As a child of the 80s I will always love the original more (and have the DVD box sets), but I can exclusively break the news and reveal that the new ThunderCats animation show is finally coming to South African viewers with 2 new episodes per weekend from Saturday 9 June on The Cartoon Network (DStv 301) at 09:05 (South African time).

ALSO READ: OUT OF PLACE - The new ThunderCats and its characters is an anatopistic mistake; won't make sense if you've seen the original.
As if episodes of the new ThunderCats have to be shipped from Thundera, its taken Turner in the United Kingdom who runs the channel exactly 9 months to start showing the show for South African viewers - a whole lifetime in kid, puppy, and fanboy years.
There will be 26 episodes in the first season of the new ThunderCats with Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, WilyKit and WilyKat, SNarf and Mumm-Ra.
The Cartoon Network will show 2 new ThunderCats episodes on weekends - one episode on Saturdays at 09:05 and another new episode on Sundays at 09:05.
