Super Chicken

1967 – 1970 19 episodes

Super Chicken, a.k.a. Henry Cabot Henhouse III, is an ordinary, run-of-the-coup millionaire fowl who became his alter-ego after downing some Super Sauce. With the help of his reluctant and cowardly lion pal, Fred, Super Chicken would fly around in his Supercoupe tracking down criminals. Fred, who wore a backwards "F" on his shirt and doubled as Henry’s butler, was always reminded by his employer, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred!"
