But ThunderCats wasn’t like other cartoons at the time and the show’s writers just couldn’t get that crazy train rolling down the tracks fast enough. When it comes to crappy/weird episodes rearing their ugly heads, it usually doesn’t happen until mid-season, with early episodes being hailed as instant classics. So (with Panthro’s permission) fire up the ThunderTank and run down 10 ThunderCats episodes so bad it proves the Ancient Spirits of Evil exist. But remember: with any daily ’80s cartoon weighing in at a whopping 65 episodes or more per season, you’re bound to run across a stinker or two that leave you scratching your head in confusion well after the credits roll, or cause you to snap your plastic Sword of Omens in half in a fit of blind geek rage. While some episodes are veritable poetry in motion, a few are indicative of the possibility that one writer jotted down some half-assed ideas on a Panda Express napkin right before a post-lunch creative meeting. Until that day finally arrives, though, we’re all going to have to keep ourselves occupied, and when it comes to a reboot of a classic ’80s cartoon there’s no better way to do so than by watching a back-to-back marathon of the original, as-God-intended series thanks to DVD box sets.īut maybe after the fourth or fifth episode of your favorite ’80s cartoon, you may notice that the plot lines of some episodes in particular are a bit… lacking where creativity and overall quality are concerned. ?With the three-part episode premiere of the new ThunderCats cartoon hitting Cartoon Network this July, fans everywhere wait with bated breath to see if the beloved series will come roaring back into the public imagination… or get put down prematurely and quickly replaced by reruns of Johnny Test.
