that sweet kid is called Jay Blood? Is he a wrestler now?

[robotzorro]

:24 is that a price tag on his gun?

Wow! That's Dr. Joe Martin from All My Children as Dick Tracy!

comics hating William Dozier ruins yet another great comics masterpiece. Probably made to out-corn the Batman series.

@diddymuck At least with Dick Tracy, it would have been more appropriate; it always was hard to take that strip seriously, maybe because it took itself too seriously.

Out of all these people, Eve Plumb is the only one I've heard of!

This was obviously along the lines of Batman. Same producer, William Dozier.

This would have been closer to the original strip than UPA's 1961 TV cartoon, where Dick was actually a "minor character" (with the focus on the various "comedy detectives" featured in those stories)- and I've seen the full episode, "The Plot To Kill N.A.T.O.", with "guest villain" Victor Buono as "Mr. Memory", and it's darn good [and The Ventures' theme music would have been equally memorable] . But NBC, as I've said, passed on it... and yes, I DO remember "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery".

Does anyone remember that Warner Bros. cartoon where Daffy Duck dreams he's the great detective, "Duck Twacy"? I believe it was called "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery." It was directed by Bob Clampett and is considered a masterpiece of frenetic pacing, sick humor, and surreal animation.

Does anyone else remember seeing that cartoon?

[Schweinhundt]

I can't help but wonder how closely this series would've followed the dark, violent world of Chester Gould's comic strip. Many of the crooks met gruesome ends which were fitting for their crimes.

What made Dick Tracy an appealing character was, although he lived in a violent world, he had a strong sense of right and wrong and a big heart.

In the right hands, I believe a Dick Tracy movie or television series could be very popular. The strip is still going strong after 78 years.

This didnt seem to bad if they would have went further. the characters they matched up pretty well .I see Eve Plumb was going to be in it before she was in The Brady Bunch. Cool show that never was. the 60's tv was a magical time.Thanks for this one.Show more.

This was originally submitted to NBC as a potential series for their 1967-'68 schedule- they passed on it.

[SqueeksoAo]

I think I need the lyrics to this.

[TIM6669]
