When I saw it the other day it really hit me...... I used to watch this show when I must have been about four. They must have showed some early morning repeats way back in the early 80's.
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!
For some reason I just can't get myself to watch this show again. When it's on I have a hard time sticking with it. It's just not the same as when I watched it in the 80s.
::sigh::
The theme song is great though. :)
The clip with that guy, Friar Tuck maybe, gobbling up all that food on the table really stuck in my memory. I've never forgotten that image, with this hands shovelling all that stuff into his mouth. That with the music playing. Strange.
