The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show debuted in 1979 and ran on Saturday mornings for more than a year. Apparently, the cartoon version of Plastic Man's adventures was much changed from the comic. In this series, PM has two sidekicks: Penny, a blonde woman who pines for him (and later, evidently, marries him), and Hula Hula, a goofy, Lou Costello-ish "bad luck jinx" whose main function seems...
