Steve Rude presents Shazzan the genie and his younger masters, Chuck and Nancy, who are riding their magical camel Kaboobie. Shazzan was a short-lived Saturday morning cartoon that ran 18 episodes from September 1967 to January 1968.
Chuck and Nancy did not rub a bottle to release the genie. Instead they joined together rings they wore and shouted "Shazzan!” (which very much sounds like some other character’s magic word).
A few years later Ultraman Ace used a similar gimmick, at least for the first half of the series, when Seiji and Yuko had to join their rings to transform into Ace.
