I was glued to this show when it aired in 1968-1969, and was so disappointed when it was cancelled. I know some might take issue with the mix of animation and live action, but this was made 50 years ago at this writing, and the technology wasn't there, period. Given that, I thought Hanna-Barbera really did something innovative for prime time television.And the plots weren't at all bad.I give special credit to the main cast for making this show really work. All of them, from Kevin Schultz to Ted Cassidy, made this show special. It should have done better, being the lead-in to the Disney anthology series, but all three networks had a very competitive night on Sundays, and I am sure this series didn't come cheap, especially with all that green screen work they had to do, because of the animation. By comparison, an episode of The FBI looks like a real bargain basement in terms of production costs.That said, however, this was a special show that deserved better, especially given how it pushed the production envelope and given its fine cast!!!

Am I the only one who thought this series really stunk? Cheesy animation, silly plots, even as a 9-year-old, it gave me a queasy feeling. And I loved cartoons, science fiction and both "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn," all of which were elements of the series. But combining a conventional Twain character with far-fetched fantasy plots was a nauseous mix. I think this is a great example of Hanna-Barbera's cartoon heresies that drug animated films to their historical low point. The mixture of animated and live action is a very difficult concept to pull off. "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" is a good example of where it worked well. This is an example of where it failed miserably.

To whom it may concern,Thanks for your article. This live-action/cartoon was a lot of fun and ahead of it's time. I agree it's a shame that it didn't find an audience on Saturday morning t.v. because I remember enjoying it very much as a child. However, I was surprised to see it once again after 35 years on Italian television. It's shown weekdays in the middle of the afternoon,just after school has let out. Everything dubbed in Italian of course, but still holds up really well. Who knows,if it stays on long enough this time maybe one day my kids will watch it and I can tell them all about it's origins in America.Tim Sarris

This was a highly innovative show at the time it was released. This was one of the first shows to mix live action and animation and it will always be one of my favorites. Too bad it is not shown anymore. Someone should write to the Cartoon Network and demand that this be shown. This is definitely a lost classic of animation.
