I was talking about this with some online friends a few nights back – The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a 1968 Hanna-Barbera live action/animation series I saw, in glorious black and white and dubbed in Italian… ah, probably in 1973 or ’74.
The premise is pretty, ehm, straightforward: Huck, Tom and Becky, pursued by Injunjoe, enter a complex of caves that happen to be…
Your guess is as good as mine – I’d say interdimensional gateways to parallel universes.
Weird?
You bet.
Fun?
Quite.
Here’s a snippet of a vaguely Wilkie Collins-esque episode.
You find the rest on Youtube.
Enjoy!

Wow. I’ve never seen that, even though I did watch a lot of Saturday afternoon live-action TV in the seventies. Then again, I didn’t usually pay attention… I was too busy reading, even then.

This one, Johnny Quest and Scooby Doo were the foundation of the “kid’s TV hour” when I was a kid – and it was really that, one single hour, between 4 and 5 PM, one cartoon and one live-action episode.
Apart from that, there was nothing else, so we could both watch TV AND read!
Ah, those were the days…
