The New Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as a half-hour live-action /animated TV series which was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and aired on NBC primetime in 1968, based on the famous Mark Twain characters. In it, Huck Finn (Michael Shea), Becky Thatcher (Lu Ann Haslam) and Tom Sawyer (Kevin Schulz) were constantly on the run from Injun Joe (Ted Cassidy), who sought revenge on them for testifying against him in court, Tom and Huck having witnessed Joe's murder of Dr. Robinson. The episodes which ensued thrust them into various make-believe fantasy worlds; their surroundings were animated, while Huck, Becky and Tom themselves remained live-action. The series itself aired from September 15, 1968 to September 7, 1969 for 20 episodes, airing Sunday evenings on NBC-TV at 7:00pm/6:00pm Central. It was later syndicated as part of 'The Banana Splits & Friends Show' aka 'The Banana Splits Adventure Hour'. On cable, repeats of this show (without the original opening sequences) aired on Cartoon Network and its sister channel Boomerang. In December 1968, Gold Key Comics published a one-issue New Adventures Of Huck Finn comic book, The comic book was based on the episode "The Curse Of Thut" (which aired around the same time).
