The Champions "Get Me Out of Here!" #1.22 (1969) (TV)

The Champions rescue a scientist, 18 March 2017

Renowned research scientist Anna Maria Martes is being held against her will on the island of San Dios. The government wants to take credit for her discoveries. The Champions are sent in to extract Professor Martes.

While watching Get Me Out of Here!, I couldn't help but think that the whole thing felt like something more in line with what you'd see on Mission Impossible than The Champions. The IM team seemed to always be up against third world government thugs in a tiny, fictitious country. Also, Get Me Out of Here! never really used many of the Champions' special abilities (Sharon's biggest contribution was wrecking the car). The IM team could have easily handled this group of baddies. It was all sort of underwhelming.

On the positive side, I did get a kick out of Ronald Radd as the Commandante. His joy in holding Martes prisoner, for example, was really well played.

Overall, a 6/10 from me.
