There's no need to fear...
We've been watching the Underdog show on Boomerang lately. I used to watch it as a kid, of course; it was one of my favorites.
The part I liked best was the theme itself, of course - one of the best of any cartoon, in my opinion. So I was particularly dismayed to discover that the Boomerang broadcasts did NOT have the original theme, but rather a horrible instrumental version that sounded like they were played by an amateur on a cheap sythesizer - simply awful!
"But maybe the originals sounded so horrible that they HAD to be replaced", I thought, and did a little research. Here's what I found:
NOTHING - no explanation anywhere of why the Underdog show was altered. No one on Usenet or on the web seems to have noticed the change. There's nothing in Google News, not that I expected there to be. Even the most popular Underdog websites have nothing at all about the substitution.
What's more, I checked my own hard drive and found a good-quality mp3 of the opening theme, and a decent one of the closing theme.
Lest we forget...here they are.

I hate the litigiousness of America.
