Tom & Jerry get mixed up with a washed-up superhero, Supercape (Don Messick), in this 1975 short. Supercape, of course, is a parody of Superman. John Stephenson narrates and voices the police chief. The narrative, ironically, is another parody, this one of Dragnet, which Stephenson served as an announcer for a few years prior.
Rating: B.

As an adult I get the jokes a bit better. This is far from the genius of the Jay Ward stable, but a better T&J ep than most.
If they did more of these satires, then maybe the series lasts longer.
