I'm a baby boomer from that period, so i will try my best:

One episode had an evil magician that used a key to activate Zodiac symbols in an amulet that he must have pinched elsewhere

Another episode - and my least favourite - has a bumbling genie apprentice called Baharum the Befuddled, might have also been the prototype for Baboo in the later 1973 "Jeannie" cartoon

An evil sorceress whose wicked deeds were undone as demons spew up from underground to take her, presumably, to Hades

Could think up more, but that is for another time...

I think I remember the one with the Evil Sorceress (though I'm sure there was more than one "Evil Sorceress" during the run of the series! lol!)

Anyway, the one I'm thinking of had a pair of magic gloves and used them to command all different kinds of demons to do her bidding and cause havoc. I can't remember if it was because she wanted Shazzan as her consort, but, in any case, she lured Chuck and Nancy to her island and engaged in battle with Shazzan when the summonsed him.

During the battle, the flying camel (Kaboobie) reached out and snatched one of the magic gloves and threw it to Nancy. Nancy put it on, and just as the Evil Sorceress was about to summons all of her demon army at once, Nancy commanded the magic glove to garble her speech, so the last half of the sorceress's spell came out as pure gibberish and nothing happened. Shazzan then summonsed a few of the demons to take the (now unintelligible) Sorceress back to the Underworld.

As Chuck, Nancy and Shazzan are discussing the outcome of the battle, Nancy suddenly blurts out, "I wish this whole thing had never happened!" forgetting that she's still wearing the magic glove. The glove instantnly starts to glow and Shazzan exclaims, "Oh hohohoho! Your wish is granted, little Nancy!" The cartoon then ends with the same opening scene of Chuck and Nancy flying on Kaboobie and Chuck commenting that it seems as if "it's happened before."


I remember there was also one with an Imp King or something who managed to get the halves of the ring away from Chuck and Nancy and (temporarily) to become Shazzan's master, and another with some dude who could control people's shadows (and ultimately the people themselves), but those are for another time....

It was a pretty far out show, even the clouds looked surreal.

The sorceress with the magic gloves was Nastrina of the Flames, if I remember correctly. I don't know where the flames came into it. Where can I get hold of a copy?
