I was a kid.  I didn't find out about this stuff until well into the 1980's when it came up on a broadcast.

Not only doomed a franchise but from my sources it's descendant caused the Corona Virus for revenge

Very interesting that you hadn't heard that.  Thought everybody knew that Punch corrected Campbell after putting on his glasses to make sure he saw it correctly.
