Superman fans are complaining that Underdog should be sued for
being a copy of Superman.

Get it through your heads. It's a parody, not a copy.

If there weren't any scenes in it that were a parody of Superman,
then it wouldn't really be "Underdog".

"Look up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane. No, it\s
Superman" (from the various Superman series')

"Look up in the sky, it's a bird. |It's a plane. No, it's
a frog" (from the original Underdog tv series)

Clark Kent always running into the inside of a phone booth
to change into Superman. (from various Superman series').

Shoeshine boy always running into the inside of s phone
booth to change into Underdog. And the phone booth explodes
every time he does. (from the original Underdog tv series).

Superman regularly saying "It's up, up, up and away I go"
(from various Superman series).

Underdog regularly saying "It's hip, hip, hip and away I go.
(from the original Underdog tv series)

Actually copyright protection extends to the copyright holder for 70 years
after his death.

But I agree that underdog is a parody.
