I knew George would know it. That's funny about Speedy. I doubt he was saying 'jeepers' every 5 minutes like Jimmy Olsen did, though.

I think he said it three times in the half-hour! Anyway...

I hope this goes in one quote, too, because I'm having trouble finding others

"Eddie, kiss me goodnight!"

We're going to hold you to that.

This one was bit obscure, but I bet hiway and WW watched it...

"This is a democracy, Mr. Ibid. We can arrest people for practically anything."

"When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark."

"Oh, every little kid's afraid of the dark."

"During the day?"

No, though the political subtext might have given you that idea. This show only ran one season, in the late 60's. Here are a couple more quotes.

"There's a would-be killer up there! Somebody get the police!"

"You are the police!"

"I certainly got here fast."

"What you're proposing is illegal, immoral and just plain rotten!"

"That's dandy; other mothers have sons that invent steamboats and telephones and things. Mine invents a lettuce machine."

"This is a democracy, Mr. Ibid. We can arrest people for practically anything."

"When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark."

"Oh, every little kid's afraid of the dark."

"During the day?"

Not "Sledge Hammer" (about two decades too late). Too bad hiway disqualified himself, because these lines from the opening sequence would (hopefully) have given it to him:

"It's the man who flies like an eagle!"

"It's the man with muscles of lead!"

"It's the masked enemy of all evil!"

"Are you kidding? It's some nut in his underwear."

"That's no ordinary nut, son. That's..."

"There's a would-be killer up there! Somebody get the police!"

"You are the police!"

"I certainly got here fast."

"What you're proposing is illegal, immoral and just plain rotten!"

"That's dandy; other mothers have sons that invent steamboats and telephones and things. Mine invents a lettuce machine."

"This is a democracy, Mr. Ibid. We can arrest people for practically anything."

"When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark."

"Oh, every little kid's afraid of the dark."

"During the day?"

is it ok if I add a hint ? Just like 'the Addams Family" and 'the Munsters" appeared at the same time-this show appeared at the same time as a similar-less funny, one did. They were both jumping on the Batman, comic book craze, and sank almost as fast.

Coincidentally, both shows (on different networks) debuted the same day and were canceled the same day (I think).

If this show never appeared in syndication, then I never saw it.

My television-watching days started in the 1970s.

I'm wondering if it was something like "Spy-Smasher" or "Mister Scarlet".

One or both of them had a short-lived television show.

This wasn't an ANIMATED show, right?

To steal a phrase from ANOTHER show, I'm just going to "flip over all the cards" here. The show was "Captain Nice." Carter Nash was a chemist with a potion that gave him super-powers. When he first used it, the explosion blew off his outer garments, leaving him in long johns and a belt. When asked what the "CN" on his belt buckle meant, the only answer he could come up with was "Captain Nice," much to his mother's dismay.

At the same time, "Mr. Terrific" (not associated with the DC Comics character), with a similar story line, was carried on another network. Both shows lasted less than one season.
