The Invaders (1967-1968)



"Three brief promos for The Invaders ABC-TV series from 1967-1968." I read somewhere that the aliens were originally going to have an eye in the center of their palm, but by the time the series went into production they just had stiff little fingers.

Tiger & Bunny 21



Episode 21, "Heaven Helps Those Who Help Themselves."

Framed for murder, Kotetsu is on the run. Who can he count on when no one remembers him?

The title of this episode of course refers to Aesop's fable, "Hercules and the Waggoner."

A Waggoner was driving his team along a muddy lane with a full load behind them, when the wheels of his waggon sank so deep in the mire that no efforts of his horses could move them. As he stood there, looking helplessly on, and calling loudly at intervals upon Hercules for assistance, the god himself appeared, and said to him, "Put your shoulder to the wheel, man, and goad on your horses, and then you may call on Hercules to assist you. If you won't lift a finger to help yourself, you can't expect Hercules or any one else to come to your aid."

Heaven helps those who help themselves.
