On this day September 12, 1983, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero, the animated series based on the popular Hasbro toy line, premiered in syndication. The series quickly became a fan favorite and ran for two seasons, producing 95 action-packed episodes. The show followed the G.I. Joe team as they fought against the evil forces of Cobra, introducing iconic characters like Duke, Snake Eyes, and Cobra Commander to audiences.

The series played a huge role in defining 80s pop culture, combining engaging storylines, memorable characters, and lots of action. G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero not only helped drive sales of the toy line but also became a staple of Saturday morning cartoons and after-school programming.

Fun Fact!

Each episode of G.I. Joe famously ended with a PSA (Public Service Announcement), teaching kids important life lessons with the tagline, “Now you know, and knowing is half the battle!”
