The History of TigerSharks: It's Kinda Like Wet Thundercats!

Күн бұрын

TigerSharks is an American animated children's television series developed by Rankin/Bass and distributed by Lorimar-Telepictures in 1987. The series involved a team of heroes that could transform into sharks and other marine animals and resembled the series ThunderCats and SilverHawks, also developed by Rankin/Bass.
Following the already established template TigerSharks came and went fairly quickly, lasting only 26 episodes.

I was never a big fan as I was outgrowing these kind of shows (or so I thought at the time), but my little sister loved it and we watched it together and bonded a little that way. Mumm Ra was a fascinating and compelling villain though. Totally underrated bad guy and saving grace to the show IMO. Mumm Ra, THE EVER LIVING!!! He was so evil and actually terrifying on a level that transcended a kids show.
