S5:E23 The Combative History of GI Joe: A Real American Hero - The Cartoon, The Toys and The Comic Books
First Aired: August 22, 2019
When Hasbro launched the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline in 1982 alongside the Marvel Comics series, it commissioned Marvel Productions to produce a series of fully animated 30-second television commercials which were broadcast in order to promote the toys and comics, beginning with an ad for the first issue that aired throughout the Spring of 1982. The popularity of these commercials led to the production of a five-part G.I. Joe mini-series which aired in 1983 and eventually to a syndicated animated show that ran for 95 episodes. The production was not without it's problems. The cartoon, the action figures and the comic books all working together in a first of its kind effort to resurrect a property that had been dormant for a number of years.
