In his book "Alex Toth: by Design", Toth, who designed the characters, reveals that Zandor was originally named Zartan, which was considered "too obvious,according to CBS' legal department", so the name was changed to Zandor. <br /><br />Also, the name of their planet was Amzot, not Azmot.

I never saw it in any store, but I should know by now that doesn't mean much since stores only carry a fraction of what gets released.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-1169275948089614882013-03-10T22:04:04.135-04:002013-03-10T22:04:04.135-04:00The Hurculoids was my second favorite Saturday mor...The Hurculoids was my second favorite Saturday morning cartoon, right after Space Ghost!<br /><br />John, you are correct: watching these as an adult, they are extremely repetitive. But I loved them as a 9 year old when they first ran in 1967!<br /><br />They were released on DVD in 2011 and are still available through Amazon. I bought the Space Ghost DVDs earlier, but never bought these.Fritz "Doc" Freakensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209589620766485745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-8891231385035847892013-03-09T20:12:53.367-05:002013-03-09T20:12:53.367-05:00Great show.

I loved the many prehistoric and alien creatures that would be featured every week. And who didn't lobe Gloop and Gleep? They were all cool characters. I haven't see this show in ages though. Is this ever going to come out on DVD? I would certainly pick this up if ever got released.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-75347540840331902232013-03-09T15:53:21.070-05:002013-03-09T15:53:21.070-05:00I loved The Herculoids.
