- This Animated Series changed the face of children's television when it debuted in 1983. Filmation produced the show for daily syndication in conjunction with a pre-existing line of Mattel toys and action figures. Its huge success led to dozens of others Merchandise-Driven cartoons in The Eighties. It is now being rerun on Qubo late at night and on RTV on Saturday mornings. The show left syndication and was shown on the USA Network, which back then was known for being the "used car" network for rerun lots of rerun shows. There's a character sheet in construction.
