Frankenstein, Jr. and The Impossibles

Calvin, Mark, and Franky

Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles is an animated television show produced by Hanna-Barbera for CBS in 1966. Each half-hour consisted of one Frankenstein Jr. story and two with the Impossibles. It ran for two seasons before complaints about violence in children's television led to the series' cancellation.

Overview

Frankenstein Jr.

Frankenstein Jr. is a giant flying humanoid robot. He and his young master, Buzz Conroy, battle monsters and confront various mad scientists. Buzz and Frankenstein Jr. later made a cameo appearance in an episode of Yogi's Space Race.

The Impossibles

The Impossibles are a trio of rock 'n' roll guitarists who are secretly superheroes. Coil Man has springs for arms and legs, Fluid Man can change his body into water, and Multi Man can duplicate himself as many times as needed. Their powers were later given to three of The Super Globetrotters.
