Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire
Encyclopedia
Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire is a DiC
animated television series.
In the United States, the show premiered on September 9, 1992 on FOX
. The series was cancelled after its first season, but a special based on the series titled "The Super Dave Superbowl of Knowledge" aired on January 29, 1994.
The show starred and was based on the comedy of Bob Einstein
and his Super Dave Osborne
persona. Both Bob Einstein and Art Irizawa provided the voices for Super Dave and his assistant, Fuji Hakahito, and also appeared as their characters in live-action skits which ended each episode.
Halfway through the show's initial run, Irizawa was asked to modify his voice for Fuji, following complaints to Fox from Asian-American groups that the character was an offensive stereotype. Irizawa subsequently re-recorded his dialogue for all of the show's episodes.
At present, DIC has no plans to release the show on home video.
