Old cartoon show question....

[trekman101]

[QUOTE=Joe90;306690]I'm surprised that you guys never heard of Rocket Robin Hood. It was produced by Krantz Films and directed by Ralph Bakshi. You may have heard of another cartoon they did?

This was one of my favorites as a kid!

Yes siry bob I watched it as a kid,it is on teletoon retro here once in awhile it is cheesy but I loved it and surprisingly enough my son loves to watch it when it's on.
Then again I was raised in B.C. and now live in Manitoba so guess that explains why we are the ones who know about it...

The rocket robin hood debate reminds me of another Canadian classic the beachcombers try asking them how many have heard about that one as well...

I'm surprised such a classic and beloved Canadian TV show is basically unknown in the United States.

This old crow remembers it well. It was made around the same time as Spiderman back in '67. As a matter of fact, Ralph Bakshi who did the animation for season's two and three of Spiderman often borrowed heavily from Rocket Robinhood to create his own episodes for Spidey. In one such episode he even used the same villians. It use to come on every day here locally in Louisville during the late 60's and early 70's when it was in syndication. Fun show but currently not available on DVD. Hopefully one day it will surface. Here's the opening to the show...

The last time Rocket Robin Hood aired in Canada was on Teletoon.
Like Palitoy said, in the GTA it was on continually, although I am more with its sister program, Spiderman.
Spiderman aired constantly on Channel 11 in Hamilton. RRH usually played on Channel 57.
Since our house had one of the antennas that didn't rotate, we had a hard time getting City. I'm pretty sure it played elsewhere though, 'cause I saw it a number of times.
Space Angel was a little creepy as I recall. I remember thinking his lips looked like my Gramma's after a fresh coat. I'll bet his pockets were full of Kleenex with thick red lip prints, just like her purse.
