Anyone remember Marine Boy?

At least the first dozen episodes are also on Youtube.

Brings back memories. Animation wise is way better then almost al US Cartoons of that era .

But … what if I find them embarrassing, now? Like I did when I bought The Herculoids on DVD.

...and we used to live for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank.

Luxury. We had it rough.

Pretty much all the shows listed above use to play in and around The Wee Willy Weber show. It was a children's variety type show (like Checkers and Pogo). It ran for hours after school and some times in the mornings. There was also a lot of Ultra Man.

I loved that show. I always remembered it as Giant Robot but everywhere else in the world (and Hawaii) it was Johnny Sokko & his Flying Robot.

There are more ULTRAMAN series than just the one! Crunchyroll streams about five of them!

There have been about a dozen or more different Ultraman series. When I think of Ultraman it's the 1966 version.

Australia doesn't exist, though. Americans said so. Remember?

I tried that series, & as I recall, its name not withstanding, it just ain't Ultraman!

I used to love Marine Boy when it was on the telly, it had my second favourite theme tune (after Doctor Who, of course). But when I looked it up on youtube, the music had a Japanese kid's chorus singing the melody, rather than the twangy surf guitar I remembered - is my memory wro

It's been too long. I can't remember the intro theme tune anymore, however I'm sure that on the BBC it wasn't this one:

So, they must have changed it for the western audience.
