The FCC had this series, along with it's sister series Skyhawks after a group of do-gooders called  Action For Children's Television convinced the FCC these were both "Program Length Commercials" (Mattel had three of the cars featured in the series, the Jack Rabbit Special, The Demon and the Sand Crab in its line of toy cars, but these were introduced in the shows second year. Who came first, the chicken or the egg?) and had them taken off the air.  As for Skyhawks, none of the aircraft were made as toys, like some kids going to beg their parents to go to an Aircraft Dealer and purchase a Cessina Skyhawk. 
I would like to see BOTH Series on DVD. I have found a handfull of episodes from both series (I refuse to say how I got them on the grounds it may incriminate me), they make a great little "Blast from the Past". These will just have to tide me over until an official release comes out.  |
