011: "The Ultra-Beam"

"The Ultra-Beam"

Aired: November 17, 1973

Hank and Ben are two men who believe the world would be better offer without gold to tempt the greed of humanity and they have devised a beam that can extract the metal from the earth which they then convert to another metal. The problem is, this extraction is causing issues with the planet and the Super Friends are called in to investigate.

John and Dan Greenfield of 13th Dimension are back talking another episode of The Super Friends. In this episode, they discuss the lack of the use of the term alchemy in a plot that revolves around it, the odd bouncy shoes of one of the characters and the music of the first season.

John references The Ultimate Super Friends Companion by Will Rodgers. Check it out for yourself by purchasing a copy via Amazon.

Dan Greenfield is the editor and co-creator of 13thDimension.com, a website devoted primarily to comics and pop culture, past and present. To him, the basic food groups are Batman, Planet of the Apes, Star Trek (the Original Series), James Bond, the Beatles and the Stones. But if he had to he'd be able to subsist on Batman alone. Channel 11 in New York was his favorite syndicated channel as a kid -- you can guess why -- followed closely by Channel 5. Channel 9 didn't really enter into it unless he was home sick and there wasn't much else on. He's married to his remarkably patient wife Wendy and his best sidekick is his son, Sam. They have two cats,Lex and Zod.
