proved to be a victim of its own success. The first season
was so successful as a merchandising vehicle that other
manufacturers, eager to seize upon a profitable idea themselves,

cartoons was saturated and hopelessly overcrowded, and
programs began to fail left and right. "He-Man", despite
its earlier success, became one of the many casualties.
