Yup! And I remember when the Feds came in a padlocked the doors. I was driving by the one in East Brunswick when that happened and all the employees were standing outside the store because they couldn't get in. Wild times!

I think there were a couple more, but this was the first that popped up in a search.

spoox,
What about the rest of it???

All I can remember is something about "he can be anything he wants to be" while transforming himself into different objects like a locomotive. Gene Deitch created it, father of Kim Deitch the underground cartoonist. Interestingly a band in the 70s took the name of one of the characters on the show--and it wasn't Manfred the Wonder Dog...

Slight veer, but this is probably the only tune written for an ad that subsequently made the Billboard top 10 peaking at #3. The record is credited to the T-Bones, but was really recorded by the Wrecking Crew (LA studio musicians). Now, what was the product ad the tune came from,

Alka seltzer! I remember the commercial with the construction worker with a jackhammer and his big belly bouncing on top of it

I wish I had another one to throw out here but I'm currently drawing a blank

Spoox,
"I'm Tom Terrific, greatest hero ever.
I can be what I wanna be, 'cause I'm so clever,
And if you'd like to see, follow oh follow me.
If you see a plane up high, a Diesel train go roaring by,
a bumble bee, or a tree....it's me!
When there is trouble, I'm there on the double,
From Atlantic to Pacific, they know Tom Terrific."
(and said in another voice)
"And, and, and, I'm Mighty Manfred, the wonder dog, and Tom's ever faithful companion".

plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is.... One of the most effective advertising jingles ever! Good one, Walt.

Veer: ha
In spring of 1971 was in NYC (military school) and went to a Mets / Reds game. Seaver pitched and I have a picture of Seaver on the mound, Pete Rose batting, and Johnny Bench on deck.

Stuball48,
But there is a tenuous music connection here.
In the mid1930's, Seaver's parents heard a song that they loved, in a bar, while on their honeymoon in Arizona, and had the musician write it out for them.
Twenty-odd years later they introduced their daughter's folksinger boyfriend to the song, which he liked so much that he arranged it for his group. When they recorded it, the song became their most requested and popular tune.
The folksinger was Dave Guard, the group, the Kingston Trio, and the song, "Scotch and Soda".

Ah, Bob Shane and the boys. Frank Sinatra openly admitted, in an interview, why he never recorded "Scotch and Soda". He said that he could have never done a better version than Bob Shane's.
