    Shazam on Tubi

    Chosen from among all others by the immortal elders - Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury - Billy Batson and his mentor travel the highways and byways of the land on a neverending mission: to right wrongs, to develop understanding, and to seek justice for all! In time of dire need, young Billy has been granted the power by the immortals to summon awesome forces at the utterance of a single word!

    SHAZAM!

      Ate many a bowl of Fruity Pebbles or Coco Puffs in front of the TV when that show was on.

      I think I saw that Tubi had added "Legends of the Superheroes", too.

          The prints look great, too! I remember hearing that Warner located the prints, and remastered the show as a tie-in when the 2019 movie came out. I still have the earlier DVD set that WB released before they remastered. I never bothered to upgrade, so I'll be watching the episodes again on Tubi.

            Just noticed Tarzan with Ron Ely, too! I'm watching more shows on free streaming than on the streaming service that I pay for! Nice problem to have!

              Tubi also has the John Wesley Shipp version of "The Flash".

                The restored prints were on the DC Universe app when it had video content, and man, they looked SHARP.

                I haven't rewatched the Shipp Flash series in over a decade. Time to dive back in! I have the DVD set, but I bet these look better too!

                    ^I guess I didn't realize ALL of them were found. That's great. I need to go back and rewatcch the whole thing. Especially the Bostwick episodes. No offense to John Davey, but Bostwick just had "IT" with the character.

                        Watching Shazam on Tubi and noticing a couple things-

                        -LOVING the Filmation incidental music. It takes me back almost as much as-
                        -The credits font over the opening scenes give me the feels
                        -Doesn't that red rectangle and yellow bolt on the front of the Winnebago give them away?
                        -Les Tremayne's comb over isn't fooling adult me!
                        -How does Billy NOT understand the message the Elders give him in the beginning?! "What do you mean?" "You'll understand soon enough, Billy." C'mon, Batson!
                        WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.

                          Love the Filmation incidental music, too. Recently, I was watching an old Sale of the Century game show on Buzzr from the eighties, and I was surprised to hear the music being used during one of the showcase segments. I did a search on google, and learned that they shared the same composer, Marc Ellis.

                          I also like the outdoors filming. I'm convinced that the Shazam and Isis series are the reason why I eventually moved to California. I grew up in wintery Michigan, and I spent many cold, Saturday mornings watching them parade around on location in dry, Sunny California, that I yearned to be there, too, someday. I even found a couple spots where they filmed an episode.

                            I like that Mentor and Billy are responsible enough to pull over and safely stop before taking a call from The Elders. Remember their example, Boys and Girls.

                              I sat down this afternoon to watch a couple of the episodes that I remembered from way back when. In Season 1, Episode 5 ('The Road Back part 2'), I caught just enough information from the front door of the bad guy's business to work out and find this.

                              https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/ID...-Page-0117.pdf

                              It's an advertisement for a sale that shows the building they used for that location. (I'm a movie/TV location nerd. )
