Off topic, but Mattel just paid $460M for toy maker Mega Brands in friendly takeover. The story is on CTV news. Might interest someone.

I have a CD with the theme to Mission Magic and a few of the other songs from the show. They turned up on some budget CDs from foreign countries in the 80s. You can download those songs on Amazon.

I recently bought a DVD of Ark II. I didn't watch the show very much when it aired, but I realize what a great show it was. Too bad the clips of it get trashed on You Tube.

One show that I loved as a kid, although you guys might called it an "imp" show, was The Secret Life of Waldo Kitty. What is interesting about that show is the characters in his fantasies, with the exception of Robin Hood, were characters that Filmation eventually made a cartoon of (Batman, Tarzan, Star Trek, Lone Ranger). However, they didn't get the okay from James Thurber's estate.

That's what I get for posting in the middle of the podcast. You just mentioned the Bradys. *G* They had a dog, Moptop, Ping & Pong (the pandas) and Marlin, a magic talking bird. The theme song is out on You Tube.

Enjoying today's podcast. The Groovie Goolie 'live action' movie was actually one of the 'Saturday Superstar Movies'. Also included with those was the pilot for the 'Brady Kids' cartoon, which was Filmation, too, I believe.
