Roger Ramjet.

They used to play these on the Filipino TV station when I lived in Angeles city . I understand that Roger popping a Proton Energy pill (giving Roger the power of 20 atom bombs in ten seconds)caused quite a few kiddie overdoses so I never saw these in the US

Actually, Roger Ramjet was an American creation, produced from
1965 to about 1970 and in syndication right from the start. The
people who put it together (it was never backed by a big name)
were mostly from Lompoc in southern California--right next to
Vandenberg Air Force Base. It's no longer shown often in the
USA, but I'm told it's now big in Australia. BTW, the producer's
name was Fred Crippen.
