You're kidding!  There was actually a series like this?  What year?

I just start giggling everytime I think of LBJ turning into granite...

This I remember -- one of my favorites at age 9 or 10.  I particularly liked
his ability to cover his metal surface with "plasta-skin" or whatever, in a
matter of seconds.  Beats phone booths all out...

If anybody could remember the complete lyrics... then all I can say is,
they're got one heck of a memory.  However, please post them.  Also, does
anybody remember if Eighth (not Eight) Man's creator was a criminal (who was
always trying to capture him again) or one of those saintly old scientists
who always appear in Japanese animated series.  I remember SOME recurring
villain throughout the show's history...

      "I want to buy a husband who, every week when I sit down to watch "St.
       Elsewhere", won't scream, "FORGET IT, BLANCHE... IT'S TIME FOR 'HEE
       HAW'!!" "
