Anyone remember Rocket Robin Hood?
Info on the show here.
It was a space version of Robin Hood done in the 60's. And it was done by the same people that did the 60's Spider-Man cartoon.

Yes, I remember it fairly well. Watched it quite a bit as a kid. I think I can still remember some of the music they used in particularly dramatic scenes - and that might have been used in some other shows or cartoons as well - maybe the Spider-Man cartoon?

Yes! This used to be on UK kids TV in the very late '70s or maybe the early '80s. I never thought it was amazing or anything, I but I used to enjoy it.

Nous marchons tous de fière allu-re..."
I loved the show as a kid. I always dreamed of eating like friar Tuck: biting into a chicken leg and throwing the rest over my shoulder.
I didn't realize at the time that these cartoons were barely animated or that the same shots were endlessly reused (I swear, how many times can thse giant robotic ants turn up???) and I was enthralled.
I guess I can't blame my own kids for having been fascinated by the Teletubbies, then, who didn't have much more of a plot!

This Rocket Robin Hood episode here is interesting:
It has a FLASH GORDON feel to it as the villain in it is called "Ming" and he even looks like Ming the Merciless.
