Super Friends- G.E.E.C.

 

The title is "Professor Goodfellow's G.E.E.C."  The good professor develops a super computer which will relieve people of all the work in the world.  They can rest and learn and do whatever they want to do.  It is full of safeguards and will never fail.  He names it Goodfellow's Effort Eliminating Computer, and for a time, it works perfectly.  However, the prof leaves his cheese sandwich in the computer control room, which leads a mouse to get in.  After it has its feast, it runs all over the buttons and switches, making the entire world go crazy.  Good thing Plastic Man is there to help out.

Isn't this the basic plot of WALL-e (2008)?  Computers do everything, and people get lazy.  This episode is the third one, and it has the first guest hero.  A non-DC hero. Someone who was not a member of the JLA.  Eel O'Brien was not even in a regular book, nor had been for decades.    I was glad he showed up, though.  It is a decent episode.  The mouse is far too Jerry Mouse though.

Professor Goodfellow is voiced by John Stephenson, the original voice of Dr. Benton Quest.  I'm sure glad the Super Friends stopped computers from taking over our lives!
