Holy shit! I actually watched this cartoon as a kid!
It was in syndication at the time, but it used to come on really early in the morning before I had to go to school. It was mixed in with those old "Hercules" cartoons, the one where he had a squeaky-voiced centaur for a sidekick. They also showed "Sinbad the Sailor" cartoons. For some reason, Sinbad was a blond teenage boy with a pet parrot.

Did this really come out in 1966? Because it really has this 30's feel to it.

I didn't know anything about this until YouTube. I thought they may have been too embarrassed to syndicate it.

I didn't know there was an animated version of Star Trek: The Next Generation too!

blase - 2008-05-01 Check out the Rocket Robin Hood "Dementia Five" episode on YouTube. Then check out Bakshi's Spiderman "Revolt in the Fifth Dimension". WTF -- talk about recycled animation -- they shamelessly reused the same characters and "plot" line for two completely different series.

The guy who did these was named Ralph Bakshi. He actually revolutionized animation at the time by developing a technique where only the objects moving on screen at a given time would be animated; this saved a lot of time. It was funny however that when I watched this show a couple years ago on late night cartoon channel there would always be at least 5 mins of animation that was repeated every episode, which made it really redundant. Bakshi also did the movies called "The Wizards" and "Fire and Ice". He was himself a Jew and his anti-nazi sentiments are quite clear in "Wizards".

Holy shit, this is the best idea EVER. Also that singer sounds suspiciously like Leonard Nimoy.

I love this show, just for those not familiar: Robin lives on Shearwood Asteroid, wields and electro quartre-staff and "Robs from the astral rich and gives to the cosmic poor". I'm not making any of that up.

The best part in this show was one of the bumpers which shows a repeated loop of the friar picking up a huge hunk of meat, taking a single bite and then throwing it away. Over and over and over.
