Fun Fact: Chuck Norris's cartoon was actually a documentary on a day and a life of Chuck Norris. Everything he did in the cartoon was just toned down version of what he did in real life.
The weak skinny he- man knock off damn just like that forgot the name lose that...def bring back inhumaniods jace and the wheeled warriors at least deserves two part movie finale seen worse...
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. Most don’t consider that first mini series to be a season. And yes I accidentally said ‘has a hand for a claw’ instead of ‘has a claw for a hand’, 😂 lol very sorry everyone!!
I do remember Dinosaucers very well but I don't really enjoy it very much well because I loved dinosaurs with intelligence and live in a different planet.
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.
@@jadenquest9544 Nah, man. That shit's more expensive thanks to better technology and improved means of animating, including better animation cels for those other shows. Anime is even more expensive than ever.
Agreed. I was gutted they never finished the quest... especially seeing as there were several episodes that didn't feature a treasure, which if they had they could have completed the quest.
@@sneakergenuis3963 Supposedly the script for the final episode exists somewhere, written by J. Michael Straczynski. Apparently it would have involved the current Lightning League finding the original Lightning League and being trained by them to defeat SawBoss.
I have a box with little things from my childhood and in the box is a travel toothbrush that I never used because it was SilverHawks and I didn't want to ruin it.
Rambo had 65 episodes in a matter of 3 or 4 months? That's crazy. I do remember watching that cartoon before school as a kid. The montage of him getting geared up for battle in every episode was the best.
Loved M.A.S.K.! I must've had half the damned collection. The semi with the battering ram/grille. The motocycle/helicopter one, or that awesome '57 Chevy that turns into a tank. With a decent script, that could make a pretty cool live-action movie.
It was about a season and a 1/2, the called it 2 seasons. Found a paperback book by the same title Thundar Nan of 2 Worlds, with many similar plot elements in a thrift store years later. It was published in 1971 by John Bloodstone....
Well thing probably was cops in USA made Karate 1990 open fist it means and everything is haymakers all in means a tap for counterpunch is 700% more effective should be closed fist but Roman Greko most effective but almost every move can be fatal
The 1st Thundar episode has a poster in the background of Rocky VIII or 9, which is a good guess only being 1980 and only 2 Rocky movies were made at the time.
Dinosaucers brings back great memories of my childhood. Back when kids actually acted like kids and watched cartoons with some substance. It's probably one of the most underrated cartoons of all time. I've been trying to find the DVD set for yrs.
Yeah but I remember some cartoons used to have multiple stories in each half-hour show. So my guess is that they are counting those 10 to 15 minute segments as an individual episode.
Those shows with 65 episodes were on daily. Usually in the afternoon after school had let out. The reason for the 65 number is that networks want a show to have enough episodes to cover being shown five days a week for 13 weeks.
That sort of thing has happened in every era. German fairy tales, for example. They didn't call them the Brothers "Grimm" for nothing, heh-heh! And there's some surprisingly edgy content in Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn books...such as when the boys form a gang and outright talk about robbing and murdering (which they never actually do, of course), and one of the boys is traumatized by that idea so they call him a crybaby. Not to mention that you never know what's going to frighten a kid. I was tormented by a few Disney cartoons!
They aired the episodes every weekday as opposed to most current shows that only air one per week. Also it was a syndicated show so they order entire seasons at one time.
Inhumanoids was one of my favorites I hope it gets a reboot sometime it would fit in perfectly in this time frame I had all the toys also it was great growing up in the 80s

80's cartoons had rock themes that could make a cartoon about an old man going to the bathroom epic. "Can one man unleash a power that can stop the constipation monster? He seeks the great bean for only by devouring it can he be free to find a good place to nap. "
Thundarr the Barbarian.....though you could say it was "technically" 2 seasons, show was ground breaking and way ahead of it's time and subject matter....all-time fave and glad i have the series in my collection!
@@edkeaton1085 nice!!!.....for me, I always likened Thundarr as the foundation for He-Man because there were a lot of hidden similarities when you really watch them together
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.
@@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
LOL the suit up was hilarious. I didn't know back when I was a kid Filmation's Ghostbusters was the Original and The Real Ghostbusters was the remake. Both were good cartoons as I liked the Abbott and Costello vibe of Filmation's Ghostbusters and the music score. And who doesn't like The Real Ghostbusters?
@@funnypicturescomics Yup The 90s was the period when cartoons began to take on darker storylines and more adult themes. Unfortunately many have abandoned that concept out of fear of the SJW overlords.
Show wasn’t that bad. They played the tunes from the actual game and featured enemies from the game, just like the Super Mario Brothers Supershow. TLZ characters even had cameo appearances on Captain N The Game Master , featuring the same voice actors and a visual upgrade.
So, story about the wuzzles. My gf loved the show as a child, and to this day I've never seen one. But her mom, whom is no longer with us, bought her a Wuzzle stuffed animal when she was a child. She carried Rhinokey with her everywhere until it was lost in a move to Alaska. On hearing the story, I found one in perfect condition for her online...no wear and tear, no smoke damage...and bought it for her. She cried like a baby in pure happiness and I've been riding the wave of that one good act for some time now.
You know I'm gonna say Bravestarr but I also loved the the one seasons of • Tigersharks • Robocop • Silverhawks • Defenders of the Earth • Ulysses 31 • Mighty Orbots • The Galaxy Rangers • Pole Position • Saber Rider and the Star. Sheriffs And I have to admit all the shows with the one seasons back in the 80s actually had probably the best intros Jayce and the wheeled Warriors was my favourite intro
No it wasn't , the style was good and main idea had potential, but the plot was awful so cliché, I mean jayce was looking for his father and that was all.

My friends and I always looked forward to Fridays after school because the Super Mario Bros Super Show aired The Legend of Zelda cartoon instead of Mario. Also, Mighty Orbots definitely would make my list!
Good ole Rambo haha . Laura you truly are an absolute Legendary babe!!!😉 Love this channel , so damn good . I still have my Rambo action figure from this toon lol ....he been through some wars .
My favorite retrospective description of Inhuminoids: "A Red horned monster that spits lava and rules an underground kingdom of fire and suffering, yeah, in other words HELL."
Introduced my boy to jayce when he was 5. One of his favorites. It's sad that I have to look for classics just to find cartoons worth watching with my kids. Most of the shows nowadays are just crap.no script. no Character development. just crap.
@@fuckgoogle8857 I do the same thing. I'm 45 and bought the Wheeled Warriors dvd for my son about 5 years ago when he was 4. I've bought other 80's cartoons too.
I really miss the Zelda cartoon. Given it had the job of adapting games made before the franchise's mythology was hammered out, it managed to be fun and accurate for the time.
This cartoon taught me that Link was not Zelda and that the game was named after the princess. It wasn't a problem with me. In fact "Excuse me princess," stood for me. I enjoyed the teenage flirting that he had with her.
I totally agree! Chuck Norris is terrible. Just...really awful. If I was a cartoon of him, I would totally cancel myself by kicking Walk-HER Tex-ASS RANGER right in his stupid cartoon beard! He's like a hundred and sixty years old and Bruce Lee's wife keeps Chuck's testes in her purse! Crap-cartoon-cancel-KICK! HI-YAH!
Rofl Norris is nothing nowadays, he spends most of his time going school to school, state to state with his wife talking about some story book and some fictional guy with a beard who likes to sit on clouds 😂

@@leroylawrence267 They were very long seasons that would never see the light of the day now. Some ran 70-80 episodes before they finally finished a single season.
I just discovered your channel as this popped up in my recommend suggestion. This is an awesome video and I'm definitely subscribing. Stay awesome ;-).
Despite only being one Season, at least some of these shows mentioned received 65 episodes instead of what was normally 13 episodes. I remember two cartoons that only had 5 episodes to their series. One was a Swamp Thing Cartoon (where the DVD for that show could easily run you over $50.00, currently going for $69.95 on Amazon) and the other Cartoon was Freedom Force (which was complied with Space Sentinels). I know you mentioned Chuck Norris Karate Kommando's, which also only had 5 episodes. It makes you wonder why they pull the plug on a show so quickly.
The Pirates of Dark Water should have never been canceled. It was one of my favorites. What happened to Ren? Did he defeat the dark water with all 7 treasures of Rul? It stopped before the finale and the pirate Bloth was defeated along with the bad water demon.
Found it at a Marc's store, it's a local store here in Cleveland, similar to Target, but it has a closeout section. That's where I found it. I think it was 3 dollars.

I'm 37 and I work in China. I was talking 80's cartoon nostalgia with a Canadian colleague, when our Chinese boss - who hardly speaks any English - chimed in about his love for Bravestarr when he was growing up. He could (approximately) sing the theme song & everything. And that blew my mind, somehow.
Oh. My. God. You just brought back tons of memories of being a kid. At the time i never realized they'd just been one season. Man those were good toons. I LOVED centurions.. POWER EXTREME!!
Legend of Zelda should have been more than one season The "EXCUSE ME PRINCESS" was funny. Inhumaniods was a great show whoever cancelled it should DECOMPOSE
I didn’t remember Link being so annoying. I probably copied Link’s catch phrase and tone of voice and annoyed my parents for a bit. Yes, I learned to speak from 80’s cartoons.
Being up before mom and dad with a stainless steel bowl filled with half a box of cereal and ice cold milk in front of a wooden clad floor model TV accompanied by a TV guide wearing my superman underoos. Those are memories I'll carry to the grave.
Challenge of the GoBots, Galtar and the Golden Lance, ThunderCats, Silverhawks, Sky Commanders, Dino-Riders, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Rock 'N' Wrestling, Robotech, Inspector Gadget, Inhumanoids, Heathcliff, Pole Position, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Kidd Video, Mister T, MASK (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand), Turbo Teen, etc, and a lot more

Dinosaucers had a really good premise and overall art design, but the writing was terrible and never aspired to be anything beyond silliness. It also had to compete with TMNT of which had a much stronger and edgier first season. I still believe Dinosaucers deserves a reboot.
By the way that's Moreno's weapon was known as the fossil Aizer it would turn them into mindless dinosaurs it would turn them into stone the dinosaucers were the ones who had the weapon that would turn them into the mindless version
chris wilson The Tyrannos used the Dinovolvers as a means to transform and enslave their enemies. Both parties knew of Dinovolving, but it was only the Dinosaucers the had the tech to allow them to take on their more powerful forms without losing their intelligence. The parties use Fossilizers but the as a rule the Dinosaucers would intentionally devolve a sentient being. There is of course exceptions as the Tyrannos got their comeuppance a few times at the hands of their own tech. Honestly the core concepts of this show is mind blowing cool. I just wish that they would have translated all of this into a better developed cartoon, but then again this WAS the 80’s! 😹
I absolutely loved the Legend of Zelda cartoon, especially for how Zelda herself was portrayed. She was so gorgeous,... and those tights that they animated her in,... didn't leave much to the imagination, even for a kid...
@@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?
@@gabrielspradlin1594 Mighty Orbots was animated by the Japanese studio TMS, which also worked on Akira, Bionic Six, Visionaries, Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, and the first season of DuckTales.

I also loved that show. We had all the monster mind toys, but only one of the lightning league trucks. In fact, I think I still have Terror Tank around here somewhere.
Inhumanoids was a nightmare generator. And for some reason as a kid, that made you _want_ to watch it. Well me anyhow. I wouldn't blame anybody that tuned out after seeing Decompose do his thing.
