an answer to the question about Do do.

it was on on Sunday mornings not Saturdays!!!! the bird was called Compo the Computer Bird but i can't remember the professor's name. the song went.... "Do do the kid from outer space, do do can go any place with propellers on his heels, antennas on his ears he's a science fiction pixie from a strange atomic place... do do the kid from outer space. It was supposed to be like a Japanese cartoon and was made for American audiences. Dodo was always there to save the day and do justice. he was very very good and could fly and could send messages with the antennas on the end of his ears. lazy brown fox jumped over the quick red fox jumped over the lazy brown dog.

A missed classic of my youth

Dodo, the Kid from Outer Space, was a regular Saturday morning staple for me and my friends back in the late 60's. A brilliantly inventive program, Dodo's short-lived TV life here in the States is symptomatic of creativity being the sacrificial lamb of the marketing department. Had Dodo been exploited commercially as was The Archies, maybe it would have lasted. I heard last that Dodo had been on cable in Europe a few years ago. Anyone else out there remember Dodo? Would Cartoon Network have an interest in this missed classic? Can this Kid be saved for posterity?

A fond memory

I remember watching this in Canada as a kid in the mid-'60s. It was on weekday afternoons.

Yeah, there was Dodo, and Compy the Computer Bird, and Professor Fingers. I recall that Professor Fingers had a coat with pockets that could hold anything he wanted to put in there. Compy could project educational films on the wall. I think there was one story where they encountered an alien world where the aliens cried when they were happy and laughed when they were sad. There was one story where criminals framed Professor Fingers by tricking him in to putting something incriminating in his pockets. It's been 45 years since I've seen this, so I don't remember everything clearly, but I think I recall the voice of Ed Bishop playing various characters.

Ah, memories.

Great catchy tune, that's about it

Last week I did an online search and found an episode of Dodo to watch.

While I still love the song - really catchy and the best part of the cartoon - the characters speaking in rhymes really got on my nerves.

The rhyming distracted me from the storyline. I hadn't remembered that the characters did speak in rhyme. My memory of the cartoon is really just the song. And how powerful and memorable all those cartoon songs are!

I don't think the cartoon has stood up to the test of time. Sometimes too how we remember something is better than the reality of it as an adult!

An old favorite TV series.

I used to watch this cartoon when I was a kid years and years ago when I was only 6. It was on every Saturday morning at 6 or 7AM. I remember DODO and his side kick bird (what's it's name?) and the professor (sound like Gigantor). Was it black and white or color? I only remember the theme that said "Dodo...Dodo, The kid from outer space.

They should try to make a classic cartoon channel for the old cartoons for us old die hard fans when cartoons where the Old good guys vs. the Bad guys.... Wouldn't it be fun to watch gigantor, Astroboy, Eight man, Dodo all in one day...

I would buy the 1st couple of videos once it hit the stores....

Trivia
This was one of the first British made animated series produced for television (albeit with an eye on the US market hence why it was made in color despite).
