Kid Superpower Hour with Shazam!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kid Super Power Hour with Shazam! was a NBC Saturday morning cartoon produced by Filmation Studios in 1981. It contained two segments, Hero High (about a group of students in a high school for superheroes), and Shazam! (the adventures of Captain Marvel and his Marvel Family).
The actors who voice the Hero High cartoon characters perform onstage as their characters each week in live-action song-of-the-week segments during the program. They also did three comedy sketches which mostly had corny jokes, in the style of Laugh In or Hee Haw.
