Did they 'update' the Underdog opening song?

newsposter · Nov 30, 2005

I caught an ep of this recently and the beginning isn't what I remembered. I think they dubbed a more 'hip' version of the opening? Is this possible or did I just not remember another original version of the song?

Where was Underdog on? Boomarang?

I've had Underdog on my wishlist for years, and the only things it ever caught were Rocky III and a Friends Thanksgiving episode. Where did you see Underdog?

A live-action/CGI movie is in development with a tentative 2007 release date.

Plot Outline: A lab accident gives a hound named Shoeshine some serious superpowers -- a secret that the dog eventually shares with the young boy who becomes his owner and friend.

Not that it was probably the version you heard, but the Butthole Surfers recorded a version of the Underdog theme song for the CD "Saturday Morning Cartoon's Greatest Hits".

Speed of Lightning, Roar of Thunder!
Stop who dare to rob or plunder!

The Butthole Surfers and Children's Television go together like Ebony & Ivory. How sweet.

Well looks like it's off the air as of 2006. They were just showing recent repeats anyways..guess they knew it was coming and figured why try to do a story.

That brought back old memories! I got to see some of them before they cancelled it, but I noticed they were just showing the same ones over and over.
