Hey, I Don't Remember This Show: Moby Dick and Mighty Mightor

Wait! The title character of Herman Melville's classic novel was in a cartoon show back in the 1960s? Not quite. The show in question did feature a white whale, but unlike Melville's character, it was a friendly whale. Or at least a whale which was more friendly towards humans than his famous namesake.

As for Mighty Mightor, one would have thought the concept of a prehistoric superhero would have caught on in high-concept Hollywood. But apart from an obscure cartoon show in the 1970s called Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels, it never did.
