Toonfomercial: Nothing says spring like Glade? (1970's)

 Don't know the exact year for this spot for Glade air freshener, with husband & wife elves, but it makes you long for more of these to be revived in this era.

Korfftverse: Sigmund brings home a genie (Sigmund & The Sea Monsters, 1974)

 To kick off season 2 of Sigmund & The Sea Monsters, the producers decided to add a genie to the mix.

No, they didn't bring Weenie (Billie Hayes) over from Lidsville. Instead Sigmund (Billy Barty in the suit, voice by Walker Edmiston) finds a sea shell with a genie named Sheldon (Rip Taylor).......

Edmiston also took over as the voice of HR Pufnstuf when the dragon made a guest appearance at the end of the season.

Seasons 2 & 3 were comprised of 6 episodes each.

No rating. Just a public service.

Krofftverse: The Three Spaceketeers (Far Out Space Nuts, 1975)

 Barney & Junior (Chuck McCann & Bob Denver) help some wayfarers, but of course you know this could've helped their quest to return home, too. Here's "The Three Spaceketeers":

In memory of Patty Maloney (Honk), who passed away earlier this week at 89. No rating out of respect.

Toon Rock: Love is The Seventh Wave (1985)

 After the Police called it a day, bassist-vocalist Sting embarked on a solo career, and the hits just kept on rolling.

"Love is The Seventh Wave" takes Sting back to his roots as a school teacher, only in this case working with grade schoolers. Students from the Latchmere Jr. School in Kingston-upon-Thames designed the artwork.

Krofftverse: A complete episode of The Krofft Supershow (1977)

 As season 2 of The Krofft Supershow began, there were changes. For those coming in late, we'll refresh.

1. Kaptain Kool & The Kongs were down to a quartet with the departure of guitarist Flatbush (Bert Sommer), who had a falling out with the Kroffts between seasons.

2. Elektra Woman & Dynagirl and Dr. Shrinker were cancelled. Joe Ruby & Ken Spears created two new series to replace them---Magic Mongo & Bigfoot & Wildboy.

The lineup for the season premiere:

Bigfoot & Wildboy: A top secret government weapon is targeted by crooks, but Bigfoot (Ray Young) & Wildboy (Joseph Butcher) are framed. Marvin Miller fresh off doing some voice work on Land of The Lost, was the announcer-narrator.

Wonderbug: Season 2 opens with pitcher Don Sutton, then with the Dodgers, being abducted. Teammate Steve Yeager makes an appearance. Casey Kasem guest stars as one of the crooks. I think he'd filmed his appearance on The Hardy Boys-Nancy Drew Mysteries around the same time.

Magic Mongo: Len Weinrib has the title role as a bumbling genie. A love spell ends up with Lorraine (Helanie Lembeck, ex-Welcome Back, Kotter, and sister of Michael "Kaptain Kool" Lembeck (ex-Barney Miller)) chasing Ace (Bart Braverman). Larry Larson (ex-The Krofft Supershow) is a series regular.

Sounds like either Lousie DuArt (Nashville) is the show announcer (also the case on Tubi), but subsequent repeats that have appeared on YouTube have Michael Lembeck (as Kaptain Kool) reading the same copy.

No rating. Just a public service.

Retro Toy Chest: Roy Rogers presents a "quick shooting hat" (1961)

 Ideal contracted with Western legend Roy Rogers for a little novelty that was gone before the end of the 60's.

Roy Rogers' Quick Shooting Hat was just a passing fad.

From Comics to Toons: Richie Rich vs. The Blur (1980)

 Richie Rich (Sparky Marcus) is on the case when "The Blur" raids the mansion. 

Rating: B.
