The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show

"The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show" was a Saturday morning cartoon produced by Ruby-Spears Productions from 1979 to 1981; it was shown right after "Super Friends" on the ABC Network.

This show featured many adventures in different segments: Plastic Man, Baby Plas, Plastic Family, Mighty Man & Yukk, Fangface and Fangpuss and Rickety Rocket.

Main characters

*Plastic Man: The main character (voiced by Michael Bell).
*Penny: Plastic Man's girlfriend, later wife (voiced by Melendy Britt), a pretty blonde who speaks with a Southern drawl. She calls Plastic Man "Plas" for short.
*Hula-Hula: Plastic Man's bumbling Hawaiian sidekick. He seems to have nothing but bad luck (note the fact that the narrator in the intro calls him "Bad Luck Hula"), and that bad luck often aids the bad guys; for example, when Hula-Hula tried to help Plastic Man capture Disco Mummy and her henchmen, his bad luck brought on a hurricane.
*Baby Plas: Penny and Plastic Man's son who was quite literally a bouncing baby boy upon birth as the doctor in the series with Baby Plas was shown bouncing him up and down like a ball. He has the same powers as his father.
*The Chief: The Chief (voiced by Melendy Britt) asigns Plastic Man tasks that always involves catching criminals.
