In "now you feel old" news, Thudercats celebrated their 30th anniversary a couple of days ago. the characters were created by Theodore Walter "Tobin" Wolf back in 1981, but the show was released in 1985, January 23th to be precise.
I loved the show as a kid, but as an adult I'm more critical about certain aspects ofit, the animation quality is really questionable in some episodes (the intro is still top notch), the morals look forced at times (just look at the drugs PSA episode "The garden of delights") and yes some characters were just created to sell toys, but overalls is still one of the top animated series from my childhood. On a much higher tier than G.I. Joe and He-man
And of course we had comics, the first ones were released by the defunct company "Star comics" in 1985, Star was a subdivision of Marvel and published the Thundercats comics for 3 years, it wasn't anything special. In 2002 Wildstorm published new Thundercats comics, this time focused on mature stories that were more faithful to the original story, the art was great and the stories were quite good too, but there was a particular mini-series that to this day is controversial for both fans and comic book readers, "Thundercats: The Return", this picture pretty much tells the whole thing.
In 2011 Thundercats received another chance, after all we got a reboot of He-Man in 2002, G.I. Joe in 2004 and MLP in 2010. The show was focused more on Thundera as a city in the Third Planet and despite its faults it was a pretty good show that lasted 1 season and 26 episodes. And that's all, we won't see more of this show for a long time due low ratings and awful sales on toys.

The original show run for 4 seasons and had 130 episodes (including the pilot), the show was special for many reasons, it had a legimite end, It included a visually impaired character, and the characters didn't bother to wear clothes at the beginning
