Title Card

The Original Adventures of SuperTed was SuperTed's official debut on television.

Intro

This intro appears at the beginning of every episode:

This is a story about an ordinary Teddy Bear.

When he was made, they found something wrong with him and threw him away like a piece of rubbish into an old dark storeroom.

Then from outer space, a Spottyman brought him to life with his Cosmic Dust.

He took him to magic cloud where Mother Nature gave him special powers.

That bear became SuperTed!
