This show was formula camp, but it had a couple of quirks that made it less painful to watch. Someone else commented on the recurring villain, Mr. Shubert, played by Victor Buono, but there was more to the character than he mentioned. In the pilot movie, Mr Shubert was indeed played relatively straight. He was the typical Bond-style villain with an elaborate secret underground(water) fortress, a submarine, and legions of heavily armed troops. In the series, however, the heroes seem to have taken over his base and fancy equipment, but left him free to plan new ventures. He appears several times in various episodes, but due to his dwindling resources, his plots are progressively less elaborate, till, in the end, he's reduced to planning some minor mischief from inside a miniature lighthouse at a marina with his one remaining loyal minion. By then, his character has come to resemble "King Tut", whom Mr. Buono played on the "Batman" TV series. Plotting, scheming, but ultimately incompetent. Mr. Shubert also has the obligatory daughter who becomes involved with, and ultimately saves, the hero, but instead of a leggy blond in a jumpsuit, she was a sort of plain, almost dumpy, brunette with horn rimmed glasses and an annoying laugh. Rather than becoming romantically involved with the hero, they become friends, although the series ended without this being developed further. At least the writers had the sense not to even TRY to take this premise too seriously. Otherwise it would have been another "Manimal".
