Thundarr the Barbarian was, by some accounts, Ruby and Spears favorite show they worked on as is evidenced by the number of times they tried to save it.

Riding the wave of Star Wars and predicting the popularity of Conan the Barbarian they couldn't keep Thundarr on the air long enough to be swept up in the pop culture wake of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
