The Incredible Hulk 1966, Purple Pants and Moe Hair!

The amazing purple pants! - How do they stay on through trnasformations? They ought to market those to yoyo dieters. One size fits all. What happens to his underwear under there? And while we're at it, how did those glasses appear on Bruce's face right after he changed back from the Hulk?

Not a mental giant - Of course, green Hulk isn't too smart. Sometimes, he frets about turning into weak Banner, then wonders why Banner isn't around. He wanted to kill everyone to make them leave him be but the moment a bomb threatens to kill everyone instead, he rushes to stop it. Everyone must die to leave Hulk alone as long as he does the killing! Brilliant. And check out the Moe of the Three Stooges hair.

Squeezing stress toys doesn't work for everyone - Hulk only got more angry when he couldn't squeeze the "life" from The Leader's humanoids.

General Ross orders Betty - She's not one of his soldiers, she's his daughter. I know it was the 60s and all, but maybe she wouldn't be happy to show his new lackey around the base.

Ironman, you're fat! He looks awfully bloated in his little guest spot, doesn't he? And where did that antenna come from?

Captain America 1966 Cartoon - All those who oppose his shield must yield

• Why, Bucky, of course you can be my sidekick! Never mind that you're just the teen mascot

  

  Are those micro-shorts?

  and not a soldier. I'll train you so well, you won't need armor, a shield, superpowers or a weapon either. You won't die under my watch. Oh, whoops, you did.
  
• Red Skull's delusional! Then again, what would you expect from someone willing to bake in a hideous head-encompassing mask and gloves 24/7? He actually thought that he and Cap were alike, that Cap would sympathize with his story of how he was plucked from obscurity to become a fearsome figurehead (then disposed of his puppeteer leader). And how did he think crushing the weak and helpless would give him great power? Presumably, they're weak and helpless because they have no power to take.

  

  Not a happy camper

  
  
• He's athletic! Just check out those cartwheels! No one else could make it look so easy, like he doesn't even really have to use his hands or feet!
  
• That's one sharp shield! "All those who oppose his shield must yield." Even if the opposition is his own parachute. He accidentally sliced the strings with it and went plummeting.
  
• Is it just me? The prisoner escaping to cause so much trouble in one episode wasn't even restrained! They sat him in the back of an open air truck with no handcuffs or guards, or at least no way to keep him from literally falling off the truck. And expected him to be a good  little boy and stay.
  
• That A wasn't sewn on or woven into his mask? He removed

  

  Horns of plenty?

  
  

  
  

  and replaced it as easily as a velcro patch or magnet to put some device behind it.How doesn't it fall off in the heat of battle?
  
• After they brought him out of frozen death and he became the leader, all of the other headlining members of the Avengers were mysteriously always busy or away. He had to work with the B team. Wow, even  Wolverine's pointy do has nothing on Quicksilver's hair!

The Invincible Iron Man 1966

• Where do I get one of those suits? Why settle for an electric car that you charge from any old outlet when you can have a rocket powered, beam emitting suit of armor? I wonder if he's got international adapters for that thing?

Shiny!

• Can you hear me now? You've got to love the visual sound effects. Zitt! It's not just a zit but a zitt, watch out, it might squirt something deadly! Wok! Watch out for flying woks! Bong! Well, now that would be quite a smoke. The one I like most though is Fwoof! It sounds downright fluffy. It's also interesting how Clank! and Ring! came out sounding like the same glub.

• Upgrades and more upgrades! He upgrades suit 3-4 times in 13 episodes: switching to a less clunky (and less blinding) suit by episode 2, having another utterly destroyed by an enemy later on, building a brand new one to save his pal Happy Hogan (who happened to be posing as him, etc. The iron suits rusted, yuck! He got challenged by a Titanium Man. He really should have built one of adamantium or vibranium, or a layer of each, or something.

• Politicians will be politicians. Isn't it comforting to know that politicians weren't any smarter way back when? Congressman What'sHisFace keeps demanding Tony Stark to appear before Congress to reveal the secrets of Ironman's armor. Because, you know, telling a bunch of politicians -- and whoever else might be lurking around -- will ensure that the country remains safe. Safe from who? Ironman, an independent agent who -- although constantly fighting on the side of good -- might, by some extremely remote possibility, turn on the country at any time? From the bad guys continually trying to take over or destroy the world who would love the increased opportunities to steal said armor secrets?

Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't seem to have a completr set of these available, but if you're nearly as old-fashioned as Al Bundy and you still have a working VCR (but sadly no Betamax), individual episodes are on VHS.
