What happens

BraveStarr is an American space Western animated television series that aired 65 episodes from September 1987 to February 1988 in syndication. The show was broadcast a year after Mattel had released a line of Bravestarr action figures. BraveStarr was the last animated series produced by Filmation and Group W Productions before Filmation shut down in 1989. The show was not a success when it first aired, but has since gained a small cult following due to its mix of Western and science fiction elements. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
