Why did the TMNT kick the butt of Shredder so often in the 1987 cartoon?

It's nothing like that, the only thing opposing the Shredder were the turtles. If Shredder annihilated the turtles he would've had no reason whatsoever to build Krang's android body. Krang is all too aware of this and that's why he helped Michelangelo, he acted against Shredder purely out of self-interest.

Remember, in the episode "Shredderville" the turtles wake up in a world where they never existed. Shredder never built Krang's android body because he never had to. Why should he when everything he wants is at his feet already?

Umm I never really saw anything of He-Man but I've heard of Skeletor. Hordak, the name sounds familiar, makes me think of some viking like dude.
She-Ra, who-ra?

I recall some cassette tapaes, one where Hordak tried to throw some slime at He-Man.

Yes, I said Hordak much more famous than She-Ra. Hordak is more famous as a He-Man enemy than a She-Ra one.

Hordak isnt famous at all. Choose your words a bit more carefully.
