Anyone remember Super Chicken?

[finecraft]

I was sitting here reliving my childhood (with the help of my special friend Jose Cuervo Gold Especial) when I remembered one of my favorite cartoons! It just seems so appropriate....



Mild-mannered Henry Cabot Henhaus III is the world's richest chicken. When he drinks the Secret Sauce, (out of a martini glass), he turns into Super Chicken! Although, having no real powers, he felt stronger, and with that he fought evil. Alongside him was his faithful butler, Fred, and they went around solving mysteries. (Like were are the WMD, maybe?)

For those too young to remember, you can learn more here. Make sure you check out the song!

1. How good was it?

I haven't even caught that on Boomerang.

4. It was funny

It was shown as part of the "George of the Jungle" show. It was funny to see him fly around fighting "evil-doers" with his super powers.... Except he had no superpowers...he only thought he did! Oh God..is this art imitating life, or what?

[Tom Kitten]

2. Yes!

I remember it for its theme song! Will check out that web site.

Now, do you remember the radio show "Chicken Man"?

[SharonAnn]

3. Oooh, not the same one! I remember a truly glorious spoof

radio show.

In 1968 it was on NPR? for 5-10 minutes during lunchtime. It was about a shoe clerk who was "The Wonderful White Winged Weekend Warrior" who wore a chicken suit that he was always having trouble getting zipped up.

He fought "Crime and/or Evil on Weekends".

I loved the show. Kind of a British humor kind of thing, maybe Monty Python.

6. Was his song

something like "He's here, he's there, he's everywhere"

[xcentrik]

9. Nope, that was...

"Chicken Man", a syndicated radio schtick back during the Batman-on-TV era.

12. When I was stationed in Germany

in the 70's, Chickenman would come on at 0720 on the Armed Forces Network, Germany wide all work would stop to listen to the show. When I returned in the late80's Chickenman was nomore. I missed him.

5. Best SuperChicken line....

Fred - "Why don't you use your Super Vision?"
SC - "If I had any supervision, I wouldn't be wearing this costume"

7. I loved Super Chicken

That is still one of my favorite cartoons. They did show it on tv a few years ago. Maybe on Cartoon Network? But as soon as it appeared, it disappeared.

8. "He will drink the Super Sauce...

...and throw the bad guys for a loss, and he will bring them in alive and kickin'....(BAWK-BAWK-BAWK!)

Here's a lesson you should learn, when there's nowhere else to turn just Ca-a-a-a-all for Super Chicken!"

10. This was one of my favs!

I loved Superchicken! And George of The Jungle, and Fractured Fairtales, Mr. Pebody, etc. But the best ones are still Warner Bros.!

[mac56]

15. Tom Slick!

Tom Slick!
Let me tell you why
He's the best of all good guys

Tom Slick!
Tom Slick!
In his Thunderbolt Greaseslapper when he's on your trail
He won't lose because
You know there's no such word as "fail" to

Tom Slick!
Tom Slick!

I love Jay Ward!

Now, how about Hoppity Hooper?

[MarianJack]

13. WOW!

I always crack my wife up by singing the "Superchicken" song to her!

We mentioned this to our church organist & he played a few bars during Holy Communion at our wedding Mass. Probably the only time a cartoon theme was played in Church!:bounce:

My son (3 years old) loves the tapes of the old "Geprge of the Jungle" cartoons, but they're wearing out. If anybody could tell me where to get more here in Maine I'd be eternally greatful! :loveya:

14. You might try Half.com

although at the moment, all they have is the live-action Brendan Fraser movie. Excuse me, that's half.ebay.com (Now there's a solid common-sense name!).

[librechik]

18. This site looks interesting, although I've never tried it

you have to call them up but they say they have George of Jungle and Super Chicken compilation tapes (and a bunch of other fascinating stuff.

21. THANX1

Many thanks to both undisclosedlocation & librechik. I'll try them. If you are parents, you know that a disappointed 3 year old is not a pretty sight. Almost as sad as a president with a mental age of 3!:crazy:

[Spirochete]

16. Was that the show...

that also had that cartoon called "the Perils of Penelope Pitstop" on it? And that one with the old lady and the snickering dog?

[orangecoloredapple]

17. ding dang it

I can't stop listening to the theme song. And I am now notified of incoming mail with the sound of the Super Chicken Charge.

ding dang it.

[disgruntled_goat]

19. as any true SC fan will tell you

Super Chicken
NEVER....GIVES...UP!

wtf was in the super-sauce anyway? everytime he'd drink it, SC would say something odd like "too much tabasco" or "too much Sarin" :)

bwaawk!

20. Wasn't one of his arch-villians named Salvador Ragdolly ? nt
