I posted this on my RPG blog, might as well post it here, too. Mark Evanier has alerted everyone that there's now a DVD of Thundarr the Barbarian available; he also talks a little bit about his experience working on the cartoon series

I was always amused by the episode where they met the "King of Man-Hat" who wore an old wastepaper basket as a crown.

Between that show and "Ark II," no wonder people of my age tended towards nihilism about the future...our damn Saturday morning cartoons told us that we were headed towards apocalypse--the most important future job skill we could learn was mutant evasion and how to find non-contaminated canned goods in rubble!

I think the one that sticks in my mind the most is when there's a new wizard attempting to establish himself and raid people. His magic was obvious stage magic -- attacking people with magic linking rings and such -- and his lair was the Magic Castle in Hollywood.
