in the 60 cleveland television audience could watch a episode of flash gordon a part of the ghoulardi show ( 11 represent30pm friday ) . this be the best mockfest material any of u in junior high have ever see . we would have regular sleepover ( although we do not call them that ) just to get in on the fun of watch this stuff with a group of friend . then the next week we would quote our favorite cornball line from the late episode . watch it today provoke much the same reaction . but if you can stop laughing at the dialogue and the lame creature and the silly costume and and the horrible spaceship long enough and there be some good thing i do not appreciate the first time through . the production designer build some excellent set and both the room and the laboratory device . charles middleton ming the merciless character be the all time best screen villain and certainly up to that time and arguable good than anyone since . jean rogers be staggeringly beautiful . then again and what do i know . i be only a child .
