To show that Hanna-Barbera was not afraid to skewer its own line of adventure cartoons, including comedy heroes like Atom Ant & Peter Potamus, we have Abbott & Costello as space detectives battling "Sinister Professor Sinister" (Don Messick).
The bit with the ant tossing Costello (Stan Irwin) around, followed by Costello doing the same to Sinister and his robot, is a call back to Atom Ant, but the episode skewers the superhero genre in general. Bud Abbott isn't given much to do other be the team leader and power up his friend.
Rating: B.
