Synopsis:

Rocket Robin Hood holds the distinction of being the first cartoon series based on the legendary English hero to appear on television.

In this series, a distant ancestor of Medieval England's Robin fought for justice in the year 3000 A.D. The younger Hood made his home on Sherwood Asteroid, had his own band of merry men (many with the same names as the old Robin's English cohorts) and continued the quest to rob from the rich and give to the poor.

Rocket Robin may have been a man of his technological age, jetting about in a custom rocket, but you wouldn't know it from his clothes. The new-fangled Robin kept the old-fangled Robin's retro sense of style, dressing in his trademarked green costume. He was even lucky enough to find a Maid Marian to impress with his swashbuckling skills, but also around was the dastardly Sheriff of N.O.T.T. (National Outer-space Terrestrial Territories), who constantly tried to thwart Robin's do-gooder plans.

Paving the way for later animated adventures like Young Robin Hood and Robin Hoodnik, Rocket Robin Hood ran for 52 original episodes, each divided into three five-minute segments.

Opening Lyrics:

"Come gather around me. Space travelers surround me.

Hark now to the ballad of Rocket Robin Hood.

I may well confound you, astound you, spellbound you,

with heroes and villains, the bad and the good.

Watch now as our rockets race here from afar.

For now, with our Robin, we live on a star.

Three. Two. One. Blast off!

Band of brothers, marching together.

Heads held high in all kinds of weather.

With fiery blasts, our roaring rockets rise,

beyond the Earth, beyond the skies!

At the sight of Robin, take your stand,

with the gallant leader of our band.

Send a joyous shout throughout the land!

For Rocket Robin Hood!"
