I loved watching the cartoon. My brother was the only other one I knew who was hip to it. We used to watch 8th Man constantly when I lived in there SF Bay Area from about 1966-1972 on the old UHF station KEMO-20. Along with Marine Boy, Astro Boy and Speed Racer. Long before all the kiddies “discovered” anime.It irritates me (probably more than it should!) that, aside from my siblings, nobody I know seems to remember "Tobor the 8th Man."
