When I first saw He-Man on TV as part of USA's Cartoon Express in the late 80's, I got hooked, which led me to buy all the merchandise from that show and the "new" He-Man that came out in the early 90's, which didn't do well as this one. This was probably the best cartoon that Filmation did (alongside Fat Albert and Bravestarr), with animated violence that wasn't unheard of in an American cartoon plus a moral at the end to teach young kids about good stuff. The dialogue can be corny at times, but the music is memorable and the characters easy to follow. In recent years, younger people have associated He-Man with gayness since he's a muscular man. He-Man still has the power.
