The History of TigerSharks: It's Kinda Like Wet Thundercats!

[@billlumburg7594]

It would be incredible to see all three: Thundercats, Silverhawks and Tigersharks in a shared universe series

[@KaneshaAndrews]

Oh that would be cool.

[@jeremyriley1238]

Sadly, it may end up being on that horrendous Thundercats Roar (as one episode had a Silverhawks cameo).

[@jonathanherrera4900]

Thundercats 2011 acknowledge tigersharks, actually . One of the many races under mmunra's slave army.

[@makishepard]

Yes it would indeed.

[@jamelot123]

@@jonathanherrera4900 they acknowledged silverhawks as well i think they showed monstar transforming.

[@kerrygligorovic9758]

I wished that TigerSharks have been released onto complete DVD collection too just like Thundercats and Silverhawks because it deserved to be remembered as well.

[@Deliverthagoodz]

I’ll never forget watching that Thundercats reboot and spotting that quick shot of shark-men along side Mon-Star. That was the day I learned I wasn’t nuts. My friends thought I made up Tigersharks. Great video, guys 🤘🏻😎

ThunderCats: Earth creatures Silverhawks: Sky creatures TigerSharks: Sea creatures They had made Power Rangers Mega Force/Goseiger before it was cool!

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I disagree, Goseiger/Megaforce did it after it was cool.

[@WorldWithOEnd]

My memory came right back when I saw that logo

[@dj-en9yo]

me too, wonder if there are any rips online

[@grystor]

I agree. I've looked all over online and haven't been able to find them, which is a shame cause I definitely missed some episodes when I was young.

[@Ny-kelCameron]

I LOVED Tigersharks!!!!!

[@Transdusk]

I'm so glad you covered this! I loved all 3 shows from this trilogy but had no idea they were connected until now. Now I'm also extremely sad that I got rid of my Mako figure way back in the day. There was definitely a good block of time where I was convinced this show was something my mind made up because no one I ever brought it up to remembered it.

[@DavidOliveriMcGovern]

I must be the weird kid because I liked each iteration better than the prior - Silverhawks more than Thundercats and Tigersharks more than Silverhawks. Toy wise though, SilverHawks was the best.

[@FirstNameLastName-oo1zm]

I was in reverse

[@maguffle]

If I'm being honest... When I was a kid 1) SilverHawks 2) TigerSharks 3) ThunderCats Now 1) SilverHawks 2) ThunderCats 3) TigerSharks The order changed because there's SO LITTLE Tigersharks content that there's nothing to help my fading memory.

[@AntoineJenkins80sChild]

Totally agree!

[@davidsloat1016]

I loved all 3 series... and I DO remember the other shows in the Comic Strip... but TigerSharks was easily the best.

Airing alongside shows called "Karate Kat" and "Street Frogs" probably didn't help win any new viewers.

[@scottandrewhutchins]

I remember all four shows, although my memory of Street Frogs is pretty bad.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@@scottandrewhutchins It's weird I remember this show block distinctly from Sunday mornings back in the 80s but the only show I can't remember at all from then is street frogs. I remember karate kat and I remember tiger sharks (though I admit I'd forgotten the name but I remember the show) But I feel like I never really watched street frogs or maybe I found it boring or something I just can't remember anything about it.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@The J-Walker I mean whoever thought those 3 comedy shows would work together with an action show was way off. Tiger sharks definitely felt like the odd man out.

Props for the Philly57 promo, as that's where I watched a huge chunk of my cartoons growing up.

[@jasonf7110]

Finally! A History Of... that *didn't* trigger some far off latent memory of my apparently spoiled childhood! I think Jayce was the closest before this. Still don't remember the show, but as soon as I saw the metalized wheels and those weird green brain things it all came back to me right along with Starcom, Silverhawks, Centurions, COPS, Bravestarr, Visionaries, etc.

[@burntmarshwigglestudio597]

Thank you for this!!!! I watched this show regularly. They played the TigerSharks on Fridays on my station, and if you were lucky they got randomly thrown in during the rest of the week. I used to pretend to be a TigerShark when I went swimming. For some reason I always wanted to be Walro

+ Great presentation. I remember watching Tiger Sharks in the eighties back in Jamaica. Good memories.

[@josealvarezalvarez7638]

I used to see this series in the Basque Public TV. It was incredible how they change the names of the characters to fit the basque names of the fishes.

[@crowningchristopher8273]

Out of the three shows, I only remember Thundercats. I was never a big fan as I was outgrowing these kind of shows (or so I thought at the time), but my little sister loved it and we watched it together and bonded a little that way. Mumm Ra was a fascinating and compelling villain though. Totally underrated bad guy and saving grace to the show IMO. Mumm Ra, THE EVER LIVING!!! He was so evil and actually terrifying on a level that transcended a kids show.

[@coffeefan841]

It wasn't until the transformations at 1:42 that I remembered watching this show. What I like is learning that this show was on Sunday mornings in Philly, while it was after school for me.

[@nooch27]

That fact that you used The Comic Strip from channel 57 in Philadelphia brought back all kinds of memories when I was a kid watching that on Sundays

In the same solar system. My headcanon has Watero as an undersea kingdom on Third Earth, with the Tigersharks as a Seal Team Six type of special operations group. The Silverhawks are out in the asteroid belt.

[@redblocks8821]

Great content. As a kid, I always thought that they share unviverse with Thundercats and Silverhawks, It's a good thing that it was addressed on TCats reboot. I only watched Tigers harks and Karate Kat on Comic Strip and I thought Garbage Pale Kids was one of them. I really enjoy the nostalgia that you bring to your show.

Tigersharks, aka Thundercats underwater. Man, I loved this show as a kid.

Derivative and gaudy as this whole show is, I got to admit I love the idea. Selfish reasons of course; I have a passing interest in marine sciences, I'm fond of nautical aesthetic and themes, and mermaids are among my favorite fantasy creatures. The whole "Thundercats but they're fish people" just inherently catches my interest.

Thundercats was the first cartoon that really hooked me as a 3-year-old or something, and also the first toyline I ever owned. With that said, I loved the 2011 cartoon and even though I completely missed the TigerSharks reference (mostly because I don't remember them) it makes me wonder *even harder* what they had in store for that then new show. I don't understand how it never found an audience as it was really, really good.

[@HighVelocityStudios]

Because it didn't sell toys. Toy lines are valuable things that make or break a cartoon from being cancelled.

I was excited when I saw you were doing another episode on the TigerSharks! I remember The Comic Strip, and TigerSharks was by far my favourite. I also liked The Snorks, which was kind of like underwater Smurfs. I did enjoy THundercats, I mean that theme song was almost enough to make it worthwhile. And I think Silverhawks was my fave of that trio. I remember wanting that big ship with the pods. I had a couple toys too, which may be more than I can say for the cats or the sharks.

[@jonfoster5685]

You didn't even play the opening, yet I can still hear it in my brain over the opening for Silver Hawks.

I love these videos. All these 80s Toons Facts, I'll never forget watching these back in the 80s. Dan Larson does a Fantastic Job telling the info.

[@IffyJottere]

I loved all three acts of this trilogy, being the supernerd kid that I am, and I often wished Tigersharks would just become it's own series standalone from the Comic Strip. Karate Kat was fun too though. Now who says I don't remember the Comic Strip?!

[@TerrickTerran]

Those two were definitely the best. Camp Minimon was tolerable (though Gravedale High was better) and the Street Frogs just tried too hard while failing miserably.
