Frankenstein, Jr.

Produced by Hanna-Barbera for CBS in 1966, the same year as Space Ghost, Frankenstein Jr. was a gigantic, sentient Do-Anything Robot built and commanded by boy scientist Buzz Conroy. Their base of operations was a mountaintop laboratory run by Buzz's father.

The show's backup segment was The Impossibles. Coil Man, Fluid Man and Multi Man were the secret identities of a trio of otherwise unnamed rock guitarists.

Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles was one of the last H-B series animated in the classic Ed Benedict style.
