Super Chicken - 05-One Of Our States Is Missing

[@cherrypotion27]

I love the voice Bill Scott gave Super Chicken. Perfect voice for the cute rooster superhero.

[@georgegates526]

Those years most of TV was one big comedy. People were happy. And Super Chicken reinforced it!!

[@wintersnow4413]

My siblings and I still say "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it,Fred!"

[@cttc4132]

Same here!

[@lamarrblanchard9333]

Dangerously Dangerous

[@Solitude47152]

“You knew the job was dangerous when you took it”

[@walterglowacki2185]

All my eight grade friends back in 1965 watched SUPER CHICKEN we would do the S.C. cry in the hall all the nuns didn't know what that was, those were the days, now I'm retired where did the time go !

[@kelanjones7281]

Didn’t super chicken first appear in 1967?

[@NadaNada-dv8wx]

WoW then we kids ( my mom had 9 kids ) found out it was also in Color 😊

[@Harvesttime2080]

OMG, it's 2023 and this still cracks me up...childhood time capsule!

[@clementjohnson2666]

Oh why oh why did I have to grow up and become an adult 😋🥲 . Being 7 thru 10 years of age was just great 😊😇 .

From Moosup to Mattawamkeag, Maine

[@randyhurd6240]

Super Chicken, Tom slick, George of the jungle, Jonny Quest, Amazing Spider Man, The Herculoids all had great theme tunes and great memories me my kid brother as sit and watch

[@billyrabl275]

[@bospqr]

I think Spider Man had a great theme song...plus it was played by an orchestra...but I agree the first three you mentioned...the King Kong cartoon theme was also great...and of course Speed Racer....

[@jockbeems4798]

i haven't seen super chicken since i was around 5 in 1969. Awesome

[@peterkirgan6850]

Me too

[@cd637299]

Echoes of Rocky & Bullwinkle from the same folk....Edgar & Chauncey, and Tick Tock Tech....never let a good joke go to waste! Good old "Rowed" Island!

[@johnnycats5157]

ahhh, the great Paul Frees

[@davidpage3893]

I love the funny humor of this classic cartoon. I would say the short lived show “Police Squad” and later the “Naked Gun” movies were inspired by these Bill Scott and Jay Ward cartoons. I am from Maine and at 3 min and 7 sec in this episode the narrator Paul Frees mentioned the town of Mattawamkeag which is about 9 miles from my hometown East Millinocket.

[@originalkingalpha5116]

[@beatlejim64]

Great stuff...loved this show as a kid in the mid 1960's.....

[@1wirey]

Hilarious 😆😆 Definitely a favorite from my childhood.

[@ernied349]

Fred : if he was born rich why does he become a thief : Answer to stay rich LOL From then to now Too funny pure gold Thanks for the blast from the past..

[@williedaniel6194]

Super chicken 🐔 😋

[@briancossey4773]

Man, what a blast from the past! I used to watch reruns of this as a kid! A super hero that needed his super sauce? How often did he need to add tabasco sauce? (I'm thinking it was a bloody mary; if he really wanted super powers, he shoulda made it a 5-pepper version).

[@robertbarth1362]

As a kid in the 70's I used to watch Super Chicken on KTLA 📺Channel 5,and I grew up in southern N.M.about 90 miles north of El Paso. Tom Hatten did a show on Sunday morning featuring all kinds of Popeye & other cartoons like Tom Slick🏎🏁and George of the Jungle.

[@skovner]

And that's how Rhode Island was returned - it was rowed. --Fred

[@vincentbuccieri9305]

One of My Favorite Cartoons!

[@williedaniel6194]

Mascot remember 🤣 the chicken 🐔 🤣 😂

[@trainfanmark]

"That fiend must've sneaked in someone from Massachusettes!" Clever!

[@Pimp-Master]

In '67, this cartoon was packaged into a half hour--Tom Slick, Geo. of the Jungle, and the Bard of the barnyard here. Always thought Super Chicken was the funniest.

[@freddyfurrah3789]

Captain Nice (Carter Nash) drank a potion. Mister Terrific swallowed a pill.

I’m from R.I. I knew it was just a matter of time before it went missing.

[@albertpeterson5585]

...coming soon (September 2024) to MeTV Toons! (new channel!)

[@ernied349]

It is Super Chicken you face…it is Super Chicken you approach…it is Super Chicken you have just run over LOL Too funny...

[@Elric33239]

"If he was born rich, why did he become a thief?" "To STAY rich!" "Oh." Bitting satire at its best!

[@frenchacidman]

Funny adult play on words at mark 5:16 when Super Chicken calls the bad guy an MF, actually he says "malefactor". Too funny, and creative, great memories. I used to love George of the Jungle, Tom Slick, and Super Chicken. In college I met a girl named Mellisa M. (Chapman College 1970) whose parents had a beach house in Emerald Bay and their neighbors I was told were the father and son creators of George of the Jungle.

[@jamesrogers47]

The sad thing is that I was five years old in 1967 and still remember the Saturday morning cartoons I watched and more than a few of the commercials that ran with them. A mind is indeed a terrible thing to waste.

[@andrewschultz6608]

@MrFrostMourne1 who will probably never see this: SuperChicken was 8 years before Monty Python & the Holy Grail, though it seems great minds do think alike. Hooray for the classics.

[@HowardSalwasser]

You knew that avatar was dangerous when you made it, Fred

[@mariahardy1201]

I love Monty Python too

[@larryhager37]

You knew the job was dangerous when you took it Fred

[@Elric33239]

Newport really DOES have an annual jazz festival! Education AND clever puns!

[@bricknboxer]

Not sure I'm naming the right actor but does Fred sound like Ed Wynn? Watched these cartoons as a kid. Like Rocky and Bullwinkle, so much humor that went right over kids heads. Great stuff!!

[@itsgr82bdum34]

That's Paul Frees doing his best Ed Wynn impression.

[@rwlwrestlingleague2975]

Paul used the same voice for Captain Peachfuzz on R&B

[@privateprivate1865]

@@rwlwrestlingleague2975 at 1:52 is sounds like huckleberry hounds voice in a way

Sometimes - even in troubled times - I need a good laugh...hope it got a chuckle for you as well. But imagine what life would be life if we were just 'plucked' away from the other 49...'Sure makes a nice looking bay, doesn't it?' There are days I wish it were possible...and yes, this is probably the best knock on little Rhody ever!!

[@cd637299]

From the creators of "Rocky & Bullwinkle," of course. Three Rocky & Bullwinkle references: (1) Navigators were named Edgar & Chauncey, the same names as the innocent bystanders in R & B. (2) Bullwinkle mentioned "Tick Tock Tech" in the episode "Wossamatta U." (3) Isn't that Bullwinkle's head on Mr. Henhouse's wall???
