Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: Underdog vs. The Witch of Pickyoon (1965)

 This 1st season episode of Underdog first aired around January 1965. This video collects all four chapters, which became the format when NBC repackaged the series in an all-rerun, done-in-one package until the series was cancelled in 1973.

Sweet Polly (Norma McMillan) is in the titular village when she falls under the spell of "The Witch of Pickyoon", and it's up to Underdog (Wally Cox) to find & rescue her. "Witch" borrows some of its plot from the classic "Sleeping Beauty":


Underdog turns 60 this year, but isn't getting the love.....!

Rating: B.
