It sounds just like the Hoff. Honestly, even though I always hated Thundercats, I have to admit that it was groundbreaking. Lionel of Thundera was the first openly gay male in American cartoon television. Surely that's worth something. Seriously, did David Hasselhoff actually provide the voice for Lionel?

The first season was pretty much as good as I remembered it - there was an actual, interesting plot that spanned across multiple episodes, and included vocabulary that (IMO) was a step up from the average kid fare.* However, it was also rife with plot holes (sometimes autobots can fly and sometimes they can't) and a lot of animation errors (mostly due to the jet planes' colorization). The second season was almost the reverse. They lowered their animation error rate but lost all sense of writing. Over half of the season was godawful retreads of the same one-dimensional plot: bad guys invent some doomsday device, good guys stop them. *And another thing! When did people decide that it was a bad thing to challenge kids by making products for them that use words they don't already know?

I just got the Chip n Dale on Dvd so this has inspired me to go and watch some and see if it is as good as I remember. I don't need to watch TMNT, I know that won't be as good and I don't want it proved to me I would rather remember it fondly and if anything read the very adult comic book that the series was based on if I feel the ache for some nostalgia.

Digimon is a Pokemon knock-off, but it still has the monsters and stuff. Yeah, I think you’re thinking of “Yu-Gi-Oh”, which is totally a Magic knock-off.

I think you're thinking of Yu-Gi-Oh!, not Digimon. “I was surprised by how shocked I was by Digimon, a Pokemon knock-off where the whole 30 minute show consists of two characters playing the game you’re supposed to play with the cards.”
