Saturday Morning's Forgotten Heroes: The Arabian Knights in The Challenge (1968)

Borrowing an idea from the legend of Robin Hood, the writers of Arabian Knights opted against the obvious, and used "The Challenge" to showcase Raseem, the powerhouse of the team.



It wouldn't be the last time Hanna-Barbera would mine literature for story ideas. A majority of the episodes of World's Greatest Super Friends 11 years later were riffing on some literary classics by the likes of Jules Verne, among others.

Rating: A-.
