As of this day, it is the only Colonel Bleep episode brought back in the 2020s and the only episode not to be posted on YouTube (but it could be sometime soon). Along with The Treacherous Pirate and Nightmare, it is also one of three episodes to have its visual quality rejuvenated.
Before you watch The Malicious Mailman, you should watch The Lunar Luger first in the video below.
Completed watching this episode? Excellent! Now, I can explain the following episode before you plan on watching that next.
Set after the events of The Lunar Luger, Colonel Bleep invents the solar shield, a golden sun-shaped disk that is strong enough to resist the Lunar Luger’s moon-gravity control. Any pilot with a solar shield will be protected from certain doom from Dr. Destructo’s gruesome weapon. However, the doctor doesn’t let those shields get in his way. He assigns his robot, Bruto (often called The Black Robot, and yes, I know it sounds a bit problematic), to sabotage the delivery of packaged solar shields in the Futura mailing station.
Sarah Smith, who found this episode significant, and the staff of Multicom Entertainment Inc. restored it in the best condition possible, are creditable.
