I am surprised and pleased this board is so recently active. I just watched all the episodes via Netflix. I know they were geared for about a 10 year old audience, but I still enjoyed watching them. A great source of what clothing, hair styles, and even furniture were like in the late 1940's. And those outdoor scenes ... I wonder what they look like today? I hope they haven't been built up or over.
The actors, both heroes an villains, were interesting to observe. The ubiquitous Lyle Talbot as Commissioner Gordon, I remember him from so many shows from the 1950's and 1960's. Ozzie and Harriet, etc.
Robert Lowery as Bruce looked SO familiar that, as I continued watching the episodes, it dawned on me! Circus Boy!! Big Tim Champion!!! Loved that show as a child.
William Fawcett as Hammill. He was in the early Peter Graves series Fury as "Old Pete"
John Doucette as an uncredited henchman, from so many other shows. The last thing I remember seeing him in was Patton (1970) as one of the American generals.
Jane Adams as Vicki Vale was a bit of a stretch. She looked familiar, but I had to look her up here on IMDB. She was the hunchbacked nurse in House of Dracula.
