You kind of have to be a certain age to remember this Saturday morning fave. While the Spiderman theme was a classic, this one was (to my mind and memory) a classic as well. This video not only introduces the voice of the great Wally Cox as Underdog, but gives several examples of the opening with various villains.

"Look, up in the sky!"
"It's a bird!"
"It's a plane!"
"It's a frog!"
"Not bird nor plane nor even frog! It's just little old me...Underdog!"
:smug:

Firefly is a really outstanding series...I'm part of that long-time dedicated fan base. Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds is the single best starship commander in TV history. It's on Netflix at present (and yeah, the episode order is correct there) afterwards comes the movie. The theme music is admittedly pretty bad and in somewhat the same horrid style as that for ST Enterprise—although perhaps a bit more hillbilly in feel. The theme was actually written by show creator Joss Whedon (Buffy, Avengers etc.) himself. Greg Edmonson did the music and very effectively used some of the same Wagnerian leitmotif technique that was used to fine effect in the original Star Trek series. There is *lots* to like here.:thumbsup:
