The Thing
 
(1978) TV series 1978-1980
 

Genre:
Animation + Adventure + Comedy + Family

Synopsis:
A very loose adaptation of Marvel Comics' character The Thing, consisted of stories following the Thing as a teenager named Benjy Grimm who transforms into the rock-skinned superhero by touching together magic rings and reciting the words "Thing ring, do your thing!" The stories centered mostly around Benjy at Centerville High School with his friends Betty, her rich boyfriend Ronald, Kelly (Betty's kid sister) and teacher Miss Twilly. Kelly was the only person who knew about Benjy's secret. Other members of the Fantastic Four did not appear in the show, and the portrayal of the Thing and his origin story differed greatly from the original comics.
