Tooniversary: Mystic Monster (Lassie's Rescue Rangers, 1973)

 Lassie's Rescue Rangers and Schoolhouse Rock were part of ABC's class of 1973, and turn 50 this year.

The Grammar Rock track, "Verb (That's What's Happening)", was posted several years ago. Meantime, Lassie and the Turners (Ted Knight, Jane Webb, Lane Scheimer, Keith Sutherland) are puzzled by the appearance of a "Mystic Monster" that is not what it seems to be.

Also includes commercials for Cocoa Pebbles (which we've shown before as well) and Cocoa Puffs. The "Parental Service Advisory" is Formula 1 driver Peter Revson shilling for Aurora's toy cars.


It plays like a standard live action Lassie from the period.

Rating: A-.
