      I know and you know, what's great. We all act like cartoons back then head no self-awareness and that we're so much smarter and funnier now. Hear the dialogue is still adored with all the straight-faced sincerity of a cheesy radio show from the forties, but they still were human enough to address that "no, this is weird no matter which way you look at it".

      @@michaelpalmieri7335 The second segment of episode 6 of *Super Friends: The Legendary Super Powers Show* (sometimes referred to as season 8) is called *Uncle Mxyzptlk,* and in it, Clark encounters some Red Kryptonite which turns him into a 6-year old kid. That kid isn't "dressed as Superman," it _is_ Superman. Anyhow, Mr. Mxyzptlk shows up, causes some mischief, then accidentally says his name backwards. This is all pretty standard Silver Age stuff... although this episode aired in 1984, at the tail end of the Bronze Age.

      @@Superlad945 If we really wanted to get into it, according to his creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, his name was originally spelled Mister Mxyztplk, originally pronounced mux-ITZ-pulk. But in the 1960s his name officially became Mxyzptlk (after a misspelling), and has been said MIKS-yez-PIT-əl-ik or MIK-sil-plik ever since. So between those two pronunciations, totally interchangeable, otherwise incorrect.

      Just for the record, I never read the original story, but I saw a reprint of it in a book called "Batman: From the '30s To The '70s." (It came out in the early 1970s.)

    My first exposure to Mxyzptlk was from 'Superfriends', and while I've also seen the Filmation 'Superman' series before, I've NEVER seen his appearance there. Interestingly enough, the Filmation series pronounces his name correctly, and I wouldn't hear the correct pronunciation of his name until 'Superman: TAS'. (Mix YES Spit Lick) And while I've never watched the 'Superboy' series regularly, I will say that they had the most comic accurate version of him put to live action even if he wasn't that short.
