Mark threw a sort of bird-dart thing.
Ke-yop had some sort of bolo.
Jason drove the race car.

Zoltar was the great bad guy , who talked to some flaming face thing.
actually, they once took of Zoltar's helmet, but something really strange
happened, like the room lit up, and you couldn't see anything.

oh yeah, the narrator, 7 zark 7.  and his goofy robot dog.

oh yeah, they all had some sort of g-force rings.  it was cool.
one of the best cartoons of all time, imho.  I would be interested in 
videotapes as well.

To anyone interested, I was wandering through a K-mart on Wednesday and spotted
four new R & B video tapes.  These four are not part of the previous set of
eight (they don't have volume numbers or changed paintings on the front) but
they are the same format (R&B mixed in with Dudely, Mr. Peabody, etc.).  I
bought the longest one (63 minutes) which has the Banana Formula story on it.
 
P.S. If you buy all four you can send in the proofs of purchase for a free
Bulwinkle baseball cap.

The banter and card tricks around the table were great, they've built
characterizations for all these crazies, incredibly rare.  And that
trick with the shadow passing across Croc to reveal Bats, that was a
great touch!  Croc's lines were even funnier once you realized it was
Batman, as well.  But jeez, do you think the cops brought enough guns??

Agreed, silly story, but I really liked the animation here, also Ivy

watch.

There are a lot of little comic in-jokes, I'm having far too much fun
with this show :^) You know I voted for bringing back Batgirl (hey, I
even miss Supergirl), but I don't know why they'd need her with the
new Catwoman as romantic sidekick image, she's a lot more interesting
and the new costume even looks like Batgirl's to some extent.  But I
can't imagine it'd be for more than a show or two, anyway.  I'm not
complaining.

All in all, they sure packed a lot of fun into 22 minutes, eh?

Actually, Johnny Storm (a.k.a. the Human Torch) was replaced by 
Herbie because of the fear that [young] kids [with no brainpower
whatsoever],
in trying to be like their hero, would immolate themselves and try to 
perform superheroic feats.  To be perfectly honest, I couldn't see someone 
doing that, but then again, there are those old tales of kids leaping off
of
the roofs of their houses doing a Superman impression...

Well, I didn't rush home and watch my tape, but I had always thought that Boris 
Karloff did the singing as well as the naration/Grinch's voice.  However, my
animation books DO list Thurl Ravenscroft as the singer.  Perhaps the confusion
is a result of their being different versions of the soundtrack.  My tape has
a woman (June Foray according to my books ) do the voice of Cindy-Lou Who, but
on the old album I found it is clearly Karloff speaking Cindy-Lou's lines.

I don't mind the question, just the fact that three or four other people have
responded to your post...and they didn't know either.  Come ON, people,
let's see some snap out there.

The answer is obvious.  Before he was strapped to the coin, Batman was being
held in front of Two-Face by those bodybuilding twins.  Just a bit before
the commercial, he breaks away from them for a second and grabs Harvey before
the twins get ahold of him again.  In those few seconds, he lifted the coin.

Simple, huh?
I'll let it go this time...

Were they rings or wrist communicators?  My childhood memories seem to contain
a lot of episodes where Tiny took his off for a moment (a definite no-no) and
couldn't be reached in an emergency resulting in suspension from the team.
(I think there was also an episode where one of the 'force' removed their
communicator to infiltrate Spectra, and the rules are so strict that they
were suspended for this as well)

How about those funky outfits the team wore when they were 'off-duty'?
They all wore stipped bell-bottoms and football-type shirts with a number
on them corresponding to their position on the team.  And hey! weren't those
bird-head hoods hot?  Why else did the team look like they never washed their
hair? ;)

Well, thank you for your enthusiastic response.  The response was

I wouldn't like apathy to be the downfall of the group or anything,

My own list, with some recent help from Neil Collins is:

Things known to have music by Saban and Levy:
	Ulysses 31				1982
	He-Man					1983
	The Littles				1983

	The New Archies
	Super Mario Brothers

Things known (though not by me) to have music by Levy only:
	Saban's Little Mermaid
	Saban's Gulliver's Travels

Things from Saban Entertainment Corp. and possibly nothing
to do with Saban or Levy as far as music in concerned:
	Camp Candy
	Saban's Around the World in 80 Dreams
	Noozles
	The Litt'l Bits
	Pinocchio
	Maya the Bee
	X-Men

This survey still isn't over.  If you know more about those last seven

I like this one and always have, but if that is Boris singing, it is
definately not the singer from "How the Grinch Stole X-Mas".
I guess I can't prove it, but trust me. Thurl Ravenscroft did the singing
in the "Grinch"

established a "civilian" ID once using a pun on Jackanapes (a word for clown or

Adam West was listed in the credits as the voice of the Grey Ghost.  It
seems to me that a lot of well known people are "doing voices" for BTAS.

That's why this is the only TV show (animated or otherwise) I've ever
bothered to tape.  Forget about the part with Gordon getting shot and
all that other jazz (pun intended).  The characterizations and the
handling of Bruce's crisis of faith were superbly handled.

Uh-uh.  For one thing, she's going to become Batgirl later on (nice
foreshadowing when she says she'd like to "do something about it").

Well, yeah, he was kinda corny, but that final scene at the bus stop
illustrated an important point:  maybe Batman's right that he may not
be enough to save Gotham, but every bit he does still counts.

P.S.  Did you notice how the episode preview seemed to make this into
an "Action Packed!" episode?
