The 15 coolest action-adventure cartoons of the 80’s you’ll never forget

4. TIGERSHARKS

tigersharks

TigerSharks is probably one of the most under-rated cartoon series during the 80’s because of its lack of running time and proper exposure. Tiger Sharks are the cousins of the Thundercats and Silverhawks, who lives and fights under the sea world called Water-0 (sounds like Lion-O to me hehe). The Cartoon series was aired here in the Philippines through RPN Ch.9 every 4:30 pm in the afternoon as part of the Comic Strip Show. Tiger Sharks ran for 10-12 minutes or so everyday in Comic Strip episodes and was not given a full 30 minute and independent franchise by the rankin/bass people. Yet those 12 minute episodes were highly laudable because of its colorful characters, impressive fast movements, cinematography and funny one liners. The TigerSharks ran for 52 episodes most of which are divided into two parts because of the short run time of the Comic Strip show. It became a hit when RPN 9 pitched the tiger sharks against the re-run of GMA7’s Thundercats on the same timeslot. Most kids have already watched the Thundercats and the network was airing it for encore so they tuned in to RPN 9 after school to watch the then new hip and cool Tiger Sharks. Like the Thundercats and Silverhawks, TigerShark acquired a huge following because of its unique storyline and cool theme song that compliments the fast paced animation of the cartoon. I used to run going home after school just to watch this series because most of the talk during the morning flag ceremony in our school is about the TigerSharks. One of the good things about being an 80’s kid is that your TV viewing is limited, giving you ample time to do other things and talk about your experiences with other people other than watching cartoons 24/7 on cable lounge on the couch without any live interaction with their playmates. TigerSharks is on our 4th list.

    yeah! I’m loving this post bluep. Though most of the cartoons you featured I’m not even aware of because I’m one of those poor kids whose home didn’t have a tv set kaya nakikipanood lang lagi. I only got to catch up on these series when torrents and the likes became available in the internet. Pero bakit puro “poor kids” cartoon versions ang fineature mo? hahaha

    one bioman, I always play the role of Green 2 with perfect mimicry of his green boomerang. hahaha, and I won’t allow myself to take the role of Peebo. Lols!

    subconsciously, my favorite cartoon villain back then is Shadow Weaver. I liked it’s hand movements when creating spells. hahaha
