''The New Adventures of He-Man'' is an animation, animated series which ran in Broadcast syndication, syndication in the second half of 1990 while Mattel released the toy line He-Man, an update of their Masters of the Universe line. The cartoon series was intended to be a continuation of Filmation's ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'' series, but Filmation's parent Westinghouse Broadcasting had shut down the studio a year earlier. Instead, while existing in the same continuity, a new central story was created for this series. It's also the first ''He-Man'' series to feature a Canadian voice cast. This would mark the final entry in the original ''Masters of the Universe'' continuity until ''He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002 TV series), He-Man and the Masters of the Universe'', as the franchise as a whole would be rebooted twelve years later.

Sword And Planet
Planetary romanceAllen Steele, ''Captain Future - the Horror at Jupiter''p .195/ref> (other synonyms are sword and planet, and planetary adventure) is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy in which the bulk of the action consists of adventures on one or more exotic alien planets, characterized by distinctive physical and cultural backgrounds.

First-run Syndication
Broadcast syndication is the practice of content owners leasing the right to broadcast their content to other television stations or radio stations, without having an official broadcast network to air it on. It is common in the United States where broadcast programming is scheduled by television networks with local independent affiliates. Syndication is less widespread in the rest of the world, as most countries have centralized networks or television stations without local affiliates. Shows can be syndicated internationally, although this is less common. Three common types of syndication are: ''first-run'' syndication, which is programming that is broadcast for the first time as a syndicated show and is made specifically for the purpose of selling it into syndication; ''Off-network'' syndication (colloquially called a " rerun"), which is the licensing of a program whose first airing was on stations inside the television network that produced it, or in some cases a program that ...
