[QUOTE=Mrs. Cake] A close second to Super Chicken. [/QUOTE] Super Chicken is one of my favorites. \* When you find yourself in danger, When you’re threatened by a stranger, When it looks like you will take a lickin’, (puk, puk, puk) There is someone waiting, Who will hurry up and rescue you, Just Call for Super Chicken! (puk, aack!) Fred, if you’re afraid you’ll have to overlook it, Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it. (puk, aack!)\* ---

No love for _[Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogtanian)_? There was a whole bunch of European (mostly Spanish I think) cartoons on Children’s BBC in the 1980s - _Dogtanian_, _Mysterious Cities of Gold_, _Around the World with Willy Fogg_, _Ulysses 31_\* and so on - and most of them had great theme tunes. - “Mortals - you defy the Gods? I sentence you to travel among unknown stars. Until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone!” ---

Classics … _Johnny Quest Pink Panther_ More Recent … _Cowboy Bebop_ (just about everything about it is great, particularly music) _Teen Titans_ (Japanese language version) _Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends_ (I don’t know why I like it so, but I do) _Bobobo Bo Bo BoBo_ (I love that whole opening sequence) And my hands down favorite: _Duck Dodgers (in the 24th and 1/2 century)_ Man, I loved [that show](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Dodgers_%28TV_series%29). ---

The old Marvel cartoons from the 60s. Captain America “When Captain America throws his mighty shield all those who chose to oppose his shield must yield” Just that second line makes it great! Iron Man “Tony Stark, makes you feel He’s the cool exec With a heart of steel As Iron Man all jets a-blaze He’s fighting and smiting with repulsor rays” Thor “Cross the Rainbow Bridge of Asgard, Where the booming heavens roar, You’ll behold in breathless wonder, The God of Thunder, Mighty Thor!” ---
