Hip Flask | 1967

In the mid sixties, Flask was thrown on to the small screen in amongst a flurry of young adult oriented programming which included BATMAN, TIME TUNNEL and THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. In an odd twist of fate, HIP FLASK, AGENT OF T.R.U.S.T. was scheduled to run up against the original STAR TREK series, then in its second season. Although FLASK drew a devoted and loyal following, it was dropped by NABC after just 24 episodes. Ironically enough STAR TREK suffered the same fate just one year later and, in 1989, HIP FLASK's big screen debut would triumph over STAR TREK V at the summer box office.
