Why I love this show:
The Masters of the Universe was a franchise that started as a toyline in the early 80's and eventually launched into books, comics, a feature film, and of course this awesome cartoon. While I was not alive for this show when it first aired, I did have the privilege of having three older brothers who made sure I knew who He-Man was. For me the Masters of the Universe is the quintessential 80's show, even more so than Ninja Turtles, Transformers, or Thundercats. Along with a few other classic cartoons (that may or may not be on this list) are what helped define me as a kid. This show has fun and unique characters, morals at the end of every episode, and some really good story telling for a 20 minute kids show. The thing I love most though about this show was how much it helped me expand my imagination as kid. I use to have counts battles in my back yard pretending I was He-Man fighting off Skeletor and his goons. Going back and watching it now I recognize how campy and kiddie it really is, but now that's one of the things that makes it so classic.
