Unfortunately, young Billy Batson and his mentor were killed and eaten during the Zombie Apocalypse. Their sylish 1970's Winnebago motorhome is, however, featured in "The Walking Dead" on AMC.
When you want to keep your identity a secret, the best way is to travel in an RV with an older guy who is not related to you and paint a big SHAZAM! lightning bolt on the front. Stealthy, very stealthy. That's what happens when you are granted powers by a bunch Greek Gods and....a pre-Omridian Jewish ruler of a Judean city-state. WHAT?!?
i learned alot from this very educational show,got up early on saturdays to catch all the cartoons and shows like shazam,isis,land of the lost awesome stuff,i miss the 70's.
I heard that a movie called "Shazam!" was going to be made about Captain Marvel- but now it has been scrapped because the Superman reboot is in production. The studio decided Superman and Captain Marvel are too much alike- so it is completely unnecessary to have both supeheroes with stories on the big screen.
Shazam... I first heard about this character from one of my friends who's into WAY deeper into comics than I am... and so when I first heard of My Secret Identity again in University, I sort-of thought it was going to be the same show, because I thought his name was Ultraman (Shazam's/Captain Marvel's)... and that was what Jerry O'Connel's character called himself. After watching one or two eps of that, I realized how wrong I was. HAHA. And that, I had seen Secret Identity as a kid.
FUN FACT: the name SHAZAM is really an acronynm 4 the elders and the powers they each gave Captain Marvel. the wisdom of SOLOMAN the strength of HERCULES the stamina of ATLAS the power of ZEUS the invunerability of ACHILLES the speed of MERCURY this show even had a spin-off: ISIS ISIS & Captais Marvel even crossed over into each others show more than once. they later did an ISIS/SHAZAM power hour when the ratings started to fall. they don't make shows like this any more. dang it !
Because even in the comics, Billy and CM looked nothing alike. It's a superhero disguise thing. Oddly, all the other "Marvels" look a lot like their alter egos. Only Billy had a major physical transformation.
@RedwoodTheElf Originally, the idea was actually that Billy changed into a completely different person when he became Captain Marvel. It's an idea that's fallen kind of out of vogue with modern fantasy and superhero stories.
@RedwoodTheElf Technically Captain Marvel and BIlly Batson are two different people..They switch places during the transformation....In the second graphic novel Batman returns (?)... Shazam it trapped under falling debrie... He tells Wonder Woman. Billy Batson died several years earlier.. He was always a sickly person... And that he would probably returm to nothing if he said the Shazam again....After the people are saved he does one last time yell Shazam and vanishes..
I remember this show. It was one of those shows you watched because there wasn't anything else on. Why did his hair grow shorter after he changed into Shazam?
I was watching Brave and Bold on Cartoon Network on Friday. I hate the voice of Billy Batson. I know Billy is suppose to be a young man but I always thought he was like 18 or 19 yrs old not 12. In the comics he was an anchorman. The voice they gave Billy Batson is just plain silly. I would prefer they find a 19 or 20 yr old guy to do the voice.
@CobaltIsNotReal I've only read a few myself. What I want to see is the old mini-series from the 1930's. or maybe the 40's. They are probably really cheesy but thats okay. Sometimes the cheesy stuff is the most fun. Like a lot of the Kroftt shows. Bigfoot and Wildboy, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, H R Pufnstuf. They are silly but fun. You can see some of them over in the suggestions box. At least they are in mine. Wonder Bug. Land of the Lost.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE I USED TO WATCH THIS...I was born in 74 so I was very young but geeee wizz what crap...still, brings back great memories (just not of the show)...lol
I was born in 67 so I remember this better. It was one of my favorite shows. I also read the Shazam comics. I thought it was cool how a teenager could say one magic word and then a bolt of lighting would hit him and he would be transformed into a superhero. This was one of my favorite Superhero shows of the 70s along with Isis, Wonder Woman and the The Six Million Dollar Man / The Bionic Woman. And my favorite movie of the 70s wasn't Star Wars. It was Superman: The Movie.
@Superbatfan Jaws was my favourite movie..and do you remember Love American style, Operation Petiicoat, Space 1999, Fantastic Voyage, Emergency and one Adam 12, Hogans' hero's, WKRP, to name a few..I'm the same age as you, and relate to all the shows you mentioned..Thanks for mentioning Isis, I forgot that one and watched it as well, all super friends, our gang reruns "little rascals" and Hillarios house of Frightenstein were good too.
@Superbatfan .... I also was born in the 60's so I totally agree with you!!! The Six Million Dollar / Bionic Woman is is my favorite!!!! Also liked Superman!!!
I used to like this show until I found out that Billy really didnt have special powers, he was just high on PCP that the old man gave him. When I heard that him and the old man were really discreet gay lovers, I lost interest in the show. Just kidding. Shazam was the Shznit.
A show with a 14-year-old kid who never goes to school, traveling around in a RV with a pervy-looking old man? And nary a sidewise glance from the authorities? "Shazam, shazam" indeed!
I take it that Gomer Pyle was the Immortal Elders' first choice to create a mighty supernatural hero back in the '60s, but it didn't work and they had to wait ten years to try again with young Billy?
used to say shazam! in the backyard every saturday after the show and try with all my might to fly, then i would put a makeshift 'wind' on my bike and try to get lift-off, those were the days
"traveled the highways and BI-ways of america" LOL..SUCH A GAY OVERTONE! i went oustside during a thunder storm and held a steel rod while i yelled SHAZAM!! nothing happend and i quit watching the show.
@justmedick Well, if you were fool enough to go out in an electrical storm with a metal rod, you were already the DUMBEST of mortal beings, so who knows? Maybe you could have become the mightiest in your next life...
Here's a factoid that someone 'may' have already posted, but I am going to give anyway! Les Tremayne (Mr. Mentor) was a film narrator & character-actor in the 40's & 50's! (Sort of the LeFountaine of his time!) He did alot of those classic Action/Sci-Fi trailers... using terms like; "It Will Stagger The Imagination!!!" He is probably best known for playing Gen. Mann in Gerorge Pal's War of the Worlds!
that was one of my favorite show on saturday afternoon shazam i always wanted to ride with them in that RV no worries when you was a kid lol sit back and wath tv then go out to play memories
I remember watching this on Saturday mornings here in Australia in 1981 when I was just six, I loved it and I don't think they ever played it again; it's one of those shows that didn't follow me into adulthood as some others did though, but still a nice little trip down memory lane, cheers mate
I remember watching this as a little kid and being fascinated with the whole superhero theme - remember the Superfriends cartoon Saturday mornings? Today this concept would be laughed at and killed off before the idea was even submitted due to its lack of extreme violence, foul language, and sexual innuendo (and beyond). Today kids have video games with lifelike 3-D murder and violence, Spongebob, Britney Spears, and Hanna Montana - no wonder it's Psychopaths R Us - DAMN SHAME!
This despite the fact that the age group born between 1964-1970 produced almost twice as many serial killers and mass murders as any other generational cohort in American history, including my own, born in the late 1980s. In short, get fucked.
@theangrylibertarian lmao.... well, I wouldn't toot my horn for the late 80's born crowd just yet dude. Serial killers usually hit first around age 28, and since people born in the late 80's are still in their early to mid 20's right now, I'd say that at least the last part of your statement can't even be realistically considered.
me too every saturday morning i watch cbs shows shazam isis hour and the grooive goolies and this too billy gray and his wife own a flower shop in southern calif after he retire from acting
As a kid I could never figure out why they always were chasing around in that Winnebago. Couldn't they just stay at headquarters waiting for the next assignment?
Awesome! used to watch this as a kid, had a crush on Billy but never quite understood how "Shazam" turned him into a completely different and much older man. Thanks for the memories!
Why was the picture always so grainy on this show? I always wondered that as a kid. Kept me from ever watching it. And how come he didn't just change identities, but somehow became a whole different person? Where did the other guy go? That show was wack.
I used to watch the Shazam/Isis hour too. Great time to be a kid back then in early 70's. Though never thought about it but why is Solomon included w/the Greek/Roman God's who were responsible for Captain Marvel's powers? Odd.
Thanks for bringing back some memories for my mom. :P Now she's never gonna stop making me look up old shows she used to watch… XD

I remember watching this as a little kid and being fascinated with the whole superhero theme - remember the Superfriends cartoon Saturday mornings? Today this concept would be laughed at and killed off before the idea was even submitted due to its lack of extreme violence, foul language, and sexual innuendo (and beyond). Today kids have video games with lifelike 3-D murder and violence, Spongebob, Britney Spears, and Hanna Montana - no wonder it's Psychopaths R Us - DAMN SHAME!

This despite the fact that the age group born between 1964-1970 produced almost twice as many serial killers and mass murders as any other generational cohort in American history, including my own, born in the late 1980s. In short, get fucked.

@theangrylibertarian lmao.... well, I wouldn't toot my horn for the late 80's born crowd just yet dude. Serial killers usually hit first around age 28, and since people born in the late 80's are still in their early to mid 20's right now, I'd say that at least the last part of your statement can't even be realistically considered.

As a kid I could never figure out why they always were chasing around in that Winnebago. Couldn't they just stay at headquarters waiting for the next assignment?

Awesome! used to watch this as a kid, had a crush on Billy but never quite understood how "Shazam" turned him into a completely different and much older man. Thanks for the memories!

Why was the picture always so grainy on this show? I always wondered that as a kid. Kept me from ever watching it. And how come he didn't just change identities, but somehow became a whole different person? Where did the other guy go? That show was wack.

I used to watch the Shazam/Isis hour too. Great time to be a kid back then in early 70's. Though never thought about it but why is Solomon included w/the Greek/Roman God's who were responsible for Captain Marvel's powers? Odd.
