Trans-Lux also distributed my favorite, The Mighty Hercules!

Being kids, we rewrote some theme lyrics, but all I can remember is "perfume in his farts" instead of "virtue in his heart." Theme was sung by Houston's own Johnny Nash, BTW.

Yeah, Johnny Nash, the same guy that sang "Secret Agent Man".

I loved Hercules. Remeber Zeus, Daedalus, Wilhemina, and Newton? That's me! That's me! Another Trans-Lux cartoon was my all-time after school favorite, Speed Racer. It came on at 3:00, and I remember running home every day (we got out at 2:50) to watch it. I had a crush on a cartoon character!

I dunno, I was REAL young when Kitirik was on, but I remember having a crush on her. LOL!! I also remember Cadet Don and the Casper cartoons Ch 13 used to show early mornings -- did not have a crush on him. LOL!!!! Anybody remember Captain Harold?

I think someone had brought up Captain Harold in another thread?

I cannot think of his real name but if I recall he would introduce late night B-movies? or was it Rock n Roll Bands? he was dressed like a fighter pilot with goggle sand scarf. Had a big mustache. I think he was sort of a local TV personality on Channel 26? I do remember seeing him dressed in business suits while on TV so he did more than just the Captain bit. He always had gorgeous women around him so either he was supplying them good stuff or ? Wonder what became of him, hope hes not in the Betty Ford Clinic like most of them.

This was also when they used to show The Three Stooges after Popeye & Mighty Mouse cartoons. Cant forget the After School Specials. See we did pretty good without any blasted cable TV.

His name was Harold Gunn. He lived in Houston for quite a while, as he was an alumni of Lee High School.
