Narrator: The city of Townsville is on fire!


Narrator: The fire is out, and Townsville is saved, thanks to... The... uh, no. Thanks to... No... Wait. Maybe over here? No. Wait a-- Wait a second. Who did save Townsville?


Narrator: Wow! Now, that's a hero! Sorry, girls. Looks like Townsville's got a new protector. Major Man!

Dates are in order of release:

  • United States: January 6, 1999 on Cartoon Network

Behind the scenes

  • The George Jetson lookalike (from The Jetsons) actually talks, and disappointedly, doesn't sound like George Jetson. Tom Kane isn't explicitly credited as the voice, either.
  • Yes, that's right, Major Man is a Superman parody. One man cries, "Look, up in the sky," which is a reference to the line spoken in the introduction to the 1950s TV series The Adventures of Superman.
  • Talking Dog is credited as "Dog."

Errors

  • When the girls cotton onto Major Man's act when he slips up on TV, Blossom says, "Did you hear that," and Buttercup says, "Yeah," but both lines come out of Blossom's mouth.
