I thought this was a funny pilot and if given a chance, would have made a hilarious program. I remember one scene in particular. Sonny Dracula coming home from school and he is crying and his father asks him what is wrong. Sonny tells his dad that all the kids in school are saying that his father sucks!! And of course, in truth, Dracula does!! LOL.

richard.fuller116 November 2014I remember the first pilot with Carol Lawrence. I would pretty much watch anything I came across back then that had Dick Shawn in it.
it was rather corny. I do recall something about the bat, which I think would speak to everyone. It was a puppet, I'm certain.
It was strange seeing Carol Lawrence in a program like this, as I always thought of her as a more serious-type performer. The little boy I don't recall, but see he was Benjy on Airport '77.
In one bit, he entered and called his father, Dick Shawn, "Pop".
Shawn came back with, "don't call me pop. Pop is a noise." That always stayed with me and my sister. We thought it was funny.
