[net.tv] Abridged summary of Cool McCool collection

evan@petfe.UUCP (Evan Marcus) (04/29/85)

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!)

P.S. No response at all on the Dodo question...

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.
