DangerMouse, for those of you who DON'T know, is a cartoon superhero created in England By Cosgrove/Hall Productions Limited. The DangerMouse episodes we have all come to know and love first aired in 1981. Since then it has bulit an audience over 6 Million strong! And for 2 years begining in June of 1984, he started entertaining millions more in the US on the Nickelodeon channel in the afternoons where almost overnight he shot into their highest ratings.

In England 3 videos were created and began selling strongly with the 3rd shooting instantly into the #3 slot on release. There where also over 200 different items of DM merchandise available in England, from books to mugs to soap and even Wellington boots! It is also rumored that a video game came out titled DangerMouse In Double Trouble"
(If anyone has access to any of these items - Please Please let me know!)

The Series has been sold in over 31 countries and 7 seasons have been screened in England. However only 5 tapes are available in the US.

DangerMouse is a wacky and hilarious adventure about a White Secret Agent Mouse, and his trusty bumbling sidekick hampster assistant, Penfold. Penfold is lovingly daft, and usually needs to be saved from one situation or another, and is the greatest straight man/err hampster ever known. Together, they are given assinments by Colonel K, Their comander/walrus. The orders consisted of doing battle to save the world from monsters, master thieves, and crazed fiends of all types with the most prolific being their arch nemesis meglomanic frog, Baron Silas Greenback and his henchman crow, Stiletto.

The television screen blares and DM knows that it will be Colonel K. wanting them to save the world again. " ZZZZZ... That will be Colonel K. with some mind boggling mystery to solve"DM is always saving the world - Altho as he likes to point out in enumerable British style "it's just a job really." However, Dm always manages to save the day, earning himself the adoration of millions who tend to reward him with many unigue gifts such as a camel (Given to him by eskimos), a 3 toed sloth, a Panda Bear named Fred Fred, a tiger, a even a mongolian wild mule.

There are rarely any humans to be seen apart from the Minister of Inkblots and inertia, a cleaning man, and a an overseas reporter interviewing elephants. All of the other characters are humanized animals.

DangerMouse and his trusty sidekick Penfold, spend most of their time protecting the world from their arch enemy, the evil Baron Silas Greenback and his henchmen. Clearly a spoof of the many James Bond episodes. In fact DangerMouse is heavely layered with arty witty spoofs of all types. Ranking the program up there with Monti Python and Airplane.

In an episode titled "Custard" they travel to an alien planet where Penfold accidently awakens a cartoon version of Alien, breaking out of it's egg to plant a big wet sucky kiss on Penfold. They then wind up crashing into the moon and getting to earth via a "time travelers potting shed." Poking fun at Dr Who's Tardis!
And for Raider of the Lost Ark fans, there was an episode titled "The Long Lost Crown Afair" where the episode opens within a temple hidden in the South American jungle. where Dm and Penfold are chased by a huge ball that turns out to be part of a huge game of snooker..... and they get holed!

It should also be noted that DangerMouse lives in a trusty red pillar box just outside of the Baker Street home of Sherlock Holmes famous residence! And just as James Bond loves his gadgets DM drives the greatest car ever given to any secret agent. Not to mention his very nimble "Space Hopper".

Though primarily intended for children, the show is best appreciated from an adult point of view. For the younger viewers there is the slapstick which is combined with the sophisticated parodies and the witty remarks most certainly lost on anyone under 15.

Without a doubt, DangerMouse is one of the funniest zaniest most imaginative cartoons, no Shows, ever created!
