Yes, The Monster Squad turns 50 this year. To mark the occasion, the team deals with a master of disguise named No Face (Edward Andrews), who has impersonated the Mayor to declare crime legal.
The villain is a knockoff of an old Batman villain, False Face. Sid Haig co-stars.
William Hanna "supervised" (read: directed) "What a Lion", a Captain & The Kids short for MGM.
Seems the Captain (Billy Bletcher) and the Inspector are out in the jungle, and the kids have a little fun......
Due to anti-violence regulations, DC couldn't license out any of Captain Marvel's foes for Shazam!. While Mister Mind likely could've been used via animation (and he'd come along in 1981), the Captain had the same issues that Superman had before him, but also took the time to rescue endangered animals, such as a dog trapped in a burning room.........
From season 2 of The All-New Popeye Hour:
The Popeye Sports Parade sends Popeye (Jack Mercer) back to the rodeo, but this time, he & Bluto (Allan Melvin) aren't dueling over Olive. Instead, they're competing to become "King of The Rodeo":
Something tells me this Three Musketeers entry might've had a hand in developing the basic plot for Scooby-Doo, which bowed the next year.
Anyway, phony ghosts robbing coaches? Yeah, that tracks.
From season 3 of CBS Storybreak:
Johnny Gruelle's Raggedy Ann & Andy hadn't been seen in a few years when their adventure with "The Camel With The Wrinkled Knees" was adapted in 1988 as the pentultimate episode of the series. Host Bob Keeshan must've known the end was near, as he never mentioned the book by name in his intro.
The revival of Storybook Squares began in the summer of '76 on Hollywood Squares. The gameplay format had change to allow three generations of families to play the game.
This time around, the rules were bent to allow for William Shatner to reprise as Captain James T. Kirk (Star Trek), while the rest of the panel were in costume as various characters such as:
John Byner as the Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland). Byner paid homage to Disney's adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic by impersonating Ed Wynn, who voiced the Hatter in the movie.
Bonnie Franklin (One Day At a Time) as Peter Pan.
Rip Taylor as Rip Van Winkle.
Roddy McDowell as Sherlock Holmes.
Doc Severinson (The Tonight Show) as the Angel Gabriel.
Julie McWhirter (fresh from The Rich Little Show) reworked the Family Hour Fairy into the Good Fairy.
Joan Rivers as Little Red Riding Hood.
Charo as Lady Godiva.
Paul Lynde missed this week of tapings due to other commitments, hence Byner occupying the center square.
