Well, what follows is a summary of what I received from my request for information about Cool McCool. I feel no need to post a summary for Starlost, because just today appeared an incredible list of all the episodes of the show and its premise, and the like. Thank you greatly! --------- Ah, Cool. One of the best cartoon creations on television, he was created by Bob Kane, the *original* creator of Batman (the comic book). Cool's theme was somewhat like "Love is Blue", but (in my mind) much better -- more jazzed up. I'd love to get a copy of the soundtrack, if anyone's got a copy... --------- Cool McCool had his own theme song... C, O, C double-o, C double-O L MAC, COOL MAC COOL Danger is my business. --------- Solid gold to make you feel old! As I remember this, Cool McCool was a detective, who resembled the Pink Panther in that he was a real klutz, and usually ended up OK in spite of himself. I remember the beginning of the show - he was always just barely avoiding disaster, suavely tossing a "Danger is my middle name" or "Danger is my business" to his superior. This brings back memories. I can't beleive the crap that passes for Sat. morning cartoons these days. Mr T, smurfs ... gag ---------- I also remember a cartoon called Cool McCool. I don't remember much about it, however, but McCool was a detective or secret agent type. I remember that he had a car that would come whenever he whistled for it, or something like that. Thanks to Joe Loda, Marcus Hall, Ron Christian, and anyone else who answered my enquiry whose name I might have lost/forgotten. (I am using an archaic system here!) --Evan Marcus P.S. No response at all on the Dodo question... -- {ucbvax|decvax}|vax135|petsd|pedsgd|pedsga|evan There are two kinds of people in the world, those who divide people into two kinds, and those who don't.

Yes, and in the middle of the show was a different cartoon that was prefaced with the song: Now Number 1 trinks I'm a fool. Has no respect for the name MacCool. But in the days gone by there was Harry Mac Cool. Harry MacCool, he was my pop. My pop, the cop.
