I remember when this was part of the Saturday morning cartoon lineup (together with George of the Jungle and Tom Slick). 1967. There were SO many good cartoons back then!
I remember this from watching old "George of the Jungle" reruns as a kid. That theme song will always be stuck in my head. "Just caaaaaalll for Super Chicken."
When you find youself 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 ack!) Fred, if you're afraid you'll have to overlook it, Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it (puk ack!) He will drink his super sauce And throw the bad guys for a loss And he will bring them in alive and kickin' (puk, puk, puk) There is one thing you should learn When there is no one else to turn to Call for Super Chicken! (puk, puk, puk) Call for Super Chicken! (puk ack!)
I love Super Chicken! I grew up watching Super Chicken, Ricochet Rabbit, George of the Jungle and so many more awesome cartoons! We had 4 tv stations, ABC, CBS, NBC and the one public access channel. Kids just don't know what good cartoons are! Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner were some good ones too. I sure miss the good old days, but then again it sure makes me feel old.........but only sometimes!
Cartoons like these (grew up watching Tom and Jerry, Rocky and Bullwinkle, The Inspector, Pink Panther) was why TV was awesome back then. The stuff they got going on some of the cartoon channels are pure junk (well, maybe one or two are good). Sad some of these are not on DVD, but kudos to the one that upload these for those of us to watch.
Henry only turns into super chicken after he drinks his super sauce which is served in a martini glass. He fumbles about trying to save the day until he finally drunk drives into the perp. 😬
When I was a kid I always thought the super sauce was actual sauce and I never understood why he drank it out of a martini glass. Now that I'm an adult I know the super sauce is booze.
You know how cartoons are sprinkled with little adult-oriented jokes that kids don't get but adults do? I just today got one about Super Chicken! You know the "Super Sauce" and how it doesn't really seem to do anything? I just figured out what it is! It's not a "super" sauce at all -- it's just the sauce! Super Chicken knocks back a good, stiff drink before going out to fight crime! I think I remember my father howling in laughter at my dogged insistence that there was no humorous significance to the fact that the "Super Sauce" was usually shown being drunk from a martini glass!🍸😎😆
out here in L.A., super chicken was shown on sunday mornings on tom hatten's (?) popeye show. i actually won a contest on that show. i got two tickets to the now non-existent Sea World here in southern calfornia.
6:08 "The Oyster went to jail to serve every month with an "R" in it for 30 years." Warden: Alright, Oyster. It's May, so you're a free man for now. See you first thing September. I trust you won't take this obvious opportunity to escape for good.
When i was a kid in the mid eighties and this was in syndication on TV my stepfather would always sing the theme song to SuperChicken. I still don't know how he could remember all the lyrics LOL!
anyone here from homestar runner? very cozy asethetic reminds me of the various shows my dad would show me as a kid. i miss him a lot, he's in the age range to have grown up with this kinda thing, and liked similiar shows, like goerge of the jungle and rocky and bullwinkle. with its reference in the recent HSR episdoe I wonder if this was formative to the brothers chapps' sense of humor as kids, since a lot of it feels sort of proto-homestar runnery.
Man, imagine how safe the world would be if there were a real life Super Chicken fighting evil and protecting us! Too bad we ran out of super sauce in the 1950s 😩
All I can ever think of when I hear this song is Rosario Fernandez an incredible Asturiana who would have me in hysterics singing this song. I in a misguided attempt to introduce two people I love introduced her to her soul mate my buddy Mike, and so it goes..... Oh almost forgot, I always did the chicken clucking.... clucking I said.
Carries around an oyster magnet. Just in case. Besides hat and mask, he’s not wearing anything but a cape, belt, and boots. Basically walking around flashing the whole neighborhood. I think Jay Ward and Bill Scott were hitting the super sauce. Not that I mind.
Hey Jack Grattan..you are so right...many young adults today have a twisted way of looking at things..because of what they watched on network television after the 1980s when the executives in charge wanted to go a bit pornographic..which was not good..all those parents who complained about violence on Saturday morning cartoons in the 1960s which only taught that the good guy always win..you see what things have come to..nauseating visuals of people killed..even on primetime tv...nobody can truly say this is better than Saturday morning tv back in the 1960s. Kids are bombarded with violence more than ever now...wonder what those complaining parents got to day about that?
I think the opposite. I decided one day to check the Saturday morning programming on ABC, CBS and NBC and call I saw was a lot of touch-feely bullshit I wouldn't subject any child to. It's pretty sad.
He said that he'd have to spend time for every month with an 'R' in it for 30 years. Well I guess, may, june, July an august is also a vacation time for 'the oyster'!
@Tititias LOL! NO one ever knows what I'm talking about. I'd say, "Remember the song? "when it looks like you will take a lickin'...buk-buk-buk-buk! ... Caaaall for Superchicken - Bu-KAWK!'" (they would look at me like you'd expect) I was starting to think I had imagined it until the invent of youtube! (Extra points if you remember the Electra Woman/Dynagirl Krofft creation which has also been proven to exist outside my imagination by youtube as well)
still as good as when i was in it--i mean when it was made--great storylines--why isnt there the original theme to george of the jungle here on YT---puk, puk--its been hijacked by the new version - get super sauce Fred

I remember when this was part of the Saturday morning cartoon lineup (together with George of the Jungle and Tom Slick). 1967. There were SO many good cartoons back then!
They don't make them like that anymore.
I was babysitting for two little girls who watched this every Saturday, along with the others. But this is the theme song I can still sing! 😂
Aahh, childhood memories of the re-runs on KTLA-TV Channel 5 back in circa 1981…
My former boss had me install the part of Super Chickens "cry in the sky" on every computer in his office. Priceless
Bakka bakka bakka bakka bakka bakka bakka bakka bakka bakka bakka bakka baaa!
Your boss is a man of class
That's one of the best cartoon intros ever.
I remember this from watching old "George of the Jungle" reruns as a kid. That theme song will always be stuck in my head. "Just caaaaaalll for Super Chicken."
I remember this was one of the features that was part of the "George of the jungle" cartoons on ABC Saturday mornings...along with "Tom slick"
I used that line on my first wife,"you knew the job was dangerous when you took it"then she divorced me.
😂
😂
That's what ya get for being honest.
Next time lie.
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred.
This is when cartoons were good.. It entertained kids and did them no harm.. Now, everybody has a " message" for your kids and mine..
I was the first one at Peabody Elementary to learn the song , I was a big hit at morning recess.
When you find youself 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 ack!)
Fred, if you're afraid you'll have to overlook it,
Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it (puk ack!)
He will drink his super sauce
And throw the bad guys for a loss
And he will bring them in alive and kickin' (puk, puk, puk)
There is one thing you should learn
When there is no one else to turn to
Call for Super Chicken! (puk, puk, puk)
Call for Super Chicken! (puk ack!)
My kids hate when I sign this.😆😆😆😆😆
Always loved the introduction.
i watched this back in the Longago
My favorite part of the theme song is the montage of photos of John Barrymore, Valentino and the Frankenstein Monster.
I love Super Chicken! I grew up watching Super Chicken, Ricochet Rabbit, George of the Jungle and so many more awesome cartoons! We had 4 tv stations, ABC, CBS, NBC and the one public access channel. Kids just don't know what good cartoons are! Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner were some good ones too. I sure miss the good old days, but then again it sure makes me feel old.........but only sometimes!
that was my favorite old show
Tom Slick, George of the Jungle, Magilla Gorilla, Snaggle Puss, Underdog, Dudley Do Right... ahhh Saturday morning cartoons how I miss them!!
So you are in your late 60s ,right babe?
@@mariahardy1201 You forgot Wally Gator.
libby the lion and hardy haha
better than most things on currently
Better than anything anime, with the exception of Speed Racer.
Maybe the video is not as great as today. But the work the writers and voices did was fantastic!
I Loved this cartoon as a kid. Thanks for making this available.

Enjoyed it as a kid....also now as a grown up.
Thanks!
Thanks..didn't realize till I got older what 'super sauce' was.
Thanks
Thank U
Love his favorite advice, "Let that be a lesson, Fred..."
Never trust an oyster!!
Loved this show as a kid back in 1967...
Love these old cartoons
Henry only turns into super chicken after he drinks his super sauce which is served in a martini glass.
He fumbles about trying to save the day until he finally drunk drives into the perp. 😬
Nothing like the old cartoons.. They will never be like this again.. Glad I was around to see them as a kid..
I'm sure you all feel the same way..
True, especially when network censors will see the Super Sauce and think it's alcohol.
Could be. ‘On the sauce’ is old slang for alcoholism.
"I'll blast him out with my lightning ray bolt!" *Fires flame thrower*
"It's also a dandy place to store mushrooms!"
O_O
I'm a 63 year old kid! Love it! 😎Phillip Austin
When I was a kid I always thought the super sauce was actual sauce and I never understood why he drank it out of a martini glass. Now that I'm an adult I know the super sauce is booze.
This is hilarious oh my goodness
Used to listen to the radio version, at Ft Benning while pulling myself together for a train at the Infantry Officer's school in late '71.
I'm 63 years old and the words to the Super Chicken theme is still in my head. LOL!!
"I'm the mother of pearl!" LOL
Love that song
There's no substitute for genuine Super Sauce!

Some things you just will never forget. Superchicken's themesong is one of them for me!!!! I knew the job was dangerous when I took it!
That and Tom Slick's theme
I need to find the sound effect for the super sauce. Heard it on other cartoons too. Loved Super Chicken and Fred!
Ohh man I used to love this cartoon so much. The theme song is the best. Buck buck buck buck.
Just CAAAAAAAAAALLL FOR SUPER CHICKEN
out here in L.A., super chicken was shown on sunday mornings on tom hatten's (?) popeye show. i actually won a contest on that show. i got two tickets to the now non-existent Sea World here in southern calfornia.
Now that's what I like. Good old fashioned realistic crime drama.
6:08 "The Oyster went to jail to serve every month with an "R" in it for 30 years."
Warden: Alright, Oyster. It's May, so you're a free man for now. See you first thing September. I trust you won't take this obvious opportunity to escape for good.
I lourves this ...thanx for posting
Stay away from oysters in the hottest months of the year! Hilarious!!!
the BEST theme song since the early roadrunner cartoons (well maybe tied with Dangermouse)
The hoister , what a pearler !
Need Cry in the Sky as my ringtone :D
MUSHROOMS..FOOLIO GETTIN HIGH IN THERE..LOL
When i was a kid in the mid eighties and this was in syndication on TV my stepfather would always sing the theme song to SuperChicken. I still don't know how he could remember all the lyrics LOL!
Never knew my dad uses to watch this when he's a kid.
3:22 Hey, Super Chicken, Underdog just called. He wants his transformation back.
This Superchicken was awesome in the 80's.Thats when it was awesome know they have just good movies
the world lacks superheroes now because all the phone booths are gone.....
anyone here from homestar runner?
very cozy asethetic reminds me of the various shows my dad would show me as a kid. i miss him a lot, he's in the age range to have grown up with this kinda thing, and liked similiar shows, like goerge of the jungle and rocky and bullwinkle.

Man, imagine how safe the world would be if there were a real life Super Chicken fighting evil and protecting us! Too bad we ran out of super sauce in the 1950s 😩
I like the backwards F in front of Freds shirt !
Good Lord, that was...entertaining.
Best. Theme Song. Ever.
Ha! This had me rolling in laughter. Anyone else notice that Super Chicken didn't actually do anything to capture the Oyster? Dooooh!
"Its also a dandy place to store mushrooms"
ROTFLMAO!!! I loved this show. Too bad we'll more than likely never see it released on DVD. :(
Love the old cartoons!
Cartoon Lost and Found from 1989 brought me here
a chic with a oyster magnet .love it....
I wonder how many kids got the joke behind “Henry Cabot Henhouse III” when this originally aired.
What joke? Changing Lodge Jr. to Henhouse 3rd? 99.9% of adults didn't get that joke.
I still don't get it
Soft headed ... Hardened guards - always cracks me up
It's amazing how many of Super Chicken's phrases I use on a regular basis.
All I can ever think of when I hear this song is Rosario Fernandez an incredible Asturiana who would have me in hysterics singing this song. I in a misguided attempt to introduce two people I love introduced her to her soul mate my buddy Mike, and so it goes..... Oh almost forgot, I always did the chicken clucking.... clucking I said.
Carries around an oyster magnet. Just in case.
Besides hat and mask, he’s not wearing anything but a cape, belt, and boots. Basically walking around flashing the whole neighborhood.
I think Jay Ward and Bill Scott were hitting the super sauce. Not that I mind.
No time to explain, Fred...
I first heard this theme music on a bmx video lol
Ohh, my childhood cartoon is here, super chicken (buc bubuc bubuc babac bubuc bubuc babac backaaaaaak)!!!.
This is my spirit animal.
Pretty 👌👀👀 nice cartoon 🐓

I think the opposite. I decided one day to check the Saturday morning programming on ABC, CBS and NBC and call I saw was a lot of touch-feely bullshit I wouldn't subject any child to. It's pretty sad.
it is
this, george of the jungle, and tom slick were all done by the same people and all came on in one half hour long show
I could go for some Super Sauce right now Lol
He said that he'd have to spend time for every month with an 'R' in it for 30 years. Well I guess, may, june, July an august is also a vacation time for 'the oyster'!
Ummmmm.... The 70's The VERY early 70's. And yes - its was AWESOME!!!!!
Margaritas? That's a martini my friend! Superchicken even comments that there is too much lemon peel (twist)
Holy crap... I just noticed that his mode of transportation is actually an egg... lol!
The Oyster sounds like Snagglepuss.
God we were so innocent & naive as kids... Looking @ this some 40 years later, I can see all of the sex, drugs, & alcohol references... BITCHIN'!
Super Chicken (and George of the Jungle) is turning 50!
Every month with an R in it... that's 8 months!
It’s a dandy place to store mushrooms
A great Cartoon
I Want George of the Jungle on DVD.
I saw this first run when I was a little kid
So did I. And I know sang this song 😂
@Tititias LOL! NO one ever knows what I'm talking about. I'd say, "Remember the song? "when it looks like you will take a lickin'...buk-buk-buk-buk! ... Caaaall for Superchicken - Bu-KAWK!'" (they would look at me like you'd expect) I was starting to think I had imagined it until the invent of youtube! (Extra points if you remember the Electra Woman/Dynagirl Krofft creation which has also been proven to exist outside my imagination by youtube as well)
Looks like it was done by the creator of underdog
it was
How? Jay Ward had a hand in that, but the U-Dog was the result of Leonardo Productions
iam here because of that hulu only movie called destroyer, and its an alcoholic super hero and the criminal was released every month with no R in it.
Childhood Memories
I like chickens.
Puk ack!!!!!
LOL!
so the oyster got out for every may , june, and july? lol

this is quality TV
still as good as when i was in it--i mean when it was made--great storylines--why isnt there the original theme to george of the jungle here on YT---puk, puk--its been hijacked by the new version - get super sauce Fred
@pinkpowerranger1000 lol that made me think of super mario
This has William Conrad narration. Must be part of the Bullwinkle family.
It is actually Paul Frees doing the narration. I also like the William Conrad narration from Bullwinkle. Creator Jay Ward was a genius.
@@johnlopez3996Though Conrad did narrate the pilot.
Where do I get this Supersauce?
