Another loss: Norman Alden, voice of Aquaman

Last night, on the heels of hearing about RG Armstrong having died, I heard another legend has left us.

Norman Alden, also a prolific character actor, also died on Friday. Alden has 237 credits listed on IMDb. Incredible body of work. The roles I know him for are as Professor Frank Heflin on The Krofft Supershow Electra Woman and Dyna Girl and as Bill in Tim Burton's Ed Wood. 

But he will forever and always be the voice of Aquaman, from the 70s Super Friends cartoon. He epitomized the character for so many kids.

Check out a tribute post at The Aquaman Shrine for more information.

Thank you for everything, Mr. Alden.

Guess What's on Hulu Now?

I woke up and checked my email and found I had a "Hulu Queue Alert". Amazingly, H.R. Pufnstuf is available now to watch, for free. All 17 episodes!

I haven't seen this since I was a very young kid, since it first aired when I was just born. I caught reruns of a few shows and that was it.

It is weird and wacky, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. I am not sure the Krofft Brothers ever produced anything as odd as this show. And that's saying something, cause all of their shows are way off kilter!

Here is the first episode. It's only a little over 21 minutes long, so hit play and let your brain relax!



Weird, strange, manic - Just what you want from a Sid and Marty Krofft show!
