Story:

The series was a commercial half-hour format (22 minutes plus commercials), and each episode consisted of two self-contained 11-minute cartoon segments. It differed from the earlier incarnations of Mighty Mouse in many ways.

The show gave Mighty Mouse the secret identity of Mike Mouse, and a sidekick in the form of the orphan Scrappy Mouse (who knows the hero’s secret identity). The cast included heroic colleagues such as Bat-Bat and his sidekick Tick the Bug Wonder and the League of Super-Rodents, and introduced antagonists like Petey Pate, Big Murray, Madame Marsupial and the Cow. The original Mighty Mouse villain, Oil Can Harry, made a couple of appearances. Pearl Pureheart was not always the damsel in distress and many episodes did not feature her at all. Mighty Mouse’s light-operatic singing was eliminated except for his trademark, “Here I come to save the day!” (a trait previously used in The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and Heckle & Jeckle), which was sometimes interrupted. The tone of the show was much more irreverent than previous incarnations; the character of Bat-Bat, for example, was a bat who dressed as Batman and drove the “Man-Mobile” – a human-looking car with legs instead of wheels. In another episode, Scrappy Mouse expresses concern for Mighty Mouse’s whereabouts, but only because he owes Scrappy money.

Unlike other American animated TV shows of the time (and even Mighty Mouse’s past theatrical shorts), the show’s format was loose and episodes did not follow a particular formula. Some episodes offered parodies of shows like The Honeymooners (“Mighty’s Wedlock Whimsy”) and the 1960s Batman series (“Night of the Bat-Bat” and “Bat with a Golden Tongue”); movies like Fantastic Voyage (“Mundane Voyage”); Japanese monster films (the opening of “Mighty’s Wedlock Whimsy”); and comic books (“See You in the Funny Papers”). The series sometimes lampooned other cartoons (“Don’t Touch That Dial!”) and specifically Alvin and the Chipmunks (“Mighty’s Benefit Plan”).

The series resurrected other Terrytoons characters, but acknowledged the passage of time: perennial menace Oil Can Harry returns to chase Pearl Pureheart once more (“Still Oily After All These Years”), the 1940s characters Gandy Goose and Sourpuss and the 1960s character Deputy Dawg are revived (with Gandy and Dawg frozen in time in blocks of ice) in “The Ice Goose Cometh”, “Gaston Le Crayon” has a cameo (“Still Oily After All These Years”) and Bakshi’s own 1960s creations the Mighty Heroes appear, aged, in the episode “Heroes and Zeroes”. Fellow Terrytoons characters Heckle and Jeckle also made an appearance in “Mighty’s Wedlock Whimsy”.
