The entire series has been released on DVD, collecting both seasons across two box-sets. Most online episode guides for the series list the episodes in two seasons as they were originally produced. Each broadcast season began with a five-part miniseries that established the new concepts and characters that would play into the events of the season that followed. The second season, which produced sixty episodes, was broadcast as three seasons between 19.

#THUNDERCATS STREAMING FULL#
Season 1 comprises 65 episodes - a standard number for animated series at the time, as it allowed the series to be shown every weekday for thirteen weeks (one full broadcast season). ThunderCats is an American animated cartoon series created by Rankin/Bass Productions.
The storylines also center on themes like loyalty and courage, so there are plenty of issues to discuss with your kids at the show's end.For episodes from the 2011 series, see List of ThunderCats (2011 TV series) episodes. Many of the characters use weapons like laser guns or stun darts, but when an opportunity exists to deter an enemy without force, the heroes take it, which sends messages to kids about making good choices. Violence is an unavoidable byproduct of the show's good-vs.-evil plot, but by today's standards, it's fairly tame. While this cartoon isn't as blatant in its delivery of positive messages as, say, He-Man, its heroes still stand up for what's right and band together to protect the innocent. It plays out much the same as its peers like BraveStarr and Transformers a band of heroes risks their lives to fend off their nefarious enemies and to help the downtrodden they encounter, all the while teaching their young viewers a thing or two about morality. ThunderCats exemplifies the ubiquitous action-adventure cartoons at the disposal of children - especially boys - of the '80s. Of course, there will be a lot of things that only adults would get but that's what makes Thundercats so great, it's fun for all ages. Like most 80s cartoons, the episodes end with positive learning moments that are a obvious sign of the times, yet the production team was smart enough to weave these messages into the subject of the storyline rather than a lecture. But the action and storylines are strong enough for anyone to get over it. Other times they talk like robots, not the most human of emotions coming from their voices. Many times the character speak with a whiney tone, stretching the words out like their talking to babies.
My biggest complaint about the show is the voice acting, which even bothered me as a child.
They are really smart, creative and want to know as much as possible, so this show fits them perfectly. My 7 year old son and 9 year old daughter got deep into it after only one episode and are questioning a lot of the science and back story. 30 years later, I'm watching my kids doing the same thing. I watched this show religiously as a kid in the 80s, jumping off the couch and mimicing the characters.
