What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

When I was a kid, a single VHS tape with six episodes of SuperTed came in a backpack I got at a yard sale. That tape is one of my most prized possessions. The characters are amazing, and the story lines are pretty nuts. Whenever I get sick and have to stay home, SuperTed, soup and juice are the remedy. I still have the entire opening sequence memorized. That opener is actually the origin story, and it is gloriously 80s. The premise of this show is really original, and the execution is exactly what the viewer would never expect. Even the plastic cassette jacket is unusual. It looks like a regular old Disney VHS jacket, but it weighs a lot more. All in all, one of the best pieces of 80's cartoonery of all time.

Victor Spinetti just died, so I wanted to review one of his credits. "SuperTed" is fairly interesting, if not great. I saw it on video a few times when I was young. It wasn't even until many years later that I learned that Victor Spinetti provided the voice of villain Texas Pete (by which point I knew Spinetti as the co-star from the Beatles' movies). In fact, providing the voice of Bulk was Spinetti's "Help!" co-star Roy Kinnear (also memorable as Mr. Salt in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"). Reading about the show, I was surprised to learn that it comes from Wales; I've always thought that we don't hear enough about that country.Anyway, it's an OK show. Nothing particularly special, but pretty entertaining.Bones!

When I was a kid this used be one of my favourite cartoons ever. I don't remember seeing it on TV, but we had a couple of videos. It's about a teddy bear brought to life by a spotty man's cosmic dust. He then takes him to Mother Nature who gives him special powers. "That bear became SuperTed!" SuperTed always lived in space and rescued anyone in danger or with problems. Spotty was a little bit wimpy sometimes, but he was a good partner, I didn't realise he was voiced by Worzel Gummidge, Jon Pertwee! Anyway, SuperTed's most popular villains are Texas Pete the cowboy with his two helpers the fat and stupid Bulk, and the wimpy Skeleton. I don't know if it the stories I liked, or the fact that the hero was a teddy bear. But it is very good, kids will love it!

When I was a kid the norwegian broadcasting channel used to show this series in the weekends, and I remember a few episodes very vividly. The intro to every episode shows a teddybear being malmanufatured, and thrown down into a cold and dark store room. Then there comes an alien with spots and they go to a magic cloud where he is given fantastic powers and he becomes SUPERTED. The whole series is about Superted and his alien friend trying to fight evil, most often in the form of the criminal trio Tex, Bolla (in english perhaps bigboy) and Beinet (he is a skeleton). These are smalltimers who dont succeed, Tex is the leader, but Superted always overcomes his scrupulous plans. All in all I remember it as a good series for kids.
