Episode 28: Shazam! - "Double Trouble"

Shazam! "Double Trouble" September 27, 1975

Billy and Mentor are shocked to learn that Captain Marvel is
accused of robbing a gas station.  Billy's first instinct is
to investigate the matter, but he turns himself in as Captain
Marvel in order to prove a point to a young boy about the idea
that no one is above the law.  But if Captain Marvel is in
jail, who is going to prove his innocence?


John and Richard are both in agreement that this is one of the
best episodes in the entire series.  We learn though it's
one that Jackson Bostwick suggested as an idea for the show and
it allows Captain Marvel a lot more dialogue and screen time.
 The two discuss the potential of the episode, the
importance of the moral today in a world where many feel they are
above the law, and the number of known actors who appeared in
this episode.


It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of
the episode.  Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com.


​Moral: “Respecting the law is just another way of saying
that we respect each other. Laws have been made for the good of
everyone, and when someone breaks the law, they're saying "I
don't care about you." When you respect the law, you respect
yourself."
