"Shazam!" star Jackson Bostwick talks about those sweet moral segments


Friend and fellow author Brian Lombard (of the Six Feet Under blog) dropped in on Jackson Bostwick of TV's classic "Shazam!" at an East Coast appearance this past weekend. Brian had a particular question to ask the star of the '70s Saturday-morning live-action show. This fan had always suspected that the moral segments shown at the end of the episodes (don't talk to strangers, do your homework, ya know ...) were all shot in one day. Bostwick confirmed that they were, and at Franklin Canyon Park, a site used for the original "Star Trek" series, as well as "The Brady Bunch." (Read more about it in this January 2017 post by Brian.) Bostwick also said the moral segments were his idea. So fun!
