Review of Hank

Hank (1965–1966)
Interesting IMDb listing
14 October 2008
I also watched this show when I was a kid. I remember only the last line of the theme "He'll get his degree, his phi beta key, and get them both for free, that's Hank!"

But what I find more interesting is that, in this IMDb entry, the actor playing the lead, and titular, character isn't in the initial cast list - you have to press "more" to see him. (laugh).

Let me comment now on another IMDb "feature", the 10 line comment minimum. I finished all I intended to say above - you needn't read any further. There's nothing at all to do with Hank in this paragraph or anything following. But IMDb requires me to type more junk to accept my comment on a warm memory of a silly show. I have had the same reactions from others when I tell them about Hank - they don't remember it and think I've made it up or am imagining it - that other commenters relate.

I had the same reaction to my memory of Colonel Bleep. I spent years trying to explain to people this TV cartoon about an alien space man who looked like he was riding a unicycle and his sidekicks a caveman and marionette puppet who battled space villains in the rings of Saturn and the asteroid belt. No one remembered that either. I was beginning to believe I had imagined it all - I had a very vivid imagination as a kid, especially when it came to space related thoughts. But a few years ago I found some video tapes of Colonel Bleep episodes. I bought them immediately, and watched them as soon as I got home. They were just as I remembered them. Still, they were kids' entertainment and didn't hold me anymore, but it was such a relief to know that I hadn't made it all up.

Well, this should be enough. I hope their memory chokes on the extra junk people type just to get through the ten line minimum.
