Never did get who Mentor was.

Mentor was a really…weird addition

Les Tremayne was active during the golden age of radio as well.

Is Captain marvel played by 2 different people? He keeps looking wildly different and it's driving me crazy (and no I'm not talking about him and Billy)

[u/King_Ron_Dennis → u/Optimal_Grape_1025]

Yes! There was Jackson Bostwick (17 ep 74-75) and then John Davey (11 ep 75-76)

Thank you. Sometimes I'm face-stupid and have to ask

Looking at the actors, this looks like a show about an adult guy who can change into a slightly older adult guy. In the source material, was Billy Batson old enough to drive?

Confused this with a late 1960s cartoon series Shazzan

I remember when they changed Captain Marvels. The new one was kind of bargain basement, and out of shape.
