Description by OLDIES.com:
BONUS: JOHNNY JUPITER: Broadcast on ABC during the 1953-1954 television season, Johnny Jupiter is surely one of the most bizarre children's shows to ever air on Saturday morning. Wright King plays Ernest P. Duckweather, an unsuccessful inventor making $15 a week at Frisby's General Store. One day, while fiddling with the knobs of an experimental television set, he accidentally tunes in the planet Jupiter! Now he can communicate with "the strange creatures" he sees on the TV: Johnny Jupiter, "a human, more or less", Major Domo, "the chief of the robots", and Reject the Robot, "able to appear and disappear at will!" (all played by puppets voiced by Gilbert Mack.) The industrious Ernest tries to involve his new friends in various get-rich-quick schemes. When they inevitably fail, the Jupiterians send Reject the Robot (now played by Philip London in a robot costume) to Earth to help Duckweather. Wright King had a close to 40-year career, with roles that include the newsboy who kisses Vivien Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), appearances on The Twilight Zone (1961-1963), and chimpanzee scientist Dr. Galen in the original Planet of the Apes (1968). This collection includes the episodes "Duckweather and the Professor" and "Duckweather: TV Repairman".
