Saturtainment: A complete episode of Linus The Lionhearted (1965)

 Following is a rerun compilation from season 1 of Linus The Lionhearted. Note that the audio is a wee bit behind the video. 

Framing sequence: Linus (Sheldon Leonard) wants to take a group picture with his friends, but it seems Billy Bird (Carl Reiner) is feeling a wee bit jealous.

1. Linus in "Travel is Broadening" (1st shown in November 1964): Billy tries to teach Linus about traveling.

2. Rory Raccoon in "Rest Cured" (January 1965): Rory (Bob McFadden) has to deal with a pesky crow.

3. Lovable Truly in "Dog Gone" (January 1965): Truly (McFadden) searches for a missing dog, although the cat that shares the dog's home wouldn't mind if the pooch never returned.

4. So-Hi in "The Giant With 2 Glass Jaws" (January 1965): That giant has 2 glass jaws because it's a 2-headed giant. Bob McFadden also voices So-Hi.

In addition to the cast's usual ads for Post cereals, boxing legend Rocky Graziano plays a cowboy shilling Raisin Bran with the Raisin Counter.


Apparently, Rocky wasn't convincing enough as a cowpoke, and he spent the 70's shilling for Lee Myles, a NYC dealership.

Rating: B-.
