Nowadays, you might see a ThunderCats reference once a week if you are looking forThunderCats, but when the series first debuted in 1985, ThunderCats was ThunderCats fever. The first season of the series touted 65 episodes, started the series off strong. ThunderCats followed the adventures of a group of space-bound humanoid cat people, with one represented by each of the major big cats in the feline family. Lion-O, the leader of the ThunderCats, is the one who would always let out the memorable "Thunder, thunder, thunder, ThunderCats hooo!" as he was powering his sword up to fight evil.
And then there was the supporting cast. Tygra, the scientist and brains of the group, based on a tiger. Panthro, the strong, silent and wise character, based on a panther. Cheetara, the sleek, seductive woman of the group, based on a cheetah. The twins, WilyKit and WilyKat, based on the generic feral wildcat. Then finally, Snarf, who was not really based on a cat, nor one of the ThunderCats, but stayed with the group and acted as comic relief in almost every episode.
The plot of the series, as established in the first season, consisted of the ThunderCats fighting in a good-versus-evil struggle with Mumm-Ra and the fleet of Mutants. It was a generic good-versus-evil struggle, and that theme was used heavily in the show to not only act as the plot, but to try and deliver lessons to the children watching. The ThunderCats would often display positive, strong moral character in the situations they were put in, and Mumm-Ra and the Mutants were often making bad decisions. Whether or not it worked for the audience is unknown.
The show ran from its debut in 1985 to 1990, allowing ThunderCats to secure its place in 80s pop culture as ThunderCats was ending at the beginning of a new decade. Though ThunderCats was a relatively short-lived series compared to a lot of cartoons these days, ThunderCats left its mark on society, and anybody born before 2000 would probably recognize "ThunderCats hooo!" if anybody were to belt it out.
