Speed Racer was a legendary flick, but I didn't care for Speeds character. I was more a Snake Oiler kid.

In jail with Awful Knofel. Changed from Evil to Evel.

(Sorry about the meeting. Meetings suck.)

Storyline

This show was on the original "Captain Kangaroo Show". It was about a boy that could change into whatever he wanted to. Along with Mighty Dog Manfred they fought villains.
Drawn in a simple black-and white style reminiscent of children's drawings, the show features a gee-whiz boy hero, Tom Terrific, who lives in a treehouse and can transform himself into anything he wants, thanks to his magical funnel-shaped "thinking cap," which also enhances his intelligence. He has a comic lazybones of a sidekick, Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog, and an arch-foe named Crabby Appleton, whose motto is, "I'm rotten to the core!"

What a hero!

That one was easy, had it in under a second. Huge Speed Racer fan.

But he's tied with Johnny Quest in my book.

The Evel Knievel Stunt Cycle was the best damned toy ever made. He was a marketing genius.
