Thunder is a television series which aired on Saturday Mornings on NBC during the 1977-1978 television season. The show centered around the adventures of Cindy Prescott and her friend, Willie Williams and featured Thunder, a black stallion who ran wild near the ranch owned by the Prescott family: The cast also featured Cindy’s parents: Bill, a rancher, and Anne, a veterinarian. Thunder was always there to rescue Cindy and/or Willie in times of trouble “caused by others’ misdeeds and thoughtlessness,” including a forest fire caused by a practical joker, and Willie being hit by a stray bullet fired by teens in a no-shooting area. Also playing a part in the adventures was Willie’s stubborn mule, Cupcake, who was trained to “burp” on camera. For about a month, in an effort to improve ratings, the producers of Thunder re-titled the show “Super Horse, Starring Thunder.” Thunder was created by the creators of Fury, another show featuring a stallion. This show also aired on NBC, from 1955 to 1960. Thunder was part of a 90-minute block of three live action shows to debut on NBC during the 1977 season, along with Search and Rescue: the Alpha Team and The Red Hand Gang. It was the only one of the three run for a full season in the United States, with all episodes aired.

richard.fuller1 Fairly typical 'Lassie, Fury' sort of adventures. We caught one episode on a Saturday morning, after all the cartoons, looking as rich and as detailed as the old Shazam or Isis shows a few years earlier.In this episode, the boy and girl were watching something. Someone was shooting when they shouldn't have been? The boy was hit by a ricocheting bullet, grazed his head. Had to get him to the hospital.Seemed like a lot of dialogue. Something had to be done for the kid or something like that, or they just wanted to stop the bad guys.What was funny was Thunder appeared like twice in the episode, to save the day by stopping the bad guys, appearing as tho the horse was 'hulking out'.What has always made this episode memorably funny for me was we get an ending clip of the boy in the hospital, waking up and 'going to be okay', then there was a miss up and we get a scene of the MAN in the hospital. I think that was Clint Ritchie.We got the biggest laugh, "wow, that kid was in the hospital for a LONG time!" Never saw the show again after that. No idea what happened.
