You said it.
I suppose keeping them in class and off the streets was a start. He also seemed to be a bit of a father figure outside class so more of a counselor/advocate than instructor - at least from what could be seen on the show. Of course, scenes featuring actual instruction would be boring.
The opening was awesome but the animation in the rest of the show pLed by comparison. I presume it would have been prohibitively costly and possibly too time consuming to have have animated the whole show to the standard set in the opening.
I wondered what her ethnicity might be. With her raven hair and slightly dusky skin she could have been Persian, Turkish or even part Asian.
Yes, the quality of animation in the opening sequence is markedly better than that of the show itself. Thundercats was the same way. My guess is it would have been too costly to animate the programs to the level of quality of the opening.
Yeah, could be. It’s amazing how some people look younger following plastic surgery and other look disfigured. How much of the variability is down to the skill of the surgeon. I wonder.
Yeah, I think that scene accurately captures their dynamic: Ariel is attracted to Thundarr but he has other, bigger things on his his mind (e.g., freeing the subjugated). If Thundarr feels attraction to Ariel, he suppresses it.
I imagine Ariel and Thundarr sleep in the tents and Ookla, given his size and wild nature, sleeps under the stars.
Yeah, it’s quality animation. Love the character and mecha designs and vibrant color palette.
You have some interesting takes on the novel/movie. I agree with you that a key motivation for the man was to obtain societal recognition of his contribution(s) to knowledge or human welfare. Evidently he came to feel he was more likely to get that from the cruel villagers than from scientists in his chosen field of etymology.
Or one of the dirtiest - literally.
From trivia section of the CCBB entry on IMDB.com: “ According to Dick Van Dyke, the Vulgarian adventure was written to be "real," with the "fantasy narrative" aspect being a last minute addition to the script.”

I felt the same as OP the first couple of times I watched it as a kid but have come to have a certain affection for the back half as I have grown. I like the Child Catcher, the Roses of Success, the Doll on a Music Box, the scene with the kids scrambling everywhere, and the happy ending. But I do agree that the second half feels like a different movie from the first (as if by a different director) and that it drags in parts.
That’s what I always assumed. Either that or the launch tubes convert into the landing bay following take off.
As a kid I thought it was really cool although, even then, I wondered why the robot dagget wouldn’t be programmed not to run off after he had repeatedly gotten Boxy into trouble doing so.
I was surprised to learn, years later, that there was a chimpanzee inside the costume rather than a little person or child actor.
He’s missed. Such a handsome and kind man. He was a big part of the success of BG. It only lasted a single season but its many reincarnations demonstrate that it captured many people’s imagination - a fitting legacy for Richard Hatch and all involved in creating the show.
Good point. They likely had to trade something of value (likely tylium) for all of the opulent decor and food and drink in their faux casino.
I’m amazed the planet lasted as long as it did if a tylium deposit was so volatile and powerful that a fire at one spot near the surface could blow up the entire planet.
Wow, you can’t go wrong but:
Sheba
Serena
Athena
Cassi
The women In the show, even many of the secondary female characters, were beautiful. The casting director certainly had good taste.
