On Episode 137 of the RETROZEST podcast, Curtis celebrates the 45th Anniversary of the premiere of Jason of Star Command! This was one of the few live-action Filmation shows which aired on Saturday mornings for kids from 1978 thru 1980. It was the sequel series to Space Academy (another Filmation show).
Assisting Curtis in this endeavor is the lead actor who portrayed Jason himself; CRAIG LITTLER! Craig and Curtis had a wonderful behind the scenes discussion about Jason of Star Command; topics include working with James Doohan and Sid Haig, as well as how this show was much better than its predecessor. Craig also shares other key points of his very successful career (including his epic role in the Grey Poupon Mustard commercial, and his stint as the Gorton's Fisherman).
If you'd like to watch all of Jason of Star Command, you may do so via this playlist on YouTube. Additionally, check out this great exhaustive reel of all Craig's commercial work (which also includes a few TV show appearances).
