I infer from the previous two posts that the quotes were from one of the various Rocky and Bullwinkle shows, and that bulwinkl is stating that TLB was correct. If so, will TLB post one, this time?
Not "Sledge Hammer" (about two decades too late). Too bad hiway disqualified himself, because these lines from the opening sequence would (hopefully) have given it to him:
"It's the man who flies like an eagle!"
"It's the man with muscles of lead!"
"It's the masked enemy of all evil!"
"Are you kidding? It's some nut in his underwear."
"That's no ordinary nut, son. That's..."
"There's a would-be killer up there! Somebody get the police!"
"You are the police!"
"I certainly got here fast."
"What you're proposing is illegal, immoral and just plain rotten!"
"That's dandy; other mothers have sons that invent steamboats and telephones and things. Mine invents a lettuce machine."
"This is a democracy, Mr. Ibid. We can arrest people for practically anything."
"When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark."
is it ok if I add a hint ? Just like 'the Addams Family" and 'the Munsters" appeared at the same time-this show appeared at the same time as a similar-less funny, one did. They were both jumping on the Batman, comic book craze, and sank almost as fast.

Coincidentally, both shows (on different networks) debuted the same day and were canceled the same day (I think).
To steal a phrase from ANOTHER show, I'm just going to "flip over all the cards" here. The show was "Captain Nice." Carter Nash was a chemist with a potion that gave him super-powers. When he first used it, the explosion blew off his outer garments, leaving him in long johns and a belt. When asked what the "CN" on his belt buckle meant, the only answer he could come up with was "Captain Nice," much to his mother's dismay.
At the same time, "Mr. Terrific" (not associated with the DC Comics character), with a similar story line, was carried on another network. Both shows lasted less than one season.

Wow. This one's been dormant for a while... "Uh I've just been handed a news flash. The word "Canada" is unrhymeable. It's easier to - I don't know - get drunk and try to climb a bull

sorry-between 70 hour work weeks, and a ton of personal stuff, I somehow forgot it was my turn.
let's see if we can get this in 1 word-
"Jeepers"

Actually, Speedy said that on a recent "Batman: The Brave and the Bold"; but I think you're looking for
"The Adventures of Superman."

I knew George would know it. That's funny about Speedy. I doubt he was saying 'jeepers' every 5 minutes like Jimmy Olsen did, though.

I think he said it three times in the half-hour! Anyway...
I hope this goes in one quote, too, because I'm having trouble finding others
"Eddie, kiss me goodnight!"

We're going to hold you to that.
This one was bit obscure, but I bet hiway and WW watched it...
"This is a democracy, Mr. Ibid. We can arrest people for practically anything."
"When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark."
"Oh, every little kid's afraid of the dark."
"During the day?"

my 'first thought' is the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour-but I'm not sure

No, though the political subtext might have given you that idea. This show only ran one season, in the late 60's. Here are a couple more quotes.
"There's a would-be killer up there! Somebody get the police!"
"You are the police!"
"I certainly got here fast."
"What you're proposing is illegal, immoral and just plain rotten!"
"That's dandy; other mothers have sons that invent steamboats and telephones and things. Mine invents a lettuce machine."

I cheated and googled it. I should have known it, though. Good one.

If this show never appeared in syndication, then I never saw it.
My television-watching days started in the 1970s.
I'm wondering if it was something like "Spy-Smasher" or "Mister Scarlet".
One or both of them had a short-lived television show.
This wasn't an ANIMATED show, right?
