Cartoon Network kept it on for quite a long time, even after it's Toonami removal, and the DVD sales were very high. This comic is just blatantly offensive to my generation. He's a boy who grew up in the 90s, therefore he watched Toonami everyday religiously no matter what they were showing him. Just how it worked.

Even though I enjoyed the thundercats at the time. Something about being a hanna barbara property kept the dvd sets unappealing. Its really robot chicken and family guy skits that even keeps the show as a pop culture foot note in the US. I can’t help but laugh as well. Even though I enjoyed the thundercats at the time.

Calling it a long-lasting cult hit is still pretty laughable, though.
