List of ThunderCats (1985 TV series) episodes

ThunderCats is an animated cartoon series created by Rankin/Bass Productions.

Season 1 comprises 65 episodes - a standard number for animated series at the time, as it allowed the series to be shown every weekday for thirteen weeks (one full broadcast season). The series' two-part pilot episode debuted starting January 23, 1985, with airdates varying by market; WTOG aired it on January 23, while WNEW aired it on February 1. The series subsequently began airing in its regular weekday time slot on September 9. In 1986, the series returned for a TV movie, ThunderCats - Ho!, which was subsequently aired as five separate episodes worked into the continuing rerun rotation of Season 1. The second season, which produced sixty episodes, was broadcast as three seasons between 1987 and 1989. Each broadcast season began with a five-part miniseries that established the new concepts and characters that would play into the events of the season that followed.

The entire series has been released on DVD, collecting both seasons across two box-sets. Season 1, Volume 1 was recalled when it was discovered that the second episode was missing its background musical score, and a corrected version was released in its place. Volume 1 was released on August 9, 2005, and Volume 2 on December 6, 2005.

Season 1 (1985)
This list presents the episodes in their original broadcast order, which is also the order used for the DVD release of the series. However, in the case of the first season, this is not a chronological story order, and results in several events occurring out of order; most notably, the five-part mini-series, "Lion-O's Anointment," is spread throughout the season instead of being presented consecutively. When the series was re-aired on Cartoon Network years later, it was presented in an alternate, more chronologically-correct order; this was based on the show's production order, but with multi-part episodes arranged consecutively.

Season 2 (1986–87)
Note: ThunderCats Ho! and Mumm-Ra Lives! were originally broadcast as stand-alone TV movies.
