Production notes
Protesting parents have been around as long as TV itself, and Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles was an early casualty. In 1968, the show was forced off the air due to excessive violence. Once the outcry cooled off, the mound of metal could be seen in reruns, in the form of The Space Ghost/Frankenstein Jr. Show, on NBC in 1976.
