    The production of these episodes is flawless, they have a flow all their own. They were great as a kid and they are even better now.

    Just love this episode because the men are afraid of Sapphire. She is the one with the brains. Thank you You Tube for all the episodes.

    This show always has a moral. My friend named his dive service Mystic Knights of the Sea. He had all the episodes. The intro music fires off endorfines in my brain. These are superior to any sitcoms of today,bare none.

    As the decades pass (I was born in 1950) it becomes more and more evident how good these actors were. They are a welcome relief from today's politically correct mandate and these actors are utterly genuine. They did not have the advantage of stellar photography (like I Love Lucy did) and these youtubes were probably mere kinescopes. But the acting does come through much louder and clearer than the 'ridiculous racist chant' of the NAACP's utter nonsense. - David Lyga
