Hal Seeger created this Animated Anthology in the 1960s for ABC. The show was to have debuted in September 1964, but it was delayed until October 1965. Its run ended in September 1968.Milton was a lovable, friendly monster who only superficially resembled Frankenstein's Monster. His voice was based on Jim Nabors' Gomer Pyle from The Andy Griffith Show. Milton was created by Professor Montgomery Weirdo and his assistant, Count Kook, in their laboratory atop Horror Hill. His loveable personality had been the result of a lab accident during his creation. Professor Weirdo, in his haste, accidentally added too much tenderness and Milton was the result.Because Milton was so good and lovable, Professor Weirdo and Count Kook spent many sleepless nights plotting ways to evict him from the castle. Also living in Weirdo's castle atop Horror Hill were two other creatures, Heebie the ghoul and Jeebie the hairy cyclops, who joined in the adventures. Voice talent included Bob McFadden, Dayton Allen, Larry Best and Beverly Arnold.The Milton the Monster Show had the following supporting segments: Fearless Fly told the story of Hiram, a meek insect who became a superhero when he put on special glasses. Flukey Luke was about a cowboy hero whose Indian sidekick, Two Feathers, spoke with an Irish accent. Muggy-Doo, Boy Fox was about a foxy con artist who was originally portrayed as a cat in a 1963 Paramount theatrical cartoon, "Boy Pest With Osh" (which in turn was based on a comic book Hal Seeger drew in the early 1950s). Penny Penguin was about a bratty little penguin girl and her parents. Stuffy Durma was about a millionaire hobo. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Milton the Monster / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Milton talks like Jim Nabors. Heebie's voice resembles that of Peter Lorre. Fangenstein is a parody of Marlon Brando from The Wild One. | |

| Milton the Monster / int_225d8ff9 | comment |
Ambiguously Human: Count Kook has the dress sense and accent of a typical vampire, but it's never made clear if he is one. Or if he's actually a count, for that matter. | |

Bourgeois Bohemian | |
| Milton the Monster / int_4756a7f | comment |
Bourgeois Bohemian: Mad scientist Professor Weirdo is a beret-topped parody of middle-aged Beatnik artists, treating the monsters he creates as his living art pieces. His rival Professor Fruitcake is more of an Absent-Minded Professor always dressed in black graduation gown and be-tassled graduation cap, treating his monsters as wild dorm students. | |

Three Shorts | |
| Milton the Monster / int_4ef0ebb0 | comment |
Three Shorts: Each episode featured three different cartoons often times using the ABC format. Oddly enough the titular segment was often shown last in any given show, with A being Fearless Fly, B being one of the remaining cartoon shorts rotating each week(Stuffy Derma, Muggy Doo, Penny Penguin, Flukey Luke), and finally C being Milton. Other times it would utilize the ABA format with an episode of Fearless Fly sandwiched in-between two cartoons of Milton. | |

Losing Your Head | |
| Milton the Monster / int_62cae28a | comment |
Losing Your Head: One of the seldom-seen inhabitants of Professor Weirdo's manor is a disembodied head under glass whose shoulder-length (if he had shoulders) hair stands on end during one of the intro segments. In one episode, the disembodied head refers to himself explicitly as Milton's uncle, though it is unclear whether that makes him Professor Weirdo's brother or his uncle (and therefore Milton's great-uncle). | |

Comically Small Demand: One episode has Professor Weirdo's arch-nemesis Professor Fruitcake take control of him with a voodoo doll, and threaten to kill him unless he is paid...$100! Weirdo is too stubborn and cheap to pay up, and by the end of the episode Fruitcake settles for $5. | |

Poke the Poodle | |
| Milton the Monster / int_991af300 | comment |
Poke the Poodle: Despite being more "evil" than Milton, this is about as bad as Heebie and Jeebie got. Apart from that one time that they tried to feed Professor Weirdo, on Kook's prompting to their alligator and then to a carnivorous plant. | |

My God, What Have I Done?: Humorously inverted with Professor Weirdo after Milton rises. He is shocked and horrified because he created something good. Which for him means that he did something very wrong. | |

Our Monsters Are Weird | |
| Milton the Monster / int_d42fb539 | comment |
Our Monsters Are Weird: Professor Weirdo creates monsters by pouring bizarre liquids into a sort of "monster gelatin mold" and then waiting for the mixture to congeal and rapidly harden into a fully-formed monster. This may be a case of Our Homunculi Are Different since the liquids-congealing-in-a-mold method is pretty much the method by which alchemists would create homunculi according to folklore. | |

The Starscream: Count Kook makes several less than subtle attempts to dispose of Professor Weirdo and replace him as the head of the household. Examples include abandoning him to be buried alive when he was supposed to dig him out and talking Heebie and Jeebie into revolting. Gung Ho attempts to dispose of Doctor Goo Fee on several occasions. | |
