Radioactive Man was a television series that aired during the 1970s.[1] It was about the exploits of Radioactive Man and his sidekick Fallout Boy and was based on the comic book series of the same name. The series was sponsored by Laramie Cigarettes, the reason Radioactive Man often smoked during the series.[2] Its reruns are aired in syndication around Springfield.
When a feature film adaptation was made, the director said that they wanted to stay "as far away from the campy '70s version as possible."[1]

Behind the laughter[]
- The Radioactive Man TV series is an obvious spoof of the Batman TV series of the 1960s. In addition, the music resembles the theme song of the show.
