The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show was a Saturday morning cartoon from 1979 to 1981; it was shown right after Super Friends on the ABC Network. It featured various adventures of the DC Comics superhero Plastic Man. This show featured many adventures in different segments: Plastic Man, Baby Plas, Plastic Family, Mighty Man & Yukk, Fangface and Fangpuss, and Rickety Rocket.

The show was created by Ruby-Spears Productions.

[edit] Segments

"Plastic Man" was about the stretchy superhero himself.

"Baby Plas" was about Plastic Man and Penny's baby son.

"Plastic Family" focused on the adventures of all three of the Plastic Family.

"Mighty Man & Yukk!" was about a tiny Superhero, and his dog who could talk and wears a doghouse-helmet, because he is so ugly that he could destroy practically anything just by looking at it.

"Fangface and Fangpuss" was about a reluctant werewolf and his baby cousin (who is also a werewolf) and their adventures (Fangpuss was added after Baby Plas was introduced to the main show).

"Rickety Rocket" was about an artificially intelligent space ship that was created by a group of African-American kid geniuses who solve mysteries in the future, in the vein of Speed Buggy.
