Episode 50: SHAZAM! - "Ripcord"

Shazam! "Ripcord" September 25, 1976

Bill is a young boy who is in a hurry to grow up so that he too
can skydive like his older brother.  The problem is, he's
in so much of a hurry, he doesn't always think and gets himself
and his brother into trouble.  Can Billy help Bill see how
wrong he is or will it take an act that gets his brother in
danger for him to see the error of his ways?


John and Richard discuss the Mego line of toys that features
Captain Marvel, the brevity of the episode in terms of length
of story time, and John's horrible flashbacks to Jaime Sommers'
skydiving accident.

​Moral: “Sometimes there are things that a kid wants to do
but he's too young for. Be patient. We grow up a lot sooner
than we think."
