DangerMouse is a British animated television series which was produced by Cosgrove Hall Films.
It features the eponymous DangerMouse, a British mouse that works as a secret agent. The show is a loose parody of British spy fiction, particularly James Bond and the Danger Man series starring Patrick McGoohan. The eponymous hero wears a rakish eyepatch and his chest is prominently emblazoned with the initials "DM". This causes problems for those translating the series into other languages, where a literal translation of the words "Danger" and "Mouse" do not share those initials; the Scots Gaelic version, for example, calls the series (and the lead) "Donnie Murdo" (two given names unconnected either with mice or danger). The Slovenian translation omitted the DM initials entirely, however, dubbing DangerMouse Hrabri mišek ("brave mouse").
DangerMouse was the first British cartoon to break into the American TV market, being shown in syndication on June 4, 1984, where it garnered a tremendous fan following that still exists. Since it went off air it has been periodically repeated and been released on DVD. In Australia, it first aired on ABC TV, then in 1996 it was on Network Ten. It was also the first British cartoon to break into Cheez TV, being shown on the weekdays.
Although rumours of a CGI revival of the show have persisted in recent years, no official announcements have been made.[1] The original DangerMouse is set to return to terrestrial television after the BBC recently purchased episodes of the series to broadcast in its daytime schedules with its first airing on 12th February 2007

I was watching this the other day with my girlfriend and couldn't believe how dodgy the landscapes were in the background.
The thing is, it's still a quality cartoon.
