HI Carla,

I apologize for the delay.  I've been sick and am still recovering and it's kept me away from answering questions.

Anywho, it sounds like  you're thinking of Mr. Terrific.  If you'd like to take a trip down memory lane, go here http://crazyabouttv.com/mrterrific.html

I`m a true member of the tv generation! I grew up doing my homework while watching the classics of the 60`s and 70`s and today, they are still my favorites. I have a big library of tv and film reference books at my disposal, as well as a large video library. My memory is pretty darn good too, and when that fails, I can hit the books and/or videos, not to mention a few friends who are as devout tv gen members as I am. Please note that my expertise is with American tv only.
