h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I seem to have a vague memory of a television programme or series called "Mr.Terrific" I think probably shown on British tv around the early 60s.
May have been American,maybe not as it was a very long time ago.
I seem to remember that he was a superhero who flew out of his bedroom window or something supermanlike.
On asking friends they have no recollection of the existence of such a series.
Is this my imagination?

Can anyone out there confirm this?
And are there any other tv programmes memorable to your childhood?

I can't confirm your memories as I was but a twinkle in my fathers eye in the sixties

But Mr Ben always stod out, some wierd bloke goes into a fancy dress shop and has all these adventures.

Thundercats, Lost cities of gold, Ulysess 31 were all toons I made sure I was in the house for

"Thundercats are GO!"

Rings no bells with be, but the imdb lists it, and says your memories are accurate:

Ok so maybe I'm showing my age on this oneBut I'm almost positive that it existed.Maybe round the same time as the early british showings of Batman.
Mr.Ben wasand a classic and Thundercats was an excellent toon
and I'm sure has now reached cult status with the internet community young and (old).Ah the memories!

Hedrigall I unfortunately dont have a pc and cant see this link.
But I will take note of it and research later.Thanks

Artisan,

Here's a copy and paste job from the link

Stanley Beamish, the weakling proprietor of a Washington gas station, is also a top-secret super agent. When the Government's Bureau of Special Projects needs Stanley, he takes a pill that gives him an hour's worth of strength, courage and flying time.

my favourite was definitely Knightmare - and they're showing repeats on Challenge tv!

"enter, stranger..."

Bertha, Pigeon Street, Trapdoor, Stoppit and Tidyup, Mysterious cities of gold - all classics too!

That hit the spot.Its coming back to me!

Jumps up and down with glee.

Thanks.

Kilted Jedi..could you indulge me further with the year?

Knightmare was a classic. I think it was the program that started me shouting at the telly (oh hurry up surely you know what to do now or words to that effect)

Mary Mungo and Midge?
Roobarb and custard..the music to accompany this kiddies programme goes down in my book as one of the best!

May I briefly borrow a more accurate memory from someone,

Did 'The Tomorrow People' actually get to .....tomorrow by crawling under a hedge?

Anyone remember "The Tick"? (I'm 27, for the purposes of context, and for the purposes of my age ...)

A fantastic spoof superhero cartoon, which someday I'm going to write a guide entry on.

Spoooooon!

Artisan,
I believe it was 67 on the date in the link.

Didn't they have some sort of jauntbelt?

does anyone remember an 80s cartoon called Telebugs or something like that? 3 little robots with tv shaped faces - absolutely no one i ask ever remembers it but i'm determined to find someone!!

heres some more... Bananaman, Superted, Henry's Cat...

ah, nostalgia!

No, That was TIMESLIP. I used to LOVE that one!!

I watched a lot of German shows when I was little. So Puhmuckel and the mouse with the click-eyes is what brings back many memories for me. As well as that hungarian mole cartoon.

Oh no another cartoon springs to mind.
Calimero.A little chick(Italian?)
"It's an injustice it is"
Scheduled to come on just before or after Crossroads which has recently been revamped(they shouldn't have bothered)

I thought Calimero was a new invention.

Alf and Cosby Show is what I watched when I was little.
