The biggest problem with modern stuff is it's just not...earnest anymore. It's all meta humor, self-aware, cynical, ashamed to take itself seriously and simply be what it is. The next biggest problem is that every show seems to have ADHD nowadays, the characters are always bouncing off the walls to keep ahold of the short attention spans of modern kids.
And then there was the "educational" segment at the end where they were training the youngest Silverhawk about space to appeal to the whole rule that Saturday morning cartoons had to be Educational and Instructional. Personally, I liked those segments on this show because I was (and still am) a big-time geek when it comes to space.
No one the smile on my face that light up when the theme song come on and tallyhawk begins to fly AND i remember running home from school just to see him and i use to be like momma I want tallyhawk he was so my favvie bird on this planet and at the end id do my hand like quicksilver did and Tally land on him and wish Tallyhawk did the same for me to this day believe it or not It be nice to actually get a custom made actual robotic tallyhawk that look like that cartoon I know that he has a toy but id actually honestly want him made a bit more realistic and off topic love to get the owl from perseus movie too
This show was so similar to the Thundercats, even the bad guys were basically the same, right down to the transformations between Mumm-Ra and Monstar, but both shows are killer in their own way! Glad to have been a kid in the late 80s and early 90s, the cartoons (and toys) we had were bad ass!
NeuralNetProcessor They're from the same production company of Thundercats. This "american anime" came after the catlike humanoid heroes, that's why they have same look&feel.
+NeuralNetProcessor Actually Thundercats and Silverhawks happen to be in the same universe. Mumm-Ra is actually Monstar's boss. There are other universes mixed but I can't remember off the bat right now.
+John Sourlas Current shows don't even try. They really don't. They're ridiculously dumbed-down, the action is minimal thanks to the PC police forbidding any sort of weapons, and they don't eve try to have animation as detailed as 80's cartoons. That's why Japanese anime which does keep pushing the action and detail fascinate so many kids of today who have literally never seen anything like it on TV
Not really. In all of these 80s shows the credit sequence animation is always top drawer. Then you get to the meat of the episode where the budget really shows. Recycled and skipped frames. Characters off model. Bad voice editing (wrong voice matched with wrong character). Color pallet problems etc. These shows were meant to sell toys and that's it. Seriously rewatch them with rose colored glasses removed and you'll see what I'm talking about in matter of seconds.
Wow, this is metal! 80's cartoons are real work of arts. Btw, i was born in the late 90's but damn, i can't help but be fascinated by gems from previous generations
Tally Hawk! Wings of silver, nerves of steel... (Silverhawks!) Partly metal, partly real... (Silverhawks!) Soaring through the highway of the heavens in their flight, SilverHawks, a rainbow in the night! Wings of silver, nerves of steel... (Silverhawks!) Partly metal, partly real... (Silverhawks!) (Silverhawks!)
In Spanish was like this: Allá van! Son de plata y de acero (Silverhawks!) Son humanos biónicos (mágicos!) Cruzan por el cielo para el cosmos conquistar Silverhawks una luz para triunfar! (Guitar solo) Las galaxias son su meta (Silverhawks!) Siempre buscan con afán (La verdad!) Silverhawks!
Man, I don't remember almost nothing about this show, but this intro song was always stuck to my mind ever since my childhood. *SCREEEEEEEEEEEEECH!!* SILVER-HAAAAWKS!
One thing I remember is when they weren't flying around they wore sweat suits. So when they went to work they fought evil in the buff. Just saying. But I loved this show. Was 1 of my favs along with Thundercats and Tigersharks.
The 80's had all the best cartoons. This show was just one of a dozen awesome Saturday morning cartoon shows. Kids today just don't have any idea of the joy and excitement of waking up early on a Saturday morning to watch your favorite shows. Then there were the toys that each show had, that made watching the shows even better. You could play with your toys, while watching those characters on tv. It was also the only time throughout the week, that my parents were ok with me watching tv for a couple of hours.
Watched this cartoon when I was a kid in the early to mid 90s. Omg the nostalgia! I remember me and my younger brother pretending to be Silverhawks, drawing down our imaginary visors and releasing our wings and pretend flying all about. Those days were fun.
This was my favorite show as a kid. Probably the most underrated intros as well. This show needs a remake. Talleyhawk's shreak still gives me goosebunps
People usually say this show is not as good as Thundercats, but wait a minute...... Thundercats had.... Snarf... Silverhawks had a freaking robotic hawk that could fire lazers from it's beak and was actually useful in battle: Tally-hawk. Conclusion: Silverhawks wins.
I think this show's equivalent of Snarf was the stupid cab driver with his own crappy theme song. He was probably way more annoying and unfunny, but at least he wasn't in that many episodes.
One of my favorite cartoons of the nineteen eighties of all the characters on the show my top three were Bluegrass, The Copper Kid, and Melondia. There was something about ether talking in whistles or using guitars as weapons that really resonated something with me and almost forty years later it still has that magic from back then. Kids these days have no idea what they missed out on.
I havent watched this, but I am actually tearing up and getting goosebumps from the harmonies and guitar solo. All I can say is holy cow I have nostalgia for a show I never even watched and now I feel like I have watched this when it was still on tv.
My dad introduced me to this Silverhawks when I was a kid I’m now 19 soon to be 20yrs old and anytime I hear the words silver or hawk this masterpiece just pops up in my head and the theme song just slaps for real 😂😂😂
How on earth did I miss this cartoon growing up. I’m 44, and I’ve literally never heard of this show before. It’s only because comments from another video led me here.
Almost 40 years later and them pulling down the masks is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen
Gotta get out more, then. Coolest things I've ever seen involves asian vaginas and sportscars
Next to the Transformers transformation sound definite a great time to be alive!!!!!!!
Almost 40 years and i still love that guitar solo
Wow the 80s is 40 years ago right? Time flies
Trump supporters would be appalled at that statement lol
Half robot half human playing a guitar in his space ship with a hat on. Can't get more badass than that.
Does anyone remember is the guy with the guitar also had instant face mask? I'm not sure if he ever had one.
vehshibuttable His name was Bluegrass on the show. Haha
Giant cybernetic space squid... that is a vehicle. That is more bad ass *lol*
I miss manly men design's like these
And he was voiced by Larry Kenney aka Lion O.
I am 53 years old this is still a badass cartoon. Tally hawk.
Classic
Does it take you back when you start the into S-Man
Kudos
All these yrs I thought he said Kelly Hawk lol
@@verlinden80 He does
This is one of the most visually impressive opening sequences ever created for a cartoon
Very dynamic.
Yes!
If I’m not mistaking, I heard most of these openings from the 80’s were outsourced to studios in Japan like Toei Animation and more.
Up there with HeMan and Thundercats!!
I've heard that as well
These guys didnt get enough love. These were the coolest toys! Shiny!
That hawk cry... still gives me goose bumps
Me too!
Sérgio Domingues
How bout that guitar solo
🔥🎸🔥
Absolutely Awesome..
Tally Hawk was my favorite!
They don't make cartoon like this anymore, as long as parents keep complained about what their children watched
"TALLLYYY HHHAAAWWKKK!!!!" That screeching hawk never gets old. This is the cartoon every 80s kid would watch back then. Not today's garbage programs.
Amen to that!
The biggest problem with modern stuff is it's just not...earnest anymore. It's all meta humor, self-aware, cynical, ashamed to take itself seriously and simply be what it is.

Still 80s garbage
And the light flashes at the end finish on Tallyhawk's eyes same as the opening
And then there was the "educational" segment at the end where they were training the youngest Silverhawk about space to appeal to the whole rule that Saturday morning cartoons had to be Educational and Instructional. Personally, I liked those segments on this show because I was (and still am) a big-time geek when it comes to space.
I'm a 36 year old man watching this in 2021 and I'm STILL getting chills from that guitar solo. Help.
I'm 42 and getting chills from the hawk cry.
You are not alone
Lol, definitely not alone
2022 I’m 42 and same here too
Maybe this will help: It's been a synth solo all along. It was played on a keyboard, not a guitar. I guarantee it.
Always remember, you might be cool, but you're not a cyborg cowboy playing a sick guitar solo in space cool.
Yep!
@Relax!!! It's not my Blood
😆😆
Yup
Yea that's fax
cannot be defeated
Tally Hawk!!! And the scream was why I would rush home from school. I am now 53yrs old and this intro still makes my skin crawl. ❤
Exactly. I did try rewatching a few episodes and I had to cringe.
ikr he knew he was the ish and he made his point known lol loved Tally hawk
I'm 42 and this guitar solo here made me wanted to play guitar
Thundercats and silverhawks, my favorite cartoons as a kid. I still remember how much fun I had watching this on the living room floor with my brother
So as Swat Cats.
In the 80s we have Silverhawks in the sky , Thundercats on the land & Tigersharks in the sea.
In the 2020s we have snowflakes, everywhere
@@Cometofdoom4316 When these forces combine we get centurions!?
@@presidentevil9951
Ah yeah, the Centurions were pretty awesome from what I remember of seeing them.
Back when cartoons used to be simpler.
I never saw tiger sharks
What a wonderful time to be a kid: the 80's!!!!
Estoy muy de acuerdo, la mejor época de todas!!!!
I missed those days
yes it was a wonderful time as a kid
My childhood. I am mid 40s. No one can take this pleasure away from me.
No one the smile on my face that light up when the theme song come on and tallyhawk begins to fly AND i remember running home from school just to see him and i use to be like momma I want tallyhawk he was so my favvie bird on this planet and at the end id do my hand like quicksilver did and Tally land on him and wish Tallyhawk did the same for me to this day believe it or not It be nice to actually get a custom made actual robotic tallyhawk that look like that cartoon I know that he has a toy but id actually honestly want him made a bit more realistic and off topic love to get the owl from perseus movie too
I'm 43, definitely my childhood as well !!!!!!
I still remember a dream I had as a kid where I actually turned into a silverhawk. One of the best dreams ever.
Wow. Full body combat space faring cyborg. With wings. Just amazing.
Quite possibly one of the greatest openings ever? Also features amazing character designs
Yeah. Typical of 80's cartoons though. Blow the whole budget on the opening and the rest never comes close....
A Q this is awesome going to get my nephew some DVDs to watch with him
A Q I like the g force csrtoons
Hell yeah!
Thundercats edges over them by a bit I think. They’re one of the best though
They don’t make cartoons like this anymore….Great childhood memories
True
Americans don't make this kind of 'cartoons' anymore, but it's always been here under a different category called ANIME
7 seconds into this and I’m teary eyed and 6 years old again
Thought I was the only one that teared up watching this😂
"Silverhawks" So Cool man it must've Been a blast watching Cartoons in the 80s as a Kid
1/13/2024
I thought it was better than Thundercats
I can't believe I'm 39 years old! Watch 80's cartoon, kids. It was last era to really care about cartoons.
I am 63 and still have great memories of the Thundercats and Silverhawk. Loved the intros to both and the shows themselves.
I'm 42
I'm 39, I was spoiled with 80's cartoon from USA & Japan. The toys are also great.
Same here grade 2 back in 1986 lol!!
no sin I can see...
Transformers, Silverhawks, Thundercats, He-Man, She-Ra, G.I Joe, Voltron, Gumby, Spiderman, Xmen....DAMN THE 80s cartoon ARE THE BEST!💯👍🏻
Robotech men! 😌👍
Voltron was an anime
X-Men was 90's, and depending on Spider Man could be 80's or 90's >.>
Spiderman and his amazing friends, Thunder the Barbarian, Robotech, Voltron, Blackstar. Those also was my favorite
Don't compare juden marvel with shine classics
That hawk scream and that song was the background to so many dreams I had. Thanks for making me excited for the unknown. Childhood was awesome!
I Liked It Too
Bluegrass's guitar solo is still badass to this day! 🎶🎸🎶
ikr
That guitar solo is perfection!!!
I like the crotch shot.
Melodia too

read the same thing on a fan website
The golden age for the animation.
Theme songs yes. Animation? Naw
When all their budget go to the intros instead of the shows
Negative, 80's cartoons where mostly trash and designed to sell toys. Ren and stimpy really started the golden age of animation in the 90's
@@Hdc3rd agreed
@@biggdaddy202003 ,
I find the animation better than current shows.
John Sourlas Much better.

Full metal Alchamist with its intro
was stunning!
@@anfasazad5274
Yes that's great
While this animation was done in Japan, it was directed American animators
I believe the animation director was also Japanese. None of the credits ever named a western director managing the animation department
@carloswater7 a winning combination. Then they got cheap and hired european artists 👎

I remember playing the toys in the 1980s. So much fun. Loved watching this cartoon.
If it wasn't for my dad I would have never found about shows like this.

kickass guitar solo...
Yeah! By the resident space cowboy, Blue Grass!
they need to release the soundtrack by Bernard hoffer , wb has the original recordings for thundercats n silver hawks.
And when you see his hand and heard the song... xD
Not to burst anyone's bubble, but what you hear is a keyboard solo.
oh fuck!!!!!!!!!!
Truly amazing opening!!!
I love the 80's !! :]
Yea we had a good decade.
was from 90
@@Kenza1984 was from 80 lol
That moment when they put on the "mask" and start running... so badass!

One of my favorite cartoons as a kid, ahead of its time
Heard this song for the 1rst time at 2-3 years old...and i still remember it now, 24 years later.
Monstars transformation in this opening is out of this world.
Oh man this was buried in some corner of my memory for decades and then i found this video. It brought back a lot of great memories.

Goosebumps. :')
This is my childhood right here.

You know, I'd love to see a crossover with ThunderCats, SilverHawks, and TigerSharks since they all have some similar themes to them.
"Wings of silver, nerves of steel
Silverhawks
Partly metal, partly real"
Man...those lyrics.
Silver Hawks was ahead of its time. Almost after 38 years watching this and feeling the same chill in the spine
The 80s and early 90s was peak childhood. We had the best toys and the best TV shows.
Taaaaaaaallyyyyyy haaaaaaawk.......That hawk cry.......the best intro ever. Greatness.
Loved this cartoon!! Everyday after school had to watch this!!!
Used to watch this in the mornings before heading off the school. God I miss the 80s
Thunder Cats, the space version.
Thank you, Tarik, for this masterpiece.
Right? I never heard of this one but with the combination of this intro and Tarik loving it, I'm gonna have to find out who streams it these days.
This is what I grew up on plus Transformers, GI Joe, Thundercats, TMNT, etc.
This was my favorite show as a kid. Probably the most underrated intros as well.
This show needs a remake.
Talleyhawk's shreak still gives me goosebunps
No cartoon from the 80's need remakes, just re-runs.
One of the best TV intros.
Watched re-runs of this as a kid, still think this is one of the most badass cartoons ever

Just stumbled across this accidentally and it brought back a ton of memories...that eagle scream throughout the intro is something else 😲
I can't remember any of the episodes but I remember the opening cinematic and that bitchin' guitar solo.
