The trilogy of Rankin Bass Animal-Themed Superheros:
The first needs no introduction, but who here remembers the other two? Too bad none of the shows ever crossed over. Although, the 2011 reboot of Thundercats hinted that all three existed in that universe:
Too bad it got cancelled (and replaced by that crap Thundercats Roar) before they could get more into it. Supposedly, Silverhawks was getting a reboot, but I haven't heard much for a few years. With all the drama at WB, seems like they're more interested in sitting on stuff than doing anything with it.
So, which ones do you remember and what did you think of them?
Edit: now that I think about it, all of these shows are probably the reason I have a thing for catgirls and other monster girls in anime and video games.

The first two shows were really good but I never heard of that Tigersharks show before. After watching the opening I don't think I would have liked it.
@kraken it was basically "Thundercats Underwater" the same way Silverhawks was "Thundercats in Space".

Anyone picking up the new Thundercats comic book this week?
@zarius I'm getting it tomorrow. I'm a big fan of Declan Shalvey. I don't know how I feel about some of the character designs though, especially Tigra's beard and Wilykit. I'm a big Thundercats fan so I'll give it a shot but who knows how long I'll stick around.
I am picking it up with my other comics tomorrow. I am not thrilled with the character designs, but I like them better than the 2011 animated series. The changes seem really arbitrary though, and not different enough to justify them being different in the first place. The costumes seem more modest, like they are trying to cover them up, and they are more like super heroes than fantasy characters. ThunderCats has not had a good track record in the modern era, so hopefully this will be good.
I'll have to give them a look when I have the spare cash.
