The Hardy Boys (1969–1971)
6/10
I Thought the Guys In The Live Band Opening Credits Were COOL!
28 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The show went off the air when I was 5, but I remember thinking those fellows, especially the two 'singing' as Joe and Frank, were just cool! No other way to put it, I guess.

Now 40 years on, it's all very fascinating to me, I guess.

I remember the cartoons, didn't recall much about the songs. I recall Chubby had Archie's voice (both cartoons were by Filmation, so voicework crosses over).

I remember Wanda Kay, the female, but really remember nothing about her, being dumb or anything. She is pretty ditzy, as others have said.

Pete beat out Valerie on Josie and the Pussycats as the first black animated character by a year. Also alongside Valerie was Freight Train on Where's Huddles? So far, the adventures I've watched are okay. Just watches like a very serious ARchie (which is kind of welcomed).

Watched one episode where we meet Pete's relations, I would guess in the Louisiana bayou, and Pete called them 'baby'.

Bit fun to hear Pete call the bad guys 'paleface' in a native American episode as well.

Couldn't help but notice the first episode I watched had the audience screaming playing over the song, then the other songs removed this very distracting noise, thank goodness.

Again, best way to describe it is a serious version of the Archie cartoons.
