By Bennet Pomerantz VINE VOICE on August 8, 2011
When I was a kid, Saturday mornings was a holiday for kids,especially after a hard week at school. Animation (with such shows as (Jonny Quest - The Complete First Season, Space Ghost and Dino Boy: The Complete Series, Ruby-Spears Superman, and The Best of the New Scooby-Doo Movies ) and live action fare as (The Monkees: Season 1 and H.R. Pufnstuf - The Complete Series) ruled tha airwaves on Saturday mornings. It was a time when Children's fare were on all three networks (ABC, NBC and CBS)..and there was NO cartoon Network or Cable networks.

One show, in my opinion, that did not last long, but I enjoyed a lot was Frankenstein Jr & The Impossibles. Each ahow were three separate cartoon adventures in 30 minute format...usually two Frankenstein Jr cartoons and an Impossibles cartoon sandwiched inberween.

Frankenstein Jr was a cartoon similar to Johny Socko, a live action Japanese import which a boy and his giant robot who fought crime.

I bought this one a few weeks ago off the wbstore. Having my doubts it was not a rip off from some tv station; I was extremely pleased that it is not. Fairly well put together although I would have enjoyed more menu/episode control (it plays as the show originally aired, first Impossibles episode then a Frankenstein Jr. then the second Impossibles), oh then repeat. This being said I was pleasantly surprised. Now I always liked the Impossibles so please take that into account when you decide if you want this one. I give the shows 10 of 10, and the recording 10 of 10. If you liked Franky and the Impossibles before you will like them now, and I give this release the full 5 stars for both the shows as well as the DVD release.

Isn't this great? Thanks to the concept of video on demand, all us Sixties kids (and younger converts) can enjoy the favorite toons of our youth in a compact format. True, the picture quality is variable, but it's still better than most of the recorded-off-TV copies we've had to make do with. The freaky fun of these shows still shines through, from the tongue-in-cheek heroics of Buzz and Franky to the demented spoofery of the Impossibles. Full marks to the great voice work by Paul Frees, Ted Cassidy, Dick Beals, etc; Alex Toth's inventive designs; and, as always, Hoyt Curtin's music.

The only real flaw in this set is the extremely uninformative menu, which uses episode numbers (1A, 1B, etc.) instead of titles. I don't get the point of that, since it makes it 'impossible' to zero in on your favorites. To get around this, I sat down and went through both DVD's, making my own episode guide; if any of my fellow Hanna-Barberians would like to make use of it, I am posting it in the 'Comments' section of this review.

This is just a minor caveat, though; it's a wonderful collection!

This was one of the hippest cartoons around. It helped my creativity and made me feel I could do anything. Yes, I was only 3 when I first encountered this show. I also remember watching it at my grandmother house in Detroit before it went away. I remember seeing the tall glass buildings and wondering if I might catch a glimpse of Frankenstein Jr. flying around. Its just as potent as it was in 1967!

The Impossibles were super heroes like no other. They were a rock band who doubled as crime fighters! A.M. Radio was very pop oriented and kid friendly. I could relate to their world. I always loved the bad guys and their dirty tricks. I couldn't wait for the Impossibles to leap into action and stop them.

Frankenstein Jr. was Buzz Conroy's invention. Wow, to be a boy genius and live in this futuristic world was what I aspired to be. I loved his laboratory on that mountain. Today, I find Buzz a little overbearing. Ted Cassidy's voice for Frankenstein Jr. is perfectly matched. The animation is a bit different than what was to follow. It was easy for little minds and eyes to devour.

This cartoon vanished due to concerned parent groups finding it too violent. Is outsmarting bad guys violent? Thank you Warner Brothers for bringing back a distant memory. Saturday Morning magic is forever preserved.

The sixties were the silver age of animation. The early Hanna-Barbara cartoons were representive of this.

Combining the Beatles fad and superheroes, this three some of heroes: Multi-Man, Fluid Man, and Coil Man fight evil each week (two segments per episodes). Usually taking the shape of a rather typical supervillain who either wants to rob banks or take over the world. Granted this gets routine, but do supervillains act any other way.

Alongside the Impossibles and sharing the middle segment is Frankeinstein Jr. A huge superhero robot (voiced by Addam's Family Ted Cassidy's Lurch) created by Professor Conroy to assist his son, Buzz in fighting crime and evil doers.

Outside of the outlandish, colorful animation; the best thing about the series is the great voice talent. Dick Beals, Paul Frees (who does the opening narration), Don Messick, John Stephenson. The best of the best.

There isn't a great deal of character development in this series. But it does have a great theme song, some great gags, and some really awesome voice talent. Did I mention it's colorful?

Just after this came out on DVD, Depatie-Frelings' Secret Six came out on digital. Now if only Mighty Mouse and the Might Heroes could make it out.

Fun series for kids and for fans of the sixties.
