Saturday School: Space Academy: Hide & Seek (1977)

A Space Academy mission team intercepts a meteor headed for the school's asteroid home, but, after that, strange things begin to happen. Here's "Hide & Seek":



Peepo was credited to "E. C. S.", the initials of actress Ericka Scheimer, Lou's daughter, who was a contributor to Fat Albert at the time, as we've documented, and she would take on a production job on Jason of Star Command the next season.

One of the hallmarks of Filmation's live-action product (1974-80) was the lack of cheesy effects, except for the short-lived Ghost Busters. Veteran director of photography Aldric Edens, who'd worked for Jack Webb in the 60's and early 70's (i.e. Dragnet) was brought in for this series, and Jason as well.

Rating: B+.
