his mind, which he used to test Lion-O during his trials to become lord of the Thundercats. Panthro explains that it takes a lot out of Tygra to use such power, so he rarely uses it.

[@ricardoredway]

TYGRA HAD MIND POWERS

[@chrisj2991]

More Tigersharks facts: some episodes are still missing. Only 11 of the 26 produced are available on the grey market. The complete series is now owned by Warner and they DO have it in their archive, last time I asked they said they had no plans on releasing it on its own or a complete "The Comic Strip" set. The Tigersharks action figures are some of the rarest 80s toys and individual figures sell for $200-800, thats loose too, not sealed on the card still.

[@MGmirkin]

This makes me feel old.

Tigersharks cartoon didn't the impact and popularity as ThunderCats and Silver Hawks. No Tigersharks toys were ever produced sadly nor do i remember was a comic book (i could be wrong) at the time.

How about doing Bravestarr? If you haven't already. and yes I remember Tigersharks I actually liked the show people who use a special tank to turn themselves into sea creatures. What's unique is that the creatures they turn into is based off their names like Mako turns into a humanoid version of the Mako shark, Angel becomes a humanoid angel fish, Walro a walrus. Also Dolph is Irish.

From what I recall, Captain Bizarrely and his crew (the two crewmen whom you forgot to mention were Long John Silverfish and Spike Marlin) were villains indigenous to Water-o, and were imprisoned by the Waterian in Seaberia until the Mantanas came and freed them (the two Mantanas whom you forgot to mention were Carper and Weakfish). I think that my favorite was Walleye (Mr. "Google-y Eyes").

[@woulddragon]

One thing that I'd forgotten to mention was how I wished that Rankin-Bass maybe could have combined the SilverHawks and TigerSharks onto a "group" DVD(hint,hint, hint to whatever is left of the Rankin-Bass Company?).

[@aaroncoffman88]

Did like this show. Thought it was amusing that their big bad leader Mako was worthless on land when transformed because as a shark he couldn't breathe out of water but Dolph, Lorca, and Walro could stay underwater for seeming hours before running out of air
