Interesting; that is one cartoon that I never watched for some reason. Was probably on at the same time as something else I did watch, in a time long before VCR. We watched things like Fireball XL-5 and others that I will have to recollect. This was all in Fort Worth, Texas, and I know that our local market did not carry all programming that was available. But we did have Icky Twerp and Slam-Bang Theater; try to beat that.
I lied because I decided to do Kolchak: The Night Stalker next instead (it's in the queue). Spur of the moment decision. Glad you like these; most people have no idea as to what I am even talking about. Congrats on your cultural advancement!

I've been working down a list of such things and the Invaders is on there. Lots of ground to cover since most of these things are so old that most readers here have never even heard of them. My next was going to be The Travels of Jamie McPheeters (Kurt Russell!) but perchance I will look at The Invaders (which I used to watch religiously).
In the 1982 film _Poltergeist_, it is revealed that the character portrayed by JoBeth Williams is 32 years old, and she has a 16 year old daughter therein. I have personally known two people who were grandparents by age 30 so Jane Jetson will have to do better than that to impress me.
Great Heavens, Miss C., that wasn't even one of the scarier episodes. I was 11 when I saw The Zanti Misfits episode, and it was terrifying but not so much that I ran away from home. But I still think It Crawled Out of the Woodwork was the scariest of the bunch. That I recall anyway.
Sorry to hear of your childhood trauma but I knew there had to be some reason you took up blogging.
I think this episode was The Invisible Enemy, starring Adam West. It was scary at the time but today one sees that the creature was obviously a dummy and that the martian sand under which it lived was sawdust floating on water. See if this clip isn't it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIWCY3CvBio
Sounds familiar but if I have seen it before, it has been a long while. I haven't done Christmas specials since they canceled Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol (and the bastards still won't release it to YouTube). I'll have to check into it, thanks,.
J.R.R. Tolkien made revisions to The Lord of the Rings practically up to the end of his life and still didn't finish the job after nearly 20 years of continuous endeavor. The Hobbit, written by him over 80 years ago, is still an editorial mess.
I'm old enough to have watched these as a child and now the grandkids are getting introduced to what they would never otherwise know about. More coming!
