| Mission: Magic! with Tickle and Rick |
ABC
September 15, 1973
Cartoon
DVD
B-
Despite the reuse of the song "Drummer Man," this is one of the better episodes, mostly because of the intriguing character of a magical schoolteacher. In fact, Miss Tickle (as in "mystical") had her own cartoon series that Fall, Mission: Magic! with new Australian teen sensation Rick Springfield. Also making poachers the villains is pretty daring, if no more so than George of the Jungle six years earlier. Note that the frenemies (Chuck, Fleetwood, and Babs) seem to be gone for good in the second season, which can only be an improvement.
