“Danger Mouse” was a British cartoon that parodied spy stories. It ran over 161 episodes from 1981 to 1992.
The program went into global syndication. U.S. viewers first saw “Danger Mouse” in 1984, when it aired on Nickelodeon. Fox-owned TV stations also carried the show.
Here’s an episode from the series’ original run:
A rebooted version of “Danger Mouse” began in 2015 on CBBC, the BBC’s children’s channel.
A spin-off, “Count Duckula,” ran from 1988 to 1993.
Not to be confused with the guy from Gnarls Barkley, Danger Mouse is like a child’s primer both for James Bond and British humor…but with jokes just for adults, as well. With his timid assistant Penfold, DM kept the streets of England safe for democracy, really putting the MI(6) in “Mice.”
