If you have VOD for Cartoon Network the Saturday stuff usually shows up on Sunday. That’s how I’ve been keeping up with some of the stuff.

I have CN on my VOD, but apparently Charter doesn’t get ThunderCats on CN VOD.
I checked on it last season when I missed an episode, and ThunderCats was nowhere to be found.
Luckily they re-aired it on Sunday mornings, which at the time, I was able to catch.
Hopefully, they’ll re-air it at a more reasonable time for me.
I have been rather happy with my Charter DVR service and my current box can record a lot.

From what I saw, missing an episode of this isn’t a bad thing.
My Toonami childhood was destroyed by this reboot. It’s just so wrong…in every way.
Saw the original Thundercats when it first aired and find the new version much superior.
I really can’t believe this is possible. Though I also have difficulty that, despite being made by the Japanese, the new Thundercats has every flaw that modern American cartoons have, with the possible exception of art.
Even if I were a young child currently and were to watch this new Thundercats, without having seen the much-superior first one, I would be disgusted, or at least too completely bored to continue watching.
Who wants to see utterly thin and unrelatable characters in contrived (and BORING) situations to try and overtly beat heavily biased messages about society into our heads? I certainly didn’t and don’t.
Where’s the (more) mature content of the cartoons of yesteryear? Where’s the action? Shoot, where are the theme songs?
Batman: The Animated Series, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, and even DBZ had all of these things. Modern Thundercats has none.
Saw the original back when it aired in 1985 and again on Toonami. It did not hold up well as I found the writing to be more then a bit cheesy. I find the new version to have much more solid writing and plot. Also Snarf is far less annoying then he was in the original. You are the first person I have seen who saw both versions that likes the old one better.
Snarf, or “Sunarufu”, didn’t do anything in the new version. They could have left him out IMO.
In the original, Lion-O was basically a man-child which explained his behavior, but in the new one there isn’t any justification for it. Tigra was reserved and competent in the first one, the foundation of the team, but in the new one he’s an arrogant and brash entitled youth. Both of them also are pretty petty and sanctimonious in the new one, eerily similar to Aang from Avatar or Ed Elric from FMA.
Sadly they’re both fairly incompetent which brings me to Cheetara, who is a “Kim Possible” type character, a “strong” female character who furthers the modern idea that women can only be strong when the male characters with them are weak. Similar to the relation between Katara and Aang/Sokka in Avatar, and while Lion-O/Tigra aren’t as incompetent as Ron Stoppable (nor as hilariously named), the Kim Possible/Ron relation. Like Katara, I also find Cheetara to be brutally annoying.
While Tigra, and to a lesser extent Cheetara and Lion-O, were radically changed for the new series, Panthro is basically the same bumbling grunt that he always was.

Which means I got to set my alarm tomorrow morning. I remember when I was a kid I was up at 5am getting my Saturday morning snacks ready to watch Cartoons. Getting old sucks.
Got the DVR set to record it as I’m usually busy at that time.

Thanks Coffee God. I’ve been waiting for the second season. I enjoy this series very much.

I may have you beat PP. I remember what I think were the Schmoo’s when they used to start at 5:00 am. I was a die hard. Sometimes I would even watch Uncle Ted’s Ghoul School and Dr. Who on PBS until 3:00 in the morning, watch the local channel “sign off”. Then, for 2 hours I would play pong and stay up until the ABC Weekend Special(usually with Don Knotts) was over at around 2:00 pm. I loved those days. There were no cable channels, but Saturday mornings were packed with great cartoons.
Slick
