Mickey Mouse Club Serials: The New Adventures of Spin and Marty - Episode 3
The Mickey Mouse Club
By the show's third year, the Spin and Marty series was regarded as the centerpiece of the season's production schedule. The third installment was a massive affair of thirty episodes, with five juvenile leads. Besides original actors Tim Considine and David Stollery, and last year's Annette Funicello, the producers added Darlene Gillespie and promoted Kevin Corcoran to featured billing.
Lillie Hayward again handled the script, while Disney newcomer Charles Barton took over the direction. Since the Mickey Mouse Club was now only one-half hour, and used recycled musical numbers from the first season, the season's crop of replacement Mouseketeers were available as extras to save money. There was also a "recycled" feel to the storyline, as Spin and Marty once more clash over horses and girls.
