This was basically, "The Monkees" for kids with cartoons and a weekly serial tossed in for fun. Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In was an obvious influence as well with the pop-art sets, patterns and color schemes. Paul Winchell's voice (Jerry Mahoney and Mortimer Snurd - a popular Ventriloquist/Dummy act of the time) as Fleagle was fun. Winchell was also the voice of "Tigger" from Disney's "Winnie the Pooh" and many other cartoon voices, including the leader of the "Anthill Mob" in "The Adventures of Penelope Pitstop." Daws Butler's voice (Huckleberry Hound and many others) as Bingo was great too.
I had to see reruns of this show to remember it was Jan Michael Vincent's t.v. debut in the "Danger Island" segment.
"Chongo" (Uh Oh) got a little irritating with his constant bird sounds in place of real language.
The cartoons were fun - Three Musketeers and Arabian Nights.
It was an obvious Hannah-Barbera effort.
Lots of fun for kids. Teens too.
GREAT theme song (La la la, la la la la)!
