Yeah Plastic Man seems to be one of those "odd" shows. But some of the older cartoon series also seem to have that sort of non-format where they could cut and paste, fitting it into a station's programming schedule without worrying about a specific sequence. These days, cartoons tend to have a more complex progressing storyline over a season but back then, it was more like a self-contained story in one episode. But it's not unheard of either.

They apparently did that with a bunch of shows; mixing 'n matching. I remember I typed in something like a "Godzilla/Hong Kong Phooey Power Hour" or something like that where they apparently mashed the Godzilla series and the Hong Kong Phooey series together for a few seasons. Why? I dunno. Neither of 'em seem to be very similiar except for maybe the production company were both done by Hanna-Barbara.

As for Power Rangers; it was a bit tiring but surprising to me as to just how MANY of these formulaic shows that Japan has cranked out involving color coded superheroes. I'm guessing that the Japanese kids must LOVE this sort of thing since they keep coming out with more. Of course, the American kids love 'em too considering how much they keep adapting them.

But getting back to the Plastic Man problem, we may have to think about some sort of modified arrangement for the TV show page  Say instead of an Episode Guide Section; we have a special note describing the weird format of the show with a list of the segments?

For that matter, should we think about some sort of modified arrangement for like TV Game Shows as well?
