HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
No summary available.

For all of you who don't know who He-Man is, here is a little information:
He-man lived on the light side of Eternia in Castle Greyskull under the
alias of Prince Adam. With him were his loyal friends Orko the wizard,
Teela the female warrior, Man-at-Arms the resident machinery nut, and
his trusty sidekick Battle Cat. Despite having the worst disguise this
side of Superman, no one realized that He-man was Prince Adam in a Speedo.
He-Man's arch nemesis was Skeletor who lived in Snake Mountain on the
dark side of Eternia with his lackeys Beast Man, Man-E-Faces, and some
others I can't remember. He-man and Skeletor were in constant battle for
control of Eternia, and neither was able to win.
What made He-man so cool was the blend of midevil elements with futuristic
elements thrown in. Fights are engaged with laser guns and swords. Characters
rode around in armored tanks. Also batteries were present in He-Man's
universe.
Also remember those little minute long segments at the end of cartoons
that taught you a lesson like in Inspector Gadget and G.I. Joe? Well He-man
I believe was the first cartoon to do that. They usually featured Orco
doing something incredibly stupid, and Prince Adam/He-man pointed out
the error of his ways.
All in all He-man was one of the greatest 80's cartoons, and I would
love it if a network would put it back on TV Saturday morning before Candlepin
bowling (remember that!).
