    A knife-wielding diver with a superhero voice and his fish friends slowly advance on a Transylvanian Barracuda and a fish smoking a cigarette.

      Yeah, I watched it, as a kid. Those were the times. Everyone was smoking, (underwater fish, parents with kids in closed spaces, (like cars), and even most pregnant mothers.) Truly disgusting, and off-putting, nowadays. But, perfectly acceptable in the 60s.

    My older brother and I used to watch these (along with things like Fractured Fairy Tales, Rocky & Bullwinkle, etc) on Saturday mornings, still wearing our jammies, in the early 1960s (drinking our milk flavored with Bosco). All was right with the world so far as we were concerned, in those days.
