I DO have one disagreement with the list however. SilverHawks doesn't belong anywhere near it. Oh, yeah, SilverHawks STINKS and IS a really bad show but dang it is just so pleasantly entertaining to rubberneck. Watch an episode and you'll see what I mean. What were the creator's smoking when they made this show? Who came up with the idea of the alien mime kid? The Cowboy pilot and his rainbow guitar? A Monster that turns into a robot riding a giant space squid? A suck up snake character called Yessman? Or my personal favorite the weird alien cab driver and that annoying bird thing in the back seat.

Stoners say Scooby Doo is funny while you're high but I sincerely doubt it. However I expect that the reefer madness of SilverHawks would contribute to the best burn since seeing Fantasia in a smoke filled theater.

I originally wrote this in response to Bleu Unicorn's journal but I had so many nagging questions that I decided to post it here too.


I watched an episode of Thundercats on CN a couple of years ago and I was unsurprised that like practically all eighties cartoons did not hold up well. Like you said all the villians in those days were two-dimensional and I'm kind of jealous that kids in the early nineties got all of the COOL superhero cartoons.

By the way, that day I watched Thundercats I also rewatched an episode of Silverhawks. While Thundercats is kind of dumb Silverhawks is actually bat-poopy insane. What was up with that alien mime kid? Or that toadie who was a cross between a snake and Smithers? (His name was actually Yesman) Or that weird alien cab driver with the crazy bird in the back seat? I am frankly surprised more kids from the eighties didn't grow up to be serial killers.


After I wrote that I realized that Silverhawks had a LOAD of insane crap in it when you come right down to it. It also had that monster that turned into a robot who rode a giant squid in outer space and that guy who was like a giant molecule. That show was MESSED UP. It seriously needs a DVD release so new generations of kids can have their heads explode.
