| Does anyone remember a Saturday mourning cartoon where a group of super hero's traveled around in a submarine. They had a pool at the bottom of the sub that led to the ocean and When they hit the water they transformed into human/sea creature super hero's. Does anyone know what it was called? I believe one was shark/human. octopus/human, sting ray/human, dolphin/human

Its actually the "lost" installment to the Rankin Bass trilogy as well. Thundercats, Silverhawks, Tigersharks.
You would think with the immense popularity surrounding Thundercats and the medium sized fan base the Silverhawks have, Tigersharks would have been on DVD by now. Unfortunately as it stands we only have 10 episodes in circulation and half of them has the intro and episode title cut off 
This one is a favorite of mine and Warner has absolutely no plans to release it. When I asked them about a potential dvd the response was "Tiger- What? Do we even own that? Wait, there was never a third Rankin Bass cartoon in the T-Cats/S-Hawks style, you are crazy" I also mentioned 'The Comic Strip' and they were dumbfounded on that too, just in case T-Sharks was sold to WB packaged under that title.
So yeah, the people that own the rights to it (Warner bought Rankin Bass) do not even know they own it, let alone what it is. I hate to say it but I feel like T-Sharks is doomed to obscurity. Probably wont even be a Warner Archive release. Id just like to see the complete series in good quality finally.

The only official video release of any sort for "TigerSharks" (as far as I know) has been this VHS release- http://www.amazon.com/Tigersharks-Power-Shark-VHS/dp/6301486277/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380889630&sr=8-1&keywords=TigerSharks
There were also VHS tapes released for the other segments of "The Comic Strip"- one per show. ("Karate Kat", "Street Frogs" and "The Mini-Monsters") Each contains three episodes of their respective series. [You have to keep in mind that with this series, it was originally shown as a half-hour long compilation show called "The Comic Strip", where segments from two different shows would be aired on different days. But it was handled differently in different markets. Typically though, you might see a segment from "TigerSharks" (approximately anywhere from 11 to 15 minutes long) and then a segment from "Karate Kat" (approximately anywhere from 11 to 15 minutes long). Of these shows, "Karate Kat", "Street Frogs" and "The Mini-Monsters" all had 11 to 15 minute long shorts that were complete in themselves. For "TigerSharks", the show was presented in the same format but since it was a half-hour long series by itself, it was always presented in parts. (i.e. "Part 1" of an episode was aired one day and then "Part 2" was aired the next day or whatever.)
You can still find some of these at times on Amazon.com or Ebay, etc. but they are all long out of print.

http://www.amazon.com/Street-Frogs-Keep-Rappin-VHS/dp/6301486293/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1380890210&sr=8-2&keywords=Street+Frogs
http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Monsters-Adventures-Camp-Mini-Mon/dp/6301486307/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1380890293&sr=1-1&keywords=%22Mini+Monsters%22
Now that ThunderCats (the original '80s classic) and SilverHawks have both finally made it to DVD in their entirety, I'd love to see TigerSharks and all of The Comic Strip follow suit and get released too...but who knows if that will ever happen? But the fact that characters from SilverHawks and TigerSharks actually made a cameo on the "Legacy" episode of the 2011 ThunderCats series gives me some hope that someone is aware of these properties and might work to get them to DVD someday.
