Truman Capote.
And the cartoon would've been better served by this nugget as the theme song:

Actually one of my bands, The Exotic Ones, covers that song... with yours truly doing the lead vocals. We haven't recorded our version yet, but it's a favorite at gigs. |

I know, right? I'd never seen or heard that before. I think it's amazing! Dig those lyrics and the attrocious -- so bad they're good-- rhymes... " Doc Bruce Banner
Belted by gamma rays
Turned into the Hulk
Ain't he unglamo-rays!
Wreckin' the town
With the power of a bull
Ain't no monster clown
Who is as lovable
As ever-lovin' Hulk!
HULK!" I mean, seriously..."unglamo-rays". Genius!Oh yes! As he has related, Jacques Urbont (the composer-lyricist) wasn't familiar with the comics or characters beforehand, but he got a few issues from Stan and created really memorable theme songs. Cap's and the Hulk's theme songs were my favorites when I was a kid--just so amazingly perfect.

Banner: John Ritter Hulk: something Frank Welker would've voice, or Thurl Ravenscroft Cool.
For those unaware... Thurl was both the voice of "Tony the Tiger", and the guy who sang "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch".
Frank Welker, among many other things ("Freddie" on SCOOBY-DOO) was the voice of Darkseid on THE SUPER FRIENDS and THE SUPER POWERS TEAM: GALACTIC GUARDIANS (the final 2 seasons of that show).
I could also picture Ted Cassidy ("Lurch"), especially after recently re-watching him in the 2nd-season LOST IN SPACE episode, "The Thief From Outer Space", where he plays "The Slave".
"GIVE ME THE BONES OF THE THIEF!!!"
Cassidy also did the voice of Galactus on the 1967 FANTASTIC FOUR cartoon.
Meanwhile... and I love figuring this stuff out... someone else pointed this out to me, and I never would have imagined it. Apparently, if you go all the way back to HULK #1 in 1962, Jack Kirby based his designs of Bruce Banner and The Hulk on... Burt Lancaster and Marlon Brando.
Kirby envisioned a "handsome Frankenstein"-- but his editor had it changed to make him more frigntening-looking by the 2nd issue!

Simply the mention of "Lost in Space" just makes me think about how absolutely hilarious it would be if The HULK sounded like Jonathan Harris...
as he says to Iron Man--- "Out of my way, you blundering bucket of bolts!" Oh, the pain.. the pain..." |

So, going by those lyrics, the Hulk only has the power of a bull? No wonder he got his ass kicked a lot more in that cartoon as opposed to the 1982 one.  |

I'm midway thru re-watching the entire run of LIS for the first time since the 70s. And one thing has been a huge surprise. Jonathan Harris, time and again, proived to me in season 1 that he could be a good actor... providing he had decent scripts, and wasn't being encouraged by an out-of-control executive producer to do whatever the hell he wanted and over-act excessively.
It made me dearly wish someone had made a point of maintaining a level of control and quality that, slowly, systematically, was vanishing the longer season 2 went on and on. I used to wonder why some fans complained about the 2nd episode that year, "Wild Adventure" (the one that took place entirely in space). No longer. Dr. Smith never stopped acting like a complete idiot for the entire length of the story (except for maybe 5 minutes in the middle). After that, it was actually some time before he got that bad again.
By the time you get to "The Dream Monster" and "The Golden Man", the stories are still decent, but Harris' acting (and apparently he was given full permission to AD-LIB much if not all of his own dialogue) was completely out of control.
By comparison, even a few weeks earlier, "A Visit To Hades" was one of my favorites that whole year-- in part because of Gerald Mohr (radio's "Philip Marlowe" and the voice of Reed Richards on the 1967 "Fantastic Four"), and in part because Mohr's character took such great delight in screwing with Smith's mind for most of the story.
"The man's an idiot! He thinks I'M the Devil and this is Hades!"
Like "BATMAN" from the exact same period, you have a show that remains quite memorable, and my love for both shows only makes me WISH they had been even better than they were.

Mohr was also the leader in Angry Red Planet, whose crew always seemed to me like a model for the FF.

I've only seen that movie once, but, yeah, I got that same impression.
Ever since the '67 cartoon show debuted, when I read an FF comic, I "hear" Mohr's voice in my head when Reed is talking.
I used to wonder why they didn't bring him back for the '78 FF cartoon... but then I found out, Mohr passed away in late 1968. Too young!
Ever since I found episodes of "THE ADVENTURES OF PHILIP MARLOWE" radio show posted online, he's become my favorite Marlowe... and it baffles me that they never cast him to play the part in any movies, or, the 50s TV series.
It's hilarious how many episodes involve him questioning some suspect, and all of a sudden there's a hesitation, and he'll say... "Oh, eh... what's with the HARDWARE?" --and you know somebody just pulled out a gun.
I love to make fun of the next week teaser by inserting a non-sensical line...
"Tune in NEXT WEEK when Philip Marlow SAYS..."
"But officer, this isn't even my car!"
