World of Giants
One largely unremarked diamond in the Ziv TV Productions collection is 1958’s World of Giants, or, as the announcer’s voice booms in the show’s introduction, “WOG!” WOG stars Marshall Thompson as Mel Hunter, a “special, special agent” who was exposed to dangerous rocket fuel in a mission behind the Iron Curtain.
Upon his return home, he began to shrink until he was a mere six inches tall, and no doctor knows how to return him to his original size. However, his diminutive stature provides new opportunities for his work as a secret agent, allowing him to sneak unseen into gambling dens, carrier pigeon coops, and the purses of nefarious lady agents. With the help of his “normal” sized partner, Bill Winters, and their kind-hearted secretary, Miss Brown, Mel must combat foreign powers and ferocious possums alike in the World of Giants.
