Today I'm going to introduce many of you to one of the funniest cartoons you've probably never heard of: Roger Ramjet. Created in 1965 and voiced by Gary Owens, Roger Ramjet was the leader of the American Eagles, a group dedicated to keeping the world safe from evil. The animation is poor, but the direction and the writing more than make up for the low budgets. There were 156 five-minute episodes produced for syndication, and while everyone one isn't a gem, as a whole they are hysterical. The running gags alone are worth the price of admission. Here are two episodes chosen almost at random: "Hi Noon" and "Miss America." Enjoy!
