That said, this episode really gives each character a moment to shine in the action department, introduces some of the character themes in the score that we came to love, and provides a great thematic contrast between how the Mutants built their new home (slave labor) and how the ThunderCats built theirs (enlisting the aid of new neighbors through goodwill and social symbiosis).

I’ve never had neighbors that good (I almost just typed that as neighbots, and I’m now convinced this easy-to-make error is how the writers got the idea to make the Berbils robotic, because there is nothing about it in the series bible).
They’re the perfect neighbors agreeable, low-maintenance, and always willing to lend a hand. Let’s face it, the Berbils were basically cutesy, pacifist Ewoks, but it’s kind of hard not to like them. The ThunderCats meet their new neighbors, a cute, peaceful species that seems robotic, but may not be because they have children and agriculture. “Exodus” is a fantastic prologue, but this episode sets the tone for the rest of the series, certainly the dynamics of the first season.

Seriously, though, the whole naked thing is not that big a deal and is certainly not of interest because it’s erotic (at least not to me, feel free to dissent in the comments), but because it’s is utterly amazing that the show got away with having all the main character buck-ass nude in the debut episode of an animated children’s show. Because it’s the episode of ThunderCats where everyone is naked, an episode that likely played a not-small role in creating a generation of furries. Because it’s a fun standalone science fiction short that manages to successfully introduce and properly characterize 11 characters in roughly 22 minutes.

So, to spare you the time and pain of slogging through all the duds, here’s a list of the must-see eps from that 65-episode first season, the ones that really capture the spirit of the show at its best. Maybe it’s because I got all that disappointment out of my system and can now appreciate the show for what it is, but in sober judgment I’ve found that, while most episodes are kind of bad or even flat-out boring, every fifth or sixth episode hits the mark exquisitely as a fun, well-written, and entertaining half-hour of animation. In this recession, it’s nice to know some people are still spending money.While ThunderCats doesn’t live up to my rose-colored childhood memories, it is way better than I remember it being when I rewatched as a teenager. As a birthday present to himself, he spent $35 million on a G5 private jet, according to TMZ.com, and another $20 million in upgrades, like custom Italian leather seats, Brazilian hardwood cabinets and travertine-tiled floors.
