Mach 5.
For those who don't know, "Speed Racer" was an early to
mid-sixties cartoon which looks like Japanamation but the plots and
stereotypes seem to be more late-fifties American (in other words, pretty
much _all_ stereotypes).
The basic storyline is that the hero, "Speed" Racer, would go all
around the world to less and less plausible auto races, and usually end up
having to do some detective work as well. And, of course, there was
always some girl who fell for him.
It was shown on MTV for a while, might still be.
