One of the thing I like most about YouTube, is how you can find just about any old video you can think of on there. If you’re looking for an old TV show, or television commercial, you can almost always find it with a few clicks. With that in mind, from time to time, I’m going to be posting RETROVISION! - old commercials, videos, and tv shows to spark the old nostalgia bug.

First up is SHAZAM!, a 1970s take on the DC Comics Captain Marvel (who has to be referred to as SHAZAM! in the title for legal reasons…long story). This series is absolutely nothing like the Captain Marvel in the comics. In comics, Billy Batson is a little boy, here he’s a lanky, almost full grown teen, and the old guy he drives around the country with in an RV is completely made up for this series as well.

This show didn’t last long, and it’s not terribly hard to see why…
