The Adventures of Hyperman was an American animated TV miniseries which aired on CBS between 1995 and 1996. It premiered on September 16, 1995,[1] and ran for one season consisting of thirteen episodes. Each of these thirteen episodes in turn consisted of two segments, save for "Oceans a Leavin'," which ran for the entire episode's runtime.

The series was based on a 1995 IBM computer CD-ROM game called The Adventures of Hyperman. It centered around an alien superhero named Hyperman (voiced by Steve MacKall) and his dog Studd Puppy (voiced by Max Casella) who were sent to planet Earth to protect it. Teaming up with genius earthling Dr. Emma C. Squared (voiced by Tamera Mowry), who helps them learn about the planet, they battle villains that want to take over the planet, most notably the evil Entrobe (voiced by Frank Welker) and his minion Kidd Chaos (voiced by Maurice LaMarche). Each segment of the show also featured a brief "educational moment," where the story would momentarily stop and Dr. Squared would present the audience with some scientific facts relevant to the plot.

Currently, all 25 segments of all thirteen episodes are considered lost. While the CD-ROM on which the show is based is fairly easy to find online, none of the episodes have ever seen a home media release of any kind, and so far, no full episodes have been found posted anywhere online. The only known surviving remnants of the show are a set of three still images of unknown episodes of the show hosted at blastfromthepasttv.com[2] and two videos, posted to YouTube by user animegxyz, of portions of the Spanish dubs of two of the episodes ("Evil Brian" and "The Good, the Bad, and the Emmas"). The series and game are also believed to have had an accompanying website,[3] but it has yet to be seen if the site still exists on the Wayback Machine, as it is not known what its URL was.
