Saturday Morning Cartoon: Super Chicken

I've ben trying to post a Super Chicken adventure since I started this blog, but it's hard to find a good-looking copy posted on the internet.   I am finally giving up and am posting the best copy I can find of "Wild Ralph Hiccup" first broadcast in 1967.   Super Chicken was a component of the "George of the Jungle" TV show, produced by the legendary Jay Ward.  Ward had previously produced "Rocky and Bullwinkle" with a Mexican animation studio and was never completely satisfied with the sloppy animation of that series.   He produced "George of the Jungle" completely in Hollywood, which caused the entire project to go overbudget.   This ended up being Ward's last television series.   He ended his animation career by producing commercials for Cap'n Crunch and other breakfast cereals.   Pull up a a bowl of Quisp (or Quake, if you prefer) and watch "Wild Ralph Hiccup."   Enjoy!
