For those interested, here is an interview with Deven English, the lone female member of The Hardy Boys band that recorded and toured in conjunction with The Hardy Boys cartoon series!

Here's a song from the cartoon show that never made it to either LP, but it was apparently a track on the very scarce "Wheels" 8-track.

Wow! I didn't realize there was a song only released on the Wheels 8 track tape! Cool! Thanks for sharing this rare song. :) 8)

There's apparently another song that's only in the cartoon called "What Can I Do", but it apparently never got a film release, or it might've been dropped for copyright issues and replaced with another song for the 16mm releases.  But it never got on the records and hasn't been heard since the last time the series was broadcast.

But I was reading today, apparently this was one of 3 shows that Filmation had a contract with Fox in the late-60's to produce, so The Hardy Boys might be with Disney now!  (The other two were Journey To Thd Center of the Earth & Fantastic Voyage

Hello Girl was recorded by Reed Kailing who voiced Frank Hardy, about 2 years earlier when he was part of the group Destination.

Thanks for the other tidbits about the cartoon show. Good to know!
   I certainly wish someone would give this version of The Hardy Boys a complete series DVD release!

Little interesting thing, but I was watching the 1975 'Wonder Woman' Season 1 DVD set, and in the first regular episode ("Wonder Woman Meets Baroness Avon Gunther"), who shows up but Fenton Hardy himself, Edmond Gilbert as the Warden of a prison.  And he also has a son in the episode who enjoys playing detective (although it's mentioned that he like Sherlock Holmes with no mention of the Hardy Boys).  Considering this episode was made a year before the 70's Hardy Boys show, no one would've been making any connections.

Ha! That's neat! That's what you call a cool coincidence! I have the Wonder Woman series on DVD. One of these days when I get around to watching it, I will have to watch for Edmund Gilbert's appearance. I have actually recently been watching Bill Bixby's 1973-1974 show The Magician on DVD and I also just saw Edmund Gilbert on an episode! Of course, he was playing a villain though, so that was quite a departure from what I'm used to seeing from him as good guy detective Fenton Hardy- or even good-natured hero Baloo on Talespin:) 8)

Are the Season 3 episodes the Syndicated episodes from the VHS/DVD era or did Universal dig out the network masters?
