[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

I am currently watching the GI Joe cartoon from 1983 (I would've loved it as a child if I'd managed to catch it in Sweden). A little bit repititive sometimes (especially since the GI Joe Team kick the butt of Cobra in so many episodes), but still many funny episodes. It is notable to TMNT fans that Rob Paulsen is a voice actor for Snow Job and Tripwire, and there are episodes written by television writers like Buzz Dixon and Ted Pedersen.

It got away with better action than both the 1983 He-Man and the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles seires (even the early episodes). The GI Joe forces fight well, both with their firearms, vehicles and with hand to hand combaat. The Cobra terrorists are very badass, and while they often rely on technology still science fiction to us, terrorism is still a relevant threat today.
