The "bad guy" on Tom Terrific was, of course, CRABBY APPLETON.

Remember Tom Terrific and his dog? I think the dog was called Monfred or Manfred or something like that. It was shown on some morning kiddie show but I don't remember which one.....? Bob Lagasse Biomed. Eng. Mass. General Hosp.

It was "Tom Terrific and Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog". The villain was Crabby Appleton ("I'm rotten to the core. I do a bad deed every day. Sometimes three or four... I laugh with glee, it pleases me, when everyone's unhappy."). I seem to remember that Tom gained magic powers whenever he put on a magic hat, which looked like a kitchen funnel. -- Bill Sebok Princeton University, Astrophysics {allegra,akgua,burl,cbosgd,decvax,ihnp4,noao,princeton,vax135}!astrovax!wls

Now, can somebody remember all the words to the songs. "My name is Crabby Appleton, and I'm rotten to the core ..." is about all I can remember. Bob McQueer amdahl!rtech!bobm

Okay... And speaking of Crabby Appleton, that was the name of a band in the late 60's. What was the name of their big (and only) song? Hint: G_ B___. Jeff M. Multimate International "There are two sides to every question, my side and the wrong side." - Veronica Lodge's father. .

Having grown up in the U.K., the "Tom Terrific Show", featuring Tom's dog Mighty Manfred, was my introduction to U.S. children's t.v. in 1956. I think I was entranced by the show because of Tom's headwear (an inverted metal funnel) which bore some resemblance to the characters of "Bill and Ben, the Flower Pot Men" which had been my favorite show on British telly. Mighty Manfred, the most inept, cowardly, overweight dog ever created, was the main attraction for my younger brother who would dissolve into gales of laughter when ever MM made his bumbling appearance.
