Too bad shows like this aren't around today. They showed all people could get along black, and white, guys, or girls. Everyone got along

.... Joe Ruby and Ken Spears? Man, I didn't realize how many of the shows I loved as a kid had those two names involved with them.

Marineland? I wonder if that's the park that closed down in ( I think ) 1984 or 85?

@dlarremore No, C.C.'s line is a Muhammad Ali reference. in order to tire out his boxing opponents, Ali would back into the ropes and block himself, leaving them to punch his arms until they tired out. This worked on George Foreman when they fought. Ali called this move the "Rope-A-Dope". Since Schlep Car had the rope tied to him, C.C. says, "Right on, you old 'rope-a-dope', you!" I would like to say that I just translate this stuff, I don't write it!

The late Lenny Weinrib from Magic Mongo, 7 years later voiced Hunk and Prince Lotor in the Voltron. Bart Braverman who played Ace on Magic Mongo was a panelist on Match Game, also voiced Pugsy on "Fangface" and also co-starred on Vega$. Frank Welker, the multi-talented voice talent, still does it even today for over 40 years, does Wonderbug.
