[edit] Synopsis
The show followed the popular SuperTed, a British cartoon of the early 1980s. The title character was a poorly put together teddy bear who became the best friend and partner-in-crimefighting of Spottyman, so named because he hailed from the planet Spot and had several green polka dots covering his yellow body.
Spottyman took Ted to Mother Nature, who endowed the cub with super powers and a costume, giving Ted the ability to fly, fight crime, and bring adorable justice to everyone. In every episode, Spottyman and Superted battled villains such as Texas Pete and the Skeleton, sometimes with the aid of Spottyman’s sister Blotch or Speckle the Hoparoo.
[edit] Parodies of all apects of American culture
The show poked fun at all aspects of American culture, from the Grand Ol' Opry to Star Wars. Jon Pertwee, who was the voice of Spotty of the British series, was the only actor to provide the voice of the same character in the American version.
[edit] Cancellation
The Further Adventures of SuperTed was cancelled after one series of thirteen episodes.
