Night Owling

Of the 1500+ channels on my parents Fios television system (yes, the same parents who limited us to channels 3, 6 and 10 growing up), I'm choosing to watch the one that has He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on it (the cartoon version). Some observations:

1. Skelator is waaaaaaaaaaaay less frightening than I remembered. I know that's to be expected since, you know, I'm about 28 years too old to be scared by a cartoon but seriously: you should hear his voice. So nasally.

1a. Having said that, Skelator is also way more jacked than I remember. Seems like a skelaton-based villain should be fairly skinny, but Skelator really hit the weights. Gotta give him credit.

2. Man-at-Arms was Teela's father? I have no recollection of this

3. He-Man's voice sounds a lot like Phil Hartman's

4. "In today's story, I asked my father for permission to do something I wasn't supposed to do." Totally forgot about the post-episode PSA

5. My favorite thing: the complete overuse of people's names. Every single bit of dialogue incorporates a character''s name. So "Trap-Jaw, you're going to have trouble doing that" and "He-Man, we need your help, He-Man"
