Production notes
Batman creator Bob Kane was the man behind this spy spoof/comedic adventure, which featured the animated exploits of Cool McCool, a gadget-wielding, trenchcoat-clad, 007-type who fought against an array of bizarre villains. Also in the show was Pop the Cop, the exploits of Cools' father and his Keystone Kops-like cronies.
Reviews
Cool McCool
Cool McCool *was* cool - spy gadgets, that coat, wacky villains, and the grooviest theme tune ever. The animation had a gritty noir feel to it, although it might be said it by less charitable souls that it was done on the cheap.
Sadly lacking in fame, Cool was nonetheless one of the greatest cartoon spies the world has ever known. Indeed, perhaps only one spy could match Cool, but sadly he and Secret Squirrel never joined forces...
