Er...huh? :? This is a joke about the Shazam! series, and not about Shazzan?

This is why trying to answer as Peter Lorre doesn't work over the silent Internet... ;)

(And now I have the related I Dream Of Jeannie theme bobbing around in my head!)

Not a cartoon but a comic book movie the 1987 Spirit Movie!

Edit: Link won't work but it's on there.

Hey gaastra, the Sam "Flash" Jones-starring TV movie of The Spirit has been available through the WB Archive for a good couple of years now, since October 2013, I think. I have my copy on the shelf, so I know it did come out. :)

Ok. Sorry about that. How is it by the way? Worth getting?

I said I have a copy on my shelf. I have many copies of many things on my shelves - and hardly any of them ever get watched! This is another title sitting in the "to be watched" pile! :roll:

However, if you want a peak and don't mind VHS... http://youtu.be/GHJw8ixWDWA

I bought my first copy of The Spirit on VHS at a collectibles show many years ago. It's... okay. It's typical TV movie quality, tongue in cheek, and relatively faithful to the source material but not especially memorable in any way. I haven't watched it in many years, though of course I did buy the DVD. If you're a Spirit fan, you really will probably appreciate seeing it, though Will Eisner may have preferred you didn't watch it. I don't think he was a fan.

Not strictly a Archive title (it'll be a pressed set), but Filmation's Tarzan, Lord Of The Jungle has been announced to coincide with WB's new movie! Season One's 16 episodes coming June 14! :)
