I used to watch this as a kid, like most people that reviewed this probably. Back then in the 90's, the TV only had 1 channel with cartoons in my country Argentina and I would watch anything on it no matter how good or bad it was. I guess I came in the end part of this type of shows because I barely remember much of the Thundercats or He-man but I remember a lot of this show. That's why I'm not objective, this was my childhood. I'm seeing it with rose-tinted glasses here.
I started watching it again as an adult and dear God this cartoons were bad. Corny and extremely cheesy. Also kind of boring and simplistic plots. This is all fine because the cartoon is not for adults, it's for kids. People complaining about them breathing in space are missing the point. And if you didn't realized the show was for kids through the episode then at the end you have an educative section where they teach you a bit about space. Really basic stuff. The show is so old that they still thought that Pluto was a planet back then.
I had to change the narrative of the show in my head to make it a bit more interesting as you can tell for my reviews of each episode. The show it's basically a space gang against space cops. Every episode the gang tries to do something new and the good guys simply stop them. The bad guys are quite unique and different from each other while the good guys are pretty generic and similar. This is why I would always root for the bad guys, they were just more interesting and they were the ones trying to do interesting things each episode.
Recommend? Of course not. Like I said, rose-tinted glasses. If you watched it as a kid, and you want to watch it again, you will do it no matter what anybody says. If you didn't watch it as a kid and you are curious if this is could be a good cartoon to watch, let's just say: "You had to be there". Now watching it for the first time, it's not worth it if we are honest.
