I watched and loved Huck Finn in it's original premiere(1968)just like you guys.i was also thrilled years later when it appeared on the Banana Splits and friends show in the early 70's.i just bought the entire series on DVD that was transfered from VHS tapes. the picture quality isn't the best but it does contains the full original introduction that was edited out on the Banana Splits and friends show.i also found the show on DVD online in a store called "Worlds Best Comics & Toys".it's the Banana Splits presents The New Adventures of Huck Finn.i can't wait until they restore and remastered the entire series on DVD(without Banana Splits) because even after all these years i still love the show so much.i suppose i can wait since i already have a copy.But believe me, someday i'll find it(factory made) no matter what.And I have a funny feeling i'm right that i'll see it again.

To whom it may concern,Thanks for your article. This live-action/cartoon was a lot of fun and ahead of it's time. I agree it's a shame that it didn't find an audience on Saturday morning t.v. because I remember enjoying it very much as a child. However, I was surprised to see it once again after 35 years on Italian television. It's shown weekdays in the middle of the afternoon,just after school has let out. Everything dubbed in Italian of course, but still holds up really well. Who knows,if it stays on long enough this time maybe one day my kids will watch it and I can tell them all about it's origins in America.Tim Sarris

This was a highly innovative show at the time it was released. This was one of the first shows to mix live action and animation and it will always be one of my favorites. Too bad it is not shown anymore. Someone should write to the Cartoon Network and demand that this be shown. This is definitely a lost classic of animation.

Cartoon Network apparently has this episode in its extensive Hanna-Barbera library. They just showed an episode of "The New Adventures Of Huck Finn" on their Saturday morning program "Boomerang". The episode was entitled "The Eye Of Doogerah".Unfortunately, the Boomerang program just shows random episodes of old Saturday morning cartoons, but at least this rather unique (if not odd) program has been preserved for now.
