Oh yeah? How did Sky King short out the house's electrical system and
catch the bad guy in the dark?
And for a real model trivia question, where did the Jet Jackson (AKA
Captain Midnight) model jet they used in the flying scenes in the series
come from?
That's a neat story.

Heard them, sharp stuff - especially "Hot Rod Lincoln".
And now, the answers to our vintage TV pop quiz:
1. Sky King shorted out the electrical system in the house by unscrewing
a light bulb and inserting a copper penny between the light bulb itself
and the socket; when the bad guy hit the light switch in the room this
shorted out the socket and caused the fuse to blow, leaving the room in
darkness.
...and now, the really fun one....
2. The model used in the aerial scenes from Jet Jackson/Captain Midnight
is the original Douglas wind tunnel model that was used in in the
development of the D-558-2 "Skyrocket" supersonic jet/rocket research
plane, back when the design had a flush canopy like the original Bell X-1.
Now let's see if you are _really_ one of  The Old Masters who had Revell
"S" cement on your fingers as a kid and have studied the True Faith
enough to be allowed into the Elder Brotherhood Of Modelers:
Complete the lyrics to this incredibly catchy song: "They took the blue
from the skies, and a pretty girl's eyes, and a touch of Old Glory too..."
Or this song: "Chase the clouds, follow a star, 'round the world isn't
too far..."
What sort of helicopter did the "Whirlybirds" fly?
What aircraft did "Sky King" fly?
What things did the control knobs on Commando Cody's rocket belt chest
control panel allow the the operator to adjust?
What movie was Flash Gordon's spacecraft in the movie serials originally
built for? (clue - a boy and girl sing a love song as two flies get
ready to screw...okay, that's not much of a clue...so how about this
line from that movie: "I was a farmer's daughter, your honor... and he
was a son of a...")
You do realize that if you can't answer these questions, there is only
one way for you to enter The Elder Brotherhood Of Modelers...that being
to say "I wish to become a member of The Elder Brotherhood of Modelers"
and sending a bottle of fine single-malt Scottish whiskey to each of us.
Yes, that's it... that's the only way.
I'll send you my address BTW.
And I'll distribute that whiskey among the whole Elder Brotherhood Of
Modelers... all 1,027 of us.
You may count on that.

No,no,no,no,no,no,no!!!!!!
The ONLY version of "Hot Rod Lincoln" was one one done by the author
of the piece, Charlie Ryan. Fantastic and with excellant guitar work
as well. I saw him in a bar once up in Niagara Falls a lifetime ago,
where he sang that and my favorite flip-side piece, "Through the
Mill". Now THAT song would come back to haunt me through the years.....

IIRC, the Whirlybirds flew a Bell Model 47.  Sky King started out flying
a Cessna T-50 Bobcat and went on to fly a Cessna 310B.
As much as I watched Commando Cody I can't recall what his controls did
and I never saw any Flash Gordon serials.  We lived far from the movie
theaters and Dad often worked nights.  Mom never drove (and Dad was
happier that way!).

The controls were the essence of simplicity:
http://moviejackets.com/images/cody/cody3.jpg
Up-Down. On-Off. Speed Control: Slow-Fast.
BTW, the Flash Gordon Space ship came from the movie "Just Imagine".
Here's the Air Force "Blue From The Skies" song, with great footage of
1950's aircraft: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftBMALUd21U
TV channels ran this a lot near sign-off in the early-mid 1960's as a
recruiting tool for the Air Force.

If you enjoyed those movie serials, you'll have to see "J-Men Forever,"
where a couple of members of the Firesign Theater dumped the serials in
a Cuisinart and made their own story.

XL-5. You bet !!!!  Bought the launch ramp toy with the spacecraft
several times.   great stuff.  I think CutlTV has the XL-5 craft, not
as a model though. I really should get that one.

I _worshiped_ Fireball XL-5 as a kid.
One good question...do you think the other side of the hill the launch
track went up was littered with around a thousand solid-fueled RATO
launch sleds? They used to hurl one over the top of the hill every time
they took off.
Remember this?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASvBTqfTrzA
Trying to get this vaguely back on-topic for the newsgroup, there are,
or at least were, models of the Fireball XL-5 out there, both pre-built
and kits:
http://www.modelstarships.com/PreBuiltOther.aspx
http://www.warplanes.com/store/item.asp?department_id=38&item_id=65
http://www.monstersinmotion.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5337
Some of the links don't work here, but anyway:
http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/~bat/GA/fireball-links.html
...and wait till you see this:
http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/~bat/GA/fireball-msfs.html
Key point to doing the simulation is to tie your hands to the ceiling
via thin silver elastic threads, and rolling your eyes around a lot
while maintaining a wooden expression.
Fireball XL-5 really lends itself to a model rocket design, provided you
get the CG forward far enough.
The basic design is cylindrical with a squat ogive nose, and the design
does have enough horizontal and vertical fin area to make it stable in
flight.
Mind you, it's cheating to launch it vertically. You should build around
a fifty-foot-long track for it.
After you launch the XL-5, you can run your models of the Sanger
Antipodal Bomber and the Ark from "When Worlds Collide" down it. :-)

Oh, yeah! That was great. Cute little fins on the nose section. I'll

&$%#en Clutch Cargo!
Jet Jackson should have crammed him into the afterburner, and cranked up
the engine.
I spent an entire week watching those episodes where they were on the
trail of giant birds, based on huge footprints they found.
You know what they found?
Birds with _giant feet_, that's what they found!
I mean it's a _cartoon_ !
They could have found anything... they could have assumed it's a giant
bird...and it's actually a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Now that would have kicked a.s!
That would have made all that week watching those tiny episodes worth it.
But no...emu-sized birds with giant feet!
Those milk carton toys burnt great in the incinerator: "Oh, look - its a
crappy waxy cardboard school bus. Oh, look - it's a crappy waxy
cardboard school bus...in Dresden, Germany." :-)

You know, this looks like Japanese style animation as far the art style
goes...
It doesn't move, but other than that....
She's got a cute rear:
http://www.toontracker.com/spaceangel/space_angel10.jpg
This again reinforces my thesis that animation artists are the horniest
SOBs on the face of the planet.
If this was Japanese animation, she'd get naked at some point.
Maybe once each episode even.
I've see this guy before; this is Dr. Hans Zarkov out of the Flash
Gordon comic strips: http://www.toontracker.com/spaceangel/space_angel09.jpg
In a live-action movie version of "Space Angel", he's bound to be played
by John Rhys-Davies.
What would be really fun in such a movie is superimposing other people's
mouths over those of the actors when they speak.
Why?
Why not? Keep your audience guessing - that's the key...

Oh God! Clutch Cargo! I hated that show with a passion. Or at least I
used to.

With a disabled son now I appreciate the effort (no matter how
misdirected) at using actual mouths. One (not the only) reason was
that deaf viewers with lip reading experience could follow the story.
They were not aware that the deaf kids in their target audience most
likely knew little if any lip reading, something that is usually done
much later in life.

Here's a really trivial trivia for Cluch Cargo. A friend of ours,
Margaret Kerry, was one of the "sets of lips" for the show. Margaret
is better known (at least in Disney circles) as the body model for
Tinker Bell. She is one of the nicest people that we have ever met and
makes a living attending Disney events, selling autographed pictures
and the like.

I'm still looking for that Revell Capt. Hook Pirate Ship if anyone has
one to spare.

Read the Wikipedia article; they may have said it was for that, but the
real reason was to do the show as cheap as possible without having the
audience tune out as they stared at the non-moving animation cels.
The fact that they were issuing it in five-minute slices was the real
clue to what they were selling it as... a really corrupt way for TV
stations to suck kids in...so you could sell them whatever product you
were advertising on the show on a daily basis.
Remember Ralphie's epiphany in "A Christmas Story"? This was the Little
Orphan Annie decoder ring/Ovaltine scam all over again.
Later the Smurfs would arrive, followed by all sorts of Japanese
animated marketing schemes.
At least with Cracker Jacks you got a worthwhile little something
inside, and something worth eating in the Cracker Jacks themselves.
Cracker Jacks were good; Cracker Jacks were honest. The surprise inside
was gravy on the meat, and not the meat itself.
That sailor saluted you... and _by God_, you could trust the U.S. Navy!
Which beat those twenty boxes of uneaten cereal that sat in the cupboard
for months after the secret prize had been removed from them.
Like a maroon plastic Sperm Whale, or the worthless "Diving Submarine"
you sent away for...that ended up being around four inches long and
shoved full of baking soda.
I had to get _ten boxes_ of cereal before I got the Giant Squid, which
any kid knows is a hell of a lot cooler than a maroon Sperm Whale, and
could drag that little soda-sub right down to the bottom of the kitchen
sink.
People call me a cynic; I've got news for them... it's that little
soda-sub that probably started me down that road.
That, and Watergate.
But I still think the little soda-sub was the key tipping point.
Cracker Jacks should have included a little bag of depth charges to blow
that soda-sub up, because I can guarantee you that was some sort of a
commie plot trying to destroy the dreams of the kids of our nation.
Why didn't Captain Kangaroo warn us?
Or was he a comsymp pinko too? I note that Bunny Rabbit wore glasses
that looked a lot like Trotsky's.
Mr. Moose? Or _Mr. Marxist_?
You can never be too careful in matters like this.

"Tinker Bell"... a _fairy_.
Sounds like the degenerate commie _Gay Agenda_ to me!
"Comrades! Clap your hands! Comrades! Drop your pants!"
In fact...the choice of _maroon_... a notoriously "gay" color.... to
mold a "_Sperm Whale_" in...might need further examination for its
subversive implications also.
That's exactly the way your hard-core commie works.
Treachery at the breakfast table, to make your whole day a little more
"gay".
Red cereal at morning; Cracker Jacks' warning. :-P

Yeah, I saw that when I was a kid...it was put on TV by Cass Clay Dairy
out of Fargo as a lure to get kid's parents to buy their milk that was
advertised at the beginning and end of each five minute episode slice.
The empty milk cartons could be cut up to make crude toys...wax-covered
cardboard toys that sucked, the way that Clutch Cargo sucked.
As a trivia note, there's a Clutch Cargo episode showing on a TV in the
movie "Pulp Fiction".
The loopy animation technique was called Syncro-Vox:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch_Cargo

"To further cut costs, Gillette and special-effects man, Scotty Tomany
supplemented Syncro-Vox with other time- and money-saving tricks. Haas
explained, "We are not making animated cartoons. We are photographing
'motorized movement' and-- the biggest trick of all-- combining it with
live action. This enables us to produce film at about one-fifth what it
costs Hanna and Barbera."

And about one-fifth the quality also.
I think Race Bannon should have hunted down Clutch Cargo and beaten the
living crap out of the guy, then left him staked out in the open where a
Pteranodon could eat him.
Later, Bandit could have gnawed and buried his bones.
Yeah, that would have been really choice. :-)

You missed very little.  I watched them on WFIL in the afternoons. Sally
Starr had a cartoon show and played Popeye, Three Stooges, Warner
cartoons and Clutch.
Considering that Oprah's on at that time right now I wonder how the kids
do their homework without some funnies on the TV.
Sometimes I'd venture over to WCAU and watch the cut-down,
commercialed-up Early Show movies if there was a classic on.  All the
really good movies were on at 11:30PM after the news.  When I griped
about that my father said I could wait until I was old enough to stay up
that late.  Well, I'm old enough but there are no late movies except

I'm too young for this one, but not by much (born in '58).  We have a DVD
our granddaughter used to like called "Singing Babies", and they used the
same lip animation technique, but with live babies.  However, the Clutch
Cargo creators knew what they were doing; on this kid's DVD it's just very
eerie.

Oh, thanks. I had mercifully forgotten that show, until now.

But in the late '50s, the kids took what they could get. Even though I
watch Clutch all the time, he never held up against Bugs Bunny.

I seem to think that there was also another cartoon that used the same
sort of "mouth behind the mask" animation, but I can't recall the name
of it...anyone recall what that one was?

Someone mentioned "Space Angel"; that also used the same technique.
