That's the only reason I watched this show, I always laughed my ass off when I was a kid when Friar Tuck ate all that food relentlessly and carelessly throwing it away 😂
When i saw this video and looked at the pictures, this took me back at least over 40 years ago, when i was a teenager. It seemed to me like it was a dream, or like one of those flashbacks that take you back at a particular place and time. Thank you, Johnny, Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦
Ah, yes! A long-forgotten Canadian hero! Literally everything in this compilation were what I remember/like the most about this show, which I remember seeing on Teletoon Retro (both the block and the channel) LOOOOONG ago. Good times.
Words cant describe how this transports me back to my schooldays in Manchester Northwest England. Home from school teatime and watching Rocket Robin Hood, eating hot toast by the coal fire. No toasters in those days we used a toasting fork.
Okay. It's been about 45 or 50 years since I last watched this. For some reason I just remembered the lyrics. But I can't remember who won the last World Series.
And if you're Canadian (which I think you are), you'll also remember the lyrics to the theme song of "The Littlest Hobo" There’s a voice that keeps on calling me Down the road is where I’ll always be Every stop I make, I’ll make a new friend Can’t stay for long, just turn around and I’m gone again

why can't it be 1973 again and be a kid going to school watching this show. Where did the time go? how did i get old so fast? Didn't we all think we'd stay young forever. I wish we can go back in time when life was GREAT. I miss being a kid so much.
@@NeverQuit87 first saw it in 1967 was very campy great title song lousy animation in second tear production values fairly cheap compared to amenrican cartoons...low budget
What memories I have of the old channel 25! Rocket Robin Hood! The 60's Spider-Man, and an army of Marvel Super Heroes! Josie and the Pussycats! Fun World of Hanna- Barbera! Force Five! Star Blazers! (Formerly on WSBK-TV 38!) Lassie! Get Smart! Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea! The early '80s Let's Make a Deal! Bullseye! Underdog! Bullwinkle! And all the rest!
When my sister and I were kids up in the Adirondacks in Northern New York, we used to be able to pick up the Canadian stations sometimes and we both loved watching Rocket Robinhood.
The nostalgic feelings this stirs for me. Memories of mum trying to get me dressed and fed for school while my eyes are glued to the tv. LOL!! Everytime she is trying to comb my hair I would move my head because she's blocking my view which would make it harder for her to comb. It was this and The Mighty Hercules back to back that my weekday mornings would begin. Lot's of other Canadian kids in the early 80's had similar routines but my American friends that are my age didn't have these two shows as part of their morning cartoons. I guess it was mostly aired in Canada.
Oh I watched it in the 70s on CJOH Saturdays from Louisville NY near the Canadian border of Cornwall. The narrator had a classic voice and did lots of Candian shows. Good times they were.
Wow, this brings back memories of Saturday morning cartoons in the '70s. There is an episode where RRH battles some spider creature. The exact same scene or the entire episode (not sure) was recycled with Spiderman fighting the spider creature. They sure knew how to get mileage out of their animation.
I was watching The Mighty Hercules opening on here, and thinking that's not right. Did I watch this? Mighty Hercules? That doesn't sound right...no I think was, Rocket...Robbbbinn Hooddd!!
My late brother and I used to watch RRH religiously before school back in the day. I miss him and this show. Some serious memories here. Krantz Films kicked ass. This and that old-school Spiderman was a good way to start the day.
god how i miss those days...innocence of childhood i guess...but also growing up in the 1980's in canada...special time it was...i am so thankful for those experiences
That is my strongest memory of this show. I used to watch it as a kid and think, "Is this jerk really wasting that much food?" It's so good to have this online now to confirm, yes, he really was just shitting on all those poor people the merry band was supposed to be helping.
@@andrewjamesknox bro I totally used to think the same thing! I was like 5 years old and going “I would have eaten all those grapes and the chicken too!” 😅😅
Shamus (James) Culhane was a top animator in the 30's, first with Max Fleischer in New York, then Walt Disney in Hollywood (he single-handedly animated the "Heigh-Ho" sequence in Snow White.) In the 40's he became a director at Walter Lantz's, then in the 50's a top independent producer of TV commercials. By the 60's and 70's, though, he was turning out some of the schlockiest cartoons on TV; like this one, "The Spirit of 76," and "The Wonderful Stories of Professor Kitzel."
Den Saku Channel 12 in Toronto was always the french channel. Huh. It's been a long, very long, time since I watched regular cable tv so I wonder if it still is "le frenchy" channel. lol I love the Friar Tuck vignette btw. LOL!! *Bite, toss. Bite, toss. Bite....*
Rocket Robinhood resembles Superman, but he’s probably more closer to Flash Gordon. With Prince John in the role of Ming the Merciless. Like how Robinhood destroys that giant purple Minotaur.
0:00 - 0:35 The singer sounds way too good for a show this low-budget. And that's from a guy who used to watch this show as a kid. Never seen so much re-used footage in any other show I've yet seen.
I really like the music parts of this cartoon! I remember when this cartoon series was 'introduced' in Chicago, IL., On "Garfield Goose & Friends", on WGN-TV. I was just getting 'interested' in it, the cartoon was taken out of the shows line-up. I really hoped they would bring it back. But their never did. And now, I discover that Rocket Robin Hood, was released on DVD. But it next to impossible to acquire the cartoon series, because it's now OUT of Production, and the few remaining dvd collections, are fetching OBSCENELY HIGH PRICES.
She was probably working her social and court connections behind the scenes to get juicy info on Prince John and his henchies. But that generally doesn't involve a lot of slam-bang action, just social engineering.
'The Interplanetary Villains quiver in their spaceboots'... while the interplanetary villains were armed with guns. Big rifle-type space guns too. Rocket Robin has... a stick. And Sherwood Asteroid is clearly plummeting through someone's atmosphere. Man, i LOVED this crap back in the day, and it's even more hilarious now. I'd give anything to have seen Rocket Robin and his Merry Men just walking through the Zocalo on Babylon 5 in the background. Friar Tuck grabbing something to eat, taking one bite, throwing it away, it hits a Narn in the face, a bunch of Narns stand up and draw their weapons, Robin gives a merry laugh and draws his Electro-Quarterstaff... and is blasted dead. "Are you seriously kidding me? A stick?" says one of the Narn, incredulously. Yes. A stick.
Rik Berryere Ahh, while you're so "arrogantly dimissing, Rocket Robin Hood, and his 'trusty' electro-quarterstaff", You DO remember that "The Minbari", also carry 'sticks' of their own. Right?
The Minbari and human Rangers carried their own 'electro-quarterstaves' don't forget, and kicked alot of Narn and Centauri (and Drazi, and Pak-Marah etc) ass with them! I think Robin's merry band would be just fine in a Zocalo brawl, even if guns came out. Those staves could deflect shots too!
Rocket Robin Hood The Mighty Hercules Mr. Dress up The Polka Dot Door The Wizard Of Oz/Pinocchio show G-Force Romper Room (she said my name🥳) Captain Kangaroo The Electric Company Circle Square Classic Sesame Street And the crème de la crème..... The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show
You could if you robbed from the rich and weren't super careful about exactly how much of your revenue made it to the poor. Friar Tuck was probably their accountant.
I like that last part 6:47 , he fires one arrow and is all “My work here is done.” And then after they just pull out the arrow and use the lever anyway lol
Shamus Culhane was the man behind this series. He was an American cartoon animator. Fun fact : he was married to Maxine Marx, daughter of Chico Marx of the Marx brothers.
"Arch enemy of Rocket Robin Hood is the cruel, space-tyrant Prince John. Despot ruler of the National Outerspace Terrestrial Territories". This cannot NOT be Canadian ! LOL
FUNORAMA!!! Hello fellow Vancouverite! But Rocket Robin Hood played on CKVU-13 on Sunday mornings back then. KVOS-12 got the cool stuff like Battle of the Planets and later Robotech and GI Joe.
This was one of the first cartoon series I saw on Yorkshire Television when it was first established in 1968. Even as a child I noticed there were more intro and vignette than stories!
When I consider the heroes of old that's my great- grandfather and my grandfather and my adopted father had lived through and I compare them to the heroes that we have today I cannot deny that there was just a simple truth that I can see. The heroes of today are sad and depressing shallow mimicry of the true iconic age of heroism and pride and having a true confidence not just in yourself in your own abilities but in those around you who consist of your friends that there can be no hero who claimed them self to be an island or even an asteroid. We live in an era now bereft of true and genuine Heroes. We live in a time when men like rocket Robinhood are truly needed to remind us what it means to be a hero. We have forgotten what true heroes of the people really are... it is not someone with the powers of a god. Watch a mortal man who without secrecy to hide himself steps up to claim in opposition of the madness. Striding forward willingly to become an outlaw for the sake of bringing righteousness to the world instead of the overly authoritarian belief systems of government. Quite literally a Band of Brothers marching together with heads held high in any kind of weather. The only way that we can secure freedom for ourselves is if we unite and constantly stand as one against the pointless and useless taxation of the government when it does not serve the people. I'm actually serious in this there was a ton of people who don't actually understand that Robin Hood was written as a Treatise about how the king's taxes were considered unfair to the people. That is the entire reason why he was the one who robbed from the rich and Noble and gave to the poor peasant. Because it was meant to be an entire treaty some the unjust collection of taxes that did not have any regulation
Admit it... you came here to watch Friar Tuck eating the grapes.
He takes one bite from the turkey leg! Maddening!!!
That's the only reason I watched this show, I always laughed my ass off when I was a kid when Friar Tuck ate all that food relentlessly and carelessly throwing it away 😂
Haven't seen this in 35 years.. but i still knew the theme by heart..
Thanks for the memories
Loved it as a kid; the intro, closing credits, stories, songs, fun futuristic styling, all great stuff!
