Ah, that'll be Colonel K.

Remember when Nickelodeon dropped "Dangermouse" from its lineup, and after its final broadcast they did a little surprise bit where people from the network's various original shows ("You Can't Do That on Television" and "Mr. Wizard" and so on) all waved goodbye to Dangermouse, one at a time, and wished him well? Then we saw Dangermouse flying away one last time in his car, saying, "Goodbye, Nickelodeon! I'll miss you."

Man. That remains one of the most bittersweet things I've ever seen on TV. I'm misting up just thinking about it.

I always enjoyed that the aliens had Scottish accents.
Also, "Mad Manuel, the Flamenco Assassin"! Olé-olé!

Wow -- that seems so odd for a channel to get so worked up about dropping a series. Normally it's just *poof* it's gone. You'd think they'd keep the series going if everyone was going to miss them so much -- (unless they HAD to drop it due to contractual reasons).

It was nigh on 20 years ago, long before I thought to find out about such things.

I bet the answer's on Wikipedia somewhere.

well Nick was still relatively green then

I'll bet they'd never do that again nowadays.

speaking of Dangermouse ...

... you know he's coming out on DVD soon, right? They're starting with the first two seasons:

Now my big question is if this will be the original version, with Stiletto having a stereotypical Italian accent, or the Americanized version that Nick showed with the dubbed Cockney accent.

I didn't know that about the accent!
