Ten 80s Cartoons that only lasted ONE season...wonder why??

[@deemunson2919]

READ DESCRIPTION!! RAMBO is considered to be a one season cartoon... its first ‘season’ had just 5 episodes and the second had 60 totalling 65 episodes.

TVTropes.org has a page about 65-episode cartoons. Apparently it's a arbitrary cutoff point for cartoons with some cartoons taking more seasons to get to that point than others. Cartoons that aired on weekday afternoons would obviously burn through the 65 episodes than those who aired on weekends.

[@19zach75]

I've always said that "Thundarr the Barbarian" was a better series than the "Filmation" He-Man and the MotU was. The single reason that Masters of the Universe was viewed as better, was because the toyline existed before the cartoon did, which meant there were various characters to draw from. Thundarr only had three. I honestly feel that Thundarr deserves a reboot.

[@elbowgrease07]

@@kostajovanovic3711 great question.....I believe it was ground breaking because it had a drama aspect that you just didn't see if cartoons during that time, which were more comical and light...you just didn't see cartoons dealing with slavery, classism, and apocalypse themes, at least not in the US....it had a focus in story telling along with great pacing and story telling that in my opinion as well

There's no comparison, the games did it better.

Correct. Inhumanoids were one of the most expensive toys on market. Toys that were not big sellers, the cartoon was AXED!

[@spacelinx]

The toy lines for Visionaries and Centurions were pretty cool. I don’t know what their price points were though. I was a kid then and price wasn’t on my mind at that age. The series were probably about as cliche as any other 80s series of the time. The main thing that made or broke a toy line was the price point of the toys and quality of the series. There was a lot of competition back then to have the coolest series and the coolest toys. The toy Mark’s are now so consolidated there’s not much variety to choose from and I think that’s the biggest shame now.

@@gabrielspradlin1594 I've always considered statements like the above to be examples of the "backhanded" school of compliments. If a cartoon that was "way ahead of it's [sic] time" was also "stellar for the era"...well, that doesn't flatter the "not stellar" cartoons of that time, does it? And it doesn't bode well for a show to be merely better than shows that are mediocre to awful ("having one eye in the kingdom of the blind"). Kind of like saying, "America isn't perfect, but it's still the greatest country on earth." So does that make all the other countries grotesquely flawed?

The first one i was thinking about was Blackstar, only 13 episodes - then we have Bravestarr, 1 season but 65 episodes; May not count as it could have been divided into multiple seasons.

[@CaptainAndy]

Something I liked about 'BraveStarr' was that it was a bit dirtier and rougher than 'He-man'. For example when they did a storyline about drugs, the drugs were actual proper drugs, not some kind of magic potion that served as an analogue for drugs... and the kid frickin' died!!!!! They actually had the courage to genuinely traumatise kids into not taking drugs by presenting them with a dead drug addict. That's hardcore.

[@alanguages]

@@CaptainAndy Bravestarr was definitely grittier. I liked He-Man better, due to actually seeing the series first, but Bravestarr had way better animation. It was the tail end of certain cartoons at that time, and many were not doing well. Bravestarr was still a gem though.

[@texasbeast239]

I think Blackstarr was cancelled because the studio producing it, Filmation, caught wind of the He-Man franchise and decided to pursue that instead. Filmation probably knew the similarities would be obvious, so they wanted to avoid confusion by having Blackstarr continue right up until He-Man came out on TV. Blackstarr aired in late 1981, which is the same time when the first wave of He-Man action figures and mini-comics were released. DC released more mini-comics with the second wave of He-Man figures in 1982. And the Filmation He-Man cartoon bible was written in December, 1982, for a 1983 production schedule.
