Thanks so much for this. I did know about it and had always wanted to
see it. In one or the other lettercols in Action Comics, someone wrote
to say they'd just seen this sketch and wasn't it terrific? Mort said
sure, but wasn't it past your bedtime? I was nine and was pissed I'd
missed it.

And now, after 51 years, I finally get to see it. Thanks again.

I loved how Carol did the Tarzan yell when she went into action. Also
the fight music was the Popeye theme (did Adventures of Superman have
an action theme?). LOTS of funny bits in this one, especially the
ending. Given this was live TV, I am impressed with Carol's quick
change skills.

No. Followed it by three years.

The reason it was included in the Burnett set is that it's supposed to
be the first time Burnett ever did the yell on TV.

Uh ... yes.
