Thundarr the Barbarian

This is my childhood. Please don't bruise it.

"In the year 1994..."



Obvious rip-off of Star Wars and any other archetype or character you can imagine (watched an ep on Boomerang yesterday to see the wizard Octagon sprout two cylindrical metal tentacles from under his robe [*cough* Doc Ock *cough*]), but endearing nonetheless.

When I was young, I craved that same world of super science and sorcery. Then 1994 past quietly by. (sigh) Alas, no run away planet. Yet...

Calvin, I understand. I once showed a tape I had of one of the earlier episodes to a group of high school students I was teaching. They were maybe 5 or 6 in '94, but witnessing the resurgence of the Star Wars Mythos which made for an interesting dynamic.

But I agree with your (sigh) on a lack of super science and sorcery. Boo.
