Shazam Goofs from the TV Series

In this video I look at goofs from the Filmation Saturday morning Shazam TV series from back in the 70's. Along the way learn how some of the effects from TV shows were done back in the seventies, especially low budget Saturday morning television series like Shazam featuring Captain Marvel. Have a laugh at some of the goofs and mistakes you might have missed as a kid watching this for the first time.

Shazam starred Jackson Bostwick and then John Davey as the comic book superhero Captain Marvel, Michael Gray as Billy Batson, JoAnna Cameron as Isis the superheroine, and Les Tremayne as Mentor.

Some things that superheroes do can really be puzzling and watching them make goofs on television can be a lot of fun. See if you can spot the goof while you watch the video.

Yeah, these old Saturday morning shows were made on a shoestring budget for sure, but they made the best with what they had and our childhood imaginations filled in the details.

I watched "The Shazam!/Isis Hour" every Saturday.
I bought the entire "Shazam!" series on DVD. ("Secrets of Isis" is WAY too expensive.)

Grew up watching SHAZAM! when I was a wee lad

Additionally, that's not even a kid being brought back to shore. They tried to make it look like the back of his head, but it's just some kind of fabrication.

I watched this to "marvel" (heh-heh) at the glorious legs of JoAnna Cameron!

Love this show as a kid. Also ISIS. I have both show’s seasons on DVD. As a kid, we didn’t see goofs or were looking for any. We just loved the show. Now, as an adult, it seems silly. Don’t get me wrong! I still love both shows. One that I always wondered about and thought was hilarious was, the lighting bolt on the front of the RV and also Billy’s red and yellow shirt that he always wore. The colors of Captain Marvel. How could the people never figure out that Billy was Captain Marvel? 😂

I grew up.watching shazam on Saturday morning when I was 8 years old

[haroldworthington]

Wow, in my nearly 50 years on this earth I've partied like a rockstar but I've never had my guitar shape shift before. LoL 🤣

[samueljames]

Your reveals are funny as hell. I remember spotting goofs when I was growing up watching those same shows. But your approach is hilarious. Keep em coming.

The most notable goof to me is, when David Banner, while sporting a beard, turns into the hulk, without a beard.

SEE NOW YOU ARE BRINGING TEARS TO MY EYES. THIS WAS MY GO-TO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING SHOW AND I EVEN THOUGHT I WAS CAPTAIN MARVEL MAKING A CAPE OUT OF MY MOMS SKIRT AND PANTYHOSE LMAO🤣🤣🤣. I'D GET UP REAL EARLY JUST SO I WOULDN'T MISS THE SHAZAM ISIS HOUR. NEVER SEEN THE GOOFS 🥰🥰🥰

[jeremyjeconner]

This is my youth I took a chance and watched the new Shazam movie and when Michael gray said thank you captain marvel or something along those lines he looked truly proud to say that almost as if it was an f you to marvel I loved that

[Everglistvr]

Shazam and Isis was also one of my favorites. Sounds like you and I had the same great childhoods!!!!

[cadeevans]

Never watched this show really need too love these classics and their goods

[dwaynelangerhr]

Thank You for calling Captain Marvel "Captain Marvel"

[jamesa.]

Shazam was good....but Isis was better to look at! 😋

It is absolutely amazing how in the '70s Shazam was teaching kids about character and ethics and that it's not about whether a person is thin or fat or the color of the skin or hair or any of these other things that make a sane society.. it was about their character. Here we are in 2023 however and it is the exact opposite. Damn I missed the 70s so much. And the '80s. And the '90s. And the early 2000s. To not have woke..

[haroldworthington]

Speaking of Deputy Droopy, there's another cartoon called Rock-a-bye Bear where they do the same run up a hill to scream gag but it's still just as funny.

And today, Captain Marvel says: "I'm a idiot!" Sad end of this beloved hero.

Just have to love looking for the bloopers. Of course, as kids we never looked for them. 😃😃😃
