I'm from the late 70's-early 80's so I know certain things from this show wouldn't work from my time or even now. I started laughing during the "tie-up" scene. Whomever had two preteen boys tied up in a way where their faces are near the other's butt. Then Huck lifts his butt up for a magnet to work. I sure it was all innocent but it just proves how what is innocent in the 60's will be stamped on E's "The Soup" for everyone to laugh at uncomfortably.
Wow, here I am reaching 50 years and I'm watching the show again that I used to love soooo much... I haven't seen it in more than 40 years since I was a kid. My kids can't believe dad's watching cartoons again!
It's kind of astonishing how ahead of its time this series was. The green-screening was outstanding and they even masked in foreground elements. This has to be one of the earliest examples of virtual sets. A whole lot of time was spent on the series and it shows. Thanks again for posting these eps! They're a real treasure trove.
I just noticed something....the "Injun Joe" like villains that Ted Cassidy portrays in his voice over (nice facial resemblance of Mr. Cassidy by the way) most, if not all of them, have a chain wrapped around one of his wrists.
@MelodyThePussycat Go to muttley16's channel. Aunt Polly and Mrs. Thatcher are on it at the very beginning. I had never seen that version. The kids cut through the graveyard and are confronted by Injun Joe. They run into the cave into some sort of time warp.

It could have been a death in the family else it might have been a family joke or a Birthday supride as H&B used to do things like this.

Tell me, do you know why "Aunt Polly" and "Mrs. Thatcher" are mentioned at the ending credits if they never appeared in none episode???

@MelodyThePussycat They did appear, in the original opening sequence from the initial NBC broadcast run.
