Okay, well I had to go look it up, but Iban is the answer you're looking for, I do believe.

Which of The Hardy Boys books is the only one to get an adaptation that's at least fairly close to the book on more than one television show?
(Note: There could possibly technically be up to two answers for this, though I would say one is of indeterminable measure.)

The only one that I can think of is The Clue Of The Screeching Owl. Although that was only on the 70's TV series. I can't think of any story that was made for 2 of the TV series.

tomswift2002 got it. The Clue of the Screeching Owl is the book I was thinking of. There was a version of this book on the 1970s The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries and on the 1969 The Hardy Boys cartoon. (According to episode guides online anyway. http://www.bcdb.com/cartoons/Filmation_Associates/H-R/The_Hardy_Boys/)
I was also thinking of The Tower Treasure since we know that The Mickey Mouse Club did "The Mystery of the Applegate Treasure" serial as an adaptation of that book and it's possible that the first episode of The Hardy Boys cartoon was an adaptation as well, but that's just conjecture until someone can get an official episode guide from Filmation or something.
Anyway- yeah, that one was hard, so good job on getting it!

Unfortunately lists for the Animated series are rather incomplete, seeing as the cartoon hasn't been on TV for close to 30 years, and no one is sure where the rights are.

In which Hardy Boys episode does a Shaun Cassidy LP make an appearance?

Oh I know this because I remember thinking "but Joe doesn't sing!" Crap it's on the tip of my tongue...err..fingertips. lol

Mattie · October 11, 2010, 06:23:58 PM

oh say can you sing? $:-\$

MacGyver · October 11, 2010, 06:52:56 PM

"A Perfect Stranger"? (total guess here- I'd have to go back and look at the episodes, but I know what scene you're talking about. I just can't remember which episode it's on. But it was really cool when they did that.

)

tomswift2002 · October 22, 2010, 06:35:44 PM

Here's a clue: the LP doesn't appear till the 95 series.

hardygirl847 · October 24, 2010, 12:18:26 PM

The 95 series??? Darn...I haven't watched those in probably a decade! I should get on that.

MacGyver · October 25, 2010, 06:07:01 PM

Yeah- I know it's on the 1995 series- I just can't remember which episode. One day I might actually have some time and watch these again. But I did enjoy this version of The Hardy Boys well enough when it was on the air and when I watched through the whole series after getting them on DVD.

hardygirl847 · October 26, 2010, 01:32:14 AM

I have to watch them again to decide how much I liked them or not. I just haven't had time. I should have a Hardy Boys Day or something soon. lol

No answer yet for this trivia question?? Was it the A Perfect Stranger episode?

MacGyver · October 27, 2010, 07:34:53 AM

Okay, I finally went back and looked through the episodes and after watching "A Perfect Stranger" again- I can tell you, it's not that episode. The episode in question is "Jazzman".
