I've seen the episodes 'Duckweather's TV Shop' and 'The Professor' from the second ABC series. Although the stories are simple and don't hold much interest for adults, it's interesting to see an early fantasy sitcom that has many of the elements that later shows like 'I Dream of Jeannie' and 'Bewitched' would later follow. The plots are thin, the acting poor, and there's little sense of consistent logic. I've read about this show from other sources and some reviewers seem to think that 'Johnny Jupiter' contains some manner of educational content for young viewers. The only things I learned are that if you're a bumbling Jerry Lewis wannabee then you shouldn't open a TV repair shop, the planet Jupiter has it's own television stations and inane cardboard robots, and oh yeah- M&M's are a tasty treat that can't be beat!
