James Bond, Jr. A Mac B Presentation, in association
with United Artists A Murakami Wolf Swenson Production Executive Producer:
Fred Wolf Developed by Michael G. Wilson, Andy Heyward, and Robbie London
MGM Television Distributed by Claster Television An animated kids show
featuring James Bond’s nephew (shades of Woody Allen), it was an attempt to reach
a younger demographic that the Bond audience had featured under Timothy
Dalton. Eon had discovered that the average age of a Bond viewer was 25 --
much older than the cinematic average. The show was a hit, and very popular among
kids 6-11. And with its fan base, Eon hoped to bring a new generation of American
fans into the Bond fold. They produced 65 episodes, syndicated weekdays, featuring
a teenage Bond, Q, Leiter, etc., who faced villains like Dr. Derange, Baron von
Skarin, Goldie Finger, and Walker D. Plank. They all work for "SCUM" -- Saboteurs
and Criminals United in Mayhem. Movie villains (now
updated and robotized) even appeared -- like Jaws, Dr. No, Goldfinger, Oddjob,
and even Nick Nack from The Man With the Golden Gun
(Herve Villechaize reprised his role by doing the voice).
