It's worth watching. I think it's on Youtube now. I think that Ted Eccles is now a movie producer.

The kids love F Troop, right?")<br /><br />Meanwhile, their cartoons from this period were timeless. Superfriends survived over a decade, which is not how Filmation usually does things. It even survived for a year after the complete cosmic death and rebirth of the source material.<br /><br />The other show from this era that I remember is, what was that show with the fat kid and all his friends being educational? I can't remember its name or its creator. (I hope everyone understands what I'm doing and doesn't think I can't actually remember.)<br /><br />Oh, and a cartoon version of the Wizard of Oz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-27032729227707417392020-08-11T05:04:18.285-04:002020-08-11T05:04:18.285-04:00I thought the Gorton's fisherman was Denny Mil...I thought the Gorton's fisherman was Denny Miller, who played the hunky surfer on an episode of "Gillgian's Island"NYSocBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658785942817017972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-74633787723997471272020-08-10T22:02:11.934-04:002020-08-10T22:02:11.934-04:00I saw most of these shows, too.

Through modern eyes, the Filmation titles (Ark, Academy, and to a lesser extent Jason) suffer from 70's/80's Saturday TV's desire to be educational and non-controversial, and what an Amazon reviewer (each was released on DVD) characterized as being "amusingly naive". Jason likely existed because Academy bombed and the producers were looking for a way to reuse the SFX footage and sets. The Kroft stuff was usually better. I'd recommended these actors' other venues vs. pining for their Saturday morning work. Oh, and Craig Littler's costar on Jason, Charlie Dell (Professor E.J. Parsafoot), went on to become the TV Gorton's fisherman!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814549419838495324.post-65536675152668331402020-08-10T09:30:06.429-04:002020-08-10T09:30:06.429-04:00I saw most of these shows!

Peter Bergman is credible as Jack, but my favourite was Terry. And Terry looks sexy in a speedo!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
