[net.games.trivia] Just little ol' me ... Underdog

*** REPLACE THIS dog WITH YOUR hero ***

Who remembers Underdog?  I loved it!

1: What was Underdog's identity and job in real life?

2: What was his sweetheart's name and job?

3: Name some villians.

I have a question that I have forgotten the answer to:

His quote at the beginning of the show was:

Not plane, nor xxxxx, nor even frog.  Just little ol' me ... Underdog.

What was the xxxxx?!?!   I forget and it is driving me mad.

For extra credit give the -entire- Underdog intro: words and the 
Underdog theme song (which I also forget most of).

  I DO!!!!!!!

  Lovable "Shoe-Shine Boy"--voiced by lovable Wally Cox, I think.
 
> 2: What was his sweetheart's name and job?

  "Sweet Polly Purebread," wasn't it?  And she was a TV news reporter.
 
> 3: Name some villians.

  "Simon-bar-Sinister" is the only one I remember (&he had this big henchman).

  I'll guess xxxxx="bird"--although I have a feeling you'd remember it if it
  were that easy.  

  Can't help you on the theme song, though.

Seeing how they were all dogs, it was probably Purebred.

   BIRD! (sort of easy if you ask me!)

Here are someof my own :

a) How did U.D. recharge himself?

b) How did S.P.P. call her hero U.D.?

c) Where did Shoe shine boy change into OUR hero, U.D.?


Have fun...

Here is the intro to Underdog as I remember it:

NARRATOR:  "One of the city's most humble and lovable citizens is
	   Shoeshine Boy."
SHOESHINE: (to customer) "All finished, Sir."
CUSTOMER:  "Thanks, Shoeshine Boy. You're humble and lovable."
SHOESHINE: "Bless you, Sir." (bites the coin he was paid with)
NARRATOR:  "Little do they know that whenever there is a cry for help..."
WOMAN:     (offstage) "Help, help!"
NARRATOR:  "...Shoeshine Boy rushes into a nearby phone booth and becomes..."
	   (phone booth explodes) "...the mighty UNDERDOG!"

Theme song:
	When criminals in this world appear
	Who break the laws that they should fear
	And frighten people far and near
	The cry goes out both far and near
	For Underdog! (Underdog!)
	Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
	Fighting all who rob or plunder,
	Underdog! Underdog!

Villians: Simon Bar Sinister and Cad, Riff Raff, the Mole King, the
	Electric Eel, the Clouds, the Witch, and the Saturn People.

Well-known couplets from Underdog:
	"There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"
	"I am a Hero who never fails, I can't be bothered with such details."
	"There's a secret compartment in my ring that I fill,
	 with an Underdog Super Energy Pill".

Closing lines:
MAN:    "Look, up in the sky! It's a bird!"
WOMAN:  "It's a plane."
GIRL:   "It's a frog."
UNDERDOG: "Not bird, nor plane, nor even frog,
	   It's just lil' ol' me..." (crashes into something)
	   "...Underdog."
