Super Dave: Daredevil for Hire is an animated television series produced by DIC Animation City and Reteitalia, S.p.A., in association with Spanish network Telecinco.[1]

In the United States, the show premiered on September 12, 1992 on FOX.[2] 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. It was later shown in reruns on Toon Disney from 1998-2002.

The show starred and was based on the comedy of Bob Einstein and his Super Dave Osborne persona.[3] Both Bob Einstein and Art Irizawa provided the voices for Super Dave and his assistant, Fuji Hakayito, 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.[4][5]
