Among his best known television roles as a narrator are The Odd Couple, Super Friends, and Battle of the Planets.

Woodson had taken over the role of narrator from face-actor Ted Knight. Woodson narrated each subsequent Superfriends episode upon taking over from Ted Knight...narrating well over 100 episodes, including the 7 minute short subject episodes produced during 1980 through 1983. Perhaps his most memorable line from the series was the often-used phrase that accompanied a transition to scenes at the Superfriends' headquarters: "Meanwhile, at the Hall of Justice..." In addition, Woodson also supplied the opening narration and voice for several guest characters on Battle of the Planets. Woodson was the narrator for the miniseries adaptation of Herman Wouk's novel, The Winds of War, and its sequel miniseries, War and Remembrance. In this capacity, he was able to explain to the television audience the large-scale historical events that provide the context for the storylines of the two miniseries. Woodson is also the narrator of NFL Films' official film of Super Bowl II. The longtime voice of NFL Films, John Facenda, was unavailable, and Woodson stepped in. In recent years, Woodson, a California resident, has lent his serious-sounding voice to a series of humorous commercials promoting the Minnesota Twins. The ads have had titles like "The Minnesota Twins - Get to Know 'Em"; "Every Fan Counts"; and "This is Twins Territory".
