I never watched any of the DIC series. How did it pick up after the 87 movie? Was Cobra la mentioned at all or was it like it never happened?. I just finished watching the 87 movie again and now i'm curious.
Thanks for any info

It was not mentioned, but Cobra commander was still a snake, and cured of it somewhat in the first episode. After that it was business as usual for story lines.

Thanks for the info. I always hear how bad the DIC series was, so this saves me from watching it.

Remember, your given 7 year old in 1984 would have been 11 in 1989. I don't care who you are, your tastes DO change over 5 years, and DiC wasn't concerned with the aging fanbase, they were aiming their show to get the next batch of kids, those that were 4-6 in 1989 (like me). That said, was DiC a "great" series? No, but neither was Sunbow (to this day, I rarely watch Sunbow reruns on the Hub in favor of Transformers or even Sigma Six). It did what it needed to do, did so cheaply, did so COMPETENTLY, but it made no effort to do more than that. The Sunbow series relied on relatively high production values, a hugely skilled voice cast, and snappy dialog (supported by the skilled voice cast) to compensate for its often goofy and poorly developed stories. Dic knew what it was, and compared to a lot of cartoons on the market at the time, it really wasn't as bad as some out at the same time.

I still feel a LOT of the hate for the series is from older fans who simply "outgrew" Joe by the time DiC rolled around.

Though, I will at least give them points for at least loosely continuing it from the Sunbow era.
