This was an English cartoon and...like The Mysterious Cities of Gold I am really the only one of my friends in Chicago that ever saw it as a child, or really at all until it came on Netflix.
And everyone I know in the UK has seen it.
However, unlike The Mysterious Cities of Gold I remember exactly where I saw it...the local video store here in Chicago (which has disappeared like so many others) had a collection of Danger Mouse videos on Betamax.
We had a Betamax.
Between French, Japanese, and English cartoons I was an international child...
Honestly though, the show is sort of a "what if Nick Fury was British...and a Mouse...and also Sherlock Holmes with a side kick what was either a hamster or a mole and very much like Dr. Watson." Like I said, it was an English cartoon and proudly so.
It also wasn't bad. In fact it was so good that, up until we got a VHS the library of Danger Mouse cartoons and the Secret of Nimh were the only things I rented.
And now that it is on Netflix, you know what? It's still fun.
