Cereal Adventures

Oh, yeah, that's right, I went for the obvious pun.

Few people realize that beloved children's cereal shill Cap'n Crunch made his first appearance in the short-lived serial "Captain Crunch and the Secret of the Crunchberries". Each episode featured the Captain and his sidekick, a manic depressive cuckoo bird named Sonny, getting blowned up real good, only to be revealed in the next episode that they had somehow miraculously escaped. It was canceled in 1941, due to outrage over pro-Germany statements made by Hans Von Schadenfreude, the actor who portrayed the Captain, and the sudden realization that serials were mad stupid, yo.

Movie serials

Or cliff hangers as they were sometimes called.

There were SO many back in the heyday of the cinema.
Even Houdini had a movie serial! (I hope someone does that one)

Believe it or not, I did...BATMAN!
Yes, he had a serial in 1943. In it he battled the nefarious...Japanese!
